Sleeping Beauty had it wrong…

I think we all know the story of Sleeping Beauty. Princess Aurora was cursed as a baby by a vindictive sorceress that she would prick her finger on a spindle at the age of 16 and die. Then the fairies changed the curse that she wouldn’t die, but fall asleep until her prince would wake…

Rock a Bye Baby

My kids were watching this show called Bunkd’ the other day and in the show the kids found a bird egg and were taking care of it. The one girl proceeded to start rocking it and sing Rock-a-Bye and the other character immediately stops her from singing it saying that it wouldn’t be good for…

My circus…my monkeys…err..blessings

Yesterday started off as any other day. Alarm went off at 5am. Got a short 20 minute workout in. Woke up my husband and then woke up the kids. That’s when the day went a little wonky. My 10 year old is going through the wonderful years know as puberty. And some days that can…

two cents…

I like how Facebook puts up the memories on your page to remind you of past pictures or instances you shared. This was one of mine that is a great reminder and I had to share it again! About a year ago, I was having a rough day. Trying hard to get the house clean…

Someone slow this train down!!

My two older girls started school today. It seems that life doesn’t seem to move quite as fast until events like birthdays and the start of school come. Then you look back and go “What?!? How did we get here already?” This hit me more when my oldest, Jzzmyne, who is starting 5th grade, barely…
