    Still Standing

    When the world has fallen out from under me I’ll be found in you, STILL STANDING… I’m struggling. I’ve been hesitant to post anything about what’s been going on in my life but as I posted just a few weeks ago… I want to be honest for my readers. I want other momma’s, just like me, to come across my blog and be like… “Yes. That’s me, I’m NOT alone.” These past few months I have felt like my entire world was just crumbling before me, every time I turned around something else was falling apart and I couldn’t find my way back out of the darkness. There have been…

    26 Weeks – Baby Bird

      How far along? 26 weeks Total weight gain/loss: I have finally gained some weight… 3 whole pounds! Maternity clothes? Yep… this shirt isn’t though (obviously) Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie!

    As My Tears Fall…

    One of the things that draws me to some of the blogs that I read is the honesty I see from other mommy bloggers like me. There are thousands upon thousands of mommy blogs out there, and many of them you never get to see or read about their real mommy moments… and shouldn’t that be what we write about the most? I’m going to try and be honest today, as honest as I can be… I NEED to let it out and I NEED prayers, but this isn’t just about bad mommy moments. Our family is struggling, J is never home, not because he doesn’t want to be but…

    24 Weeks – Baby Bird

      How far along? 24 weeks Total weight gain/loss: I haven’t weighed myself lately, so I honestly don’t know… maybe I’ve gained a pound or two haha! Maternity clothes? Yep… although the black shirt I’m wearing in this belly update isn’t maternity, it’s actually one I reviewed HERE! Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Well, I have been sleeping OK… though last night this little bird of mine kept me all night with her feet in my ribs! Best moment this week: Viability! Movement: Typically lots of movement, especially in the evenings or when I’m sitting down with one of the older kids in my lap… she had me worried yesterday though,…

    Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter Review + Giveaway

    I love using pure organic products for skin care, I’ve always thought… why bother with lotions and other creams that have additives and scents you DON’T need when you can use something pure? For years I’ve been a coconut oil momma… I use it for EVERYTHING. It’s even a great cloth diaper safe cream! And people, it works wonders! So, I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to try this shea butter, I’ve read lots of recipes for different homemade soaps and creams, and many of them called for the shea butter. However, being the busy mommy and blogger that I am, I just hadn’t had time to try…
