    Becoming Healthy

    For those of you that are just now following my little space on the internet, I want you to know that this ALL started because I completely changed my life almost a decade ago. Everyone that knew me, saw that in changing to a healthier lifestyle, I lost 60+ pounds and kept it off. Everyone that knew me had LOTS and LOTS of questions… to which I did my best to answer over and over and over again. I have also used my experience to help people as their weight loss consultant by sharing my story with them and by sending tips, healthy recipes, and quick and simple workouts I…

    Strolling Into A New Year With Nuna

    This post is in partner with Nuna. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. The weather in South Carolina is so up and down that we never know if it’s going to be freezing cold or warm and breezey. I am 100% ok with it being warmer than normal in the winter months because I love being outside. With five littles, it really doesn’t help any of us to be cooped up inside for very long. On the weekends, I try to find something fun around town for us to go do with all the kiddos and if I can’t find something…

I finally had the opportunity to sit down and write out all the wonderful things we experienced on our clamping trip to Behind the Pines! Derrek and I loaded up the kiddos the weekend after Christmas and headed out of town for a weekend get away. Y’all, it was so much fun, we cannot wait to go back. Behind the Pines is actually a barn that was turned into a “glamping” living space. It’s a one bedroom and one bath space and couldn’t be…

    Must Have Kid Shoes: Freshly Picked Style

    This post is in partner with Freshly Picked. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Baby shoes are somewhat of an oxymoron if you ask me. There are many cute shoe brands out there like Nikes and Sperries that make baby and toddler sizes, but what they do not tell you is that they will likely fall off within the first ten minutes of babies wearing them. Freshly Picked Moccasins are the only shoes I suggest for every baby shower, birthday, Easter, and Christmas gifts you buy for all of your littles and their friends, girls and boys. No matter who the recipients are,…

    It’s Wine-o-Clock Somewhere

    This post is in partner with Sokol. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Ya’ll! I feel like THIS WEEK of the holiday season is the craziest, most hectic and stressful time! I have so much jam packed into this week that my calendar looks just as crazy as it sounds. To say that I am happy that New Year’s is right around the corner is an understatement. With so much going on, I have resorted to retreating to the back porch with a bottle of wine while Derrek is with the kids after school. This is not my usual after school…
