From the mind of the whipper snap.

I can't live with you, but I can't live without you I can't let you stay, but I can't live if you go away I don't know just how it goes, all I know is I can't live with you. I'm having a hard time I'm walking a fine line between hope and despair... You may think that I don't care. But I traveled a long road, to get a hold of my sorrow I tried to catch a dream, but nothing's what it seems.  Love is saying baby it's all right When deep inside you're really petrified Lover turns to hater on this escalator.  I can't live with you, but I cant live without you I can't breathe if you stay, but I can't bear you to go away I don't know what time it is, all I know is I can't live with you.  Were stuck in a bad place We're trapped in a rat race and we can't escape Maybe there's been some mistake. We're trying to make a high score We're walking through a closed do

Glow-Getter: A  driven busy gal who strives to achieve her goals in life while attaining a beautiful glow both inside and out.  I saw this and it grasped my attention like a child’s hand on candy in a candy dish. I have always felt driven; I may not know where the hell I am going, but I’ve always felt the drive and regardless of the obstacles during the journey, I will get there. I feel like I have this constant burning passion that’s hard to fulfill so I’m all over the place. I want to be a killer mom, but i also want to be madly in love and see the world. How am I going to manage all of these things? I never learned to juggle.  I think it’s a decision, right? Things aren’t just going to happen and fall in your lap. It takes effort and acting on your desires. If you don’t like your job, you have to actively look for a new one. If you love someone and want to be with them, you have to put in the work and do your part to see that happens. If you want your child potty-trained - they’

To Max and Meredith: "When I count my blessings, I count you twice..." I love my kids more than words can describe. Seriously, I think until you have kids you never realized how much you could really love a person so much. I mean, they cry, throw fits, they're expensive, they puke, pee and poop on you, but here you are....loving the shit out of them. My daughter has literally puked IN my mouth, guys. INSIDE OF MY MOUTH. I couldn't love her less, though. My son argues about almost everything I have to say, but I couldn't love him less.  I wanted to be a mom as far back as I can remember. I remember buying the Barbies that also came with the babies  and the little baby carriers - lady friend readers (or guy friend readers, I'm not judging) you know what I'm talking about? I also LOVED playing house and I would make my brother play, too and I just KNOW he loves me more because of that. All of this being said, my children do not consume my entire being

Having two children is kind of like a blender without a lid. You are busy all the time and sometimes it's pure chaos. I never knew that I would love the cause of chaos and the chaos itself so much. <3 Since my last blog, we added another child into the mix. Our sweet baby girl, Meredith, was born in December. She was very much planned and took almost a year to conceive. I did NOT want another Winter baby, but that is what God had in mind for us. Thank you God, because she is perfect! Even though she was planned, I struggled a lot with "letting go" of my first baby and the idea of sharing my time. The very night we found out I was pregnant, I held Max in bed and cried and cried and thought "What in the world did we do!?" So many emotions as my pregnancy went on and things I worried about. My delivery with Max was horrific - was this going to be the same!? Turns out, on the day she was born all of those worries went out the door and now seemed so silly. My

In honor of Mother's Day this Sunday and the fact that I haven't wrote a blog in ages, I thought that I would write about being a mom. The last time I wrote a blog, my son was 4 months old and now he is 2 years and 4 months old. So much has happened since then. I had always wanted to be a mom and as it turns out, it's not a bad gig. I really love it. By all means, it has been one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but definitely the most rewarding. He amazes me every single day and I cannot get over how smart such a tiny human can be. He's quite the mouth piece, quick-witted, and he even throws out sarcasm sometimes. How can a 2 year old be so sarcastic? He knows exactly what he's doing most of the time. There are days I want to beat him to pieces because he tests me beyond my limits. Don't worry, I've never actually beat him. I mean, sometimes he acts like I have beaten him and that he's dying, but I have never even came close. I am a span

For those of you that don't know, I am a new mother and an even newer wife! 2015 has yet to disappoint - so many blessings! I have been wanting to write a blog ever since we welcomed our new baby into this world, but time has really gotten away from me because that baby is now 4 months old! Time sure does fly... Again for those of you who didn't know. We didn't know the sex of our baby until the very moment HE came into the world. I knew I was carrying a boy, I didn't have a doubt in my mind. After 30 hours of being in induced labor, we finally welcomed our little Maxwell Dwight into the world at 11:39PM on Friday. Honestly, I expected to see this gunk covered, wrinkly, tiny human, but he was so much cuter than I thought - he was the most beautiful tiny human I had ever laid my eyes on. Through your pregnancy you will find that people tell you how it's going to be or their experiences, so that's all you have to go off of especially if you're a first time m
