Y’all. Some days… Mama said there’d be days like this. Ready for some vulnerability? Right now my kitchen is half-tiled and my clothes don’t fit. I’m washing bottles in a powder bathroom because I can’t walk to the sink, and the dishwasher is in the office. I am wearing black leggings in 90 degree weather because… Continue reading Days Like This.

It’s hard to believe that in 4 more days (if not sooner), we will have another person in our family. In all of my free time, I managed to overestimate my Walmart grocery pick-up and… Continue reading Muffins, Outfits, and The Wait.
