Welcome to my life.

      Hello there, my name is Haley Bemis. I am 24 years old, mother to a super smart and lively 6 year old, married to the most goofiest & hardworking man, dog-mom to an ADHD Jack Russel Terrior, and a nursing school student. Welcome to my blog! My life is pretty busy and stressful to say the least, and here I am jumping into writing a blog again. You heard me right. Again.

     Back in 2013, I became inspired from friends of mine to create a blog. At the time, I was a single mom and just starting college and thought that maybe if I put my life and situation out into the world, that maybe I could be able to help others or inspire others in similar circumstances like myself. Of course, that lasted a few posts and the stresses of being a working single mom & college student consumed me, & I just didn't keep up with it anymore. Now, here I am almost 5 years later, attempting to do it all again! (If you try & look for those past posts but can't find them, it's because I saved you all from having to read my past "cringy" self. You are very welcome!)

     Now why would someone with hardly the time to sleep want to start a blog? I like to think I'm doing this again for similar reasons I started my first blog.To show others that when life throws you lemons, make grapefruit juice & leave the world wondering how you did it! (Holla @ my girl Maddie for that quote! 💪) I also had a bit of a spiritual experience as well that further prompted me to do this. It was nothing extravagant, but I think Heavenly Father has learned that if the Spirit prompts me long enough about something, I might just do it. (He knows me well).

      I want this space to be somewhere where anyone can come and find something they can relate to. Life isn't easy. As much as we'd all enjoy the sweetness, it isn't all peaches & cream. My goal with this blogspace is to talk about how uneasy life can be. How even though you may have a lot on your "plate", you can still finish your food (let's be real though, sometimes the "food" is disgusting!). My goal is to be "real". 

      I am so excited/terrified/unsure about this new adventure I'm adding here, but I hope that those of you who read & keep up can enjoy what I write & be able to find a place you can come to when you really want to laugh at some poor girls corny jokes, or to find someone you feel like you can relate to. I would also like to try something that I don't think many bloggers do. (Maybe they do, I have no idea 😅) If those of you who are reading have any topics that you would like me to write about, please feel free to let me know! I want this to be a place for everyone. 

      Until next time,

                           Haley
