After a year of isolation in 2020, this year was filled with so many adventures for our family. We spent a lot of time outside especially at the splash pad. It was the first year where I felt comfortable taking the kids places with a little bit of help, and sometimes by myself. 2021 saw […]

One year ago my kids came home from school for Spring Break and never went back. The world shut down and we had to stay inside for three months. Our lives turned a complete 180. Our family thrives on routine, so when that was taken away it got hard. We had to do therapy over […]

I made a list once of all the great qualities and traits the perfect boyfriend would have. As a middle schooler the most important thing to me was personality. I loved to laugh so he needed to be funny. The list also included blonde hair, green or blue eyes, tall, good looking, nice, romantic, outgoing […]
