Evidence

Picture it. It’s Christmas Eve. Your children have been asleep for a reasonable amount of time for you to step in and begin to finalize the Christmas magic. You put the presents under the tree. You fill the stockings. You take a bite out of the cookies and drink all the milk left for “Santa.”Continue reading “Evidence”

30 Questions to Ask Your Partner, Part 3!

I cried on Thursday of this week (I’m writing this on Saturday). I realized on Thursday that I did not publish a blog the previous day. I decided at the first of the year that I would publish a blog every seven days. I’ve been trying to accomplish bucket list item number 54, “Write aContinue reading “30 Questions to Ask Your Partner, Part 3!”

Shark Energy

I texted my brother the morning I started writing this blog because I wanted to show him my new tattoo. His response after I sent him the picture was, “Lol, why a hammerhead shark?” My response was, “Cause I think they’re cute and I just love shark energy in general.” I really started to thinkContinue reading “Shark Energy”

Gluten Free. Who, Me?

I started this journey into blog writing thanks to a class I was taking back in 2022. The first three blogs were intro blogs necessary to meet class requirements. The next three were some ideas I came up with to continue on with the blog following the class ending. Those three introduced my book clubContinue reading “Gluten Free. Who, Me?”

A Look Inside My Brain

I started this blog with no real plan for how it would proceed. I didn’t even have any confidence it would form into enough content to be worthy of sharing. My anxiety has often entertained me with its contradictory thinking. My brain often has every scenario imaginable to run through at any given moment. IContinue reading “A Look Inside My Brain”

Sometimes the Only Thing to Do Is Yell, “F*ck!”

I imagine if you saw the title of my blog, you may have expected to see a curse word or two somewhere throughout this blog. I apologize for the lack of warning on the title, but here’s a warning that I am absolutely going to spell out the word throughout this blog at some points.Continue reading “Sometimes the Only Thing to Do Is Yell, “F*ck!””

Parenting Phrases

I have been thinking about the best way to organize this blog for a while now. I’ve written a few blogs related to parenting, but I think this will likely be my favorite. I am 100% an evidence based research girlie! I love speaking with facts and support behind my statements. If the United StatesContinue reading “Parenting Phrases”

Bucket List #60

Bucket List Item Number 60: “Get to a point with my health where I don’t think constantly about losing weight.” Y’all. Did I do it? Can I mark off number 60 from my bucket list? Help me decide. In a class I took while in grad school, I remember doing a presentation about art therapy.Continue reading “Bucket List #60”

Nonsense

I got my first hate comment about my content the other day. It didn’t come in the way I assumed my first hate comment would, but it made me think about writing another blog. I tend to process things through writing and this felt like a great way to process some thoughts I’ve been having.Continue reading “Nonsense”

Don’t Have Children

I recently read a journal entry from July of 2018 where I wrote that I’m a kick ass mother. I stared at it in shock. I didn’t know that I ever felt that way about motherhood. While living in Texas, “Don’t have children” came out of my mouth so many times. I advised all theContinue reading “Don’t Have Children”
