Words You Need To Hear

I'm writing this post really fast because it is something that has been on my mind for a couple days. And between my crazy kids, job interviews, and dog-sitting a super hyper dog, I haven't had time.

Well I'm making time now because I have a feeling someone needs to hear these words.

I have some friends going through some shit. Sorry to curse, but that's what it is. Friends are going through divorces, job loss, pregnancy complications and loss, and so much more.

And so many are putting on the brave face for everyone. I hope that this means that they have a support system they are able to talk about their problems with.

But I know this isn't always the case. And because of that, I want to remind all my friends that my inbox is always open for messages. I say my inbox because my life is crazy and I can't always accept a phone call. But I can always check my messages every so often and reply to you.

And if you don't feel like reaching out, I'll write some words here. You can bookmark this blog post and come back to look at it whenever you are having that rough day.

You are strong. You are going to make it through whatever you are going through. It will suck and at times you will feel like giving up, but don't. Focus on whatever the end goal is and remind yourself that it is worth all the rough stuff.

You are worth more than you believe. Your confidence may be at an all time low right now, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Find a few things you love about yourself and repeat them in the mirror when you are feeling low. Write them down if necessary and add to them when possible.

You deserve to be happy. And that looks different for everyone. So find what makes you happy and focus on that. Maybe that means that you treat yourself to a pedicure every couple weeks or maybe it means that you cook your favorite meals at home; it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you are happy.

This is temporary. Life is full of ups and downs. So this might suck right now, but that will change. I won't say it will get better because I can't guarantee that it will immediately. But it will change. And you  might even look back at this time and realize you needed this to happen to show you something better in your life.

And when you are out of the bad you are going through, make sure you let people know that they can talk to you. Because there will always be someone that needs to talk or hear words similar to this.

So if you want to talk, feel free to message me. If you don't want to talk but need these words, come check out this post.

And know that people are rooting for you. People want to see you succeed. People want to see you happy.

In Debt, One Size Does Not Fit All

We've all heard the saying that some things are just not "one size fits all." Lately, I have come to realize that debt is one of those things. I have been wanting to blog about debt and debt repayment for a while, but I really had to get myself into the mindset that I am going to tackle our debt once and for all before I could do that. But that doesn't mean that I can't give you a couple pieces of advice while I am in my own debt repayment journey, right? Yep, I just felt some eye rolls for that question; it's okay. Here are a couple things that I have realized along our debt journey: 1) We don't all handle money the same way. There are multiple financial advisers and programs out there that advocate only using cash. If you are like me, cash is not a good thing. I know that these programs advocated splitting the cash up into envelopes and only using what is there, but I prefer a more fluid budget. Cash is just a terrible idea for me because when I...

One Thing We Need To Stop

Two posts in one day? Yep, you are super lucky. This one is getting typed up super fast because of something I keep seeing all over social media: Belly Shaming. Every. Single. Day. I see posts in a group I am in where moms are asking how far along they look just based on their bellies. Guess what? No two people will look exactly a like while they are pregnant. My 21 week belly might be equal to your 9 week or 39 week belly. And guess what? That's quite alright! I wish I could say that it only happens in mom's groups or even on social media for that matter. Sadly, that's not the case. I have heard so many stories of women being asked how far along they are. The worst part? Sometimes they aren't even pregnant. And that is no one's business! Seriously, if it isn't your belly, you probably don't have a reason to comment on it's size. We don't just walk up to someone in the store and comment about how big their ears or noses are so why is it okay...

The Dreaded F Word

Wait, wait, wait. Not that word. Stop thinking bad things. I'm talking about Fingerlings. Or you can even change that letter to H for Hatchimals. Or any letter for any of the "big" toys this Holiday season. Why am I hating on them so much? Do I think they are stupid toys? No. I think that some children will absolutely love these toys and play with them daily. I also think that there are children that will play with them for 5 minutes and then never want to touch them again. I don't hate the toy themselves; I hate the craze that has come up because of them. Yes, I understand that they are popular because some children already have them and show them off either in person or on YouTube videos. I also understand that all the big stores have made a huge deal about these little toys as well, which only drives up the interest of young children (and even some adults). I especially hate that there are people out there clearing the shelves and selling the toys fo...
