Selfish Mama: Am I Talking to You?
Not too long ago, I was having a conversation with a friend. She was telling me about something that she’d read. It was a post about motherhood.

When Working Out Doesn’t Work Out
In my old life, I was a work out maven. Mostly when I was single. I worked out five days a week, two hours a day. I loved it. Sure, it was probably keeping me single but I was in shape! I looked good, y’all! Fast forward to my newlywed days. I used to get […] Read more…

I Think It’s Already Started… American Girl
My thought is that it’s inevitable. At some point most little girls develop this love for a baby doll. My daughter is no different. She is absolutely over the moon about her “baby”. She won’t give “baby” a name. I suggested naming here Jasmine. She looked at me and said, “no, BABY”. Her little face […] Read more…
What I’m Feeling Friday… Girly
With summer being in full swing, I have re-ignited my love of dresses. I find myself window shopping and lusting over beautiful dresses. For the summer I choose maxi dresses more often than not. They are just too easy to pass up. This quote seems to sum up how I’m feeling lately… I don’t know […] Read more…
Saving Art with Schoola
Some things have to happen, some things don’t. My kids grow like weeds and I have to buy them new clothes and shoes faster than they can wear out their old stuff. Getting them new stuff, has to happen. The first cut many schools make when the budget gets tight : the arts. That shouldn’t […] Read more…
