And just like that, we are onto another year. 2022.. you will be missed, but I am so excited to see what 2023 has to offer. fAVORITE MOMENTS OF THE YEAR There are so many moments I am thankful for this year. We got to spend a lot of quality time as a family, enjoyed our home, and really dive into what's important to us. These are my top 3 moments of the year, for big items we have wanted to make a reality for our family. We got Dylan a 4 wheeler for his birthday and th[...]
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[...]
Wow, that was exciting, nerve racking, scary, exhilarating all at one. Ok, maybe all a little dramatic, but recording my very first solo show after not recording over almost 2 years gave me all the feels. I am so excited to be back. This is just a sneak peek episode on what you will be getting each Monday. The goal of the podcast is to be the mom friend you want, but don't have time for. This is the best friendship because you don't have to give me anything and its 100% on your time[...]
I DID IT! Yes! I did it... I got my boobs done! So here we go, let's talk titties! There have been a ton of questions on this, but the top one, was why? I don't know if people are curious, judging, or just trying to make the decision for themselves, but whatever it is... I'm fine with it. I did this for me. Yes, read that again. I got breast implants for me! It is something I have wanted to do since I was young, like tween/early teen young. Now that I have 2 daughters it kind of makes m[...]
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[...]
