Life has been so busy the past two weeks, both babies just got over strep throat a few days ago, I had a lot of homework to get done and on top of that I have to get ready for their birthday party! It was insane. As any parent can attest to having one sick… Continue reading Life’s Updates

The Struggle
I feel like I’m in a funk that I just can’t seem to get out of and stay out of. For a time all is well and good but then I feel myself slip back into that space. It’s like quicksand it slowly pulls you in further and further till suddenly you realize its chest… Continue reading The Struggle
Split Attention

Playing with Attitude

Don’t get me wrong I love hanging out and playing certain things with them but when it comes to things that involve imagination that’s where things get sketchy. For instance, Barbie’s; they come with so many “rules” and apparently… Continue reading Playing with Attitude
