As days seem to currently mesh together, I have come to determine during these hectic times, you can’t pour from an empty cup. I find myself asking a lot of questions. One being top of mind is, am I doing the best I can? I constantly have internal battles with myself between working a full […]
Before I begin, I should let you know that I’m a dad. So, what’s a dad doing writing on a mom’s blog anyway? Well, I feel like I have had something rolling around in my head that I want to say – to my wife, and to other moms and dads. SO, I’m taking a shot […]

Before I go any further with this I’ll give my disclaimer. To each their own and you can go on with your bad self if you disagree. I ain’t mad at cha! This past year as we were preparing for my son and daughter’s 3rd and 5th birthdays, I mentioned to my husband that I wanted […]
When my middle skittle was four, we had a doctor’s appointment. During the visit, my son was just all over the place. It was totally normal for him. He tried to open all the doors to all the rooms and tried to jump on the scale as hard as he could. To the untrained eye, […]
