Posts about my life as a mom. Includes such content as mommy confessions, single parenting posts, random musings, and product reviews.
FTC Disclosure: I am a brand ambassador for McDonald’s of Central Arkansas, however, I will continue to share my honest thoughts and real experiences.
Christian is 5.5 years old now (Wow..time flies! Seems like it was just yesterday that I was sharing the story of his birth). I admit that up until recently, I really didn’t expect him to help out much around the house. I pretty much stuck to asking him to clean up after himself.
One thing that I have often lamented since becoming a mom is the lack of definite traditions in my family. This feeling deepened to a definite sadness after the loss of our matriarch, Madea. It seemed that with her passing, the few traditions we did have came to an end. As time has gone on, I have become more and more determined to start traditions with my son. After all, they have to start somewhere.
It’s easy to think of adventure as something out of reach… too self-indulgent, too expensive, too time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This past year I’ve embraced the idea of “micro-adventures” as a way to add more excitement and inspiration to my daily life. A micro-adventure can be almost anything. As long as it’s easy, exciting (whatever that means for you), and breaks up your routine.
Ten years ago I spent all my spare time curled up on my couch with a book, escaping into someone else’s story.
These days I usually pass those precious minutes staring into the lit screen of my phone, but I still looking for a story to escape into.
Since diving into the internet world head first as a blogger, I have read a lot of blogs.
Last year, I was given the great opportunity to attend a blogging conference with the lovely ladies of Arkansas Women Bloggers. I spent 3 days learning about the art of blogging, hanging out with some amazing women, and generally having my mind blown by the possibilities. Picking which of the many awesome sessions to attend was difficult, and I wish that I could have attended them all.
