The Truth Behind Who Shares My Sheets

It’s true. I have a male sleeping in my bed, every night. He falls asleep without the covers over his legs but then searches for them in the night. We start the night off by sleeping on our own sides but just as he’s about to get into his deep sleep, he scoots over to share my pillow. He doesn’t snore. And he doesn’t drool, but he does require a humidifier. He sometimes sleeps in a way that takes up the entire bed, but when he’s feeling extra lovey, he sleeps right up ag

Prepping Crockpot Freezer Meals

Prepping Crockpot Freezer Meals

As much as I'd like to tell you this was my idea, I can't because I heart my BFF more than that. A few weeks back, she said, "I think we should make a bunch of crockpot meals and freeze them..." I was like, "yeah Ok sure, just tell me where to be and when." She took the reigns and basically this is what went down: We included one of our other friends so there were 3 of us total. We each picked 2 or 3 recipes from Pinterest that we wanted to try. Denise put all the reci

Speaking of...Tuesday 10

Speaking of...Tuesday 10

1. Honestly, I keep thinking about how amazing it'll be, to be in New York for BlogHer15. That and, is it weird that I want to wear exactly the same outfits I wore last year only because they were fab and I had such good luck last year? Yeah, I know that's weird. But I'm weird so it's all good. 2. Speaking of weird, please don't judge me too much on this. I know it's over the top but I have to know if this happens to anyone else. You know how when you walk past some g

How the old ladies in Hobby Lobby are changing my life

How the old ladies in Hobby Lobby are changing my life

You know how when older moms or (grandma age) ladies tell you to enjoy your three year old because it goes way to fast? And they're telling you this in the middle of the Hobby Lobby checkout line? At Christmas time? When there are 57 people in line with their tiny carts over-flowing with Christmas shit? And your kid is completely out of patience and he's near the level of screaming because you won't let him buy the candy they conveniently have at the register? And you wonder

Her Seasons

It was a bittersweet part of her life. It was a short part of her life but it was more than likely one of the biggest parts. She’ll try to forget and then she’ll always want to remember. She’ll hold onto the sweet parts and cry about the sad parts. She’ll wonder why it happened. She’ll ponder on what she was supposed to learn. She’ll try to squeeze the life out of it until she understands. The harder she squeezes, the faster it slips away. There will be times that she’

Tuesday 10 and lately

Hello world! Should I say welcome back to myself? How much did y'all miss Tuesday 10? I honestly didn't miss it that much, maybe a little. Wink. I'm sure y'all wanna hear what we've been up to as of late, so I'll bring everyone up to speed, T10 style. 1. I took a blogging break, starting early December, and it was nice. I was able to "get prepared" for the holidays without feeling too rushed. Yeah right, me prepared? 2. Kaleb had his Christmas party at school and all

2014 with a touch of 2015

2014 with a touch of 2015

You know how last year (and the year before), I was all on top of my shit and had the year in review post ready like a month in advance? Yeah that was cute. I didn't do that this year, at all. I had nothing prepared until just now, when I threw some pictures together. I find it ironic because that's how I feel about 90% of 2014. It was thrown together and I have no idea where the hell it went or what we did. For real. Last year I was able to step you through, month by
