Welcome to Love the Everyday:
When I started writing this blog I wasn’t sure where my life was heading or what craziness was in store for me. As life has progressed I’ve learned that this life is what you make of it, and there is something to love about every single day, even when those moments are very mundane. Those everyday moments that sometimes pass us by may hold the happiness you’ve been seeking. I’ve been working through anxiety disorder and some pretty serious life changes this year, in doing so I’ve needed to remind myself regularly that life is beautiful and it is important to focus on those tiny, minute moments, that slip through our fingers. So, I hope I inspire you to Love the Everyday.

This is a place where […] Read more...

(Well, Caleb’s was actually traumatic and dangerous and a little awful, but that’s a story […] Read more...
#blessed #mostly #kinda
Grateful is not a strong enough word to describe this chapter of my life. I have two healthy little humans with whom I get to spend my days. Even on our worst days (and there are LOTS of worst days lately because being two is HARD) there is so much joy in this job. I […] Read more...
This Too Shall Pass
God, this stage of life is hard. I just put my toddlers into their cribs for a nap and realized, in the following silence, my ears are ringing. Literally ringing. There is just so much happening at any given moment, and when it all suddenly stops it’s like the muscles in my neck relax for […] Read more...
Caleb Turned One, Months Ago
Caleb, You’re nearly 15 months old now, and I have yet to post about you turning one. That’s because it has taken me three months to come to terms with you not being a baby anymore. I know that’s silly. You’re still a baby. You’ll be a baby for a while yet, but you’re not […] Read more...
Gratitude Journey
I’m not sure how it is going for those of you following along with me on this year’s journey toward being more grateful. But, this morning when I looked through my blog site stats and saw that the number one search term that people use to find my site is: My husband thinks I’m fat […] Read more...
