Just the girl next door trying to get through life, both the sweet & the sour moments, one day at a time.
I have always been a dreamer. A doer, with very specific goals in mind… not so much. So many ‘what if’s’ stop me from DOING. All of my worries boil down to the fear of failing. Let’s face it. No one wants to fail. But the best things come when you step outside your comfort…
Congratulations to Jenny Martin on winning The Power of a Praying Wife book in last week’s book giveaway! Message me your address and I’ll get it sent to you next week. 🙂 Heather is the owner of Sweet Lemonade Photography and Sweet Darling Weddings. Life gave her a bunch of lemons (you can read…
While I’ve been separated from my ex for many years, I still had a lot of stuff taking up mental space with regards to the never ending divorce process. I’m thrilled to say that after almost 5 years from the time I knew our marriage would never be the same, I am now divorced. The…
After a sunrise session on the beach, the rest of our first day in Mexico was spent at Xel-Ha. Xel-Ha is an all-inclusive eco park filled with all kinds of adventures. As I’ve mentioned before, January was a hard month at our house with illnesses that ended us up in the Emergency Room 3 different…

In my twenties, I could probably count the number of books I read on one hand. In my thirties, I started reading a lot more. While focusing on the Bible, self-help and inspirational type books, I also found my love for reading again in general. I now read books for financial guidance, spiritual growth, business,…
I don’t get worked up about Valentine’s Day. As a single mom of 3 boys, I don’t play the ‘whoa is me’ card cause I don’t have anyone to spoil me. It’s just another day. Another day that I’m reminded I have a blessed life to get to celebrate this holiday in fun ways with the…
I have to share the most simple, light and airy, and absolutely delicious cake my son made last night. I printed this off last year and need to thank The First Year for this delicious treat she shared. So glad we finally got around to making it. Yes, it was my first day of eating clean…
I’d love to say, I weigh 16 pounds less. Alas, that’s not the case. But that’s ok. So what is the 16 pounds about? Well, as I’ve shared before, 2015 was a year where I felt disconnected. My relationship with God was weakened because I wasn’t giving Him enough of my attention and everything else…
