Wisdom Wednesday

Hey Guys! The past month or so has been tough. My family has been going through a tough time, and my boyfriend has been working 2 jobs, which means he is home less. Often times when he is home, he is sleeping (which I don't blame him for). I remember back to when we learned he was going to work nights, I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I was hopeful of our new beginning. Then I learned...

Cornbread Recipe

Hey Guys! So growing up there are a few recipes that my boyfriend loves. If you read my recipe post last week, I posted a recipe for beans, and I mentioned that freshly baked cornbread is always on hand with this dish. I usually bake cornbread in large batches and freeze some for later, because it is so handy to have, and it goes with so many dishes. I found this recipe while looking up 1 year old...

Hey Guys! When Kayden was born, my boyfriend wasn't working at the time. He had recently left his job, and we didn't have an income coming in.

I remember Kayden going through a sleep regression at around 18 months, I had no sleep, he was always hyper at 1 am, and I felt like a hot mess. I read something online that said if your child wants to be held embrace it, because there will be a day when your...

Hey Guys! So today I am going to share a beans recipe. I got this recipe from my boyfriends mother. We were going through a hard time and we didn't know what to make. I called her up to get some ideas and she told us to make beans, it brought back great memories for my boyfriend since he ate beans growing up. It is such a simple recipe, but so delicious! It has turned into one of my favorites. Ingredients Beans...

Wisdom Wednesday

This right here, speaks to me. As you all know, I took a much needed break from blogging. I need time to get adjusted to some life changes and not push myself to do more then I can handle. As life throws challenges at us, as mother's, it is very easy to stretch ourselves thin. I am constantly repeating the above phrase to myself. My boyfriend use to always tell me to relax, and to take things...

A small update

Hey Guys! The past few weeks have been so hectic, that I couldn't blog, so I wanted to apologize. I just wanted to update you all so we are all on the same page.

My schedule is still hectic with him working nights and the past few days he has been getting ready for his new job so we have been running around. I...
