We are kicking off my birthday with some new recipes, some new and old traditions. The past few years or so we went away for my birthday, just Jimmy and I. Some of my birthday vacations have been cruises, Vegas, Arizona and Colorado. However this is my first birthday with kids and it is definitely […]

As we are preparing for our first family vacation, I’ve had to make myself take a step back. The past couple weeks have been weeks of lots of  breakdowns, therapy appointments for the kids, doctors appointments and adoption paperwork has been crazy. Add that on top of our normal schedule with activities and school. I […]

Do you have one of those kids that are a little firecracker? You know the one that is so stinkin’ cute, makes your heart melt and is mischievous all at the same time!! The one you go to to discipline and it takes everything inside you not to bust out laughing. Well Isabella is our […]

Motherhood has many seasons, just like the four seasons we have. Well in NC we have some fake seasons. Like right now as I am typing this we are having Fake Fall. I know the Summer heat is coming back soon. Motherhood and my life is like that. August was all about growing as a […]

I was scrolling Instagram the other day and a post caught my attention. It said motherhood is hard…isn’t that the truth. You know what? It is okay to admit that  it is hard especially being a foster mom. Starting motherhood in my late 40’s has definitely had its challenges. These kids, I don’t know all […]

Lele and I were talking about dreams the other day and how she stopped chasing dreams. I felt like a ton of bricks hit me, when she said that. A few seconds later she goes, I am starting to want to chase them again because of you and daddy. You guys are helping me want […]

I can’t believe August is almost over.!! July came and went like a blink of an eye. It has been awhile since I have written a blog. I am really not sure why that is, I had intentions to write some blogs, but I just didn’t for different reasons like…in July I didn’t really work, […]

As I am counting down the days to my birthday, I remember some of things my mom did to make my birthday special and things Jimmy does now to make my birthday special. What is one of your favorite memories for your birthday?   When I was growing up, my mom would always ask what […]

It has been a few frustrating months with the house.This week we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our inspector had some major concerns with the framing. However our project manager was all over the list to get things done and done right. We believe he is on our […]

I would say for the majority of this year, I have been praying for a community. Being an entrepreneur can be really lonely. I can’t tell you how many times I really wish I had someone to bounce ideas off of or wanted someone to say you’ve got this. I love that Jimmy encourages me, […]

I don’t know about you, but I live in workout clothes. I have been this way for a few years now, even before the pandemic hit. I was actually a little embarrassed by it. Like if I was meeting someone for lunch I would probably change and throw on some jeans. But I have learned […]

So it has been almost four weeks since my hysterectomy.  I have to tell you that I frustrated that my move and exercise streak would be broken on my Apple watch. I was on a 238 streak of beating my goal. In fact in the past year I had only missed 3 days. See everyday […]
