This Friday, I’m feeling all kinds of determined. I have talked about my fitness woes before. You all were full of suggestions and support! Love that! 🙂 Things are slowly turning around for me in that area. It all started with Twitter. Yep, Twitter. I got a tweet from a workout group here in the […] Read more…

First Day Jitters
Sometimes we’re ready for the stuff that comes our way. At other times we have to get ready. My first baby started elementary school yesterday. I had so much anxiety about it all. I was totally nervous about him fitting in, making friends and all of that. Preschool was one thing but this…this is big […] Read more…
TGIF? Nope, I’ll Pass
Fin. I’m done with it. TGIF and I shall now part ways. Yep, we broke up. I am all aboard and hitching my wagon to that whole “ain’t life grand train”. I am all about not being this girl anymore. I don’t know that I’ve ever really hated Mondays. Yeah, it means the end of […] Read more…
Life is short. Be happy. #theend
There’s something about getting older and having huge responsibilities. It changed me. It changed my outlook on life. It changed the things I care about. I care less about some things and more about others. In the end, I think I’m happier for it. I don’t bother with trying to “make” people like me. Sometimes […] Read more…
Living the Dream?
I was sold. Hook line and sinker. I wanted it all. I wanted the house, the car, the husband, the kids, the career and all of the “things” that say I’m rocking this life thing. I got it all sewn up! There’s this idea that if you drive a certain car, wear particular clothes and […] Read more…
School Shopping with Schoola #clothes4schools
Our house is full of kids toys and clothes. Some of them are in use, some are not. I have been in the process of bagging things up and getting them ready to be given away or sold. At first, my son had a problem with this. He was not amused by me taking his […] Read more…
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. The author was talking about the need to be a selfish mother. At first, I balked. My thoughts went straight here: You can’t be selfish once you have […] Read more…
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’ve got a new baby…
I’ve been sharing my life here for almost four years. It’s been a fun and rewarding journey. I’m NOT stopping! I’ve loved getting to know all of you and following your stories too. I have expanded though. I’ve mentioned before that I had stared another site. It’s my namesake and it’s totally devoted to inspiring […] 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…
