What’s better than reading a good book on the beach, at the pool, or at the lake? Just kidding! You’re a parent. You can’t do that! When you’re a parent if you find time to actually read a book… it better be worth it. Better yet, follow Jessica’s advice and listen to an audiobook! Either…
Psycho. Crazy. Stupid. Lazy. The list goes on and on when we begin to point fingers at people. As adults, some of us know there might be more to one’s story then what meets the eye. Why don’t kids? Why is having ADHD or depression a secret? Why is seeking treatment for something your suffering…

I was introduced to the deals the Dollar Store has when I was wedding planning (see detail shots here). I had all of these ideas for gorgeous table decor, but when adding up how much the vases, candles, frames, and everything else that goes into a wedding cost, I immediately began a search for how…

If you’re…

I’m pretty sure I keep Amazon in business on my self-help book purchases alone. There’s…
Awhile back, I wrote a piece about expectations matching up to reality. You might recall my example of my husband expecting dinner ready each night by a certain time and our timelines not quite matching up {like at all}. Then, a few weeks after I wrote that post, my brother-in-law was talking about a book,…
I’m a huge fan of the Bachelor franchise. I’ve watched it since Trista and Ryan for goodness sake. But, I’m going to call a spade a spade here and point out that the intentions of these dudes are no longer genuine. Nick Viall has admitted to doing the show because he wanted to become an…
The holidays are a time filled with joy, laughter, and family. They’re also super stressful, hectic, and there’s lots of build up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, then it just fizzles out, but you’re left picking up the pieces {or cleaning up the mess} the week after. I recently saw Bad Moms Christmas with…
