    The Granilla Bar

      Lately, there has been lots and lots of snacking involved around our house. The kids and I can tear up a bowl of fruit or guac and pretzels in a heartbeat! I wanted to find a sweet treat that we can enjoy when we get a craving or if we are out and about and need something that’s not so messy. This is where the Granilla Bar comes in, they make all-natural, preservative free Paleo bars in delicious flavors. “The orginal Granilla bars are a mix of shredded coconut, a blend of seeds, almonds & pecans with some dark chocolate chunks or a combination of dried fruits depending on what you’re…

    Smell the Flowers

    tank | leggings | shoes I don’t know about where y’all are from, but the weather here has been fabulous! It’s in the 80s with a constant breeze, so we have stayed outdoors as much as possible. We went to a birthday party this weekend at a state park, and I struggled with what to wear with my growing bump. I knew that the kids were going to be all over the place and I needed to wear something comfortable so I could chase after them. I spotted this Blanqi Bodystyler maternity belly support tank hanging up in my closet and I knew it would be perfect for the occasion.…

    dress | kimono – similar | booties | bangles My 20 week prenatal appointment was this week and along with that, we were able to find out that the baby cooking in my belly is a GIRL! I am so excited and over the moon. I love little boys and little girls the same, but it’s just such an excitement finding out exactly what we are having. I have mostly everything that I need, but now I get to buy a few cute girlie items to dress her in! Derrek and I are still working on her name, and we won’t tell what we decide until she is born. It’s our way…

    Harper’s Dollies

    If you’re an avid follower of my blog, you know that I try to take the kids to play separately and together in their rooms during the week. We don’t really use our upstairs yet, but I wanted them to each have their own space personalized for them. The past few months, I have seen Harper’s wheels start turning more than normal. She is forming an imagination and loves to play with her dolls especially! I keep them in her room, except for one that is always with her, so she has her own space for them. Most of her dolls come from Amelia’s Kisses, a mom-run business (y’all know…

    Skechers Twinning

    Nolan’s shoes | Derrek’s shoes Nolan has always been his daddy’s shadow. I love their bond! Some of my favorite moments in life are seeing them interact, and as time goes on, Nolan becomes more interested in doing everything exactly like his daddy. He wants to go to work with him, workout with him, go uptown with him, etc.! It’s so cute how he gets really excited anytime he does something like Derrek. When Skechers reached out about sporting some of their performance products, I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for Nolan to match Derrek! Derrek picked out a pair of the black Skechers sneakers, and Nolan…
