My name is Melissa. I’m a wife, mom, oversharer, and a work in progress.

I have been married for over 16 years to a man that still makes me laugh every day. He is also an amazing dad to our son and daughter who are in their teen years.

I love spending time with my family, lazy days watching movies, being in nature, crafting, learning new things, and reading. I love squirrels, cats, the color purple, ice cream, tea, the beauty of nature, and cuddling.

I’m just getting started, but I hope that you will come along with me on this journey and find a place where you can be you and know that you are not alone in whatever life is throwing at you at the moment.

I started this blog to share my life experiences, what I’ve learned along the way, and how I survived when life was so hard that I didn’t know how I could keep going.

I’m a pretty open book and I’ve found that when I talk about the hard parts of my life, people open up and don’t feel so alone in their own hardships. I decided that I wanted to open up to everyone in the hopes that I will help at least one person out there that’s struggling to know they are not alone, they can survive this, and they will find joy again even if that seems impossible at times. 

I also hope that some of my life experiences will bring some entertainment, because life needs more laughter and joy in it and sometimes we just need to hear that we aren’t the only ones who live through some crazy and sometimes embarrassing moments.

My life has seen it’s fair share of hard times, good times and all the times in-between. Weird issues seem to find their way to me and I know I’m not the only one! Some of the topics I might talk about include grief, parenting, mental health, health issues, marriage, natural living, life in general and more. I am not afraid to talk about anything, so if there is something you want to discuss, let me know.
