As a Mom, entrepreneur (work from home), housewife and chronic illness collector, I am always in pain and super busy, but especially since my latest stroke in June (5th minor stroke in 8 years) I’ve made it a point to pay close attention to my body, mind, and heart… literally! I hope you enjoy this DIY Recipe: How to Make Rose Gold with Rose Petal Bath Bombs and let us know what you think!

Did You Know WE Can Make New York a Tobacco Free State?

Did You Know WE Can Make New York a Tobacco Free State?

I can remember growing up going with my Stepfather to the liquor store to buy his cigarettes, the truth is; sometimes he would even send me to buy them for him. The walls outside of the liquor stores and grocery stores for that matter, were covered in advertisements from cigarette companies. As a Mom of little ones, it is upsetting to drive through some neighborhoods and see the same horrible view, the walls plastered with tobacco advertisements. Why must our kids be subjected to this for a daily view, other than to entice them? There might be a solution, Did You Know WE Can Make New York a Tobacco Free State? [Read more…]

Living A Livable Life with Endometriosis

I was invited to attend an event in March on a subject that many don’t know much about. Endometriosis. I was diagnosed with endometriosis many years ago and never spoke to a Doctor about it since. I have lived with the symptoms I had and figured that was the way the rest of my life should be. Boy was I wrong! Endometriosis is NOT something that we just have to deal with!

During the event I had a great time listening to a panel of Women speak about their experiences and educate us on a world that many don’t know exist. Living A Livable Life with Endometriosis.

The War is Near: Marvel Studios’ AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR! #InfinityWar

The War is Near: Marvel Studios’ AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!

This is so exciting, the date is SO close; I can almost taste the movie theater popcorn! It is of no surprise that our Family is a huge conglomerate of comic book fans. Since our kids were little, we were known as the “cool Family” in the theaters because we were there for the Thursday night premiers with kids in tow. Our kids have grown up with this love of comic books and Super Hero movies and have cultured that love into a borderline obsession 😉 full healthy obsession. We have watched every single movie. We’ve read every comic book leading up to each movie. Purchased advanced screening tickets the minute they were available. So technically I would not be exaggerating if I said I’ve already made plans for The War is Near: Marvel Studios’ AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR! on April 27th! [Read more…]

This is me: I am a Mother of 6 (recently added an additional 5), I have 5 pets, I drive to 3 different schools, I run a home business, balance a 19 year marriage, and a partridge in a pear tree. Busy would be an understatement, chaotic and fun seems fitting; but a Mom none the less.  [Read more…]

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
