I've only been a SAHM for a little over a year. It has been a journey worth travelling because I've learned so many things about myself as a person, a mother, and even a wife. I learned that I was chasing a lot of dreams seeking fulfillment before; and all along I had all the... Continue Reading →
I am not a winter person AT ALL. Not even a little bit. I grew up in the north, Connecticut to be specific. When I turned 18 I migrated only 3.5 hours to Philadelphia. Winter always sucks in the North. When my husband and I decided to move to Georgia I was SUPER excited because... Continue Reading →
This blog is dedicated to the most awesome fashionista I know; my daughter Ashiyra Monet. If there's one person in my household who is certain of her fashion choices and wears them with confidence it is totally her.

For a long time I was never really into fashion. I let the duties of motherhood and the anxieties of life prevent me from investing in my physical attributes. I've never been big on makeup or false lashes etc. I'm pretty bland when I get down to the nitty-gritty of it. Lol That being said,... Continue Reading →

I'd seen it on a blog somewhere and immediately thought "O that looks fun." But as I googled puffy paint I kept coming across all these... Continue Reading →
DIY Friday is back! So it's been awhile since I've posted a DIY item. I know, I know; I am slacking. So, to make up for my lack of staying on task, over the next few days I will be sharing a few crafts I've done with the children over vacation. Today's craft is making... Continue Reading →
Just one of those days. I know, I know the title is super clichéd; but sometimes parenting feels like one big ol' ironic cliché. Quick recap of my day goes a little something like this: I started babysitting my 4-year-old niece recently. She's too young to start school but has this ravenous desire to learn....

I'm pushing 30 years old so it would seem I should know all there is to know about puberty. On a physiological level I totally do, on an emotional and psychological level I totally don't. Being that my daughter arrived at puberty two years earlier than I did and puberty was like, eons ago for... Continue Reading →
