    How We Went To Disney World & Other Activities In Orlando For Under $1,000!

    07/23 /3 Comments

    Okay I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal but if you have ever gone on a magical Disney vacation you know that it adds up quickly! The tickets alone for a family of 3 one day with no hopper will cost you around $400! So how did we do 4 days of travel, 1 day at Disney, 1 day at Sea World and Breakfast with Goofy and Friends for under $1,000? Points! I knew we were planning ahead of time and started saving every point possible. I have Expedia and am a Gold Member so I was diligent in booking all my travel (corporate) through them to rack…

    I Didn’t Light A Candle, A Poem For My Unborn Baby…

    07/14 /No Comments

    I wrote this some time ago and while it isn’t October, there is always a time to honor and remember. I didn’t light a candle I let the memory live inside It is not that I forgot Because I couldn’t if I tried Time has passed But the pain is still real No matter how much I try I imagine you still Your tiny hands Tiny feet The bundle of joy I never had a chance to meet I know one day We will walk together I will hold you and love you And it will be forever I didn’t light a candle….

    Not My Childhood, How My Parents Have Made Me A Better Parent.

    07/13 /3 Comments

    Childhood looks vastly different for each of us. Charles Dickens said, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Parenting is the easiest and the toughest job. Easy because it works on mutual love and instinctual care but tough because a single mistake can cause lifelong scars. With that said, these are things that my child will never understand: Childhood Sexual Abuse I am a product of sexual abuse that started at a very young age until I was 13 years old. I fortunately have a powerful God that kept me from becoming a statistic. I used it to make me an independent and strong person and…

    5-Minute Banana, Blueberry + Avocado Puree

    07/10 /No Comments

    5-MINUTE BANANA, BLUEBERRY + AVOCADO BABY PUREE   Such a simple puree that is packed with goodness! Avocado’s were some of the first foods I introduced to my little one and mixed with his favorites, this is a definite treat. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup blueberries, if using frozen thaw first 1 banana 1/2 avocado, peeled 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS Place all of the ingredients into a blender and process for 1-2 minutes on high speed, scrapping down sides every 30 seconds helps puree the blueberry peels. If puree is super thick, add in water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Serve and enjoy

    Disney World Is Celebrating Its 50th Anniversary By Giving Away Free Trips!

    06/30 /No Comments

    Disney World, the happiest place on earth and not just for little kids! We took our son for his 3rd birthday which was also 2 days prior to the park closing due to COVID. My husband did not understand Disney “Magic” until we went to Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and His Pals! When Coopers eyes lit up and he was so incredibly happy because he could see his favorite characters, he got it. It was truly a magical moment and will always cherish our time. We are taking Coop back for his 5th birthday but that is another post! So on to Disney’s 50th and how you can enter…

    Hypocrite: One who assumes a false appearance; one who feigns to be what he is not, or to feel or believe what he does not actually feel or believe; especially, a false pretender to virtue or piety. This word has been what I have discovered in the group, Her View From Home Team, that I once was part of to be. It was all rainbows and puppy dogs until you have a matter of difference in opinion or a voice that does not align with the rhetoric. I suppose had I put hearts as a comment vs facts I would still be part of the group. One of the owners…

    To the mom/woman that ______, I don’t See you So many titles these days that have “I See You” and this may make me a bit unpopular but, I don’t See you. I don’t See the struggles you face with depression or anxiety every day because of your situation. I don’t See the difficulties of having a child with special needs. I don’t See the woman that has spent countless hours injecting herself with a cocktail of meds and praying this time will be her miracle and conceive. I don’t See the mama that is with the love of her life in the NICU, praying that she will get to…
