I have been working on posts for months now, but honestly, everything has been so hectic that it wasn't until I hopped into bed a few hours ago where everything finally just hit me all at once and I broke down completely. This is not to say that I have not been heart-broken or haven't … Continue reading You will ruin his life…
For your second birthday…
Happy birthday to my baby girl. I love you so much more than you could know, and each day I hope you are growing stronger, smiling as much as possible, and that you are surrounded by love and happiness. As I started writing this, re-writing this, followed by deleting it all, I just sat and … Continue reading For your second birthday…
Out of the ditch
Every bruise, every scar, every stretchmark, every part of my body is a story of how much I have overcome and proof that I am strong, resilient, and moving forward.

I was recently asked in an interview what I am afraid of and it is basically everything. I am afraid of grasshoppers and other bugs that can jump and land in my hair. I hate them, they make me want to puke, and I will cry if they get stuck in my hair. Failing. My … Continue reading Well, I am scared…
A post for Audrey
I adore Audrey Hepburn, and I just want to dedicate one post to her. She has inspired me at different times in my life, and sometimes her quotes are just what I need to turn my day or week around. Hopefully some of the words can brighten your day or be just what you needed … Continue reading A post for Audrey
My Twenty First
WOOHOO! 21! YEAH! My 21st birthday was on mother's day, so I always knew I was going to spend it with her doing something. We are extreme couponers in my house, and we actually managed to basically get a night free at a casino nearby, as well as get $40 in free play each. We … Continue reading My Twenty First
