Well hello there! If you haven’t heard from me in about a week, that’s because I have had basically zero internet or cell service! We (mostly) disconnected, and hung out on the big blue sea for the past 7 days. That’s right, yesterday morning we disembarked from our very first ever cruise! We did a […]
DISNEY WORLD!!!!!! Well, kind of. Let’s back up. 24 hours ago, we woke up and drove the 2 hour drive to the airport. We got the kids up at 4:30am to leave at 5. They thought we were going to a doctor appointment, a lot of their doctors are 2 hours away and we frequently
Just like that, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. It doesn’t take long to get right back into the swing of things back at home, does it? Yesterday was my first full day back at home in 2 weeks. It was a typical Monday. Wake up. Take the 6 year old to school. Come

Whew. After an absolute whirlwind of a past few weeks, we DID in fact make it to NY to visit my best friend. We flew there on September 11th, despite the threats of hurricane Lee, and have been fucking BUSY every day since. I got home from my Funding Love trip at like 4:30pm on

Drinking coffee on a Disney bus, headed to Magic Kingdom. That’s what I’m doing right now. Yesterday was 22,000 steps of BUSY. We hit ALL 4 PARKS (a first for me), and had a really great day. We started the day at Animal Kingdom. I woke up the tiniest bit late, at 7:04, and we

Last night, simply put, was magical. I landed at 10am after an easy and uneventful flight, and got to our resort, the Coronado Springs, by 11:30ish. I was the first one there, got greeted by Malory, Katelyn and Sarah, and then headed up to my room to find a gift box and a gorgeous view.

Here we are, we made it. September 6th, 2023. Day 1 of the Funding Love Birth Mom Vacation. A few months ago, I was nominated to a nonprofit group called Funding Love, in hopes of selected for their annual birth mom vacation. Out of the hundreds of nominees and applicants, I, along with 13 other

Tonight, we will make the 2 hour drive to my hotel room before my 6am flight tomorrow morning. It’s officially day 1 of my trip, and I sure do have a lot of feelings about it all. But first, therapy. Last night went about exactly how I needed it too. I knew my husband needed
