There it is again; that all too familiar feeling that seems too come out of no where and swallow you whole. I know for me, this happens most when I am right about to go to sleep. Suddenly, an unwelcome thought finds it way past the walls of my heart and mind and take quick roots there. Often, once this happens, at least for me anyway, there seems to be no way out. I try to pray there in the darkness, covered up under my favorite soft blankets, but sometimes my mind seems to so effortlessly[...]
This year has gone by so extremely fast. As I am sitting here writing this, it is so hard for me to come to terms with the fact that it is already October. Where did time go? If you have followed my blog for any amount of time, you will notice that I have been absent and haven’t posted much content during this year. This was not my intention, but in all honesty, I was having an extremely difficult time handling what has been going on in my life during the first part of the year. I have[...]
I will be the first to admit that I have been in need of extra strength over the last couple of months. 2018 has been an emotional roller coaster.

Erika Vose is a mother and writer who blogs overs at Happy Mamas Club. You can find her on her blog or on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter! My husband left for a deployment in August 2015. A week after he left I found out I was pregnant. I was excited, scared, nervous, and all the other feelings that come with being pregnant for the first time! By the time we went to the doctor a month later I already had the next 18 years planned. Birthday parties, family va[...]
I have been intentionally avoiding this topic for weeks. Because in all honesty, it hits close to home. If you're not familiar with my story, I was 14 when my life changed forever. As a Freshman in high school, I became sick with an illness that causes episodes of collapsing and temporary paralysis in my arms and legs. I missed half my junior and senior years of high school. Doctors told my parents to pull me out of school and not let me out of bed for more than 45 minutes at a time. A[...]
