OK, so I have another migraine fighting tip for you! I am always looking for something that is going to help us fight our migraines around this joint. And during the holidays, it seems we are all more prone to them. It can’t be all the eating and drinking and staying up late?? Ha! Nothing…
We are about to enter the crazy season known as THE HOLIDAYS.I don’t know about you, but I love to make all the things and do all the things but I can sometimes get super overwhelmed. The worst days for me are when I am baking all day, finally clean up the giant…
Have you all seen the disaster that is the lost and found at your kid’s school? Ours is legit overflowing by day two with all the things and by December there are enough items to clothe my kid and 10 others, not to mention the 25 water bottles, all the pairs of prescription glasses, the…
As I watch my sweet almost grown babies, I can see my time with them growing shorter. I have so much left to say, but there are just a few things I think they need to hear as they take those first tentative steps into adulthood. The end of high school is a whole thing…
