I haven’t posted a picture by myself or of myself in a long time. I don’t usually “feel” up to it, but today I do. My dirty camera actually worked in my favor 😆. I get stuck in mommy mode and have a hard time pulling back and being Kendra. Kendra likes pretty shirts, earrings,ContinueContinue reading “I haven’t done this in a while.”

The Gratitude List
I have been trying so hard to be a better version of myself. A better partner, a better mom, and a better writer. I do not always do this gracefully. I lash out at the ones I love. I send my kid off to play in her room because I just can’t at the moment.ContinueContinue reading “The Gratitude List”
Ready for fall, but summer won’t leave!
Texas just refuses to change seasons. Fall is trying to blow in, but summer just won’t move over. My baby got this vest for her birthday and could not wait to wear it.

The threenager is now a fourgineer!
Today my life changed forever, and for the better. My Marley is four years old today. I remember nothing more vividly than the day she was born. I remember how excited I was.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been considering closing up my blog, putting away my pens, and giving up. I want to quit and just say this wasn’t for me. This isn’t my time, but I had to ask myself, when will it ever be.

4 Tips to get you back writing
Habit, that is the word of the month. I have a bad habit of waiting too late to start dinner. I am remedying this by starting dinner in the morning. Right now I’m baking the potatoes for our side dish, and the chicken was finished around six this morning. It feels good knowing that dinnerContinueContinue reading “4 Tips to get you back writing”
A long time coming
I have been working on this book of poetry for ten plus years now. I have been striving for perfection for the past six. What do I have to show for it? More than a few journals full of poems that have hardly ever seen the light of day. My daughter is about to beContinueContinue reading “A long time coming”
