My Life: Two Years Later

I've been blogging on and off since I was 21 years old and the mom of only one little girl...
I am now 26 years old and have three beautiful little girls :) I have been through ups, downs, and all arounds in my life, but I am just now becoming comfortable in my own skin. I finally feel that I have matured. [It took long enough!]


I will be totally honest in saying that I thought I knew everything my entire life. I grew up as an only child and was very spoiled! I had my first daughter when I was 19 and married and I was, again, very spoiled. However, after I got divorced in 2010, I struggled to find myself. I wasn't sure if I would ever be happy again. I worked as a cocktail server for almost three years and my life was anything but happy. I had my third daughter in the midst of all the chaos going on in my life. She was, though, my saving grace from God. I am so thankful she came into my life at the exact time that she did because if not, I would probably still be working in a bar and have no longterm goals to look forward to. But since my awesome little JClaire came into my life, I have truly come into my own as a mom, friend, daughter, coworker, and everyday citizen. :) I am working at an amazing job as a Dental Hygiene Coordinator and Marketing Director for a General Family Dentist Office. I wake up every morning excited to get to work and start a new day at my career. I no longer feel that sinking feeling in my stomach when i have to wake up and go to work. I am eager to conquer a new task each time I work through the doors at my job and that is a fantastic feeling.

I have finally found the absolute joys in just being a mom. It is the reason I was put on this earth and I have learned to make the most of every minute I am blessed with. I'm thankful for the obstacles I have been faced with because I know they taught me the harsh lessons I needed to learn to make me the best person and mom I can be. I truly love my life at the present moment and I am in the happiest place I've been in a long time.

{LOVE my sweet baby girls!}

Snow in December

I was so spot on with yesterday's post. Around 5pm last night, right before I left work, we started seeing snow flurries! It kept coming down and around 8pm, we noticed it started sticking. I woke up this morning and it was EVERYWHERE! My mom called me at 6:30am to tell me that the roads and bridges were very icy and slick! Then, she called again at 7:45am to tell me she had only made it about 15 miles. OMG! It is craziness in Arkansas when there is snow. So I called in to work and told them I would be late. I was not about to even try to drive in this stupid mess. It still took me way too long to get here. People do NOT know how to drive.

Anyway, that was our first snow of the year. Hopefully there is much more to come because it is beautiful, BUT let's also hope people become more accustom to driving in it. {Smile}

Where Did Fall Go?

It is becoming ridiculously cold as of this week! I like cold weather. I love the comfy boots, the fabulous scarves, the long peacoats, and the babies with footie pjs! But, I hate feeling like my nose and fingertips are going to fall off. I must have blinked and missed Fall! What the heck? I'm just not a jacket person. Even though I love how precious they are, I don't want to feel bound, like I can't get away. 

Last week, it warmed up for a brief moment and I thought it was going to be a taste of the Fall we missed. But NO! It's around 34 degrees and attempting to sleet. I just got an email that it's snowing where I live. Ew! I do not want to drive home in that! I still have yet to buy the girls snow boots, hats, and gloves. I'm not ready for the cold of winter. I missed out on FALL!

Pajama Time!

I bought these adorable matching pajamas for Cami and Jaci Claire when I was about 6 months pregnant with Jaci. They were on sale for..get this.. $1.25!! I almost passed out. And they are so stinkin' cute! Cami's been wearing hers for a while, but Jaci Claire's just now started to fit. She is finally wearing her 6 month clothes! Yay! Actually it's more like her 3-6mo clothes. But at least she's out of the 0-3 months. Poor lil bug. Everywhere I take her, people think she's only about 3 or 4 months old. :) Anyway, my Carrah princess was sleeping through all of these pictures. Boo! Still cute though :)
