For much of last month, my stress/anxiety was incredibly high. So high that I think my body decided to take it out on me by saying “enough!” One of the ways my body sent up red flags was with my eyes. I’m not entirely sure if it was my poor habit of rarely cleaning my…

Spring Bucket List
The other day I was attempting (read: struggling) to come up with blog topics, when I suddenly remembered sharing my fall and holiday bucket lists with you all. Oh, hey, it’s a new season! I may have missed the official welcoming of spring a couple weeks back, but since some of you guys are still…
How to Manage Blogging While Working Full-Time
When I first signed up for a WordPress account, I had no idea how much I’d love blogging. I mean I’ve always loved to write, but now that I’m taking some risks, tackling different topics, and participating in the blogging community, I realize that blogging has become an important part of my life. This will…
Thoughts On Being a Working Mom
Can I tell you guys a secret (promise you won’t judge)? Going back to work after the birth of my son wasn’t as scary and heart-breaking as I’d imagined it would be. I must be a monster. 😉 Of course I have emotional days and have dealt with my fair share of challenges, but when…
My Healthy Living ABCs
Funny story. Last month we purchased a magnetic phonics set for Bazooka. He’s obviously too young to be reciting his ABCs, but we thought it was a neat toy after seeing it at our friends’ house. Anyway, every time this child stops to look at or play with the magnets, he will, without fail, grab…
Mom Lies I Tell Myself: Volume 2
Motherhood continues to be an adventure—especially since I have a rambunctious toddler on my hands now. A few months back, I shared some of the “mom lies” I tell myself, and today I thought it would be fun to revisit that idea. Nope—there’s no way my child is saying “ass” We’re going to have to…
Building Kindness
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Before I dive into today’s post, I want to let you know that today I am guest-posting on (a different) Amanda’s blog, Unapologetically You, and sharing a *healthy* green beverage for getting into the spirit. Be sure to check it out here! I have no intention of ever discussing political beliefs…
Currently // March 2016
How was your weekend? I’d intended to have this published yesterday but didn’t sit down at the computer again. Sunday was beautiful, but Friday and Saturday were CRUMMY with all the rain. We spent a good part of Saturday indoors, but we did manage to grab some Chipotle for lunch (Bazooka ate quite a bit…
Leprechaun Bait
So, my hometown is kind of infamous. For a leprechaun. Yep, you read that right. Many years ago, an actual news station aired a video of a local man, probably high, who claimed to have seen a leprechaun hiding in a tree. The segment went viral on YouTube and it was even featured on Tosh.0….
The Power of a Single Comment
I probably don’t need to tell you this, but words are powerful. Depending on the tone in which they are said—they have the power to make us feel threatened, empowered, angry, appreciated, or any other number of things. I’m one of those people who often falls prey to words. When angry or upset, I’m quick…
