It's been a stressful Monday for me! We are in the process of finding a replacement for my job and today was...LONG! We had interviews nearly all day. Plus, I have a list of about 10 things that I need to get done like yesterday. I will say this, there are tons of things I WILL MISS about my job

You know what my LEAST favorite form of exercise was up until 8 weeks ago? Yep. Running. I HATED running. I would rather fold laundry. Clean dishes. Change dirty diapers. I have no idea what the heck inspired me to start running. I mean, I did put "run a 5k" on my bucket list, but I didn't

If your like me, you've probably tried every sippy cup known to man. I think I have thrown out at least 8 sippy cups that, at one time or another, leaked all over my carpet. I have three children. I don't have time to shampoo my carpet every time my kid takes his sippy cup out of the kitchen. I

Amazing that a child who is constantly babbling and throwing things can't come up with anything interesting to say on his first vlog. Guess he got a little camera shy. He loves to watch my "I quit my job" vlog and when I asked him if he wanted to film a vlog he started shaking his head YES and
