Love & Grace

Please don’t project your perception of perfection on to me, I will not live up to it. I am a human and I make mistakes; sometimes my words come out wrong, sometimes I get emotional and reactive, sometimes I feel lazy, sometimes I can be a hot mess (ok always), sometimes you may see me…

Grandma Lois

“Wait, is your dog named Lois?” This woman we met at the dog park (random right?) came up to our new pup and was so excited. She shared many things with us and we had no idea we would meet her that day. She was kind and bubbly, but lonely and needed someone to talk…

Everyone needs an “About Me”

Everyone needs an "About Me" section in their life. Celebrities and presidents have biographies and so often the "average" person hardly knows themselves. I don't need a biography, but it can be fun to write about yourself. Sometimes writing about yourself for others to see help you understand more about yourself. PLUS, it's so fun…

Soul sparks- a lot like the other blogs

It’s a real thing and all too often we feel so depleted in our souls. We crave that soul spark more than we realize because we are too often caught up in the everyday clutter and storms. Our souls become a storm and stir up so many emotions. I swear I can see and understand…

The Oxytocin List

I recently had a conversation with my masseuse and my husband (not at the same time) and I swear it’s crazy how the world and the stars are so aligned in this world. It seems as though when somebody has an issue or somebody’s going through something that is difficult it’s like the universe brings…

Dear sweet girl, you are SIX

As I write this letter to you, I am giving you all my emotions, all my love, all my feelings and all my heart. I don’t expect you to read this at six years old, nor do I expect you to understand. But I do hope that one day you can read this and feel…

My Underdog

My little underdog is my love story. He's my easy-going, chill temperament, feels like home, calms me down, cuddle bug, non-complainer, into everything, obsessed with cars and all things fire trucks, full of energy loves his "Ani", sleeps on Daddy, loves him mommy, sweet and kind-hearted, could care less if he plays alone, does whatever…

Grace. Just that.

I’m not perfect. I’m not quite sure anyone is or supposed to be for that matter. I’m sure people think they are or strive to be, but I hate that word. We are all human and we have strengths, flaws, interests, talents, things we suck at, etc. But let’s dive a bit deeper. How many…

Breathe it in, run it out

I didn't discover running until after college really. I used to run for cheerleading as we ran through campus cheering our hearts out, but now that I think of it, we were just annoying. I was huffing and puffing, had way bigger boobs, ate Ramen noodles and drank pineapple juice and Malibu frequently. But as…

The Last Time

I feel like I’m reaching a new phase in my life and I’m not sure I like it here. It’s that weird phase where your babies start to turn to big kids, where both kids will be in a school- with kids who might try to steal their innocence and teach them bad things, where…
