I’m alone in my car on my lunch break. I just picked up my favorite smoothie. I was planning on walking around a store to stretch my legs, but I can’t make myself get out. The song “Drowning” by Chris Young came on the radio on my drive to the shopping center from Juva and…

Sweet Morningtime
On a typical weekday, our morning routine is simple and relatively smooth. Lee will wake up between 4:00 and 5:00 A.M. and crawl between D and I. D’s alarm will go off at 5:00. He gets up and goes to the bathroom to get ready. I get up, grab Lee a cup of milk from…
Can we stop Mom Shaming?
Ya’ll. Ladies. Well, I say ladies, but your husbands are making just as many comments as you all are, so let’s stick with what I had originally… Ya’ll. Stop “Mom Shaming”. Or if your household is anything like mine, where D and I are in agreement with how we are raising our child, “Parent Shaming”….
And then three became four
I’m pregnant! We prayed and we prayed and we prayed for Lee. We tried everything we could think of. If you’ve read my post about PCOS, you know exactly what we went through. And for some unknown reason, other than God himself putting a hand on my shoulder, we have conceived a child without the…
“Mommy..no, no, no..”
My husband was up and out of the house before the crack of dawn this morning to go duck hunting with his buddies. It was like 28 degrees outside. They’re insane. About 15 minutes after D snuck out the back door, I heard Lee’s little feet running through the living room. He rounded the corner…
Live your life
“I feel like everyone we know is out here chasing their own version of the American Dream and you and I, baby we’re just living our lives”. This sounds like a line out of a country song, doesn’t it? It’s not. D said this to me when we were on our way home from our…
What I Didn’t know
****WARNING: THIS IS A SAPPY POST. YA GIRL IS IN HER FEELS TODAY..**** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Last night, after all of the household chores had been done and Lee had been put to bed, D and I climbed into our bed and turned on the television. D scrolled through Hulu for a minute…
A day in the life
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…
Waving good-bye to June
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. This was incredibly exciting, however, absolutely terrifying. What is money, even? Where does it come from? Who…
Morning Troubles
When I walked into Lee’s bedroom this morning, he was standing up, leaning against the side of the crib. When he saw me, he threw his arms into the air and yelled, “Mommmmmmaaaaa!”. So, naturally, I leapt across the room in a single bound, lifted him out, and squeezed him hard against my bosom. I had my…
