Anyone else true crime obsessed? Some people may say I have a problem, but I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. I get asked all the time for true crime podcasts, so I've rounded up some of my favorites so far. I'll keep adding to the list as I find others that I love. I favor the podcasts that share the entire story. These are the ones I binge, find myself in a rabbit hole on the internet, and get totally sucked in. Anyone else? Well, if you're anything like m[...]
Some of the items in this post were sent as gifts by the company. It is important to note that all opinions are completely my own. Listed in alphabetical order. When Paisley was born I feel like I have been out of the newborn game for a while. Dylan was just 5 years old when I had P, but there were so many new, amazing products that have come out, while others are being recalled (I'm looking at you rock n' play). When Paisley was just 9 months old, I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby[...]
*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[...]
You know that girl in high school that you’ve never actually met but don’t like? You have the same mutual friends, but for some reason (actually, there’s no reason), you aren’t friends. Girls are taught at a young age to compete instead of collaborate. We are taught to put down instead of support. We are taught that there is only 1 spot, when in reality, there is room for everyone to be successful. Well, that was us. Hannah and I weren’t friends. We didn’t like each other, but n[...]
**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[...]
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[...]
It's the first Friday of November, and my first Friday Favorites - Halloween edition. This week was filled with so much fun! Unfortunately, the little one was sick last weekend, so we missed the family Halloween party, but we were able to visit our local Church's pumpkin patch and paint pumpkins with just 2 days until Halloween.Nothing like putting it off until the last minute, but hey - it was great! Dylan was so excited to pick out pumpkins and was even willing to take pictures - as long as he[...]
Dylan: Mommy, you are my mommy now because I am little, but when I grow up to the sky and turn into a T-Rex you aren't my mom anymore. Me: I will always be your mommy, no matter how big you are. Dylan: Even when I grow to the sky like T-Rex? Me: Of course, no matter what, I will always be your mommy! Dylan: Wow, thats cool.
