    Skechers for Kids

    The weather finally warmed up enough for us to spend some time outside. Us Southerners don’t like anything lower than 60s, and I hate to say it’s been all the way down in the 30s lately. I was dying to stretch my legs, and every day Nolan asks to take a walk and walk Darlin’ (my 9-year-old Maltese that’s gained a few extra LBs), so the warmer weather was our sign to head outdoors! We went to the park where they could run around and I could get some exercise in, and the kids finally got the chance to try out their new Skechers sneakers. I have worked with Skechers before, and…

    DockATot Deluxe

    I cannot believe that we are going to have a third child by this summer! Being pregnant is so much fun for me (now that the morning sickness has passed). Nolan and Harper went to my ultrasound appointment, and I recorded it for Derrek so Nolan asks to watch the video of the baby pretty much every night. He kisses my belly and sings his version of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and he talks about the baby being his! He really loves little babies, and I know he is going to be really excited and helpful when his new little brother or sister comes along. Harper doesn’t quite understand yet…

    Be still my heart!

    Valentine’s Day is almost here y’all! Who else is getting pumped about all the hearts and candy? Nolan loves any excuse to celebrate, and ever since we walked into Target a few weeks ago and he saw the décor everywhere, the questions have come back-to-back! I love hearing the excitement he builds up about celebrating, and once I explained that he can give out Valentine’s to his friends, he’s been all about this holiday. When I was a kid I used to LOVE the chalky candy hearts with messages written on them, but I have since learned those little candies and others are packed with processed sugars and other yucky ingredients. Like Halloween, Easter, and Christmas, a sugar…

    Colored Organics

    Nolan’s sweatshirt |  Harper’s shirt | cardigan | leggings  One of the reasons why I love social media is finding amazing companies like Colored Organics. When we started communicating a few months ago about working together, I knew we would be a perfect fit! Colored Organics is a 100% sweatshop-free, organic cotton clothing company that makes the best basic clothing for yourself, little boys and girls! This company was also founded by a MOM (you know this excites me!) that was horrified that the children working in sweatshops that produce mainstream clothing are not much older than her own. She started her company, and it now makes clothing with  naturally hypoallergenic fabrics that create non-toxic pieces that…

    7 A.M. Enfant

    Hey y’all! I hope you’re having the most amazing day! I’ve teamed up with 7 A.M. Enfant to show how I’ve transitioned through the seasons with my daily walks. Now that the weather is much cooler (this week anyway) in South Carolina, we have been all bundled up and going a little crazy with cabin fever. I’ve vowed to not let the weather get to me and use it as an easy excuse not to work out. It’s really important to me to stay healthy for myself and my family, and the few weeks I was sick, I honestly feel like I felt worse because I wasn’t working out regularly!…
