This is a historic event y’all. I am about to talk about my relationship with my husband, on the internet, for the world to see. Much like the total eclipse of the sun the Midlands was lucky enough to...
Parents of preteens can be very naïve these days. I remember the days of my youth when I would lie to my parents about who I was talking to on the phone . . . and now as a mother...
I live a charmed life – I know it and am the first to admit it. I had a happy childhood, a fun time in high school (for real), expanded my horizons in college, and have really had a...
No doubt about it, being a mama is hard work. But meeting mamas with kids who are around the same age can help lessen the burden of the day to day challenges. If you haven't had to make new...
My life is perfect. Okay, no ... not really. Though, it may seem that way on social media.
