Dear Beautifully Mediocre Body,
Dear Beautifully Mediocre Body, I need to start off by saying, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being such a hater lately, I’m just in one of those slumps. One of those slumps where I just don’t feel comfortable in you, in my own skin. I’ve gained back a majority of the weight we lost for the wedding and am just feeling very meh. It’s not your fault though. You don’t…

Please read my Disclaimer for more info:) I’m sure you’ve seen the Melissa and Doug section at your local Walmart or Target, always filled with adorable wooden toys, making you feel all nostalgic.

Happy birthday Hubby<3 My thoughts about continuing to grow as a couple.
If you know us well, you know I am actually older than Nick, and even though the age gap is only 10 months, I never let him forget it;) I take every opportunity I can to remind him, I was an 80s baby, while he is just a youngster born in the 90s.

I’m hoping everyone with a baby sister of their own can relate to…

Going back to stay at home mama is so bittersweet.
Well guys, I did it. After many late night conversations, lots of time spent calculating childcare costs vs take home pay, and even some tears, hubby and I have decided the best decision for us right now is for me to stop working. So I did it, I quit my job. And as my last shift creeps up on me, its surprisingly stirring up more emotions that I thought it…
Banana Bread With Frozen Bananas
This post contains affiliate links. Please read my Disclaimer for more info:) If you’re anything like me, you always buy too many bananas. Like why am I such a bad judge of my family’s banana consumption on a weekly basis? It never fails that at least one or two will turn brown over night and then, god forbid, I try to feed them to anyone. Myself, I don’t mind them a little…
