Plannng My Shopping Spree!

After I lose more weight, I've been given the go ahead to splurge on myself a little bit. I plan on getting a new wardrobe (because hello, my old clothes won't fit!), and new hair 'do and new glasses or contacts. I have always worn glasses but I think I'm ready for a change. I would love to try colored contacts but that may be a bit too adventurous for me, just yet! I've always wanted to ditch the … [Read more...]

Tattoos are pretty permanent and people usually put a ton of thought into the art they are inking onto their body, perfecting it in every way, and who will be doing the inking.

Poop Isn’t Cool

There isn't anything cool or fun about poop. Nothing, nada. So why does my toddler insist on taking his diaper off to play with his poop? Yuck. Is it because I'm a mean mommy and put him down for a nap and he's all "ha mom, jokes on you!" and paints me a pretty poopy picture? I'm so over it. Kids are so gross. Adam never, ever did this (and I don't blame him, it's disgusting) so why is Lucas so … [Read more...]

We were young and didn't know better. I honestly thought that vaccinating was the only option and that we didn't have a choice. Obviously, I didn't do any research and trusted Adam's … [Read more...]
