Thoughts of Cardigan

Welcome to my mind. This is where I come to talk about anything that interests me as a being.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this girl?

You are sweet.

You are kind.

You are sassy.

You are helpful.

You are… everything.

I started making vinyl decals for fun and this may just be my favorite one so far.

As we lay here soaking in the cuddles, I can’t help but realize I’m going to miss this one day and that this will be the last time that I have a little baby to snuggle of my own. I am going to miss the days that you are completely dependent on me. I am going to miss your kisses and the sweet little sounds you make when you’re excited. You have such a beautiful smile! I’m so glad I’m your mama. Please stay little for as long as you can. My heart can’t take take watching you grow up right infront of my eyes😢❤️

Anxiety is a bitch. Stress is a bitch.

From the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep, I am anxious and stressed out.

I am full of rage. A rage that I’ve never been able to overcome.

I have started taking my rage out on those whom I love.

That isn’t me. This anxiety, stress, and rage are not me.

I am not my anxiety, stress, and rage.

Hey y’all I’m Carrigan. I’m 25 from a smalltown in Indiana. I have two children. One boy who was born in October of 2016 and little girl who was born in May of 2020. My husband and I married in September of 2016. I work more than full time (50+ hours a week) in public safety and my husband is a full time mechanic.

When I was about 12 my family moved away from my small town(around 8,000 people) to a larger city (roughly 80,000 people) about 30 miles northwest of there where I met my husband and countless other friends. We have decided that city life is completely not for us and want to move back to my smalltown so that our kids can grow up to experience the community I once did as a child.

That being said, we bought my absolute dream house. Once it’s finished (yes, it’s in rough shape right now) it is going to be the entire families dream house. The house is a 120 year old historical style home and has been through a lot in its time. We will be doing a full home renovation on it and I am so excited. As we make progress, I will start sharing with you guys what we have done!

Here is a picture of my favorite area of the house...

I’m so excited to decorate this staircase at Christmas time!

I can’t wait to share with you guys the masterpiece that we are working on!
