Here Comes Santa Claus
Y’all! There are only seven days left until Christmas! Can you believe it? This year feels like it has flown by and especially the little bit of time that’s left before Santa comes. With every year, comes new experiences and traditions with the kids! After over doing it (by a long shot) when it was Nolan’s first Christmas, I vowed never to do that again and spare myself the aggravation of putting together a million things that he didn’t even play with. Yes, big mom fail here! Ha. We buy a certain amount per kid and spend the rest buying Christmas for a family in our area. This is important…

‘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…

Our Glamping Trip – Part Two
This post is in partner with Glamping Hub. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Time is flying by! I can’t believe that it’s already been two weeks since our vacation! The exact site we vacationed at is called End of the Road, Near Lake Lure NC. This a community of tiny home log cabin rentals located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain foothills near Lake Lure, North Carolina. 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…
