Fall is a beautiful time of year. It’s the time of year where the world gets a little quieter, the hustle and bustle of the summer months is left behind. One of the best describing words I can think of for fall is COZY. When I think of cozy, I think of warm apple cider,… Continue reading Fall cleaning is the new Spring cleaning
Relationships and marriages are hard and prior to contrary belief, they seem to get harder the more time you’ve been together. I always thought that after you’ve been with your partner for so long, things would be seamless. You live together, you know each other almost as well as you know yourself.

I am more emotional these days than I have been in a long time. I went through such a period of sadness, then another long period of strength. Now I am in this intense season of gratitude. I look around at my life at this current point and sometimes it is hard to hold back… Continue reading Overwhelmingly Grateful
It has been 273 days since the night my husband came home and told me he wanted a divorce. That is 9 months since my whole world changed.
