Today was pretty jam packed with fun and enexpexted activities. Well, at least unexpected to me based on what I originally thought we would be doing on a Friday. First I was hungry for a workout. So at 6:30am after feeding Elysse, I headed out the door with my workout gear and headphones on.… Continue reading Family time
This past weekend my brother, sis in law, niece and nephew visited us from Arizona. The last time we saw them was when I was 4 months pregnant so it was extra special to see them and for them to meet Elysse in person.

Then once I get some food in me… Continue reading The popcorn is popping
I wasn’t sure what to do with the song “Human” by Christina Perri when I first heard it. I had been having a particularly difficult day where I felt sad and unappreciated and just tired. I knew I wanted to share it on here, but I was unsure whether I would write any of my own thoughts to go… Continue reading I’m only human

Plus I just can’t seem to find a comfortable position – this of course has much to do with the fact that I’m now 7 months pregnant. I know, it’s bad that it’s taken me until now to share this… Continue reading Traveling Alone
My husband and I couldn’t be more different when it comes to birthday celebrations, particularly our own. I love celebrating birthdays. Cards, gifts, cake, pictures…the works.
