My weekday usually starts at 6:45 in the morning. In the process of getting ready (for what always seems like an eternal day), I make sure my outfit can be flexible enough to handle life with three kiddos. Ideally that means comfort but that reality is hard to come by most of the time. Which…
This blog post is sponsored by TIAA All thoughts expressed are my own. You know those moments when you start thinking about those people who have really impacted your life? I just had one of those moments recently. Probably because I came across her photos on facebook, ha. Whatever the reason, I just took a minute and thought about how much she has encouraged me and made a difference in my life, whether she knows it or not. I’m totally going to embarrass her now, but she needs a little lime light shed on her, its well deserved. My beautiful cousin, Jessica. This…

Did you gasp at that title? I never thought I would see the day when I wasn’t on team caffeine and all things coffee, turns out there is truth to caffeine being a silent destroyer. UGH. As of recently I have become incredibly aware of what I’ve been putting in my body and the side effects of those things. Is it beneficial or is it silently harming me, leading me down a path of future health issues? Ladies, I’m sure at some point in your lives you’ve suffered from a UTI. Not the sexiest topic ever.

We’re officially in back-to-school month around here! I’m not going to pretend I’m all smiles and giggles over this. When summer comes to an end, its always a little gut wrenching having to switch gears into ‘reality’. With that in mind, I always cling onto that silver lining. I love the clean slate of a new school year for the kiddos. I always wonder what their favorite subject will be this time around. What will they’ll excel in?
