Dear daughter,

Sweet girl, This morning you came to me and told me you didn’t want to wear your favorite blue dress to church. When I asked you why in the world not, your reply broke me. I wasn’t ready for this talk with you, but alas, I had no choice but to sit you down and…

It’s a crazy life

Hey guys!  I’m back after a 3 month hiatus from writing. Peanut finally arrived at the end of August, and it has been a whirlwhind ever since. 5 days in the hospital had me spoiled, and then I came home to experience life as a party of 5. I cannot even begin to explain how…

A girl’s guide to breaking up with the toxic BFF

We’ve all got that friend, right? You know the one I’m talking about. The selfish one. The one that does what she wants without caring what it does to others? She’s toxic. And you know it. So how do you know if it’s time to break up? We all want to have our friends by…

My summer reading list

It’s SUMMERTIME! Which means it’s time for intriguing new reads to hit the shelves. Since I’ve had to wait out this pregnancy at home instead of working like originally planned, I look forward to hitting up the local bookstore to see what’s coming out next. I don’t know about you, but I am a MAJOR…

My favorite Perfectly Posh Products
