When I started Eat, Sleep, Love, Repeat in 2014, 3 days before my 24th birthday, I didn't anticipate it would ever get to this point. I had hoped it would, but the thought that I could actually get here was crazy. 4 years later, I realize that I have not really opened up about why I… Continue reading What Does Eat, Sleep, Love, Repeat Mean to Me?
I feel like there is so much that happens in my life and I don't get to share it with you for various reasons. I don't like to blog too much about my personal life because it involves so many people and sometimes they don't like to be in the light. But, I got expressed… Continue reading Storytime – The Day That I Could Not
Okay, so I know we are on the second day of 2017, but something had occurred to me while I was taking the day off yesterday (by taking the day off I mean cleaning, doing laundry, and putting away Christmas stuff). I realized that I have learned a lot this past year. I mean, I think… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned in 2016
I have had the pleasure of having a four day weekend. Four days! I have considered this a mini-vacation and even though I didn't do much of anything, it was nice to have some time off of work (even if I got cabin fever because I was trapped inside my house due to ice.) It… Continue reading Never Ready to Go Back
So, sometimes I don't know how I do it. Currently, I work full-time at my mother's daycare, go to college, write in my blog (okay so it's sporadic at times), help manage a house, and help to home school my nephew. My life is one big juggling act. Sometimes I wonder how in the world… Continue reading How to have free time with a busy schedule
You know that sentiment when it rains, it pours? I found that to be true for yesterday. Usually, I try to keep a positive outlook on life and situations because, what's the point of wallowing in the negative when you can focus on the positive. But I swear yesterday was out to get me. As you know… Continue reading When it rains…
Parents, I read about the article where a young boy died because a daycare worker sat on him and suffocated. This is a hard letter for me to write because, as a mother, this is something that I prayed would never happen to my daughter. Let me assure you, it should never happen. This seems… Continue reading Dear Parents (A letter from a daycare worker)
Recently the Brumbelcrew* moved from our tiny two-bedroom apartment to a new location. The new location? My mother's house. That's right. This husband and wife duo, plus one kid, plus one dog, and a cat moved into two bedrooms at my mother's house. I mean, it's not exactly two rooms...my daughter is living the high… Continue reading What NOT To Do When Moving
My daughter announced to me on Valentine's Day that she has a boyfriend. I was absolutely shocked because, for one, my daughter is one of the most innocent people I know. The idea of her having a boyfriend was something I hadn't expected to deal with for a while. For another thing, my daughter is six.… Continue reading My Daughter’s First Boyfriend
My dearest failures of the past, the present, and the future, I am writing to you today as a fellow failure in life. You see, I want you to know, you are not alone and, chances are, you are not a failure. I guess that's why I started this blog, besides getting readers. You see, all my… Continue reading Dear “Failures” of the Future
