Welcome to my happy place. My piece of sweetness. A place where all my passions in life come together in one place.
Recipes. Creativity. Inspiration. Motherhood.
I spend most of my time as a single mom to my two amazing boys. They are the absolute joys of my life and keep my days filled with adventure, fun, love and…..well, messes……lots of messes 🙂
I count my blessings, but have also been through some tough times in my life. As a divorced mom doing the best to raise my two boys, I have had my share of stressful days. Painful days. Anxiety-filled days. Days that I am not sure how I ever had the strength within me to make it through.
But what I’ve learned by going through difficult times is that our struggles really do have a silver lining. Somewhere buried deep in the pain is a strength that emerges. An opportunity to grow. A sweetness.
Deep down I know I’m not alone. Everyone has setbacks. Everyone has changes in their lives. Everyone struggles.
I believe that it is the little things in life that truly matter. A meal cooked at home with your family. A small gift or homemade dessert for someone to show how much they are appreciated. A holiday tradition that is passed down from generation to generation. An inspiring story on a day when you may need a little extra encouragement. The best part is, these little things don’t need to be complicated, expensive or take up a lot of time. That’s where I come in 🙂
Sweet Struggles is a place where I have taken the pain that I have experienced in my life and turned it into something positive. A place of encouragement, inspiration and creativity for others. It is where all of my passions have come together to create something that brings more purpose to my life. A place that makes me whole and happy. It is proof to myself that if you have patience and faith, the dark days really do get brighter.
So grab a cup of coffee or perhaps your favorite wine and stay a while.
I would love for this to become your happy place too 🙂
