Who we become after a life of growing up, getting married and starting a family
It's been a long couple of weeks. I started a new job. Ainsley started daycare. Everything has changed in our house, and it is just exhausting right now. I finally had my big cry about her being in daycare and made it through the first couple of weeks, though it just really hit last night [...]
2020 was a rough one for most of us, it was a year of isolation, fears and hatred. 2020 wasn't any different for me, but I did get one of the biggest blessings in my life and that was my daughter. Although, she hasn't met many people I was able to have so much time [...]

In March, things were starting to get even more real for us, and our baby was going to be here within two months. We had our shower planned for the first week in March, and little did we know this would be the last time we would be around everyone we love for a while. [...]
A lot has changed since I wrote last, I was married in August, became pregnant shortly after. We went to Colorado for Christmas, celebrated New Years at home.

It takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make a lifestyle change. After a long heart to heart with my fiance, we decided it's time for a lifestyle change. Positivity is something that can be challenging, no one wakes up every day so happy they can barely contain themselves. We looked [...]
I've recently been reading, Girl, Wash Your Face, by Rachel Hollis, and it has by far been one of the most eye-opening books I have read.
