Grilling is My Happiness

sears grilling

The discovery of fire was one of the most monumental events in the history of the world. From before the idea of a kitchen was ever thought of, there was a fire pit. Long before there were any microwave ovens there was the open flame. Mankind has been charring, searing, roasting, and grilling everything imaginable for as long as we can document. I … [Read more...]

How We Learned to Deal with Seasonal Allergies

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Target. The opinions and text are all mine. My husband is a trooper and you will never hear him complain with the constant sneezing, runny nose, dry eyes, etc. that he deals with every single day because of seasonal allergies.

I’ve Learned I’m No Good at Dealing with Stress

The last couple of weeks I've been pretty scarce around the online world and I feel like I've been living a nightmare that I can't wake up from.  You would think that my world had been turned upside down, but it's nothing like that and I feel quite embarrassed at how poorly I've handled my current situation. It all started when we decided to put … [Read more...]

Date Night

I love date nights and adore the time I have with hubby when it's just the two us. No one to interrupt our thoughts, no one that needs a refill in their sippy cup and no one that needs their butt wiped. It's date nights where my husband and I actually get a chance to talk.  A chance to reconnect after a long, stressful week.  A chance to be a … [Read more...]

Home Life With a New Baby

Those first few weeks after coming home with baby seem to be a blur.  Weeks or months in my case of sleepness nights and I felt like I was running on fumes. But just looking at my sweet little bundle of joy all wrapped up cozy and warm, gave me the motivation I needed to keep on going. While my babies aren't really "babies" anymore, when they … [Read more...]

Family Pictures

I'm the world's worst about getting family photos taken.  Don't get me wrong, I'm constantly taking pictures of the children and Ryan, but since I'm the one always taking the pictures, I'm always left out of the photos. However, this year, thanks to my friends over at Nautica, our family pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  With the help of … [Read more...]

Hero

Does being a hero mean you have to have a special superpower or possess a talent or ability that no one else has? No. Not in my eyes. To me, being a hero is someone who always stands up for what is right. Someone who thinks about others before themselves.  Someone who tries to lead by example.  Someone who loves no matter what the cost. That's … [Read more...]

The Waiting Game

24 weeks

Being able to become pregnant and carry a child is truly a miracle.  A miracle that I had the opportunity to experience three times.  My pregnancies were easy and even enjoyable and if given the opportunity, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I've been featured on the ABC News page for my participation in the Million Moms Challenge, with my post … [Read more...]
