Hi mama! I am so glad you popped by! I have learned to truly LOVE life and everything about it. The happy, the sad, the good and the bad. It's not about what you have or don't have. It's about how you handle the life you are given. I call it living gracefully.

  • The weather was almost kind of nice this morning.... we must have a storm rolling in or something because it can’t be an actual sign of fall! Wishful thinking!!! .
.
And since I’m a crazy lady I already have Christmas on my mind! Got all my lists made out and starting the shopping! In my defense I do have a wee one coming at the beginning of December so I’m trying to get everything done early! Does anyone else start planning this early??

  • Living our best life with our kiddos this weekend....even if we are having to pretend it’s fall when the temps are in the 90s
  • So I’ve been taking a much needed break from all my self imposed obligations the past few weeks.  It has been so liberating. My kids are happier and more well behaved.  My energy level has doubled and my stress level has significantly decreased. .
I’ve given myself time to just be a mom and not felt like I needed to be doing everything else. I’ve given myself time to focus on some things that are just for me. Time to start nesting for this new baby girl that’s coming next month 😮. Time for cuddles, naps, book reading, more snuggles! .
It’s okay to hit pause. It’s okay to hit pause for a season if you need to. I’m not sure how long this season will last for me, but for the time being I’m okay with just focusing on where I am now. What I have now.
  • My decorator... Aka my mother-in-law is in town so all my fall is finally finished!! It’s love! .
