You Don’t Have to be Blooming to be Growing
Two falls ago, I planted a redbud and a flowering pear tree in my yard. After the winter had ended, I was looking forward to seeing the beautiful purple and white flowers outside my windows. But, as everything went from white to brown to green around me, the trees...
June Is Almost Here
You guys, I have an announcement to make: May is almost over and you are still alive. Confetti guns, bring on the parade...or a cup of coffee and a massage chair. This week as I was putting curlers in my daughter’s hair so it could withstand the three outfit and...
Last Day of School Traditions
Oh, the last day of school. I have really fun memories of being a kid and rushing out to summer with all of my papers, end of year awards, and used-up school supplies. It was a feeling of freedom. Now as a mom, I love watching my children's end of the year...

This Is May

Somedays You Just Need a Re-do
Last week I had a few really hard days. I would like to think that I am the only one who has tough days and that all of you reading this have no idea what I'm talking about, but unfortunately, we all have bad days, don't we? Our Facebook and Instagram pictures might...
Take a little inspiration with you.
