Finding Life beyond the struggles
Welcome to April's First Friday Fitness! It's been a full three months of working out and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself. I've kept it consistent and while I'm not seeing a dramatic change, I am seeing change. I'm feeling it, too. So today is all about going over the last three... Continue Reading →
For everyone who's felt overwhelmed, unfulfilled, like they're running behind, racing to catch up, drained, like they need a break, just plain tired... Me too. But this is just a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, a bad year. A bad season. A hard season. I don't know when and I don't know... Continue Reading →
Listen up, guys. Or rather, read this since I'm writing not talking. As most of you know, I am a stay at home mom, a SAHM, and I love it. There are so many good things that come with it. I get to be there for my kids, I can pretty much set my own... Continue Reading →
According to the list I kept last year, I read around 109 books with four of them being DNF. Honestly, that's a few less than the year before, but I did read some of those books multiple times.

I have to admit to you all, I'm pretty sure this is the longest consistent streak I have had since 2018. I am really proud of... Continue Reading →
With Summer in full swing, the pressure to be "bikini ready" is at a max. Gone are the winter layers that so easily hide our flaws. We look in the mirror or at a picture and we start to think of all the things we'd change about ourselves. What if we look and see the... Continue Reading →
Bondi Sands Pure is the newest line from the well loved company from Australia. I have watched a lot of tutorials and reviews for the Pure Self Tan Water and Pure Tanning Face Mist, but have found little on the Gradual Tanner. Since I prefer gradual tanners, I took a chance and purchased the Bondi... Continue Reading →
"I wish my hair looked like Merida's," I told my BFF, and I wasn't just talking about the color. Every time I watch Brave, I get curl envy. This simple sentence had me contemplating my hair more so than before. A few nights later I messaged another friend of mine asking what products she was... Continue Reading →
