I was born in 1981 which places me in the generational gap. I am the oldest of the Millennials and the youngest of the Gen Xers. I have tendencies towards both demographics, but when it comes to current trends I lean a little more millennial than X. My current bandwagon I am driving with horses…

If there is one thing I believe in as a mom blogger, it is commitment to truth and portraying my life as accurately as I can.

We are going to stretch closets into TWO weeks because I know you guys (if you’re like me) have more than one closet that needs to be cleaned out. There are a few rules I like…
Read MoreYou read that title and now you probably hate me. I know, I know; going through your kids’rooms is about as fun as a root canal. They NEED that rock they found outside a year and a half ago. That stuffed animal that’s been stuffed under the bed and not missed for six months? It’s…
Read MoreI once read that you should separate your chores/to-do lists into categories to make them less burdensome. I’m almost positive my list would look something like this: 1.
