My son looks young for his age. Primarily because of his height. And everywhere he goes, people make sure to tell him. Every new doctor. Every new teacher. Every new classmate. Man, I wish I was exaggerating. I Can Relate When I was a kid, I was very thin and very insecure about it. And … Continue reading My Kid Looks Young

The Person That I Want To Be
I feel like I'm still figuring out who I am. I believe that I am inherently a good person but sometimes (ok, lots of times), I get reminders that I'm still a work in progress. I'm also a person who is obsessed lately with buying positive message shirts like these. So back to the reminders … Continue reading The Person That I Want To Be
Sweet Mama’s Southern Home Cooking Made My Tummy Happy, A Review
Sweet Mama's opened on Cesery Boulevard, a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to try it! After driving past it for days while taking the kids to school, my curiosity was definitely piqued. Thanks to the nextdoor app, I learned it was open. They don't have a website so I kind of felt like … Continue reading Sweet Mama’s Southern Home Cooking Made My Tummy Happy, A Review

It was a good excuse to take my bearded dragon on a field trip and, also, reptiles are cool. 🙂 The turn out was not too impressive but it was still fun. We wandered around and looked at the animals. We … Continue reading Discovering The World of Reptiles At Petsmart
My Kids Are Miraculously Mine.
I love the thrift store and the amazing things I sometimes find. The other day, I saw this picture. I hesitated because, as I have mentioned before, I have read many posts about the "wrongness" of celebrating adoption. I have read about how it can be a tragedy for the biological connections. How adoption means … Continue reading My Kids Are Miraculously Mine.
Continuing The Journey Of A Healthier Life
Well, a week has passed and I'm actually still on the workout kick so I guess it's legit. 🙂 In the time since I last wrote about it, I have made it to the gym twice (That was my goal, woohoo!), walked the dog once, and tried yoga. Yoga didn't last long but I did … Continue reading Continuing The Journey Of A Healthier Life
The Kindness Of Strangers
Ever since my mom died, I have been drawn to all things yellow. You see, my mom loved the color yellow. She didn't wear it much but she liked it around her. My childhood bedroom walls, trinkets, flowers, soap containers; all yellow. So now I'm drawn to yellow because it's a way to connect to … Continue reading The Kindness Of Strangers
