Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Motherhood
Read moreFrom ages fifteen to twenty-one, I suffered from severe depression and anxiety. Over the course of that time, I visited with countless doctors and therapists.

I’d Rather Have Peace
Read moreRoman & I went for a walk today for the first time in awhile. We’d been a bit home-bound lately. First I was sick with that kidney thing and then I was prepping for our Halloween party. So we ventured out today and I was taken back by the difference a couple of weeks makes. Last time we were out it felt like summer & today there was a harsh…

House of Sass: Online Artist Collective

We all had a great time with lots of yummy food, laughs, and a fun costume contest. My monster eye-ball deviled eggs were a smash! The gorgeous decorations from Papir Vendage…

Baby’s Been… (Morning Light)
Read moreI always thought of six-months as this magical, far-off land that would take a lifetime for us to reach. We would “get there” someday but it would take a long, long time — but suddenly, here we are, just a couple weeks away. My tiny little baby is not a tiny, little baby. He is becoming a boy. He has a personality, oh my, does he have a personality. I…

Read moreYou guys! I am so excited! This weekend we’re hosting our 1st Annual Halloween Party! I’ve been wanting to do this for ages. Our house is tiny and we can’t fit too many so it will just be my immediate family… but still. I’m so happy it’s finally happening!

Roman’s Favorite Teether
Read moreIt’s official! Roman James is in full-blown-teething-mode. Everything goes into his mouth — everything! I’m running myself ragged trying to make sure that the right things are going in there and he’s not even crawling yet. Heaven help me. 😉 Lucky for me, Virginie from Creations Rapapoux sent me the best teething necklace. I am a big fan of teething necklaces as I’ve written before. Not only are they great…
