A few weeks ago I asked my twitter followers and my Instagram followers what they wanted to know about me. Here are the questions that came my way! Q: How do you do it all and stay motivated and start so many businesses? –royaldeeA: Yikes. Loaded question. As you know in 2009 I opened my…
Am I the only one that has days where you have hundreds of hundreds of words that you want to write down? That keep rolling around in your head and it’s never at the opportune time or frankly, you can’t find the motivation to get up and write them down? I have so much on…

You have seen me post about this before, I know. I did it last year but since I just made a fresh new batch because we just ran out, I thought that it was a fabulous time to post it again and give my recap on the last one and repost the DIY because I…
And here I sit gently rocking A in where she peacefully and sweetly sleeps soundly to the movement of the rocker and Ryan’s gentle, quiet hum of a snore, with a soft warm glow lighting up the room. The dogs nestled at the foot of the bed and my heart becomes still and full, that…
I have this thing about connecting with others. I love it. I really do, but when it’s on something I’m not already on like a separate website, etc. I never remember to go back or if I do I will go like once a month, it’s sad but true. I’m not sure how many of…

Really this post is for me, kind of like a “here it is, it’s OK to be ME in this space type pep-talk.”I had this realization lately that sometimes I don’t feel like I share the whole me in this space. Sometimes it’s because I don’t want to deal with the judgement, other times I…

When I had just recently had A this last November my mom brought me these scones and they are absolutely delicious. After asking her for the recipe I made them many times and know I will continue to do so. They are a fan favorite for those I have made them for too. You seriously…
On October 18, 2012, two days shy of a month before I had A, I had a conversation with my very dear friend Candy from Verte Photo. I told her how I couldn’t wait for A to finally be here, to hold her and have her in my arms. That’s when she told me something…
For this months link-up I decided it would be fun to tell you a few things you probably didn’t know about Ryan and I. —- The first time Ryan came to visit me in Kansas, June of 2006, he rode on a Greyhound bus from Colorado to Kansas then back again.—- —- We had our…
How easy is it to get caught up in the number of followers you have, page views you get or comments you receive? Easy. Very easy. And sometimes once we are caught up in those things we start losing some passion, some momentum and our reason for blogging in the first place gets overshadowed. We’ve…
