Since most of you who follow this blog know me personally and follow me on facebook, you know what I’m talking about. I’M FREAKING PREGNANT!!!! After three […]
Breathing through my frustrations
**Note: This was actually written on April 3, but I never posted it. I’m posting it now, nearly a month later just because I felt I needed to. I have too many drafts that go unpublished, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Better late than never, right?** So, rough couple of days for […]

Natural Endings and New Beginnings
I’ve been following a new astrology blog called Mystic Mamma. (Yes, I’ve been diving into astrology a lot lately.

Simple Life Changes That Lead to a Healthier You – Food
My health has improved incredibly over the last few years, and I know that it is due to several life habits I’ve adopted.
