Just a stay-at-home mother of four writing about books, parenting, and life in general. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Goodbye July! I can’t believe it’s already August, I swear time is flying by! This July 2024 was relaxing and filled with me achieving my monthly goals. I’m so proud of all I accomplished this month. In this blog post, I’ll be recapping my July 2024 goals, checking in on…
What’s one recipe that screams “Summertime”? For me, it’s slow cooker pulled pork. Anytime I think of pulled pork I think of sitting outside and eating a pulled pork sandwich while drinking some iced tea. It just gives off summer vibes. After a few months of trying to find a…
This is officially my 100th blog post! I’m so proud of myself for all I have accomplished. I feel like I’m really in my groove when it comes to this blog. That said, I have decided to make my 100th blog post about me! I thought I would share the…
I don’t know about you but I’m KILLING it this year! Normally, when I do my halfway-through-the-year goals check-in I’m not feeling too great. But this year is completely different for me. I have been focusing on a good routine that works for me and my kids’ schedules. I’m excited…
