    My Trip to Four Seasons the Biltmore in Santa Barbara

    As many of you have seen via my social media, I visited Santa Barbara at the beginning of September. The trip was special to me for many reasons: it was the first time away from my children, I was around inspiring and powerful women,  being able to stay at Four Seasons the Biltmore (duh) and being treated like a queen, eating organic amazing food and knowing that I earned this FREE trip because I worked my butt off for three months and my Beautycounter business is proof of it. I decided to join the Beautycounter movement after trying countless “organic” and “natural” products and being unimpressed by their performance and/or…

Now that I’ve had a little time to get into a groove with school this year, I am ready to share more about it. I decided I was going to homeschool Nolan, three weeks before he was to start public school. I did this for many reasons but the biggest is that last year, my lifestyle wasn’t respected. It was really hard on me emotionally and Nolan physically with all the junk that was given to him all of…

    Girl’s Night Must Haves – Beauty Product Edition

    A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to vacation in Santa Barbara at the Biltmore with a few hundred other ladies. This group of women and myself, won a trip from our company for our hard work over the course of last summer. Amongst those ladies were a few of my personal teammates, which made the trip even more special. Before that weekend, I hadn’t had a “girls night” since I got pregnant five years ago. Five years yall! Although I love my family and my Little’s, having a few days to myself was amazing and I am so refreshed because of it. My teammate, Christine Brown, and I…

    Childproofing My Stairs

    This post has been sponsored by North States Baby. I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I have never been able to baby proof my stairs! Normal baby gates have never even been an option because of the way the stairs were built. This has driven me crazy throughout our five years living here and I am SO happy to say, the issue has finally been fixed. This gate is from North States Baby and can be bolted to the wall (as shown) or put together circular wide and used as a play pen.…

    Back in Black for a Date Night Look

    Oh y’all, someday soon, I’ll get back on a blogging schedule but until then, consider these your surprise reads, haha! I feel like every other day has some sort of activity that takes us away from home or I end up finishing the kids homeschool lessons when I was supposed to have “my work time.” But, it is what it is, and I don’t get mad. I know it’s all a season and it won’t be like this for long. I left for my work trip last week and before, every time I would try and tear myself away from the kids for work, I would just look at them…
