I am a mother . I have two absolutely beautiful, amazing, full of life and wonder...toddlers. Scarlett is vivacious. She is a red-headed spitfire with a daily goal of trying to argue her father and I into oblivion. And Evan...well he is a person all his own too. He spends his days climbing, toddling, falling, yelling, hitting, playing, eating...and well...he is just a very busy little man. After a 10 hour work day, I come home to these marvelous little creatures., and I look forward to it all day. But once I am actually home, and chasing those little tyrants...I often have selfish thoughts. I have seen and heard enough to assume that most parents do. It is only natural to want to do things, or have things just for yourself. Yet, being a mother, when I do want to do things, or have things (even just alone time)...I feel incredibly guilty for it. You are taught from a young age that when you "grow up" and have children, that you are supposed to sacrifice and do ...

We wanted a boy. Every couple wants a boy. And if they say they don't...I call total bull. Yes, everyone wants healthy and happy...but deep down when asked, " Do you want a boy or girl? "                                                                                                                      ...most think boy. It is encoded in our DNA to want a son so that there is someone to carry the "family" name. It is only natural. It is only human. Originally I did not want  a second child. I love my little Scarlett Rose more than life itself, and felt that she was more than enough, and she would have been with or without Evan. But we decided that she needed a sibling...a friend...a...

Ever been so tired that it feels like your eyelids are sand paper...and with each blink you lose another layer of moisture...? Toothpicks just are not enough to hold these steel doors that keep slamming together on my face. Yea . That's me today. Monday. Hope I don't nod off. *Startles awake* No... I was not snoring. Just checking that my nasal passages are clear. Ugh. Monday. Have I said that yet? I decided that it would be a great idea to stay up until three this morning. But now, I am really questioning my abilities to make good decisions...                                                ...especially when I know that I have to get up for work at six! I have never felt more inclined to the saying "Old enough to know better." My body is screaming for sleep. I wonder if I could sign up for a sleep study today? Will they give doctors notes...

Most women love going to the salon and being pampered but it is hard to find the time and sometimes hard to spare the extra money to do so. I for one, love the beautiful feeling I get shortly after getting my nails done. It makes me feel relaxed, pampered, and like I could grab the bull by the horns. ..                                                                             all because I got some badass nail color!           .. .I will take a side of Superwoman with that coat of teal polish please! Anyways... I just cannot justify spending twenty five bucks every two weeks to get a gel polish manicure especially when Christmas is fast approaching, and my entire family has birthdays in the next several months! That and I am cheap.  Really cheap. ...

I have recently returned to work after taking about a year off to stay home with my babies again. I work in an office full of men, I am literally the only female , other than they occasional customer. And even then those are far and few between as I work in what most would call a "heavily male populated workforce". It doesn't bother me, except where bathroom issues are concerned. We all know that men and women have very different bathroom practices, as well as expectations when it comes to cleanliness. Not saying all men or women are the same with bathroom hygiene, just different. But that's not the issue I am trying to get to...another blog another day! No I am talking about that time of the month. The most dreaded week of every woman's month. SHARK WEEK ... !  ... DUN DUN DUN ! Well that's what we have deemed it in my household anyways! To the point ...there is nothing more embarrassing than being the only female in an office and bein...

I honestly don't know many people that just love water and its lack of flavor. It is work for everyone to make sure that they drink adequate amounts of water, not just to have something to drink, but to remain hydrated. I live in the grand ol' " Sunshine State ", (Florida for those that don't know) and it is HOTTTT ! Not only is it ridiculously hot in the summer, but it is so humid that you pour sweat while sitting on your derriere. I have watched my hardworking and wonderful husband Dustin work in this heat with sweat just running down his arms. You can dehydrate in as little as a couple of hours in Florida due to the humidity. I cannot even begin to explain how important it is for all of us to drink adequate amounts of water. All of that being said, I have decided to share some facts about water consumption and dehydration while drinking my Fiji Water infused with Mio Water Enhancer (Acai Berry) and some fresh blueberries! What are the benefits ...
