The Truth About Marriage
This weekend my husband and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. In some ways, I feel like we just got married yesterday. In other ways, I feel like we’ve been together forever. It’s hard to remember my life before we got together. I don’t typically like to get too personal with my blog posts, but since May is our anniversary month, I wanted to share a post on marriage. I’m not an expert on this topic, so it makes me a little nervous to talk about, but I’m not really an expert on anything I post on this blog, so I figured I’d go ahead and post it anyway. Besides, it’s a perfect excuse to share some of my favorite wedding pictures.
You can’t be selfish
I’ll admit it, I’m a selfish person at times. I like to do what I want, but when you’re married you can’t be that way. You have to make compromises. It’s not always easy, but sometimes you learn that things turn out for the best when you find a common ground.
Have a plan/ set goals together
I married a planner. He plans everything and he’s never disappointed me. It’s important to sit down and talk about your future together. You need to talk about your financial goals, your family goals and your career goals. The best thing in our relationship has been the open and honest communication about our future together. They say life is what happens when you’re making plans, but that’s why the plans are always changing to keep up with your life.

The Gift of Me-Time for Mother’s Day
Ever since I became a mom, my life has been dedicated to taking care of my little boy. I’m always thinking about him and what he might need next. I have this never-ending list of things I need to do in my head to make sure he is well taken care of and our home is running smoothly. No matter how hard I try, I still manage to forget something. From the time I wake up, until the time I go to sleep, my mind is on my family.
*This post is part of a collaboration with Smile Brilliant. All opinions are 100% my own.
This year for Mother’s Day, I think all of us moms should give ourselves a little bit of me-time. I did a poll last week on my Instastories and I wasn’t surprised by the results. From what people told me, the majority of us mom don’t take the extra time on ourselves that we should. When I became a mom, I made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to lose myself in motherhood. I wanted to still do the things that I enjoyed and still put myself together every day because that’s important to me. It makes me feel good to put together a cute outfit, do my hair and wear makeup. I still fall behind in a few things. I don’t work out the way I would like to, I only get to the salon every 6 months and my nails might have nail polish on them, but they only look good maybe 2 days out of the week.
