As you all know, I turned 30 at the end of February. It was a little stressful for me. Who was I? Who did I want to become? All that good stuff. One of the many questions I pondered, was baby related. I have always wanted to be a mother. When I was little I…
Read MoreWalking & Talking
Our life can be chaotic. It’s currently not where we want it to be. Every day we are working towards our goals. Home time is mostly busy. On the days when we are caught up on chores, and errands, and work, and bath times, we get a chance to snuggle in and watch a movie.…
Read MoreThe Sweet Taste Of Literature
I love books. The musky smell of an old classic. The texture of the paper. The weight of a hearty read in my hands. E loves to bite. Chew. Destroy. I’m guessing quite of few of you toddler-wranglers are sitting on a stack of mangled board books, not wanting to throw them away. I can…

In the far reaches of my closet, lives an orange suitcase. It’s a thrift store find from the 70’s. I don’t remember when I got it. I was young. I’ve used it to store my keepsakes and secrets. The trinkets that children and adolescence…
Read More20 Days to 30
You always think that you will have more time. Why is that? I am not an open person. Many parts of my life have been difficult, and I was raised to keep it to myself. “Our business is nobody else’s”. Except sometimes it is. Sometimes there are people who can and will help you, but…
Read MoreFinding Time
I am exhausted. I just can’t seem to find the time. It’s not just the two toddlers. It’s working full time at crazy o’clock in the morning. It’s the non-stop busy. It’s my husband working around my schedule, so that the kids don’t go to daycare. It’s a lot. Plans are in the works. Things…
