I remember the day I met my oldest son very clearly. I’m sure most moms do remember those days. I wasn’t blessed to have him traditionally, but I am beyond blessed that the universe saw to it that we found each other anyway. I was 18 and had just moved in with my boyfriend. A […]
Ramblings
Self-Care
I used to feel guilty when I treated myself to special things, like cute socks, clothes, shoes, a night out, or whatever. Especially when it cost money and I knew I had the responsibility of providing for my children. As I matured, did some self-work, and started really thinking about life from different perspectives, I […]
Happiness or Monogamy? (Part 1)
I recently decided I wanted to work towards being in a committed, monogamous relationship. I even thought I had a likely candidate. I thought I had been doing enough work on me that I would make a good partner, and that this particular gentleman had enough of the qualities I think I desire that we […]

Mental Health
Mental health as a topic of conversation isn’t as taboo as it once was, thankfully. Every single adult has felt a range of emotions and experienced a plethora of thoughts that aren’t always rainbows, unicorns, and butterflies. We go through things. We feel. Deeply. The happiest people have felt the saddest. There are always two […]
Shenanigans
Anyone with kids knows they keep you on your toes. Especially when you have more than one and get to experience the parental side of sibling rivalry. My boys are 21 months apart and could go from best friends to sworn enemies and back around in under a minute. It was always an adventure with […]
