My hubby and his buddy made these shelves for our living room. I am in love! I love the personality they have and how I can change things out on them as I get bored. Yay!

Tried to slow down and take a few minutes to soak in the last day of this year. 2018, like most years, was eventful. I had moments of overwhelming gratitude for this life I live and others where I found myself discouraged and defeated. I made some really great memories with my kids, but other […]

I’m not going to lie… I am really discouraged. It was one of those days I couldn’t quite see the light at the end of the tunnel.. 😭 which for me is pretty bad because I’m usually the “upside” kinda girl. I committed to doing this “what are you grateful for today” thing every day in November […]
