I woke up early this morning, like all mornings, but this morning I was really hoping to sleep in. You know how that goes, right? The mornings you could sleep in if you wanted to your wide awake at 5:00 am. But, this morning as I laid in bed debating on whether or not to [...]
So, today as I was meandering through a close friend's blog, Life, Books, and Chocolate Cake. I stumbled across her post about the 2018 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge. How have I never heard of this? A reading challenge? For real? Can someone say New Year's Resolution! I love a good book. Give me a warm cup of coffee, [...]
Y'all I finished debut author, Larissa Weatherall's, book When It Was Us. I finished it over the last weekend, but I still am suffering from serious book hangover. I have to start by saying that I was blessed to grow up with Larissa. Her step-grandmother married by grandfather when I was a toddler so, it's safe [...]
Ground Breaking! In January, we started the process of building our forever home. Now, 11 months later we have our walls exterior walls, our roof, door, and windows installed! We've taken a break the past month to work on digging our water lines, sewer lines, and electric lines, but we're almost finished with that and [...]
Life is full of trials. Each of our trials is different. Each of our struggles is different. And, how we respond to those trials and struggles is also different. My senior year of high school, I lost my high school sweetheart in a car accident. That was not a trial where I came out on [...]
Dear Santa, Do you remember me? I used to mail you letters to the North Pole each Christmas. My list was full of things like stuffed animals, baby dolls, books, and more. Well, it's been many, many years since I've written to you, but you see I still have a Christmas wish. This year my Christmas list [...]

Travis has been digging our water lines, electric lines, and septic lines. He’s framed some more walls and we now have our windows and doors in! He’s been busy!!! Our fur baby, [...]
My two week wait ended Saturday. Not with a positive pregnancy test, but with the unwelcome, dreaded Day 1. Two weeks exactly from my third IUI, I woke up knowing there wasn’t even a need to waste my time with a test. My body failed me, again. You see, infertility sucks. It leaves you with [...]
As I sit here today, the day before Thanksgiving, I’m watching my sweet hubs dig the ditch for what will be our water line. He’s outside working in the cold and I’m all snuggled up and warm in his truck with the fur baby, who is snoring rather loudly! Looking back over the past year, [...]
On the way to work this morning, I hydroplaned. We’ve all done it at some point, right? But, this morning when it happened my heart stopped. I didn’t see the standing water. It was dark, you know the kind of dark that comes with being on the road at 6:30 in the morning in the [...]
