Love Grows Here.

As the season is starting to change and Valentines Day is approaching, literally, it’s tomorrow, the dreaded Winter blues is melting away and Spring is near. The global pandemic feels like it is in its 10th year or season seven of whatever shows been airing that long. Nothing makes sense anymore, McDonalds’ meals are cheaper than a gallon of milk; aka inflation is no joke. What brings me…

Under Stair Closet D.I.Y

Under Stair Closet D.I.Y

I’m obsessed with D.I.Y. My husband, not so much, so when we do projects together I truly value it. Here is the latest house project we did together. This space was something that definitely needed some help but also wasn’t high on the priority list. Here is the closet in all her glory. It was a let’s shove it in here and close the door type of situation, but i knew it had so much potential! So…

Target Deal Day Finds (ends 6/22)

Anyone else obsessed with Target? Or is it just me? I love me some Target. I spend way to much money but goodness me I cant help myself. I always joke with my husband that they pump drugs into the air and makes you go spending crazy! Obviously I am totally joking, but how else can I justify what goes into my cart. I go in for diapers and walk out with $100 (well) spent. Not sure how…! So Amazon…

DreamEgg Humidifier | HONEST REVIEW

DreamEgg Humidifier | HONEST REVIEW

That time of year has come again where the air is dry and cold and flu is ever so prominent. Mixed with the current pandemic, it’s a recipe for disaster. I have been wanting to try a cool mist humidifier for some time, we only had a warm mist one. Our warm mist one is from Honeywell and can be bought at big box stores, I got mine at Target years ago. Humidifiers can be pretty pricy and it’s so…

DINO TRUCKS | Honest Review

DINO TRUCKS | Honest Review

Mental Check In

Recently I have been really struggling a lot. My depression and anxiety cloud my days and sometimes I just want to lay in bed and veg out while I watch movies to relax my mind. We have a lot going on right now with the move, selling of our house and trying to navigate how to safety celebrate Christmas with our families. We are and have been taking Coronavirus very seriously, so moving during the…

Dear Body

I love you.

I hate you.

Thank you.

You failed me.

Dear my body,

You have done wondrous things, things I never imagined possible, you traveled Europe, you carried two babies, you survived college. You are amazing. I am thankful for this body, but I am also not. I had different plans for my children’s births and you failed me. I got so sick in Europe that I almost had to come home. You did survive…

Stress Free Homeschooling

I always knew if I was going to have children, I wanted to homeschool. Parker is at such a fun age where he is truly learning so much the moment he opens his eyes in the morning and shuts them at night. London is also a eager little learner herself.

I thought having a structured school time was going to be the most valuable, but everyday is so different, so I have been doing a toddler led…

Mental Load: My Coronavirus Thoughts

Mental Load: My Coronavirus Thoughts

As a germaphobe, I thought I would be prepared for a pandemic. Going into the chaos of the Winter blues earlier this year to a full-blown pandemic has really been eye opening. I live with something called mysophobia. It’s essentially a fear of germs, like an extreme fear, while others may think my mental illness is silly or annoying, it’s something I battle with everyday and it is real. Some…

Virtual Target Run

It’s been since September 2019 that I have stepped into a Target store! Yeah, once my Target implemented Drive-Up, I never looked back because trying to get two kids rounded up and quiet so mama can shop was not going to happen. Plus i’m a major germaphobe so theres that. But now with the global Pandemic keeping everyone in-side, I kind of miss my gal pal Target and the thrill of finding new…

Today marks 18 days till Christmas. Anyone else feel like that snuck up on them? I’m feeling really festive, but I need time to slow its roll so I can soak up my babes during this holiday season.
