I'm weird because... I can't sleep with my hair down. I drink ice milk regularly. I have a no shoes policy in my home. I like Doritos with tapatio. I kiss the clock any time it's 11:11. I love to smell my sons smushy neck over a dozen times a day. I prefer to NOT cuddle when I sleep. I have still never left Lil W with a teen[...]
I thought I would join a sorority. Meet a bunch of girls who would become my lifelong besties--you know, those 10 girls that eventually make up your bridesmaids, all with gorgeous smiles and matching light pink dresses.

I've tried cutt[...]
I decided to go to Blog Sugar for one main reason. To be inspired. You see, Blog Sugar is a faith-centered conference. And that's something I don't talk about a lot on here--my faith. Which has been bothering me. Because it's a big part of who I am, and of who I want to continue becoming. I didn't create this blog to be pr[...]
{via} In an instant. That's how life goes when you become a parent. One instant you're laying in bed with your husband, your toddler sleeping soundly in between you both, you glance over, your eyes meet, he gives a half smile and you know exactly what his half smile and sparkling eyes are saying in that moment, because you fee[...]
I was watching Oprah. Which, I'm sure, is when 80% of the World experiences their Aha! moment. It was that episode from her final season where she shows the guests who have impacted her most over the years. One guest stuck out to me more than the others. She was interviewing a mother who had accidentally forgotten her child in t[...]
