Coffee, Children and Craziness

One thing I really missed after my husband and I had kids was the ability to go on date nights. We do not live close to any family members and I don’t trust very many people to babysit my kids, so the two of us going out for a nice dinner was not super realistic.…

Ah, to be a morning person! To wake up as soon as the sun’s first rays of light hit your face and get that surge of energy as you stretch and yawn. To feel alive with no prompting whatsoever from a cup of pure caffeine and needing an hour and a half just to convince…

You’ve all heard how, we as the younger generation, consistently receive the age old advice to “ Enjoy it while it lasts.” and “ Don’t blink, they will be grown before you know it.” and “ Trust me, you’ll miss these days.” All of these phrases are said with the best intentions and in the…

These cute little water bottles that I found (on sale! 😉) at Walmart…

This week was kind of long. My husband worked five, 12 hour days and then he and my daughter caught colds on Friday morning. Our evenings were crazy busy so we ended up eating out twice and kind of munching on whatever was in the fridge for the most part. Life isn’t always cut and…

October is barely over and the sights and sounds of Christmas are literally everywhere we look. I swear, the stores are putting things out earlier and earlier every year.
