Keeping Kids Busy: Inside Edition
Ohhhhhhh ya’ll, as we go into another week of our new normal I have got to say that I’m going a little stir crazy and so are my kids. In an effort to help all of our mental health, I am doing my best to stay busy. That also means keeping my kids busy. I’m not saying that our entire day is mapped out and calculated (we have a loose schedule) but we fill our time with fun things that allow imaginations to run wild and also make us laugh. From card games to forts, we are rotating all the things and loving the outcome. Yes, our “normal” has changed…

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…

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…

Vivianne “Vivi” Jackson is Here!
It’s officially been three days since sweet Vivi joined us Earthside. We are all so in love with her and I am just so excited to share her birth story with ya’ll! She was born at home, this was my second home birth (I had one with Mercy and you can read about that here.) It was so different than my experience the first time. All of my babies have very different birth stories and I am so happy to be able to have experienced all of them the way that they happened. God has a plan for us even when we don’t know it and that really does hold…

5 Easy Steps to a Green Beauty Morning Routine
Alright ya’ll, I’m comin’ at ‘cha hot with my morning look. I don’t share this often, unless you count IG stories. But it’s all for good reason (I hope.) One of the things that I’ve gotten into the habit of since hitting my 30s is a good morning routine. Before I had kids, I’ll just be real… I was lucky to wash my face once every few days. Now, I am loving every minute of my *quick* routine because it really has changed my skin and my health. The path that led me to a healthier lifestyle started when I was pregnant with Nolan and trying to find a acne…
