A video I NEVER expected to go viral, went viral. Like 41+ Million views viral. That's a lot of millions, and something I was NEVER expecting. I have never had anything like this before. As a content creator, I was so excited when I saw the views of this video start to skyrocket.. I was hitting 100k views within a week of posting, but it quickly hit the million mark and continued to grow by 1-2 million views A DAY! This is the type of engagement content creators dream about... but I h[...]
Ok all. Traveling with kids.. What a topic. The opinions are all over the place. Some think it's a hassle, some think it's an adventure, some look forward and don't think anything of it, some dread it and do it because they think they have to, but no matter what it is always an experience! If you are anything like me, you probably watch the instagram stories, reels, and cute videos of the families on vacation with their kids. Going from 1 to 3 kids, my views on traveling with[...]
With everything going on in the world right now I was really looking for a project that the entire family could participate in . Remember, our kids range from 13 to 1. So, finding something everyone can enjoy can be challenging to say the least. I'm not sure if I chose this as one of our homeschooling projects because I'm a good mom who wants to teach her son real life lessons, or if I'm lazy and wanted someone else to plan my garden. Either way, it's really working out in my favor.[...]
*This stay was hosted, but all views and opinions are completely my own. I've been going to Cocoa Beach for the majority of my life. Growing up in Central Florida, you can get there in just over an hour. I went (and still go) to the beach any chance I get, all year long! Cocoa Beach is a staple memory in my late teens - early twenties, and the Westgate Cocoa Beach pier is at the heart of it. As a mom, I love that my kids get to make the same memories I did as a kid, with so many more aw[...]
**This post contains affiliate links** 25 weeks. 6 months. The size of a melon. I cannot believe I am already this far along. With Dylan, I documented each week with a bump photo and growth update. This time around, well I have really done nothing. I mean, how are you suppose to keep up with a kid, work, run a household, and take care of a new horse, while documenting all of these things?! I can only have 1 cup of coffee a day people, and 0 tequila! I was at about 18 weeks when[...]
Well, that went fast. Our last Friday before school starts, and my little is officially in Pre-K. We headed to his open house last week to learn more about the program and what was to be expected. He is staying at the same daycare we moved to earlier this year, so it isn’t too much of a change. Dylan is actually going to miss his first day of VPK. I know, mother of the year, but tickets were much cheaper flying home on Monday instead of Sunday. We are currently on our last vacation of the[...]
We are back from our last minute road trip! We made the decision on a Friday night and we left on Monday morning. Robby is pretty much traveling Monday-Friday since his promotion which has been a big transition for our family. So when he told me he was headed to Jacksonville and then Charleston and would be gone Monday-Saturday we decided to make it a family affair! We drove from Orlando to Jacksonville on Monday morning and stayed there until Tuesday night when we drove to Charl[...]
Summer is here! Well, almost for us. I have been working A LOT lately, and I've decided it is more important for me to live in the moment with the little guy. My schedule is going to have to be switched around a little, and I might have to work some early mornings or late nights, but I know it will be totally worth it. I am taking Dylan out of daycare for 6 weeks. His last day will be next Friday until he starts VPK in August. EEK! - V.P.K. I'm having a hard time accepting that he will be on m[...]
*This post contains affiliate links* Fathers Day is less than a week away! Our family has been going full speed the last month, and it doesn’t look like it is slowing down anytime soon. June is a busy month for us because it includes Robby’s birthday, Fathers Day, and our annual family vacation to Pompano Beach. This year Robby turns the big 30, so on top of his normal birthday festivities we took an adult only cruise earlier this month and we thre a big party at our house with the kid[...]
So the house is officially ours, and all of my Pinterest boards are about to come to life! I mean obviously I'm going to be the #nailedit type. The first thing I do when we get the keys to our home is take a ride over to Home Depot. I am completely giddy and over the top to take this first trip and buy as much as I can so that when Robby is off the next day we are ready to go. With my list in my hand, my first stop is paint - I am in charge of picking out all of the colors. We had originally[...]
Ok, so I know I am about a month late on this, BUT.. there has been A LOT going on. We are currently moved in to our new home, but that doesn't mean we are done renovating/decorating/DIYing the farm life. I started writing this and well, trying to get in our new home took precedence. I am now putting it all together, so you can follow our journey to the farm life, and all of the ups, downs, and learning experiences that come along with it. I'm currently running on a lot of coffee to get thro[...]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Wow! 2017 is just days away from being over.I feel like this past year was a whirlwind, so many amazing things and changes have happened for our family this year, and I am so excited for what 2018 has to bring. MILESTONE #1 One of my goals for 2017 was to find a new career doing what I love. It was one of the most difficult decisions to leave a comfortable job that I loved, but I knew that it wasn't for me in the long run. I couldn't be happier with the dec[...]
