When the weekend comes, I usually spend time cleaning our home, doing laundry, and trying to catch up on some much needed rest. Not this weekend! This weekend was all about family fun! In our town, the annual NC Azalea Festival was taking place and it's always fun to attend. We didn't do the Saturday … Continue reading Family Time Fun
I've made a conscious decision that this year is going to be a better year for me. In order for that to happen, I've got to work on me. Every year I say I'm going to eat better and lose weight, but I never do it. This year is different though. Why? Because of mental … Continue reading Working on Me
One of the hardest things for me as a mom is to listen to my kids argue. Talk about hurt you to the core. I don't want the people I've carried inside me to not get along.

At the end of 2017 I wrote out my 2018 personal goals. These were the top 10 things I wanted to achieve this year.

As it nears Valentine's Day this coming Wednesday, I ask the question, "What is Love?" To me, love is that moment when I'm told I'm pregnant and expecting my first child.
