Yesterday I started this huge blog to catch you up on all the reasons I’ve been M.I.A. from my little blog. Then my photos weren’t uploading correctly and I got frustrated, so I just put it away. Today I remembered a graphic a friend posted that totally spoke to me: Before Christmas, I had decided... Continue Reading →
Dear Santa
Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is my bills paid. And about a week’s worth of sleep. And one of those cool Blvck notebooks that are way too expensive, but oh so cool! I’m so tired y’all. I had the bright idea to work at my local Santa Land. Making $50 a night to... Continue Reading →
We’re All Mad Here
You know that post that says something of, "You don't know what others are going through. Everyone is fighting their own battle," or whatever preachy nonsense? I just got a dose of that. Yesterday I ran into someone that I met way back when I first moved to West Texas. I hadn't seen her in... Continue Reading →
Life Does Not Suck
It’s a busy time of year for us and we've been here before. School gets started, Aria's schedule fills up, Vince starts a new bowling season, putting together Aria's birthday party, all the Fall activities, and in between there I do my best to keep it all going with perfect pitch-black eyeliner. Miss Aria is... Continue Reading →
So Long Sweet Summer
The summer has officially come to an end. What I thought would be a quiet summer turned out to be a few weeks of reconnection and it was really nice. Second day of school selfie. I reconnected with people that it’s not that we lost touch, but we’ve just been busy with life. We're all... Continue Reading →
Season of Change
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
There’s Still Hope
Aria was about 4 weeks old. I had an appointment to be at that afternoon. Vince was at work. It had taken me like 5 hours to get ready - and I didn't even do my hair! I just threw on a cap. Between getting myself ready, getting Aria ready, getting her fed, and figuring... Continue Reading →
Spring Cleanse
I’ve got 99 problems and these people make 100 of them better. Y’all, is the school year over yet? This time of year gets crazy busy for us. Between end-of-the-year activities for Aria, planning summer activities and trips for the familia, and life - We've got a lot going on for the next few weeks.... Continue Reading →
Shine On
Ever since I got my first apartment, I’ve made it a point to always have a candle lit somewhere in the house. At first it was for the scent because candles can fill any room with a great aroma. Also, sitting in the dark with only a candle going is so calming. Even the smallest... Continue Reading →
So Much For That
So yesterday morning sucked. There’s something I’ve been wanting to do so, so bad for a very, very long time. And I got to a point where I was like, “I can do this! It’s finally going to happen!” Then, little by little, it kept slipping away. Yesterday it finally all just fell apart. I... Continue Reading →
