As a fat girl, I am constantly thinking about how my gigantic-ness is going to get in the way of something or someone else. I am forever wondering what’s happening in the minds of the people around me. I also admit I am so guilty of the jealousy that comes from not being the skinny […]
So this morning as I was changing the babies diaper I started wondering… How many hours of my life have I spent changing diapers? So I put her down for her nap, pulled out the calculator and started doing some simple Math. If you figure that it takes just about 3 minutes to change […]
I was at Target a few weeks ago in the cleaning supplies section. I had been going back and forth between two aisles looking a specific kind of soap for the all natural cleaning supplies post. I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That’s when these two women entered the next aisle over and […]
I was a little girl with a big crush! I had been in love with the same boy since I was 5- when I found him crying under the Missionary table at church. Growing up I was sure he would be the ONE. God must have made him for me. He was everything I ever wanted. […]
