Sunday Happy
Hello! I really fell out of the writing game, but I’m back! I’d love to be doing so many things with my blog, but I’m just not in that season right now. I tried to do that a few years ago and I got burnt out. Being a mom will always come first and I…

It’s been awhile, hello! Life has been moving at lighting speed it seems and I can’t believe that it’s November. Charlie is seven today and it’s hard to wrap my head around that. I really wish time would slow down in all areas. I’ve decided to put this Sunday Happy on Substack now, along with…

Sunday Happy
I woke up this morning and realized I ran out of coffee beans. I put on some sweats (it was actually chilly enough!) and went off to Perc. Since, I was already here for beans why not treat myself to some coffee and their yogurt bowl, write a little bit and plan out the week…

Hello! How is everyone enjoying their summer so far? I feel like summer is racing by and I can’t wrap my head around that it’s almost July. The start of the summer for us was such a treat with a trip to Lovango in the US Virgin Islands to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. If…

Our Anniversary Trip to Lovango Resort & Beach Club
Where do I even begin? From the moment we stepped on the boat to go to Lovango, we were speechless. First of all, the location is out of this world. Lovango is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, just a short ferry ride away from St. Thomas and St. John. I felt like we were…

Sunday Happy From Maine
Hello, from Maine! As I’m writing this tonight, I’m currently drinking my tea with the windows open, listening to the rain, while everyone else is asleep. I had one goal for this long trip away and that was to relax. I know, kind of laughable with three kids in tow, but parts of it have…
