  • Reflections on A Decade: A Word to Graduates

      Today marks ten years since I graduated from high school. Ironically I will be spending today at my first high school graduation as a teacher. I think that just makes my memories all the more profound. I can still remember that feeling right before I walked into my ceremony. I actually cried. I know my…

  • Grocery Pickup and Delivery Reviews Part 2

    This is my second post reviewing a couple of companies that I have used for grocery pickup and delivery. I have been writing about them in the order that I used them. Ironically, after my post about ShopRite I started receiving emails saying “we miss you” and such. It was almost as if they knew…

  • Grocery Pickup and Delivery Reviews Part 1

    When I found out I was pregnant with the twins Baby Girl was a year old. I realized that grocery shopping while pregnant and with a toddler would be extremely challenging. It was at this time that I started looking into other options for grocery shopping. During my pregnancy, I mostly used Harris Teeter’s grocery…

  • Working Mom Pregnancy Tips

    During both of my pregnancies I was teaching full-time. If you know anything about teaching, it is not a profession that goes well with pregnancy. You can’t use the bathroom whenever you want and most of your time is spent on your feet. That’s not to mention the amount of time spent going up and…

  • Dealing With Envy

      It is really easy, when things aren’t going your way to look at others and begin to envy them. How easy we forget how blessed we are when faced with a temporary struggle. Envy is something I’ve always struggled with. I remember a time back when I was a little girl and my mom…

  • A Tribute to My Husband After the Birth of Our Daughters

    I stood at the kitchen sink last night washing dishes and realized that I could not remember the last time I had done dishes. For the past 3 or more months my husband has taken care of that. I might wash a dish or two here or there  and I was okay with loading the…

  • Pregnancy: Singleton vs. Twins

      As 2017 comes to a close I figured I should finish it out with one of my biggest accomplishments this year, which was starting this blog. As you know I am still pregnant with twins, but I am on the final countdown. One of the questions that I get the most is how is this…

  • Find Your Calling and Do It!

    Everybody has a calling whether they realize it or not. A calling can vary from a simple idea or field that you feel a strong desire to work with to more specific to the point that people have built business around their callings. This though hit me as I read a post on social media…

  • September Update – Make Time For Mama

    I am now three weeks into the new school year and 15 weeks pregnant with twins. To say September has been interesting would be an understatement to say the least. I have been planning this post now for several days/weeks. I am finally forcing myself to sit down and write it. I find it funny…

  • Reflections on Summer 2017: Learning To Trust

    I know I have done an awful job writing this summer. I thought since I have more time that I would get more writing done and not less. It’s actually the opposite. I work well with structure. My summer was completely unstructured so it was hard to make myself sit down and write. Also, being…
