Hubby and I have been married for 2 years! Holy cow….time has flown by! So much has happened in that 2 year span that it makes my head spin sometimes. I still am in shock that I found someone that loves me unconditionally each and every day (even on the hard days). Our wedding was […]
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown – 3/5
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black is the latest book that I have finished, and I have to say, it really kept me engaged throughout the book. This is a stand alone novel (as of now) that centers around vampirism. Holly Black has said that she is considering a sequel but it was […]

These 3 words have change my outlook on my life. In every way, shape, and form. Because I work from home and am a stay at home mama (2 jobs really), I needed to change my perspective on my day to day. Not only has this phrased helped me be a better mom and employee, […]
Coop’s First Christmas
