It’s been two months since quit whole 30. I have been feeling good still, not great. But certainly better than pre w30. I can certainly clean up my diet a bit, but it’s a work in progress. I learned on whole 30 just how difficult it is to work out and do whole 30. I’m … Continue reading Controlling my MS
Six years ago I got married to my ex husband. Four years ago I found out that I was getting a divorce. I still can’t believe how fast time goes. I always feel something weird on this day. I can’t completely explain it. It is some version of happiness, sadness, failure, and success all in … Continue reading September 22
Today I had a small breakthrough in my life as a divorced woman. My ex sent money (above and beyond child support that he pays every month) to help with all the extra expenses that have been going on lately!

I thought I would marry the man of my dreams, raise kids together, watch them grow together in our dream house sitting on a cool 40 acres of private land. But as life would have it, plans are meant to be broken. There are … Continue reading To my kids future step-Mom
For some reason people are so eager to learn about my diagnosis with MS. It is so funny to me because I absolutely do not care. The people who ask do surprise me, but never offend me. But at the same time, it was easily the worst day of my life. So why are so … Continue reading My MS diagnosis
Today was the 7th day of school, and the first time this year I have cried at drop off. Don’t get me wrong, I feel lots of emotions on the first day, but it’s not an overwhelming sense of sadness. Our summers are not like we just spend a bunch of time together. I work … Continue reading Day 7 playground tears
Photo: outtakes from my favorite photo sesh with my boys. Chaos that is my beautiful life 💙 I would say nobody grows up and imagines their life and thinks “I want to have kids, but I want to do it alone!” We don’t set out to be single moms, but so many woman end up … Continue reading Single Moms
