Thankful
It’s a shame I didn’t seize this opportunity to share all the things I’m grateful for. While we often reserve November for expressing thanks because of Thanksgiving, cultivating gratitude is something we should practice year-round. I’ve long wanted to keep a gratitude journal as a form of personal development and…

Disney World: Park Bag
I talked about packing for our Disney trip a while ago, but I waited to talk about the park bag until after my trip so I could share what I needed, what I didn’t need, what I wished I had, what I wished I had more of, etc. It’s taken…

Fall Bucket List
I’m a big fan of bucket lists—lists are my jam! There’s something immensely satisfying about crossing items off a list (a bit of negative reinforcement, if you’re into the psychology of it). My numerous bucket lists offer me that sense of accomplishment and more. As I work on shifting my…

Magical Mini-Vacation (Animal Kingdom Lodge)
We had a truly enchanting trip to Disney, and we’re already dreaming of our next magical adventure. We recently enjoyed a long weekend away, sparing no expense, and it was worth every single penny. To celebrate the finalization of Boy1 and Boy2’s adoption, Hubs and I whisked them away to…

Fall Break
I signed my kids up for a few days of fall break camp, aiming to be the mom with all the festive activities planned for school breaks. Last year, I aspired to be that mom, but reality often meant too much time cooped up at home, leading to excessive tablet…

Go Someplace You’ve Never Been Before
I recently came across a quote on Facebook that said, “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” It wasn’t attributed to anyone, so maybe it’s just a timeless piece of wisdom or advice. Regardless, I absolutely adore this idea! I have a passion for exploring new places and…

too much, too little
I find it hard to turn down volunteer opportunities. Hubs and I feel truly blessed despite the challenges we’ve faced—infertility, cancer, joblessness, injuries, and financial struggles. We’ve experienced our share of difficulties, like many of us do, but through it all, we’ve been committed to giving back. Whether it’s through…

Travel Colds
I have a deep-seated aversion to travel colds, and I’m certain I can’t be the only one who experiences this. It seems like every time I travel, I end up with sinus issues. Whether it’s a trip to Virginia or several visits to Florida, my sinuses always seem to flare…
