Brilliantly basic.
I’ve only been a SAHM for a little over a year. It has been a journey worth travelling because I’ve learned so many things about myself as a person, a mother, and even a wife. I learned that I was chasing a lot of dreams seeking fulfillment before; and all along I had all the…

I am not a winter person AT ALL. Not even a little bit. I grew up in the north, Connecticut to be specific. When I turned 18 I migrated only 3.5 hours to Philadelphia. Winter always sucks in the North. When my husband and I decided to move to Georgia I was SUPER excited because…
