Martial Arts? Are you a fan?

I grew up watching the MMA! I am not particularly a huge fan, but my dad was. We always on a Sunday night would subscribe to get the match on our television. We would sit, eat our dinner, and watch the match, while I was in high school. At that time, I knew all the MMA fighters. Now that I am married, we continue watching the MMA specials, because my husband … [Read more...]

Our trip to Vegas this past month!

Have you ever heard of the blow dry bar?

It has been on my bucket list to do a 5K for the past 10 years but every time I went to the sign up page for the race, I wimped out. I kept making excuses not to sign up. I remember one time I was just about to … [Read more...]

I can’t believe it has been a year already!

It has been around 18 months since I lost my grandma. She was actually my husband's grandma, but to me, I called her grandma. She was the most loving and sincere woman you could ever meet. She was just AMAZING! I think about her and miss her each and every day! When I look back at the last few months, she was able to live life at home with an assisted nurse … [Read more...]

Big Boy Bed- To Do or Not To Do!

Zane has always been a relatively peaceful sleeper in his crib. However,  lately I have been seeing him try to monkey climb his way out if his crib. I am sure if you have kids, you could relate in one form or another. While I know it won't be long until he transitions to a big boy bed, I know that I am just not ready yet. He is my baby after all! My husband … [Read more...]
