It’s funny how from one instant to the next your emotions and feelings can switch so quickly. This morning started relatively well. By the time both my girls were awake I realized that my oldest was a little bit sour, which is incredibly uncommon. She’s the one that 9 times out of 10 wakes up… Continue reading Feelings are not in control
This Sunday the girls get to perform their competitive team Hip Hop dances at the Parent Show. This is the first time our youngest, Elysse, is on a team and the good thing is the rest of her teammates are in the same boat. None of them have ever competed before and it’s nice they’ll… Continue reading Season of change
A couple weeks ago we decided to complete an application to adopt another bulldog through the same rescue place SoCal Bulldog Rescue where we adopted our boy Biggie. For those of you new to my blog, back in 2009, just six months after my husband and I got married, we rescued our Olde English Bulldog… Continue reading Meet Chops
It’s amazing how your mindset can change in a split second and suddenly you feel renewed with strength and hope. The last couple weeks I’ve been in a bit of a mental slump; even a little depressed/sad. I am missing face to face interaction with friends a lot. Terribly, actually.

My husband’s sister shared this beautiful quote with us in a family group text that we have. It’s message so powerful and the essence of what my husband so fervently believes. What I believe too. Sometimes when I am able to find a quiet moment to take pause, I close my eyes and in my… Continue reading Change the world
Somewhere in the first year Celeste was born I bought myself Timothy Keller’s book The Meaning of Marriage. Four and a half years later I have yet to finish it. I kept going back to it and feeling guilty that I would pick it up and devour page after page that made total sense; only… Continue reading The Meaning of Marriage
For 5 years we have had a crib in our room and it is so odd to see that big empty space now. Odd, but nice. Odd and a little bit nostalgic. Today we moved the crib to the room that now the girls will share. Elysse is a year and one month and we… Continue reading Lights on, children out
As I was walking toward home today after having come back from a work “farewell” get together, I was reminded of all the little things in my life that add up to such amazing blessings. Sometimes it’s so easy to dwell on the mundane day to day things that keep our life busy, and to… Continue reading All the little things that add up to amazing
The last few weeks I have begun to have moments at work where I feel very vulnerable about my job security, and it’s something I have never really felt before at any previous job. My last job before my current employment was working for a small steel construction company. I started to work there at… Continue reading Vulnerable and Humbled
