‘Tis the Season
Does any other mama feel stretched out this time of year? I don’t know if it’s the age of my children, all of the things on my plate or just the holiday season but I feel like I can’t keep up. Being a perfectionist and having OCD during this stage of life is actually quite comical. My kids have really done a number on me and keep me on my toes. I have learned SO much about myself during this and the most important thing is presence over perfection. My children need me now, more than ever. Although, I have goals for myself, I realize that my children are so…

Brussels and Beet Noodles, My Go-To Recipe Right Now
With Thanksgiving RIGHT around the corner, I felt like it would be the perfect time to share one of my go-to recipes for fall. I am someone who often falls into the cooking the same things for every meal category and I have to switch it up or I’ll start making bad food choices. Fall and winter bring out some of my favorite recipes and I am so excited to be able to share them with y’all. Being a mom of three has gotten me think outside of the box for meal ideas, especially in the easy prep category. I have grown to love baking my veggies and quickly sautéing…

There’s No Place Like Home For the Holidays
How on Earth is it almost the end of November? Y’all, this month has flown by faster than any other in 2017, in my opinion. I feel like we haven’t had the chance to soak up fall like we wanted and now it’s almost winter! It’s hard to contain my excitement because in a few days, I’ll be cooking my own Thanksgiving. I’ve never done this and this will be the first time that it’s just Derrek, myself and the kids and we are really looking forward to it. We always travel to several different Thanksgiving’s on that day and although we enjoy seeing family, we’re so worn out from…

My Costco Must Haves
One of the most requested blog topics, ya’ll ask for is “what’s on my Costco grocery list?” Long story short, I head to Costco once a month and stock up on things for the house. Every weekend, I make a trip to the local Walmart and have been pretty impressed by their selection. I have shared my Costco finds on my instastories several times but I’ve never had the patience to do the same while at Wal-Mart because it’s crazy town. That one glorious day a month that I head to Costco, it’s truly special yall! I don’t get EVERYTHING there but it does help me out in the snack…

Sweater Weather Is Here!
Whoa, this past week has been a dozy… and it’s only Tuesday! I got sick on our vacation and couldn’t seem to shake it but thank God it’s finally gone! I am also thankful for my husband because he definitely stepped up and ran the house while I couldn’t. By the time Sunday came around I was feeling better and ready to get out of the house. I’ve been itching to wear these shoes for quite some time. But, ya know, #momlife, I am honestly rarely out of sweats! I’ve eyed these in my closet on the daily until last weekend when I finally had the chance to give them…
