My heart is aching for you. I never thought that you would be growing up in a time where our country would be so divided. We live in the best country there is. Unfortunately, over the last few years our country has been on a slow decline and I believe the election was just too… Continue reading Hate: A Note to My Boys
I hated school growing up. I especially hated middle school. Middle school is a tough transition year that most of us forget about. It was an awkward and confusing time in my life. Body changes and hormones, friend’s vs bullies, upper-classman. I think most of us forget that period in our lives once we get… Continue reading I’m not ready
This working out thing isn’t going according to plan. Since I posted last, I have worked out everyday except for this past weekend. I started 21 day fix workouts, not the diet. The workouts really kicked my butt for the first few days but have been getting easier. The boys have also been working out… Continue reading Daily Update
I am a mom of 2 boys. Two preteen, smelly, obnoxious, farting boys. I have heard the words balls and butt more than I care to count. Boys are gross and hard to raise. More times than not, I feel like I’m doing it all wrong. For the past 11 years I have been stating “It’s… Continue reading Raising Boys
I have struggled with my weight since I was pregnant with my first born (12 years ago). Still trying to lose my baby weight! The scale has been up and down but mostly on a slow rise.

I have a heavy heart today, I’m sad and frustrated. I’m so sick of seeing all of the negativity in this country. The fighting, the racism, the judging. From the National Anthem to judging people on their parenting skills, who are we to judge? We live in a fantastic country, one where we are free to express… Continue reading Heavy Heart

I was stuck in a bit of a writing slump for a few weeks so I channeled that into learning more about blogging and how to… Continue reading A New Day
Shawn and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary yesterday. Usually, we have a date night, dinner and a movie or something. Nothing crazy, just time together. Instead of a date night this year, we choose to do a family date night with the boys. Arcade, dinner and then a Rockies game. The boys were being… Continue reading Family Date Night
I started Mom Particle because I wanted to share my thoughts, stories and ideas. I started writing because of my anxiety. Writing helps to clear my mind but with the blog I wanted to write about happy stuff; kids, love, pets, food, etc. Most days I find it easier to write about how I’m feeling than happy topics. I write… Continue reading Random
My furbabies LOVE puppy treats. I was looking for a way to give them healthy treats and save a little money so I decided to try and make my own. These treats are super easy and quick to make. I found a few recipes that use pumpkin puree, I will try that the next go… Continue reading Homemade Puppy treats
