‘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…

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…

We booked this trip through a website called Glamping Hub and it was SO easy to set up. Not only that, but once we arrived, we really didn’t have to set up or bring anything! How…

Our Glamping Experience – Part One
This post is in partner with Glamping Hub. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. We just got back from our first glamping experience and we are in LOVE. The kids have been BEGGING to go camping and we decided after much thought that it would be easier to partake in glamping verses camping. Glamping, also known as luxury camping or glamorous camping, is that escape you’ve been meaning to take. Hands down, it was the best vacation we have taken as a family and we know we want to go back in a few months. This particular glamping site is located right outside…

Dress Up Costumes and Lollipops?
This post has been compensated by Little Adventures and Wedderspoon Honey. All thoughts and opinions are my own, please read my disclaimer page for more information. Happy day after Halloween y’all! I am finding that it’s always so magical this time of year because of the kids. I’ve always loved fall but when you have kids it takes it to another level. Halloween is probably more fun for them than Christmas because we try to make it to as many fall festivals as possible which means, lots of wear of their costumes. I’ve been searching for a good quality dress up costume company and I was so excited to find…
