Social Anxiety

Social Anxiety – The Weekly Bloggers Group: Week 2

I’ve basically been an anxious person my whole life. I don’t know if I got it from my mama, but it’s a possibility. However, I do think that it depends on how your raised, or at least that plays a huge part, in my opinion.

When I was a child, I was so shy. I wouldn’t talk to anyone, smile at anyone, the ultimate Queen of RBF. It’s not that I…

Dear Chelsey

A letter to my younger self – The Bloggers Group – Week 1

Dear Chelsey,

First things first. If you only knew what you know now. Let’s go back to the past for a bit.

You’re 2 years old, and your parents have separated. Trust me when I say it’s going to be okay. Although you won’t remember them separating, you do realize so much more as you get older. Your dad has better things to do at the time.…

Revamped & All Dolled Up

“Keep taking time for yourself until you’re you again.” – Lalah Delia

As a mom, I tend to easily let go of myself. As long as my kids are dressed well, fed, happy, and so much more, then I’m good. I simply tell myself that other people clearly see that I’m a mom and I’m exhausted. It’s so easy to fall into that mindset and routine.

My husband tells me I’m beautiful just the way that I am. Which I…

Slime City - Atlanta

Slime City – Atlanta

(I received this day trip for a review, but all opinions are my own. This is a sponsored post by Nick’s Slime City of Atlanta).

Talk about every 90’s kid’s dream, right? I remember being little watching Nickelodeonand seeing all of those kids who were the same age as me on TV getting slimed. As I watched, I thought, I wish I could be right up there with them getting covered in that green slime!…

Instagram Stories Q & A

Hey y’all! It’s been a minute, so I decided to do something fun with this blog! A couple of weeks ago, I posted to my stories using a question poll where anyone could ask anything anonymously. I had such a great turn out, and I am excited to share these questions and answers with y’all! Let’s get into it!

QUESTION 1: Why are people so petty?

ANSWER: Ya know, I really don’t know. I always wonder…

Where is the love?

No seriously. Where is the love? I’m going to take y’all way back to 2003. I’m not saying the world was in a better place by any means during that time, because let’s be real, it definitely was not. Two years prior, in September of 2001, the world stopped turning when one of the biggest cities in the United States was attacked. Listening to one of The Black Eyed Peas most popular songs, Where is…

Let’s have a baby!

No, I am not pregnant. Let’s get that straight before I get all of the messages and what not. You’re probably here because, well the name of the blog, or to find out why I left y’all hanging from my last blog.

Picking up where I left off…

First Pregnancy

While I feel extremely blessed to be able to have kids in general, I hated being pregnant. I was straight up miserable. I bitched all the time, I stayed nervous a lot, and my anxiety got worse during those long 9 months. So, here’s my story.

My husband proposed to me on October 27th, 2012. We had talked about what we wanted for our future, and we decided that waiting until after we were married…

Behind the Camera

The name says it all, but in all honesty, I don’t even own an actual camera. Yes, you read that right. So many people have asked me questions about what camera I use or if I use one at all. The answer is no. In the near future, hopefully yes. Which by the way, I am picky and want the best but I also don’t want to break the bank when getting one. Any tips on the best cameras would be greatly…

Hooray Heroes

I’m a collector of many things, including books. My “collections” only got bigger after having my little ones. My grandmother kept all the things she could for my mother, her siblings, and her grandkids. My mother did the same, and well – here I am, keeping everything imaginable, or trying too. I have all of their “first” outfits from coming home to holiday outfits, and more. There is just…

Love Yourself

Hey y’all, it’s been a long while since I published a blog for myself/y’all. Most of you know that blogging helps with my anxiety. So, that’s why I’m here now.

Anyways, I plan to try to publish my take on Influencer photography and Vaeh’s birth story some time this week.

First, there’s a lot that I need to just get off of my chest. Things I am ready to share, talk about, let go, etc.

I’m always…

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

So, it’s literally 8:10 PM and I’m waiting on my Food Stirs cookies to get done. This blog was ready, the other day. Somehow got deleted along with another blog post. So here we are again.

Today was NOT a typical day by any means but I’ll cover the basics and how my day went.

So our daughter is in school, which means I have to be up no later than 6:45 AM every week day. This morning I was up by…

Tiny Tags that tell a Story

Gold Bar Necklace

I’ve been contemplating, like I always do, on this blog. So it’s definitely taken me a bit to find the right words to put together to tell this “story”.

I’m sure some of you are already wondering, what are Tiny Tags?

Tiny Tags is a beautiful company dedicated mostly to celebrating children and the journey of motherhood. However, they also dedicate special necklaces in…

What more?

This blog is going to be a bit on the personal side, while also a mystery. Blogging has helped with my anxiety, and also the times when I feel like I need to vent.

What more do you want from me?

& if you think I am referring to my husband, kids, family or friends, think again.

I’ve had this on my mind for quite some time now. As always, contemplation at its finest. What to say? How to word…
