I feel like my blog-stars are aligning, and just in time. Since I quit my job, I’ve been committed to my online presence and this little biz I got growing. I can honestly say I love it here (on my couch, on the internet ha)!
But I owe this one to Taylor at Simple Living Nursing Mama! (Thanks girl :)) She has such a wholesome and honest perspective. It’s so nice to see real nice people sharing real nice (& positive) stories. Go check her out for a daily dose of appreciation!
I absolutely love that she, too, values the simple life. And her take on motherhood is just refreshing. With all the struggles, it is easy to overlook the joy. I love her bit about Simple Living & Motherhood. As mamas, we have so much to be grateful for. That really IS enough.
One of my new fave (and already nominated) bloggers…
I want to shed some light on The Cinnamon Mom. She has already been nominated, and rightly so! Not only is her website flawless, but she shares it all. I have been devouring everything she puts out there. She is busy, and she handles it beautifully. On top of that, her blog is still in its infancy, but you would never know. She’s a pro!
As a newbie to the stay/work-at-home mom scene, I need all the guidance I can get. She recently went above and beyond (in my eyes) and made Green Eggs & Ham with her girls! Something so fun and simple, and too easily pushed aside. It was such an inspiring project that helped remind me to create fun for my little one.
These are the sort of experiences that kept me on Pinterest for all these years. Taking time to enjoy creative efforts and make life more fun!

Jambalaya!
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why?
Mykonos, Greece. Tano and I went there on a cruise, and loved it so much. If we ever have a wedding, it will be there! The hospitality is almost better than the views.

I like birds with arms.

It was my husband’s idea to start a dad blog! I was so into it, and he lost his spark. So it became a mom blog by me haha! In a year, I see myself supporting my family (again) through blog things and my writing services.
