A little over a year and a half ago, I decided it was time to make a change in my life. I was close to 240 lbs and felt gross all the time.

So I decided that day (October 31st, 2016 to be exact) to set a goal to run a marathon, I signed up for the 19th Flying Pig Marathon and started training... kind of.

Read MoreAs we were looking for places to stay in the St. Petersburg area, we consistently were seeing high priced hotels and condos. Sadly for a short five day, four night, family vacation we weren’t able to stomach paying seven or eight hundred dollars just for an eighth story room without a view of the ocean. Although we would have loved to be able to see the ocean from our room, we decided to look away from the beach for an affordable place to stay.

Read MoreThe past several months I have been challenged to live in the present, finding joy in each moment. I’m finding that this is not as easy as it sounds.
Read MoreWe moved into our house more than two years ago. At that point, it was freshly painted and carpeted, and we decided to not customize the design much more at that time. But, when we found out that little Blakey was on the way, we knew that we needed to update her (We didn't know gender at that time) bedroom into the perfect relaxation space and beautiful nursery, just for baby. We decided early on that we'd go a bit more neutral with the walls and design as we weren't finding out the gender until birth. We did a two-tone gray wall with a wood rail to separate it.

Read MoreOnce I had my son Adrian, I realized how many products there are on the market geared toward babies. There are so many things to try that it can be pretty exciting but it can also be overwhelming. When thinking about which products are my fave five, the criteria became, if lost or damaged, what would I repurchase? Though I enjoy many products, I have no problem trying something else out and easily replacing them but these are pretty much staples in my day to day life and I recommend they be staples in both yours and your baby’s life as well!
