Thank You 2022

Oh man! 2022 is coming to an end and 2023 will soon begin. There were so many things I planned to do before this very day. I really did but I’m proud of myself for not freaking out about them not being done. That panic when things aren’t done is definitely something I want to […]

Is Screen Time Really The Issue?

Screen time, screen time, screen time *deep sigh*. I don’t know when it became such a terrible thing, but I’m tired of people’s opinions on it. Especially when it comes to children and those who aren’t actually responsible for the development of those children. The same way you don’t want anyone to tell you how […]

Dear Soon to Be Stay-At-Home Parent,

I am sharing this with you at a very vulnerable time. In no way, shape or form is this to discourage you. I simply want you to take it from someone who is willing to tell you that it’s not all fun, easy, and whatever other lollipop and rainbow bullshit people have come up with […]

Homeschool: It’s Getting Better Now

Homeschooling is something that I decided to do prior to the time that my children were due to start school. The pandemic also played a huge role in my choice as well. Funny thing is where we lived at the time our oldest could not attend school because she wasn’t considered “school age” there. I […]

BUY BLACK

I’ve been sitting on this idea for a few months now. It’s been nearly a year since I started posting about it to begin with and I want to keep it going. So, when I got a DM suggesting that I do the very thing I’ve been thinking about I knew it was time. Supporting […]

The Pressure to Be …

I’ve been feeling this pressure to be many things, but present is top on that list. It’s also the only thing I don’t really want to be. I’ve caught the drift of people not understanding that I am truly, not even close to who I used to be when it comes to how I deal […]

So Glad You’re Here

Life as a stay-at-home mom has been hitting me hard lately. I’ve been in this position for a few years now, but it’s something about recent events that’s got me feeling stuck. Like I’m a fly trapped in a spider’s web. My spouses work schedule has made things worse for me because they’re only here […]

Where Do I Go From Here?

When it doesn’t hurt anymore and nothing surprises me and I find myself keeping my composure, what do I do? It’s easy to fight back and go lower when they go low. It feels better to let things be what they are even though I secretly wish things were different. But that pain and frustration […]

Stranger Danger?

Growing up stranger meant danger and that was that. People have been crazy on this here earth for years and they’re [still] going to be when we’re long gone. That is a fact that no one can deny, but did that ever stop any of us from speaking to a stranger? Yes, we were also […]

Making Peace With The Inevitable

I spend many days feeling bad about things that I cannot change. Things that I did as a child, being a follower and listening to those I thought were my friends. Not speaking up and saying exactly what I want, how I want because I’m too worried about hurting someone’s feelings – even though I’m […]
