As I woke up this morning, I remembered it is Memorial Day. We don’t cookout or go to parades. We sit and think. Think about who’ve we lost and gained. When I say that, it’s soliders who put their lives on the line for us to enjoy these holidays how ever we choose. Their are…

Why Mother’s Day is different for me………
Happy Mother’s Day to all mommy’s out there! No matter what stage of it you are at, your always a mommy. I always took a different approach to how today is. If you guys haven’t seen some of my post, I’m not for the glamour and glitz of the holiday. I love homemade stuff, and…
Being Supportive VS. Being Disrespected
I’m all for support and optimism on this blog and the page. We encourage it and even take calculated risks. That’s life people. You got to live it! What I won’t do is be ran over or too nice. This week I was asked to join a page to promote support of Motherhood. First, it…
Common core can go to hell, overhaul it all!
This post came to me last night as I was talking to a family friend, and her daughter is going to be enrolled into kindergarten next year. We talked about the options she had between charter schools, homeschooled, the lottery system, or just enrolling into the nearest school. One of the things I miss about…
My vacation and happiness epiphany.
Lovely peeps. I’m up dragging ass, but excited! Tomorrow afternoon, the crew and I will be back on California soil. It’s been so long, and memories, both good and bad are coming back. It’s weird. I miss it, but then I don’t miss it. Great, good, bad, and even ugly things have happened since, but…
This big gal said ‘on my own terms’.
One thing I came to conclusion on was a goal I have of exercising. I’m not 21 anymore, and honestly, I’m ok with that. Yet again, I’m not 80 either. What I did honestly think about was who was I losing the tire for(what I call the stomach fat)? Why am I rushing the process?…
Looking Back, and saying Cheers!
It has been officially a year. I know I have been harping on that for some weeks now, but it means a lot. I never saw myself as a writer, in the sense of making it career. I wrote for fun and to take my mind off of things. Never realizing how many people enjoy…
The New Fight Begins, are you with me?
As I have been grapping with my sinuses acting crazy, and knees being mean to the moving my furniture around, I’ve also been paying attention to my school district changes. Now, I rarely talk politics on my blog, or religion, but education isn’t off limits. With that said, politics intertwine itself into this discussion in…
My open letter PSA
I want to get serious for a moment. I haven’t read what exactly was said about Kelly Clarkson, or what she said, but I saw the headline “She responds the fat shaming comments”. Why are we fat shaming? I mean seriously, no person has to the right to down anyone else, myself included. Since I…
Being Ok to Not Having More Kids.
As I look around to friends and family announcing new babies, or bring home new bundles of joy, in the first time in my life, my ovaries aren’t razy about it. It’s a silence. Had you asked me two years ago, I wanted more kids. There is a small part of me that sitll does,…
