Me + You


It really IS true what they say...

Opposites DO attract.


One loud and chatty, one quiet and serious
One fruit and veggies, one meat and potatoes
One shopper, one saver
One a reader, one a TV watcher
One pink and sparkly, one camo
One blissfully ignorant, one politically knowledgeable
One can’t sit still and craves constant change, one is consistent and stable
One physically strong, one mentally strong
One early riser, one night owl
One can’t be trusted with sharp objects, one can’t wait for hunting season
One accident prone, one cautious and steady

Two opposites.
One home.
One life.
One family.

One LOVE.

Happy 9th anniversary, my honey. Here’s to many more years of balancing one another!

Why NOT me? Struggle builds STRENGTH

My mom said something to me years ago that she didn’t even remember, but it stuck with me. When I was in 3rd grade, I had to get stitches in the side of my head, and I asked her on the way to the doctor, ‘Why me? Why did this happen to ME?’….to which she responded, ‘Why NOT you? Why any other kid?’ I remind myself of that conversation often when I’m going through a struggle {no matter how big or small} and wondering, WHY me or WHY my child or WHY my family? Well, why on earth not?….nobody is exempt from mental and physical struggles throughout our lives. The GOOD thing is that even though sometimes it may seem like we’re on an island, we are NEVER alone. There is always SOMEBODY who can relate, sympathize, empathize, or provide guidance and advice. In going through our own struggles, we become stronger and then can be that support system to somebody else in need. Life most definitely takes a village. Today, choose to LIFT someone else up. Help someone in your life find their stren...

Bee the Elf and his 2018 Adventures

Note....this Elf on the Shelf obsessed post is really for my sake so I can remember in 2019 what our elf Bee was up to in 2018! I must confess, I'm one of the rare moms who LOVES the Elf. Of course, I love most anything Christmas related...but the joy on my kids faces is so much fun each morning. I also was a HUGE Barbie kid, and so I've always enjoyed creating little scenes. I know that some day I will miss this magical aspect of Christmas, so I need to enjoy it while I can! Our elf is named Bee, and he arrived on Tobin's 1st birthday 6 years ago. He started off just moving to random shelves (and I helped my tiny 1 year old 'find him'-HA!) and has gradually gotten a little crazier each year. My kids 'get it' more this year than ever before, and I've enjoyed coming up with new adventures each night after they go to bed. I think the longest I've spent is 5 minutes each night, and their reaction the next day is totally worth it! This year, he arri...

September 25th

A day that I’ll never forget. A day that started like any other day. A day that taught me so much more than I anticipated. A day that could have been so much worse. Happy 1st birthday, Coco. From the focus on pain...to the focus on movement...to the focus on scarring... I’m proud of this journey. I’m proud of my healing. I now know... Coconut oil is very flammable. Fire destroys faster than I realized Water doesn’t put out grease fires. Adrenaline gives you superpowers. Regional One is an amazing facility that our city to blessed to have. I am capable of so much more than I knew. Healing truly comes from within. What a year it’s been. What a learning experience it’s been.
