The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Uncategorized · March 30, 2015

Liebster Award

I was recently nominated by Basically Bella, I haven’t done a question and answer thing like this since probably Xanga (anyone remember that blog site?). I hope you enjoy…and if you want to check out new blogs I nominated some people at the bottom. 

1. How did you come to start your blog? 
I actually started my blog when I was still interning in college. Once I graduated I aspired to be one of the great teacher bloggers and create lessons and sell stuff on Teacherspayteachers.  It never actually happened and instead of selling I bought hundreds of dollars worth way too much stuff on there! After having Bennett I started blogging as a way to do something when he was napping, and just a way to connect with the people outside of my house. It has become a little difficult to do every day with a Bennett’s busy social calendar, and I enjoy spending my time with him so blogging takes place when I am not so tired and have a free minute to myself. You can always catch up with me on instagram.

2. What do you look for in other blogs when searching for new ones to follow?

I used to love reading teacher blogs, that was the majority of my feedly feed. Since having a baby and being a stay at home mom, I have since enjoyed reading people’s blogs who have things in common with where I am at in my life. I love reading about DIY projects, favorite baby items, favorite recipes, quick hair styles…anything about your life I enjoy! 

3. What is your favorite book, and if you don’t read, movie? 

I wrote about this about a week ago…I have done a really bad job reading lately. Shame completely on me for not picking up a book and reading it…but really I enjoy spending my time with my baby and my husband and blogging to read a book. I love the Hunger Games and Shopaholic series, but here are some of my favorites as a kid and teen though– 


















4. If you could be anyone from any time in history, who would it be? 

There are quite a few people that I find very intriguing, and who I would love to see how they lived and just be a little bit like them. 

Christopher Columbus- because I want to see how what it was like to actually discover land. How amazing of a job to go search for undiscovered places. I know, I know…it wasn’t all the fun. 

Whitney Houston- for her voice, oh if I could only sing like her!

Princess Diana- I would love to have the heart that she did to help others

Audrey Hepburn- for her amazing class and style

5. What is your favorite love story you know (real or fiction) 

I obviously love my love story…which you can read all about here. One of my favorite in a book is anything from Nicholas Sparks. I love his love stories and any of these stories will send me into a super sap fest. 

6. What’s your one, never fail beauty secret? 

Always wear mascara. šŸ˜‰

7. If you could visit anywhere, where would it be? 

I really would love to go back to England with my hubby. I want to show him everywhere I went when I interned over there, and stay at the same bed and breakfast. I really miss it, and will go back someday!

8. What’s your life philosophy? 



9. What’s your best memory from the past year? 

My sweet baby boy being born on our dating and engagement anniversary (8.14.14)

10. What are three things you never leave home without?

Cell phone, Lipgloss, and Water

11. How do you find serenity when life is crazy? 

Breathe, Laugh, Love.

A Life of Love and Joy
Coffee and Glitter

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! šŸŽ‚

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later šŸ˜‰
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing?

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
