So a while back I joined Shipt. For those who may not know what it is, Shipt is a grocery/product delivery service. So far, I have only done small orders as I wanted to get used to the app and feeling out how it would go. So far, I love it! I wanted to make…
Whenever someone thinks or says that SAHM's or SAHP's don't do anything all day. HA! WRONG! First of all, let's just go through just an example of a typical day. There are days when there is even more (and sometimes maybe even less - although not likely) to do but this is how my day…
So there's this thing I've been dealing with since having children. It's a skin condition called melasma. It is also known as hyperpigmentation but Melasma is normally due to the hormones released during pregnancy or in some cases, women on birth control.

It's almost as if everyone seems to be trying to achieve or portray that they're achieving. For instance, say…
As soon as you become a mom, you quickly learn that what was once super easy choices are now toss-ups between super important things. Eat or take a shower, take a shower or clean the house. Take a nap or clean. Go to the park since you know your kids REALLY need to get out…
It came out of nowhere. I was fine on Monday, and then Tuesday morning my throat hurt, and I was sneezy and sniffly. I felt crappy but as the day went on, it only got worse. The next morning, I woke and still wasn’t feeling well but no sick days for moms. I have no…
