How To Choose A Weighted Blanket

By 45 Comments

Weighted blankets are hot right now! I have a feeling it’s because we are so caught up in everything of our daily lives. We rarely take time to unwind before bed. It helps to shut down your mind and body so you can sleep peacefully! Also, many of us suffer from mental health issues, special needs, or just need to find comfort! Find out how to find a weighted blanket that is right for you.

We’ve tried a few weighted blankets and found what works and what doesn’t. Think of weighted blankets as an investment. If you’ve priced them out, you’ve seen they are not cheap!

New Washer And Dryer

By Leave a Comment

My new washer and dryer was installed a few weeks ago! I can’t believe I’ve been a homeowner for year! My old washer and dryer came with our condo and they were at least 20 years old. They were very tiny and I believe only 3.2 cu. ft. I wanted to upgrade because I could only wash so many blankets at a time and I also felt like I was doing more loads because of the size of the tub.

Weeks before Black Friday, I found a few washers that I wanted. At first, I wasn’t set on a specific brand, I was mainly looking at prices. However, Samsung really caught my eye. I’ve had a Samsung washer and dryer before. I loved my set, however, I knew this time around I didn’t want a front loading washer! I also hated that we had to move and were unable to take our set with us.

First Visit With Santa

By 21 Comments

I’ve been making the time and effort to be more involved with my son’s class. A few months ago, I chaperoned his first field trip ever and he’s in 8th grade. His second field trip of the year was just a few days ago and it was his first visit with Santa!

Santa Day was hosted by our local Alta Regional Center for families of special needs children. They act as advocates by helping to navigate/find services within our community.

Our First Christmas Tree

I’ve never had a Christmas tree in all of my adult life. However, now that I’m a homeowner and a single mom, I thought it is the perfect time to start my own little traditions! This is our second Christmas in our new home! It is time to decorate with our first Christmas tree!

First Thanksgiving In Our New Home

By Leave a Comment

This past Thanksgiving was our first in our new home! I still can’t believe it’s been a year since we moved in! Our first Thanksgiving in our new home was special to us. Looking back, I love being a homeowner, however, it would be nice to share it with someone special. In the meantime, we enjoy our home. I love decorating our space in my own way!

First Thanksgiving In Our New Home

Up until about a week before Thanksgiving, I didn’t have any plans. I wasn’t planning on making anything special since it was just my son and myself. My son is a picky eater.

Finding A New Purpose

By Leave a Comment

Welcome to Mamahearted! I am on a new path to finding a new purpose.  I am so excited to start this new venture. I’m not new to blogging, but this is a new project! I’ve been blogging since 2003 or so. I started writing on those free blogging sites. Throughout the years, I started blogs here and there and settled on Beauty Brite, my main blog. I also had a personal blog that I would publish on here and there. I am starting a new journey with this blog! I hope you follow along on my journey!

Finding A New Purpose

I recently started volunteering in my son’s class. It’s been so fulfilling, great experience, and gets me out of the house. I get to observe and listen to how they are teaching my son. Finding a new purpose through volunteering helps me feel good but also help his teachers and classroom!
