What it’s like being a blogger

What it’s like being a blogger

Hi there! I am Renee, hailing from New York, 28 years old, engaged to the best guy ever. I’ve been blogging for about two years now, at first it was for weight loss accountability, but I found out slowly, that I liked sharing my life. I never was a “great” writer growing up, I had run on sentences in anything that was written and I babbled too much. That part of me hasn’t ever changed; I still bab... Read More »

Now if you’ve ever been pregnant WITH anxiety you’ll understa... Read More »

Work Life Balance

By “Work/Life Balance” You Must Mean: All Work, Bye Bye Life, and No Balance

Since becoming a mom, I’ve learned that there are NOT enough hours in a day. Many people often wish for “super powers” and mine would be the ability to survive without sleep! I actually hate going up to bed at night. Why do we NEED to do this!? There are so many more “productive” things I could be doing instead of laying down in a bed for 7-8 hours doing NOTHING resti...

Looking for Affordable Artwork

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can find affordable artwork and possibly a mirror and sconces for my family room?  I would like to stay with earth tones. I live near Erie, PA, but don’t mind ordering from somewhere online. I checked Kirklands, but they didn’t have a lot to offer and the closest one is about 80 miles away :/ !! Read More »
