Being a Mom Who Suffers From Migraines
A Little Background On My History With Migraines Every day is a struggle for me as someone who suffers from chronic migraines. I’ve been suffering from them ever since I was 15 years old and they only seem to be getting worse as I get older. Honestly, even sitting down to write this post was a struggle for me and I had to take my medicine just to great rid of a headache so I could get this done. I’ve seen so many neurologists since I started getting my headaches and I’ve tried almost all of the medications on the market that are used to treat migraines. What’s crazy to…

Great Games to Play with One Other Person or Your Whole Family
With the holidays just around the corner, I figured I’d make a list of some fun games that Greg and I have been playing recently. I have to give a lot of credit to my Aunt for introducing us to a bunch of these games and I love that they’re games just Greg and I can play or games we can play with more people. If you’re going to a family gathering for the holidays or it’s just you and your spouse or partner at home, these games are super fun to play!

Great Ways to Stay Connected During a Pandemic
Staying in touch with family and friends has been at the forefront for me since the pandemic began. I wanted to find a way to share all of the pictures I have taken of our new little love with family and friends, even if I can’t see them in person for months! Pictures run in my blood (my poppee was a photographer and my mom lives for taking a million photos) so naturally my camera roll on my phone is FILLED with so many pictures, so I wanted to find ways to share these with those closest to me! I wanted to share all the ways we’ve been able to…

My Thoughts on Internet Privacy and Blogging
When I decided to start this blog, one thought I kept having was how putting myself on the internet could be very scary since the internet can be a frightening place. So when I decided to start a mom-blog I had to take into account my daughter and her privacy. She’s only 6 months old and I don’t feel comfortable publicly putting her picture on the web. I never really thought about this before since I have a private account on instagram and only have followers who are family and friends. Having a public instagram account has made me rethink everything I post. Now, when I plan a post with…
