On The Daily With Dyldyl's Mom

  • Take Some Time For Yourself

      I know that people mean well when they give their advice to me. I know when they tell me “take some time for yourself” or “you need to rest” they mean well. The problem with this is that if I do those things I just get further behind.   There are too many things…

  • Feeling Broken

    The last few years life has really tested me in ways I never thought it would. The last few months have been even more trying than the rest. My heart hurts and my mind is tired.  I feel completely broken. I have been struggling for a while with my mental health. Last month was really…

  • I’m Feeling 52

    So, what does it feel like turning 52? Well, I guarantee it probably doesn’t feel like you think it does. I know for me it doesn’t feel or look like I ever thought it would. So many things are just not what our younger selves think. I turned 52 this past Sunday, April 12, 2026.…

  • Getting My Blog Life Together

      I probably should get my life together and write some more blog posts. I probably should put all these ideas in my head and all these random Facebook musings into blog posts. It’s no wonder I haven’t grown my blog any more than I have. My ideas are plenty but the follow-through is entirely…

  • I’m Struggling With My Inner Demons

    I felt like I needed to sit down and write in hopes that it would help me get through some of what I am going through. It is the holidays and I am dealing with my inner demons. Seasonal depression always gets me this time of year. It is very common for those of us…

  • Universal Orlando Photo Pass

      We recently took a trip to Orlando to Universal Studios.  It was our first time there so we wanted to capture a lot of memories. As someone who loves photos and is usually the one taking them I love having pictures to look back on. I decided that was an expense worth the money…

  • This Pillow Makes My Neck Happier

      A little bit of my history before we dive into the heart of this. I have had back and neck issues all of my life. I have gone to a chiropractor on and off since I was a teenager. My hips are different heights, my back is crooked and so is my neck. I…

  • New Hair Clips ‘Cause Honey It’s Hot

      If you don’t already know this I live in Texas. Right now it is hot as hades in Texas. We have had temperatures here in North Texas up to 112 degrees! It doesn’t matter if I am just in the house it is still hot. My hair is long and I honestly like it…

  • I Found a Lump

      First off I will admit that I have not been good about scheduling my yearly mammograms.  In fact, I have only had one done at the age of 48, well two now.  I did not regularly check my breasts via self examination.  Life gets busy and I just didn’t do it.  On May 11,…

  • Monday Motivational Musings

    Happy Monday! Instead of just me I thought you all might like an awkward pic of Bandit and I. Him having his tongue out was a bonus! Kare will be here later! Gigi mode will be ready to activate. I am spending more time before then doing housework and starting some business things that are…
