Have you ever tried to find a needle in a haystack…it’s pretty much near impossible. That’s how I’m sure many people felt from that show Long Lost Family on TLC. What if I told you, I pretty much had my own episode! No...

Summer has reached its tail end and school is in site! This episode I chat with my favorite rising 3rd grader as she gears up for another exciting school year. Be warned…she is well past her bedtime.

It’s been a busy week and my mental is on overload!! Not to mention gearing back up for school, house projects, and the normal never ending to do list taking up mental space. This mom could use a mom-cation. Instead...
