I'm trying not to take myself or life too seriously....
I mean why not act like a kid and find and embrace the funny things in life? I am only {almost} 27.... that's still a kid right? Heck...80 is still 80 years young if you want it to be.
well, here is my attempt today....
when nothing seems to calm down your VERY tired, whiny 3 yr old...bust out your best fake baby cry! {it either works or goes terribly WRONG}
Today, it worked!
OR
went terribly WRONG... now she whines so that I will do it so SHE can laugh at me!
Dream On Momma
A peek into my life as a dreamer, mother, and wife.

“With Hope, The odds don’t matter” - Heather's story
In this life we are faced with many
trials.
Many are small character building trials, while others are
life-changing in an instant.
I have had the privilege of talking with a very
strong woman who has been given a
life-changing trial and I want to share her
story with you.
Her name is Heather. She is a loving
mother and wife.
At 36 years of age, just after
giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Lily, Heather was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma and given 15 months to live.
Nearly 8 years later, she is here to
tell her story of being a SURVIVOR.
-
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive and deadly form of cancer that occurs in the tissue that covers the majority of your internal organs. Most patients don’t live 2 years past their diagnosis.
The cause: Exposure to Asbestos. Learn more HERE
Always remember, someone can be fighting a harder battle than you think.
Be kind, love one another.
