Marriage isn’t for me. I had this first realization a couple months into my marriage even though Patrick and I had been together for years prior to “I do”. I knew Patrick – his idiosyncrasies, his values, and his goals. Honestly, I think it’s safe to say I knew everything about Patrick and visa-versa. So […]

Before I even begin this post about being active as a busy mom, I just want to ask you to take a deep breath. I want to remind you of the fact that you are doing a great job as a mom. I don’t want this to come across as you need to do more, […]

We just took our first family vacation, which means it was Owen’s first time flying! I’m not saying he earned his wings quite yet; I know it’s only going to get harder to travel as he gets older. However, our little 6 month old did so well going through security and on all FOUR flights […]

I have one tattoo. It was so small that the tattoo artist laughed at me and didn’t even charge me for it, “That it; that’s all you want? Just two small lines?” To some people, that’s all it is and all it ever will be. Honestly, there was a point in my life where that’s […]

Before I had Owen, I remember being so lost about what we would actually need and things we’d never use. How do you chose just one out of all the baby monitors, jumpers, bouncers, strollers, toys out there?! Even after reading all the reviews and doing all the research, it was still so overwhelming for […]

The 90’s are back in and let me just say that I am here for it y’all. I think the only thing better about being a 90’s baby, is reliving it as an adult. Mainly because now my mom can’t tell me I’m too young for lip liner 😉 So give me all the overalls, tube […]

My skin used to be one of my biggest insecurities. I used to not leave the house or even go swimming without makeup on. I felt hopeless: Proactive, Differin, Pevonia, RetinA, Skin MD, R+F — Nothing was working. Does this sound like you? Ok friend, keep reading because there is hope. Let me just say, […]

They’ll tell you: That “you’ll bounce back”; That you’ll lose the “baby weight in no time”; That the “baby weight will just fall off”; That “by 9 months you should be back to pre-pregnancy weight”. I’m here to tell you what they won’t: They won’t tell you that your stomach will be mushy; That you’ll […]

I was skeptical about buying this swimsuit at first. First, because I’m obviously not the typical size 00-S fashion blogger (I’m currently kneeling pretty at a size 6-8 depending on the brand). Second, because I’ve never worn a high-waisted bikini. And third, because I dread buying swimsuits in person, let alone online. But y’all let […]

Often we get discouraged by the circumstances we find ourselves in. And more often than not, we give these circumstances more power than they deserve. Last night during my devotional, God reminded me that ???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? do I have the power. My attitude is often the decider of my experience. I know that a […]

I guess you can call me basic because I’m all about basics when it comes to clothes. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good pattern, but ever since I started to revamp my wardrobe to fit my new rockin’ mombod, I need to get the most out of my spending! (???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ????’???? ????????????. […]
