Hi! Happy Monday! I hope you all are having a great day so far. This weekend we celebrated Stephen’s squadron’s 100th anniversary.

You guys… I’m getting so fired up over this blog and LIFE. I just want to do all. the. things. So I am! I will tell you though, if you’re an aspiring blogger, this is not the “suggested way” of doing it. The most successful bloggers/influencers focus on one main thing and build their business […]

It has been about a month now since I decided to be social media free on the weekends and let me tell you… It has been great! It’s honestly pathetic I’m even having to say any of that. That I’ve had to ‘limit’ myself from it or that creating this limit for myself has had a great impact […]
