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 →

Waiting In Time

When I was little, there was this big tree in front of our house. It had this perfect spot at the base for me to sit on. I would sit there looking towards the main street that cars would turn to go towards my house. Every time my parents would have another of their toxic... Continue Reading →

Beer, I Choose You

Whenever the world gets mad at me. Whenever I’m feeling down. Whenever I’m reminded of my own insignificance. Beer. Because beer has yet to tell me I’m worthless. “We are never sad, cause we are not allowed to be” - Rain

First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →

Off The Bucket List

If you’re like me, you might have a playlist of music to save your life. At the very top of mine you can find "Disintegration" by The Cure. Oh, that song. It has always screamed so many things of my life. All my hurts, the feelings of not being good enough, the loud never-ending thoughts... Continue Reading →

New Shoes

While snooping around online few weeks ago, I came across a pair of adorable London Rag bow loafers and I fell in love with them! The place I saw them didn't have my size. I did an insane search throughout the interwebs, but I still couldn't find my size. Now because I'm a marketing person,... 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 →
