365 Days. I made it through this sobriety thing for a whole year, y’all. How, you ask? I did it scared. I did it sad. Lonely and with support. Slowly and all at once. I did it SO FREAKING HAPPY for so many days. It was a rollercoaster, but I actually did it and I’m…
Dear Mama(s)
Being a Mom is amazing. Life changing. Pure and unconditional love unlike any other kind you’ve experienced. But let’s be real. It’s also exhausting, stressful, overwhelming, overstimulating, thankless, and just really, really, really hard. Sometimes we don’t eat when we are supposed to. Or we eat quick and easy stuff that isn’t healthy or giving…
Keepin’ It 100
Hey world. It’s been a minute, but I wanted to come here to officially document that I’ve reached 100 days on this alcohol-free journey I’m on and I’m pretty damn proud of that. I haven’t really been that vocal about this decision up to this point. Only a few people know I’m not drinking anymore…
A Love Letter for Bickey
I’m not usually one for emotions but the last couple of days have been pretty tough. I have plenty of thoughts but as it goes, I’d rather express them in written words than verbal ones so here we are. When someone you look up to so much is faced with serious health issues, it hits…
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.. kinda.
It’s almost 5am on Christmas morning and I have been up since about 3am. Pregnancy insomnia is a real joy. Even though I can’t sleep and I’m just continuously thinking about all the things I need to do in a couple hours to make the day perfect for my kids, (Moms are superheroes) I can’t…
Sincerely, The Angry White Chick
I figured I could just keep sharing and posting my views through other people’s words or I could go ahead and write my own. So here I go. A lot is happening right now. I’m a mom to a 4-year-old and a 3-month-old trying to figure out how to balance that, for starters. There’s that and then in the…
Becoming Mama- Round 2
Today I’m officially a month away from having my second baby boy and somehow I feel pretty calm. I’m not one to be overly anxious or be on the edge about things. This is all happening regardless – my life is about to change and so I’d rather just accept the newness coming my way…
Kid Snacks are LIFE
Hey guys, it’s been a while. I love writing but I just don’t do it often enough. My good friend and I were recently chatting and trying to encourage each other to let go of the fear we have to take the next steps with certain things we want to achieve. It was a very…
Prayers
I wouldn’t really consider myself religious by any means but I do pray often. Pretty much every night. It feels good to talk to someone about what I’m grateful for, what I need to work on, ask for extra strength for those who may currently need it and usually say “hey” to those I’ve lost…
2018- Goals & Honey Mustard
So, it’s a new year and the same old me. Before 2018 arrived, I looked over my running “goals” list in my phone and decided that I never accomplish any of the things on it (at least not at the same time) so maybe I should take a different approach. I decided instead of trying…
05.25.95
May 25th 1995 is a day that forever changed the course of my life. It was on this day that my Dad left this Earth and left behind countless friends and family members. This list unfortunately included my Mom, sister and myself and from that day on, none of us have ever been the same….
Three Decades Down
Today is the day I officially say goodbye to my 20’s. In a way it feels like I’ve lived an entire lifetime already and in another, it feels like it’s all gone by so fast that there has to be so much more in store for me. I have learned a few key things in…
Lyric & A Whole Lotta Love
