A Lot Has Happened, A Lot Has Changed

So, if you had told me over a year ago that I would quit blogging and that I would not continued, I would have looked at you like you were crazy.....but, somehow one thing or another in life got in the way and I stopped posting and blogging about what is going on in my crazy world.

There are certainly things that have happened and to be frank, the entire world has been turned upside down.

So, what's been happening???

COVID-19, it is a virus that is also known as the coronavirus and it is serious. We are actually on forced stay at home orders, businesses are closed (unless deemed essential) and we are literally stuck in our homes doing everything. Even schools and colleges are closed.

Obviously, I had considered home education for my children in the past and to be honest, I feel like my children are able to learn more in less time than if they were in school. I hear/see other parents complaining about this time, but I am enjoying every single minute of precious time that I get with my family.

As for my life, well grad school and being a GA (graduate assistant) are not what I had expected or thought that they would be. Thankfully I am working for an awesome professor who is kind and encouraging rather than someone that is hard to work for. I am so thankful with my placement and with everything that is going on for me.

That being said, it feels like the world is changing in ways that could be overwhelming or scary if it were not for the constant comforts that I find at home.

I'm back and just wanted to say "hey." I will get some fun stuff up over the next few days including some skincare, some children's activities (we've been doing a lot) and some fun stuff that I have been researching and wanting to write about.

Welcome back to my world and my crazy life!! You're going to love this journey with me if you choose to come along for the ride.

Bra Review -- Comparison of True & Company, Spanx, and Ruby Ribbon

Image
So as someone whose cup runneth over (quite literally) finding a good bra has always been a struggle. That being said, I have gotten a lot of bras over the years that are nice and have held up well by shopping with the usuals....Victoria's Secret and Soma. That being said, I have never had a comfortable bra. Of course, there are bras that are more comfortable than others, but none are fully comfortable. So I set out with the goal of being able to find the right bra for myself. Here are my comparisons of some of the new bras that offer you both support and comfort.  Ruby Ribbon Original Demiette , $59  I chose the Ice Blue photo that is featured here. I normally wear a size 40 DDD or a 38 G. I chose the size 40 per the stylist's suggestion. The material is very thick and does not have much stretch. It is overall a nice bra and is more comfortable than the traditional underwire that I was used to. That being said, it is not love. The band has a weird rubber materia...

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Dieting

So, I'm fat. There I said it. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, I want to discuss my failures in the dieting world. I have failed at literally every single diet that I have ever tried. It does not matter what it is. I have no self control and pretty much just suck at dieting. To be honest, this year I have just kind of given up and have decided to work on maintaining my weight. I kept seeing posts for a certain online diet program that was out of my modest budget. I researched it and learned that it uses cognitive behavioral therapy to teach you how to lose weight and keep it off. This took me on my own adventure for a program that would offer me the same skills and information, but remain within my budget. What I found was the Beck Diet Solution . So, I started reading the book this morning with the goal of finishing it over the weekend so that I can get started with the workbook on Monday. Beachbody On Demand just released the workout that I have been wanting t...

2019 Goals for A Better and Happier Life

When I was challenged with thinking about resolutions, I said "screw that!!" Resolutions are kind of a joke and are something that I am happy that I am no longer struggling to hold onto. Let's be honest with ourselves for a minute, each new year we set resolutions and then wonder why we do not accomplish them by the end of the year. I think that one of the main reasons is that we call them resolutions which  means that we are resolved to doing certain activities. However, by simply changing the language and going into 2019 with goals, I know that I can accomplish the dreams that I have set out to accomplish. So, here are my goals for 2019 and a small action plan for each one of these goals so that I can create a future for myself in a better place for 2019. Goal #1 -- More Time with Family I want to have more time with my children, want to play more board games, do more crafts and activities, and spend more time doing special things with the four most important young...
