Trick My Keurig

How To Trick Your Keurig

  I love my Keurig 2.0 machine, but I do not drink coffee. One feature that I especially love, aside from the sleek design and pretty colored lights that it brings to the kitchen, is that my Keurig can give me hot water on demand to make my black or chai tea every morning. But, I HATED that I had to stand there and press the “dispense water” button the whole time; I have things to... Read More »

My Dad Died 8 Years Ago, But He’s Still Teaching Me Life Lessons Today

My Dad Died 8 Years Ago, But He’s Still Teaching Me Life Lessons Today

Ever since I was little, I wanted to build a business/brand/invention/something…but I never knew what that “thing” was. I’ve gone down a few paths before, and given some things a shot, but could never quite put my finger on what I was destined to do. Growing up, I always wanted to start a club or group in my neighborhood, but that “club” always ended up being me... Read More »

Teething Snacks

Let’s face it, no one enjoys the teething process. When a child is teething, it is rough on everyone! Every time Hadley went through a teething phase, I felt like a waitress at a bad restaurant. I was constantly making different meals, only for her to send them back with an attitude. Now that I have been through a handful of these phases, I wanted to share a few of the healthy teething snacks that... Read More »

Missing Today

Sometimes I feel like I am so busy looking ahead at my calendar and thinking about the future events and planning ahead that I miss today. Life feels rushed and overwhelming when I think about all the things I have to do like: eating healthy, workout, go to work, clean the house, run errands, get the laundry out of the dryer and then actually fold it etc… I am constantly hitting the ground r...

What Motivates YOU? Here’s My Story of What Motivated Me.

What Motivates YOU? Here’s My Story of What Motivated Me.

  This is my story of what motivated me. I felt like I didn’t have a choice, this needed to come out. What motivated you? What’s something that you didn’t pick, but instead IT picked YOU? After my husband proposed I remember feeling blissfully happy; sharing the news, celebrating with friends and family, and walkin’ on clouds, viewing everything through my bling’d out, rose-...

Toddler Proofing Your Dining Room Carpet

Toddler Proofing Your Dining Room Carpet

We recently moved and inherited a dining room with white/cream colored carpeting.  This immediately became a concern with a toddler living in the house.  Our two-year-old son refuses to sit at a smaller sized table and chairs in the kitchen and demands to sit at the big table with the grown ups. Originally we were placing old beach towels underneath his chair and end of the table.  This seemed to ... Read More »

Unexpected Motherhood | WIRL Project

My Most UNEXPECTED Reaction to Becoming a Mother

This is just a little story about me, it’s kind of personal and very honest. I hope that, maybe someone who is, or has felt the same is given some piece of mind knowing that there is someone else out there like them! So I’ll start off by saying something you probably aren’t used to hearing from a woman…I never dreamed of having children or being a wife. Shocking, right?!? M... Read More »

Embarrassed | WIRL Project

When You’re First Impression Contains the Word “VAG”!

I went to BlogU this weekend, one of my most favorite weekends of the year because I get to go hang out with other writers and bloggers who are off the chart weird like me. It’s pretty fucking awesome. During check-in, however, something embarrassing and downright hilarious happened that I’m going to try to tell you without crying laughing tears. I had just had lunch with several of the women chec... Read More »
