Zachy These Days

Our sweet Zachary has grown so much and I just wanted to do a little update!

Swim 2017

I'm loving the swim styles this year. 

I love simplicity and basic colors. 

Chores

Two words: CHILD LABOR. 

Haha joking, joking. 

It takes a lot of work to keep a very busy household of 8 functioning. 

In our family, everyone has to pitch in. Everyone needs to participate in keeping our house clean. 

By Women

International Women's Day, originally called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. It commemorates the movement for women's rights.

I spent a lot of my life feeling like I didn't have a voice. 

I don't want my daughter to feel that way.

I will do my best to teach her how powerful she is, how she deserves equality in all aspects of her life, and how she will change the world. 

I also encourage everyone to focus their attention on the amazing women owned-and-run business...

Parenting: Real Life

Today, I made my child cry.

Today, I didn't do the right thing. I didn't calmly listen. 

I lost my temper, I yelled at my sweet, sweet Wyatt.

I screamed at him because he didn't follow my directions. 

I justified it by reminding myself that I'm sick and tired, he didn't listen the four previous times I asked him to get dressed for school, he was messing with Roman, he was blah blah blah.

Then I was so wrapped up in my own selfish justification, that I stayed mad for almost an hour. 

Laser Treatment for Acne

 The last year has been a rough one for my skin. 

I've been to multiple dermatologists, who all say it's hormonal. I've tried multiple 

medications and topical treatments.
