Last night was one of those just wow moments where I stop and think, oh my gosh, what is this? This is life. This is us, but in a really crazy funny way. This is my life now. I was thinking back to when it was just my husband and I, the pre-kids days. Do… Continue reading When some moments in life seem straight out of a sitcom
You could say I’m a little obsessed with positive/uplifting quotes. Much of what I put on my Instagram page are pictures of my family and of course quotes. And since I love reading positive and uplifting messages I therefore think there are probably other people out there like me that love them too.

I love reading and sharing positive quotes. They remind me to see the blessing in every day life and to be appreciative.

If you’re looking for that piece that’s going to have an uplifting ending, this isn’t it.
