Let me reintroduce myself...

I saw this amazingly inspiring post over on Lulu & Sweet Pea's blog and knew that this was a direction I needed to go with my post tonight. I was just rambling last night about all of these things that I used to be and gave virtually no regard to who I am now. So tonight I am going to share things about myself that you may or may not want to know about me. Here goes nothing...


  • I am a mother to a 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son. 
  • I am a stepmother to a 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son. (Yes I wrote step in front of mother but not in front of my relationship with them, because they are my children and the word step doesn't define my relationship with them.)
  • My Mister is in the military so I am Household Six 
  • I'm a stay at home mom. I don't love it, but I am sure I will miss it when I go back to work. 
  • I'm a graduate student and will be starting my 30 hour/week internship next week. Good luck me! 
  • I love nail polish and to paint my nails. I hate chipped polish and I just can't get down with it.
  • I love makeup! It makes me feel beautiful.
  • I have deep set eyes and cannot pull of winged eyeliner. Therefore, I live vicariously through my daughter and her winged liner. 
  • I have naturally wavy hair and I used to hate it. Now I hate that I'm losing my hair. I definitely took it for granted. 
  • I love self help books and legal/thriller fiction books. 
  • I never wanted to move outside of my home state and then I got the opportunity to do so. We moved back and I'm itching to move somewhere else. 
  • I rarely feel content. I need to fix that. 
  • Cuss words are my favorite thing to say when I'm around other adults. 
  • I love hoop earrings. The bigger the hoop the better 
  • I am obsessed with minivans. I love my minivan (and the fact that she's paid off) and will drive her until she quits on me, but I am always checking out other minivans anticipating which one I will get next. Haha
  • I can be impatient and bossy. I assume it has to do with my birth order (first born) and the fact that I'm a Leo. 
  • I am my own worst critic 
  • My life has revolved around my mister and the herd for so long it is scary to start focusing on me. 
  • Target is my jam! I would give them all our money if we didn't have bills to pay
  • Amazon prime is the second best thing to Target. 
  • I'm funny, witty and I always laugh at my jokes
  • To-do lists are my favorite thing to write. My least favorite thing to write are papers, but I do it. 
  • Cooking is something I have gotten better with over the years, but I don't always enjoy it. 
  • Grocery shopping is my foe 
  • I wish I was bilingual, but I'm not so that sucks 
  • Colored ink and new planners/calendars make my heart happy! 
  • I spend too much money on eyeshadow palettes
  • Shopping cures any bad day
  • Handbags are my weakness
  • Organizing and rearranging things makes me feel accomplished
  • Clutter and I are not friends 
  • I don't enjoy change, but I don't like things always being the same 
  • I'm difficult and complicated at times so it seems like I'm hard to please. Reality is I'm not content and I don't always know what I want.
  • Running a household is a lot of work, who knew adulting wasn't that much fun?! 
  • I overthink things and I often overshare 
  • I raise my voice at my kids
  • I'm not perfect but I'm me and that's where I'm going to end this tonight. 
Until next time, 

xoxo
