To Do List

Good morning everyone! Let’s try and remember this To-do List when we are feeling a bit down or overwhelmed. So many times we feel like we are behind on so many things, and are simply focusing on the tangible chores we haven’t done. Let’s try to remember that self care should be part of our…

Why Am I Feeling This Way?

Goodness, I am feeling so much anxiety right now. My chest hurts, heart pounding and I feel like crying. Why? That’s just it...I’m not too sure. Maybe it’s my mensuration that decided to finally show itself, or just one of those days where I think I’m good, just to end up feeling like I do…

Back to School Time!

So I have a 4th grader!! My big guy starts school tomorrow and I still can't believe he will be in 4th grade. Time is really flying by guys! Hubby and I weren't comfortable sending him in for face to face teaching just yet, so he will be learning virtually. Hopefully this pandemic can end…

Monday was Bananas

So, I am sooooo happy it is Tuesday! My Monday was ridiculously stressful. By 4:30pm my husband was walking through the door to find me in tears, scrubbing vomit off the sofa 😭. Let me start from the beginning... In the morning, I was woken up by my son at 8:22am because I had somehow…

Teaching our kids Compassion

Last night's convo with my son in the car: Nate: Mommy, how come you had to give the whole bag of cherries to that man? Me: I didn't have to. I wanted to. When people don't have anything to eat, or any place to live, remember it's good to help out. Nate: Oh, he was…

UPDATE: It’s been a while

Hi guys! I know I've been off wordpress for a long time now. Life has just been pretty busy! I started school back in August. Before classes started, I found out I was pregnant! Guys it's taken my husband and I 5 long years of trying for baby #2, so we were beyond shocked! Then…

Anxiety Symptoms

If ever you’re around a person who you think is behaving “strangely” and you can’t figure out why, maybe they suffer from anxiety disorder. Because of my anxiety disorder, I tend to stutter, shake, speak fast, get some stomach pains, and I lash out in anger when I’m really anxious (obviously I don’t mean to).…

Why am I surprised?

At the moment, I'm laying in bed with an anxiety induced headache...you know the kind. A headache brought on by the never ending thoughts that spiral in your mind, causing you to go from happy and calm to edgy and frustrated. The kind that hits you when you're not always expecting it to. The headache…
