I know my mentor and conference buddy will be an awesome guide so I’m […]

Let’s talk make-up for a minute. Specifically, foundation. A good one is hard to find right ladies? Well, I know it is for me. Now, I may be slightly picky, but I think I’m allowed to be considering that foundation is called that for a reason – its sets the stage for all of […]
Have you started your back to school shopping yet? I know, school just got out right? Well where I’m at, we only have a little over a month left before we go back and that time is flying by! Unfortunately for this mama, my kiddo is going into 7th grade and getting bigger […]
As a parent, one of the hardest things in the world to handle, is seeing one of your kids in pain. Today started out pretty rough and my heart is hurting for my son. A little background here…my son, right now he’s 12, doesn’t get overly attached to people. He has friends, a couple very good […]
What do you do when the kids are home from school and the daily routine is less than exciting? The new has worn off of summer break and mom and dad are about to snap if they hear the phrase “I’m bored!!” just one more time. The good news is that there are some things […]

I’m a failure, my first blog challenge and I blew it. I missed a day of posting for NaBloPoMo (it was Thursday in case you hadn’t noticed). I was doing freaking awesome, I had stuff written days in advance and scheduled to post. I kept myself going even when I lost my faithful companion […]
We are officially back from our Labor Day 2013 Camping trip. Miraculously we made it there and back with the kids (ours and my nephew), the camper, and the Chihuahua all in one piece and my husband and I did not find it necessary to rip each other’s heads off at any point during the trip. […]
