“Worry About Youself”

We’ve all seen the video of the toddler trying to buckle herself, her dad asks to help, and she says “worry about you self”.  Are you? Are you worrying about you self?  Or are you taking care of everyone but yourself? Now more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves! Take a little

What’s for dinner?

My kids just asked me the dreaded question.  “What’s for dinner?”.   Did you know these people except dinner every night? Every of the nights?  If you’re like me, you struggle at times coming up with new recipes.  Given the times, I gathered a few, inexpensive, easy to make recipes to share with you.  Hopefully

What CAN you do?

Let’s face it, no one really knows what’s going on or what to do right now.  Instead of focusing on what we CAN’T do, focus on what you CAN do.  There are so many ways you can help your community!  You can shop with small businesses who are relying on your sales ( like with

Curls of Wisdom

I was born with naturally curly hair, like most of us curly girls, I wanted straight hair.  I’ve spent the last (mumbles under breath number of years) straightening my hair and causing a ton of damage.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to love who I am and embrace who I am, that includes the

Find Your Tribe

Everyone struggles, I don’t care what you say, every single person in this world struggles in someway.  I have witnessed several people who look like they have the perfect life when in reality they are struggling everyday.  I believe that everyone should have someone they can confide in.  A safe place.  A place to be
