My Psoriasis is only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because… It’s just skin and it’s only surface deep. I am beautiful, even with my pink/white spots. My daughter looks up to me and I need to be a strong role model for her and teach her that it’s inner beauty that counts. Here’s my story: Just prior to my first Psoriasis outbreak, I was at a peak... Read More »

My toddler and I had a great thing going. We napped when we wanted (yes, we). We came and went as we pleased. I had a kid-friendly, work-from-anywhere business that I could do with him in tow. 18 plane rides by the time he was 2, and monthly 4ish hour car rides to see mom and family in DC – he was used to being on the go. We had fun. We loved the non-stop adventure. Thankfully, my husband was pret... Read More »

Before I continue, I’d like to say something. I am not a m... Read More »

So as I’ve mentioned before in previous posts, I work part time as a vet tech, that’s a veterinary technician! (Just in case someone wasn’t sure) I, believe it or not, LOVE my job!! How many people do you know that can honestly say the same?! I have worked within this particular profession for almost 7 years now, at the same animal hospital. Currently I only work 1-2 days a week,... Read More »
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-...

My beautiful baby girl just turned one in March, and motherhood has forced it’s fair share of changes on me, the least of which being my pants size. The elephant in the room is Postpartum Depression. I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression (PPD) four weeks after I had my bundle of joy. I wanted to be happy, but I couldn’t stop crying. The bottom line is that postpartum depres... Read More »
