    Happy New Year!

    It’s so hard to believe that another year has passed so quickly. 2016 held a lot of new experiences for our family and we are excited to see what 2017 holds! We went on a few trips, started new endeavors, and welcomed Scarlet Reese into our family. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures from our last photoshoot with Kristina J Mosley and also include what our New Years Resolutions are for 2017. We all decided to write them down so we could look at them throughout the year and hold ourselves accountable for what we aspire to achieve. I hope that you start 2017 by taking…

    Capsule Wardrobe via Colored Organics

    One of my resolutions for the upcoming year is the live more simple. This means not accumulating so many “things” and the biggest  part of that is children’s clothing. For me personally, buying clothes for the kids is something that I am addicted too. Whenever I go to Target, GAP, H&M, etc, I am smacked in the face with an overwhelming amount of cute outfits and my brain doesn’t process that each of my kid’s clothing drawers are overflowing and no one ever sees half the stuff that they wear. Derrek shakes his head every time he tries to put clothes up because there isn’t a space to shove anything else…

    My kitchen is a place of solace for me. I spend countless hours preparing food for myself and my family every day. Sadly, it’s the place that often gets looked over when it comes to updating. I am working on changing that, little by little, because it is a place that I spend so much time in. Student loans kill our bank account and so that keeps me in check when it comes to re-doing something in our house. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a few companies to help spruce up this area and it is finally coming together. Something that I knew that I wanted for our…

    Step Away from the Princess Elsa Body Wash

    One of the things that I dread about Christmas is the number of toxic fragrance filled body washes my children recieve as presents from their grandparents. Y’all know the ones that I am refering too, the ones with your kiddos favorite TV and movie characters on them. It makes me cringe because I know they are going to have a meltdown for them and it’s hard to explain why they can’t take a bath with their Nemo bubble bath or Frozen body wash. Trying to get my little’s to understand that kids do not need them as presents, is like talking to a brick wall and knowing that they are literally money down the drain. It makes…

    Ergo-dynamic Nursing Pillow

    I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. Breastfeeding has been the most intense and amazing journey that I have ever been on! With each child, you would think it gets easier but each baby is so different! This is a subject that I get asked about constantly from my readers and followers. Although, I am not a lactation consultant, I can share my personal experience with breastfeeding three children and what has worked and not worked for us. Nolan breastfed like a champ, Harper took some time to get her latch right and Scarlet Reese is a toss…
