New Year, same me but better. I am not picking a resolution (as mentioned in my previous post), but I am still making changes. One of these changes involves my parenting style. I know many of you have read the unstoppable force that is our daughter, but I found myself struggling with parenting a strong-willed…

I hate new year’s resolutions; I can’t be the only one, right? It is so easy for people to give up after the first month if we do not stick to them. January 1st rolls around, and we choose things such as losing weight, reading more, having patience, or being more organized. Whatever your resolution…

I am a perfectionist at heart. Everything that I set out to accomplish should be picture perfect and at my absolute best. I am a baker by hobby, especially around the holidays. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have a two-year-old. Our toddler is currently in a stage where she wants to mimic everything…

Good morning, friends, family, and visitors! I took a break from the upkeep of my blog in order to fulfill the last class of my master’s degree. Although it is hard to believe, I am not yet sick of writing or sharing lessons I have learned with others (side note I would also love to…

Our beautiful, kind, smart little girl is always on the go. She is someone who sees an opportunity, develops a goal, a plan, and off she goes. Recently, at church, she found a couple opportunities. Last Sunday, our little love found a connection between her class and another. This connection was used to bring new…

Have you ever tried to change as a person? Like really desired to change your negative, deep rooted, angsty pieces of yourself that are too ugly to love? This is going to be a post where I pour out my ugly because I am on a roll about being honest with y’all. (Please don’t unfollow…

I think I should be able to do it all. End of story, if I think it, I believe I can do it. There is nothing more overwhelming then seeing something and being like “oh yeah, I am going to pour some of myself into that”. For most people, that isn’t a problem, unless you…

I am in a Bible study! That’s a major achievement because I am a socially awkward human being who needs a ton of reassurance. Honestly, I talk way too much when I am nervous (every single week I am nervous). The women in my study are wise and have multiple years on me when it…

Our daughter ended up in the dish drain. I walked into the kitchen and found her on the counter sitting in the dish drainer. Honestly, my first thought was that she had watched Beauty and the Beast way too much and decided she’s a tea cup. I snapped a picture before taking her out and…

I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful children, a dog, and cats. My home is chaos and always needs something straightened, cleaned, vacuumed, or mopped. As a result, I do a lot of running back and forth with very little direction. Every room is cleaned, but it takes twice as long, and…

I like the idea of changing. I have read so many books on how to improve areas of my life and I implement these changes as I see fit. The key phrase being IF I see fit. When you want to change in your own power, read a self-help book. If you want to change…
