Parenting Has No Manual

Here we go again...

There’s been a severe delay in my writing. I haven’t touched this blog in a year or so, and I am finally at a place in my life where my stress levels are normal, and I’m not struggling being a mom, working full time, and trying to work on my book. There have been a few life changing events in my life since I last wrote, so here goes! Firstly, we bought a house! The house is next door to my…

Toxic Positivity: What Are We Up Against?

Toxic Positivity. Everywhere you turn, there is another vlogger boasting about their glamorous life on social media, showing off her pristine kitchen as she neatly organizes her fridge with plastic containers, cricket labels, with perfectly done hair and makeup. “Look at my life. I am happy. I have everything. I am perfect.” That is the message that comes across to their audiences with their…

Parenting Equally

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my page. I wanted to talk today about the importance of equal parenting. When I say equal parenting, I am referring to the ability to equally disperse the parenting duties between two parents. I was a singled mother for a long time, about 6 years before my fiancé and I finally were able to find an apartment together. Before then, I was doing everything on my own,…

Mental Reflection

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I wanted to talk about the way that we view ourselves and our mental reflections. This thought was brought on by a friend of mine buying new clothes. Silly, I know, considering people buy new clothes everyday. But she had bought clothes that she believed were going to be a size smaller than she is, for motivation and preparation for when she loses…

Hello and welcome back!

Hello and welcome back to my crazy life!!!

Good evening my little night owls! I am back! I fell off the face of the earth for a long time as I turned into myself and worked on my inner peace and happiness. I focused solely on myself and my family for a while as I got back on track and on the path that I wanted to be. I started going to the gym with a friend 3 times a week. This has really helped me focus on my health and fitness. I…

Where to start?

I’m about to get real with you. I have been struggling and battling my emotions and my tendency to procrastinate until I run out of time to do it. Working on yourself is hard and I really want to give up right now. Dieting has come so easily to me. I have been able to make those choices to eat better, healthier and I feel good because of it. I am less sluggish, my gut health has significantly…

Staying Positive

Positivity is an important part of a healthy mindset. It can change the way that you look at the world, and the way that you look at yourself. I have been trying to get myself back to my original mindset, where I was positive, happy, outgoing and enjoyed my life no matter what the universe threw at me. This past year has been rough for me, mentally, physically and spiritually. Between work,…

Sometimes I Just Don't Know

Have you ever had a day from hell where you just broke down and started to cry for no reason? And your kids look at you like you are crazy and think you need to get a grip on yourself? Today was that day. And the sad thing is, my kids were at school except for the tiny one year old that is sick and clingy and wants nothing more than to be held all the time. I am not trying to complain.…

Feeling Overwhelmed

There are sometimes when I feel like the whole world is falling apart on my shoulders. Sometimes, nothing I have planned for the day goes right. Sometimes there are things that happen out of my control, but I feel like it’s all my fault. And sometimes my kids are the ones that pay for these things for that happen because I can’t control my outbursts when I am feeling over stimulated. And…

Parenting is Hard

I have heard people making comments about me having more power than them because they just couldn’t take care of more than one child. I have heard a lot of people lately telling me that I must have a wonderful helper at home because I have three kids that are well behaved. I have taken these statements as compliments, except those people don’t know that I was a single mother for four years with…

Things Have Been Rough

Has anyone been feeling that lately? Rough is an understatement. With everything that has happened, publishing my book and getting my name out there, you would think that things would be looking up! But no, of course not, because nothing ever goes as planned, and even though that is okay and I expect such luck, sometimes I wish things would just stay good for longer than a day. The kids have…

Dreams Come True

I cannot express my excitement. I finally published my book! I am so excited that I can barely stand it! It has become such a hassel trying to figure out where to go, who to publish with, what platforms to put it in, ect. But, I finally decided on self-publishing through amazon, and I think it is a perfect way to be able to get my book out there without having to worry about someone else trying…

Sometimes you can't win

Sometimes you can’t win

Doesn’t it feel like you can’t win sometimes? Whether that be an argument, what you are having for dinner, whether the day is going smoothly or not, I could go on. But there are those days where everything just seems to come at once, breaking you down until you are begging on your knees to stop. I haven’t had one of those days for a long time, so I knew it was coming. You can’t be too happy for…

Having a moment

Have you ever just lost where your life was going in a single moment? It feels like I was going on the right track, giving myself the benefit of the doubt, giving myself the courage and the motivation to be better and to do something with my life. I’ve fallen behind and I’m not a fan of that. These are the moments when you have to look at yourself and think about the things that are most…

Feeling Fussy

I believe the old saying “The customer is always right” to an extent. Sure. You had a horrible stay, everything went wrong, your electric went out or you didn’t have any water. Allow me to help out your mind at ease. Let me help you make your stay better. My extent is when customers turn every possible thing that went wrong into a personal vendetta against the first person they see in the office:…

The Little Things

Things have been difficult for me lately. Not everyone knows some of the turmoil going on inside of me, and I am very good at hiding that from everyone, including myself. But my kids, who are special humans in themselves, seem to understand and know more than meets the eye. They know that there is something wrong, even if I don’t say it. They know that I am feeling down, just by looking at me,…

I'm Going Insane

I’m Going Insane

I feel like I am losing my mind. I have had five hours of sleep within the last two days, and everything is trying my patience. Between work, my personal relationships, and my children, I am about to lose my shit. I feel like everything is happening all at once, but isn’t that normal in life? My children keep pushing every button they can find and then some. I cannot get them to just settle…
