Dylan, HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY! I cannot believe it! 5 seems like such a huge milestone. First of all, I'd like to congratulate your dad and I for keeping you alive, and overall, for not raising an asshole. YAY - Go us! I cannot begin to tell you how proud of you I am, how much I love you, or how much joy you bring into my life everyday. As I sit here ugly crying, because my baby is growing up, I know that I am so excited to see the amazing person you continue to grow into. You - are the[...]
Each year I work on a word of the year instead of resolutions. I set goals for myself throughout the year, but I feel that setting resolutions just sets me up for failure. I mean, come on, I get to Valentines Day and I've already failed. I prefer working on smaller goals that lead me to a bigger life change. I started choosing a word of the year 2 years ago, and I love it! It is a constant reminder of what my overall goal is, the big picture, larger life changes. Focusing on a word that all[...]
Oh baby is right. We are expecting baby number 2. Saying this, writing this, knowing this, is so surreal! To say that we are excited is an understatement. We have had so many blessings this year, and this is really the cherry on top. I knew that I wanted more kids, but I never thought that I wanted to be pregnant again. I said all the time, we were only adopting, no need to be pregnant. I didn't have an awful pregnancy with Dylan, but it wasn't great. I was never sick or any[...]
Photo Credit: @msrachelhollis I recently went on a long weekend trip to visit my fam in Georgia. I love listening to audio books, especially on long car rides. On the way home I listened to "Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis. To be completely honest, I didn't even really know what they book was about, but I had seen so many Instagram stories about it I knew I had to listen. O M G - This was probably be best book I have ever read (or listened to). I've already ordered[...]
You guys, I know it is September, and as usual, I meant to get this post out way sooner, but well.. life. BUT... I live in Florida and it is still 100 degrees, so when I'm not drinking my ICED pumpkin spice, I am sipping on my fruit infused vodka. SO GOOD! I'm hooked. I love a good craft cocktail when we go out, but I struggle to make them at home because I feel like there are always so many ingredients, and items I don’t always have on hand. I also struggle with feeling like cra[...]
Photo Credit: Danahia Hill I wasn't this nervous when I wrote my story. I didn't think it would be so hard to have it out there. I know that there are so many others who have been through the same, or much worse, but I think it is more the vulnerability then anything. As I sit here waiting for my miscarriage story to go live, my heart races. There have been 4 girls that went before me, and my heart broke for each of them. It is nothing I would wish on anyone, and I hope that this[...]
Tax free weekend is here! This weeks Friday Favorites are going to be around clothes, and all things back to school. I can't believe my little starts VPK soon! I have absolutely LOVED keeping him home this summer and cutting down on my work load. We have had a lot of big changes in our family this year, so I am thankful I was able to spend some quality time with Dylan. We have crossed off most of our items on our summer bucket list, but still have 1 more trip planned next week to end summer[...]
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[...]
Dylan is 3 and we finally took his first plane ride (ok this was about 6 weeks ago, but don't judge, I've been busy!) We haven’t done any traveling outside of Florida with him other than our cruise. We have taken his daddy to the airport a few times and he always wants to go. Of course, what toddler boy isn’t obsessed with planes? We have been talking about going for about a month, but there hasn’t been to much excitement until the night before we left, when we really started talking about[...]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin After a long weekend and birthday dinner celebrations we are finally home. Everyone has eaten, Dylan is playing with daddy, and I sneak away to go to the bathroom. I now have to close the door and lock it if I want any privacy because my little guy has learned to open doors. I'm not in the bathroom for 30 seconds when I hear Dylan's little flat feet hitting the wood floor, coming my way. I take a deep breath as he bangs on the door "mommy let me in" as I roll my ey[...]
