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.

I’m here to share how YOU can go ahead and knock out all your gifting plus snag some special holiday purchases for yourself! The Beautycounter 2019 Holiday Sets exceeded my wildest dreams this year!

It was less than $40. TOTALLY WORTH IT! Charcoal Facial Mask – Ohhhh ya’ll, the struggle with hormonal acne is real. I depend on this mask 2-3 times a week to save my…

Happy Monday ya’ll! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I am still pregnant (38 weeks and 3 days) with baby number five and I’ve got all the feels for this chapter because I know that a new one is right around the corner.

What’s In My Purse AKA Diaper Bag
Shewwww, it’s been a week and it’s only Thursday! I know that I say this a lot but, I am trying SO HARD to maintain a consistent blog schedule. Unfortunately life has thrown several curve balls lately so it’s just not happening like I want it too! But, in the spirit of making lemons out of lemonade I promise that I’ll do better. So many of ya’ll have asked about what diaper bag I carry and what it’s stocked with and I’m really excited to share an updated post about this. I think the last time I did this was three years ago and my oh my how things have…
