My Motherhood List

Since I have been thinking about blogging for so long, I have an abundance of writing pieces tucked away in a stack of journals. There’s a journal for every season of my life. Mostly because every season I would tell myself this would be the season I turn all of my draft posts to published …

Where did ya come from Cotton-Eyed Joe? Part One

To get to the part in my story when Tucker made his grand entrance, I suppose I should introduce that magical man I mentioned. To get there, I think we should go even further back. All the way back to my roots. Back to a tiny town that celebrates underwear.  I was born and raised …

My Why

I had somewhat of a revelation the other night. I was laying in bed, unable to sleep because once again, my mind would not shut off.  I had this particular subject on my heart for quite some time. Debating with myself again and again, but still left feeling so lost.  I’ve been dreaming of launching …

  • Lately, I’ve been feeling unfulfilled. Weighed down even, by the amount of time I spend on my phone throughout the day. The time I could have spent reading, painting the cupboards (which I really want to do), or doing literally anything other than looking at a screen. ⁣
⁣
I have given this a lot of thought, and I am going to commit the next thirty days to a digital detox. ⁣
⁣
No mindlessly scrolling through Instagram. No Fear Pong videos on Facebook. Not even any blog posts. ⁣
⁣
My hope with doing this detox, is to find the mental clarity that I am desperately craving. To focus on myself, and enjoying quality time with my family. ⁣
⁣
To soak in every moment of my life, without my phone in my hand. ⁣
⁣
I am so excited for this, and honestly, I need it. ⁣
⁣
So, I’ll catch ya in thirty girl.⁣
⁣
In the words of Tigger, TTFN.⁣
⁣
Ta ta for now. ⁣

The Fates Divide⁣
By @vrothbooks ⁣
I will say I absolutely LOVED these characters. Akos and Cyra had my heart from the beginning of the first novel, Carve the Mark, which I also reread this week. I truly enjoyed this space opera novel as a whole, but I can’t quite give it five stars. The hopeless romantic in me needed just a tad more from the ending. ⁣
⁣
I had been on a historical fiction kick for a while, so it was nice to get back to my usual this week. Usual being young adult science fiction 🤣⁣

What’s your favorite genre to read?
  • Good morning world 🌎 
Duane managed to get me out of bed at 4:30 to drink coffee with him and snuggle on the couch before he left for work. Currently listening to birds chirp and reading an engrossing novel. 
I am the farthest thing from a morning person, but this was a perfect way to start the week. 
Happy Monday ✨
  • Let me love you a little more, before you’re not so little anymore 🖤
  • I saw something yesterday that said, “I’m trying to find the balance between being a better mother, and being more than a mother”. I resonated with that more than I can even explain. I think as a mother you will always strive to a better one, but I also think it’s hard to view yourself as more than just a mother. At least it is for me. 
I found my dirty old chucks at my parents house last week, and brought them home to be washed. I put them on yesterday, and I have not felt more like myself since I got pregnant. 
These shoes are a part of me. These shoes represent who I was before I became a mother, and it felt SO good to just feel like myself for a second. 
Does anyone else have something like pair of dirty converse that they identify with? Or is it just me? 
On the blog today, I am talking about who I was before Tucker. There’s even an embarrassing photo. Link is in my bio!
