Yesterday, I got to spend the entire day with Lee. His 18-month checkup was scheduled for 10:30 am, so I took the whole day off. Here is how we spent it: 5:30 AM - D is shaking me awake. "Are you not letting me sleep in on my day off?" I remember saying. I heard … Continue reading A day in the life
Wait, June is gone? Ju-lying! (Yeah, D didn't think it was funny either.) We did so much in June, it was insane!! D and I had house plans drawn up (thanks Dad!) and took them to a contractor.

Do you ever take a step back, examine your life, and wonder if you are on the right path? I have always set extremely high goals for myself and I worry that, lately, I've gotten a little too comfortable. Ya girl kicked ass in high school. During my Junior year, I was the Editor-In-Chief of … Continue reading Woman, calm yourself
