Well, here I am about to comment on another 'news trending' topic. I can't help it; my heart is heavy. I have found myself reflecting over the last 48 hours since I heard the news in Charlottesville. I must say I am speechless. I don't quite know how to put into words the sadness…

Apples and Oranges
I had never heard of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale until this year. Probably because I was never really on Instagram before and it seems to be all that the fashion bloggers are talking about. Now, I will be the first to admit that I foolishly thought a sale meant discounted prices. Not so. I…
Open Arms
I am not one who particularly enjoys posting on a 'hot to trot' topic like the ones currently trending on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook; but I feel that I have no choice given the hatred being spewed in oh- so -many directions. There are some days where I just want to ignore the news outlets…
{a few of} My Favorite Things
I frequently find myself ranting and raving about product discoveries so I figured I would condense them here and share my excitement in a blog; what else is a 21st century momma to do {read: I am caving to social media conformity and making a list}. My life has been changed by a few simple…

Irony is a {*}itch.
**The following blog post is rated PG-13. Reader discretion advised** You know that feeling where life is flowing as smoothly as a baby's behind and just keeps going that way? Yea, me neither. For years I have been plagued by a shithead who insists that plans and budgets are for suckers. His name: Irony. We have…
{De}stressed
I don't know about you, but there are some days where I just don't think I can make it through the day. Ever since Daylight Savings came to an end, I have been struggling. Remind me why Daylight Savings is still a thing. You would think that one hour would not impact your child or children's sleeping…
Country Lovin’
I have always lived near civilization; retail stores minutes away. I had pictured myself neighborhood living in a populated town where my kids could ride their bikes from dawn until dusk. Which is strange because I am really not a 'people person'. I like to think that I am friendly and welcoming but I cannot deny that…
Zootopia: A Cinematic Gem
*The following contains one lonely little affiliate link. You can read my full disclosure policy here. As I mentioned here, finding a family movie can be challenging. Ratings are helpful, but in my book, not always accurate. I don't know about you, but some of these flicks teach a lesson that I am not excited…
Golden Era
I have spent near a decade either birthing babies or breastfeeding them. I have been pregnant so many times that I am not sure if my mismatched food combinations and tendencies toward irritability are from hormone level fluctuations or my actual personality. I have not had my body to myself in enough years that I still think twice before taking…
