Life Happens- Why I'm Not Apologizing In case you didn’t notice, I haven’t been on the blog as much lately. I took a week off due to an overwhelming work load with my full-time job, and then an Emergency Room visit with our youngest son paired with a sick puppy having to be rushed to the Vet early last week led to yet another missed blog post on Wednesday. (Both are fine, by the way) But you know what? It’s okay. Yes, I’ll say it again- it’s OKAY. The world didn’t suddenly stop spinning because ... View the Post
Let It Go- My New Life Motto
Last Thursday, October 13th was my ten year “dateiversary” with my husband. First off, I’m pretty shocked that ten years have already went by since we’ve been a part of each other’s lives. (Does that mean we’re getting old?) Second, it really got me thinking about all of the things I’ve learned throughout our marriage and relationship. More specifically, I thought about all of the ways we manage to bring out the good in one another, but also how my husband has succeeded in being the one person ... View the Post
Make the Time to Live Your Life
Does anyone else out there feel like sometimes you’re so busy being busy and keeping up with the daily grind, that you never truly get to experience what makes you happy in life?

How many times have you found yourself saying “I’ll do that next week”, but by the time the next week rolls around it’s completely forgotten about. Look I get it, we all have jobs and responsibilities and ... View the Post
Perfectionism is Overrated
Today I want to ask you a question that has been on my mind for a long time. When did we as a society start thinking that everything in this life needs to be perfect? When did we start believing that everything we say, do, and feel must be perfect? Instead of simply doing the best we can or trying our hardest at something and giving it our best efforts, somewhere along the way we have set the bar so high for ourselves where we honestly believe it all has to be done perfect, and if it is not ...

Things Inspiring Me Lately
Hey Everyone! How's it going? Life for me lately has been a non-stop roller coaster ride where I keep thinking the ride is almost over, but then the ride operator comes over the intercom and says "do-over"! And I don't even like roller coasters, ya'll. The dynamics at my workplace have definitely changed as my supervisor resigned and as his side-kick, I've been left picking up a good portion of the slack for a few weeks now. To say it's been rough would be an understatement, but thankfully ... View the Post
Keep Moving Forward
**photo credit I stumbled across this quote by Albert Einstein the other day and after reading it, I stopped and thought to myself “Wow, isn’t that the truth?” Life moves by so quickly, but there are always those moments we reach where life just sort of stops at a standstill. Things are moving along just fine, and then all of the sudden we get hit with a giant road block that makes us stop straight in our tracks. Sometimes we get stuck at a standstill for a couple of weeks, sometimes for a ... View the Post
