One day, things will settle down… right?
Things have felt like they were falling apart the past week or so. I can’t really go into details, but I thought things were so much better with one of my kids, and I found out that that was further from the truth. Things have been very very hard. Ethan is probably going to do…

No Longer Shrinking Myself
After four doses of my new medication, I’ve already started to feel noticeably better. I didn’t think that was possible because I have read it can take up to 2-6 weeks.

Seasons Change…
Seasons are changing… and life has come full circle for our family. These past few weeks/months have been a roller coaster. I guess that’s life. We put the boys in school in August. I dropped Karis off 7.5 hours away at her university the next day. I was working quite a bit but was struggling……

Upcoming Plans and Prep
I was looking through some old pictures the other day, and I realized that I missed doing some things that brought me joy! Now that we are more settled into Colorado, I’m feeling like I can start doing some things that I used to do… NOT because I feel like I have to, but because…

Truly Living Wild and Free and What that Really Means for Me
We are currently in the car, driving from one place in Texas to the next place that we are visiting. We will be in the car a lot while we are here, but I’m enjoying my time! For the past many days, I have had a long anxiety about this trip. No reason, really, except…
