Sperm, Meet Egg!

Sperm, Meet Egg!

  It happens all the time and it pisses me off! People who don’t want to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) get pregnant, do, and those who want to get pregnant, can’t! Why! Why? WHY!? You see people who are unfit to be parents, juggling six kids they can’t afford, and it’s sickening. But yet an educated, mature, couple who are capable and ready to have a baby, can’t. Then there’s this scenario, th... Read More »

Raising Chickens For The Beginner

Raising Chickens For The Beginner

Raising chickens is a crazy and weird experience. Or Maybe it was just the way I did it? On the second week of school, it was announced that each student in my Horticulture class would have to do an SAE (supervised agricultural experience) project. It took me a few days to think about what I would do…whatever it was needed to be cool, take up 15 hours of my time, not cost very much, and also... Read More »

My Obsession with Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens!

My Obsession with Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens!

  I don’t know why, but ever since college I can only write with pens and not pencils. This wouldn’t be a huge issue if I didn’t have internal freak outs every time I notice that something that I wrote is off centered, doesn’t fit in the space I had, or I misspelled something. Even when I’m making notes for myself, for some reason it’s very important to me ... Read More »

5 Minute Mommy Face

5 Minute Mommy Face

You’ve got baby toys on the floor, hip cocked out to the side, baby gripped tightly in one hand, mascara in the other…sound familiar anyone? It’s no secret that when you have a baby, mom’s personal needs tend to come last. For example, going to the bathroom usually involves company, forget about shaving your legs in the shower, oh and the time you spend on yourself getting ready each day…let... Read More »

When Flying Makes You Ask: Are You Serious?

When Flying Makes You Ask: Are You Serious?

Recently I flew to Hawaii for spring break to go see my family. While on the eleven hour flight I noticed some things that made me ask, “Are you serious?”. On the flight from Charlotte to Dallas, nothing went wrong. Everything seemed fine. I assumed that the next flight would be the same way. I assumed wrong. On the flight from Dallas to Kahului, I sat horizontal from a couple from New... Read More »

What’s the Beauty “BUZZ”??

Recently I found this amazing product and I just have to share it with everyone I know!! Being only twenty years old, I still try my hardest to combat any signs of aging before it even has time to hit me! Like any other women, (at least I think), we will do anything to stay looking as youthful as we can for as long as we can! While some people like to spend more money on procedures to reverse the ...

What Blogging is REALLY Like | WIRL Project

The Mad, Mad World Of Blogging

It has become somewhat of a whispering joke amongst family members. Oh, look at her! Maybe this is the year she gets a REAL job! The truth is that bloggers work hard —DAMN HARD — probably harder than most. We are writers, editors, proofreaders, and pimps: hustling our lives and submitting our stories for the sake of personal gain. We are also critical of ourselves and thick-skinned because we have...
