My Ectopic Pregnancy Story

* This post contains images that some might find graphic/disturbing. Out of all of the blog post ideas I have jotted down in my Notes, I never fathomed that this was a post I'd be authoring.  In fact, having 3 healthy full-term births in the past gave me confidence that such a thing could never happen

Why I gave up blogging and came back (again)

Let me open by saying that I believe there are two main types of people in this world: Those who are determined to do what they set out to do, and push through until it's done. Aaaaaand... Those who give up after a short time of not seeing (enough) results, and move on to the next

Nothing New Under The Sun

Seasons change.  That's something we can all agree on.  Seasons of the year, plainly seen by all in the changing trees, sunrise and set, and the weather around us...  But also, and more importantly, seasons of life.  Seasons of life, some linger like an unforgiving winter with no end in sight, while others fly by

Find your Why! This sounds so basic, doesn't it? But, friends, any successful person (in any sense of the word) will tell you that It Is Essential to know your Why in order to succeed! What does that even mean? Your Why is who you are. It's what you do. It makes

Find Time to Blog – or do Anything!

time to blog
So, you want to blog (or do something else) but you just can’t find the time, eh? The dishes are piling up, your phone keeps ringing and the kids want to go watch bunnies hop through the field outside, right? Hey, I know. Been there. Done that. Still there. Listen, that stuff, while important, isn’t

The Doubt Monster

By now, we’re friends right? That is, unless you literally just found my blog, in which case, let’s be friends! Ok, now that that’s out of the way… Did you ever have one of those days, you know the kind I mean… Where nothing is going right, and everything’s a mess? The

Breaking Free

Alright, I’m putting myself out there. This is not a very flattering image of me, but I love it anyway because it was one of those moments. The type of moment where you are just lost in pure bliss and fun, without regard of anyone around you thinking you’ve lost your mind.

Blogging is more

Blogging is more. What do I mean by that? To some blogging may be a career, a way to rake in money, a complex algorithm to figure out how to earn the most $ from every post, but to others it’s so very much more. Like I’ve said in prior posts, my

Schoolbus or RV? Why we chose a bus

You might be a bit confused at this point, so if you have no idea why someone would say School Bus and RV in the same sentence, go check out my other post What is a Skoolie? first. Now that we’re on [relatively] the same page, let’s get into it. Naturally, when I
