I know it's been a while since I've seen this little space of mine, but these last few weeks trapped in my house with my thoughts have really had me thinking, and I needed to get this message out there. Since most states are on lock down, a lot of us have suddenly become stay at home parents. Out of a lot of my closest friends, I was the only one who chose to stay at home. Some chose to go back to work for their own sanity, while others needed the dual-income to make their financial ...
Bone Marrow Brothers: Life Post Transplant
A million thoughts run through my head as I sit down and write for the first time in months. I don’t even know where to start to update you on life lately. I guess I should start with the bone marrow transplant for my brother-in-law since that’s where I left you guys hanging last. I really meant to update y’all a while ago, but you know how it is, life gets crazy. Not to mention, after blogging for years, it was nice to disappear for a while. Sometimes sharing every aspect of your life on ...
Bone Marrow Brothers
So, I've been keeping a pretty big secret. Mainly, because it wasn't my secret to tell. But, with the blessing of the person the secret affects, I'm hoping to be able to share with y'all a huge success story after years of a fight.

As a frequent sinusitis sufferer, he shrugged it off as sinuses, or maybe even strep throat given his symptoms. He had an appointment to see the doctor the very ...
A Different Mother, A Different Perspective.
A few weeks ago, I was a terrible mom. I know that sounds a bit dramatic, but I was. Life was overwhelming, I was exhausted, my patience thin, and I would've given my right arm to have a kid-free vacation. I was done. I didn't plan on writing about this because let's be honest, who wants to tell the world they've been a crappy mom? But, God (That guy. He's always working.) had a plan to change my perspective. My husband had a work conference in Orlando. Spouses were allowed to attend, so ...
Radio Silence
I bet y'all thought I fell off the face of the earth, huh? Well, surprise! I am indeed alive. There are a million and one reasons I've been so quiet on the internet, and it is NOT because I'm pregnant. Let's just go ahead and clear the air on that one. The only way that is happening is if there is too much alcohol and not enough responsible decision making, and let's cross our fingers that doesn't happen. This was probably the most unintentional break I have ever taken. I even had a post ...
