The Noticer’s Guide to Living and Laughing
My life is crazy busy. Being a single mom with absolutely no help (emotional, physical or financial) from the (I'm using this term loosely) father, working a full time day job, raising an amazing little girl and blogging my days never seem to end. Before Peyton was born I would work all the time, spend an average of 9-10 hours in the office a day and then even bring work home. I was the "best" employee. Then Peyton came along and I found myself really struggling. I wanted my life like before. I ...
