SURPRISE!
We are having another baby! Each one of us is so excited about adding to our family and even more excited that the secret is out. Derrek and I found out about this pregnancy before we left for our Glamping trip a few months ago! As surprised as we were, we knew that we were going to have a fourth child one day so it has been very exciting since we knew! Y’all, babies are my weakness and I know that having children is chaotic but it’s the perfect dang kind of chaotic. I figured I could share a few things about this pregnancy since I am just now working…

Know Your Truth
sweater – sold out (similar) | jeans | heels | necklace In the spirit of being transparent, I am going to continue sharing details about my life that are deeper than surface material and more my truth. I’ve shared a little about my journey after getting married and it’s helped me connect with so many women who also went through the same thing. I want to write it out in case anyone else is in a place where they need to hear. For the longest time, I felt like I wasn’t living life the way I was supposed too. There have been so many hard times and obstacules faced throughout…

How bObi Helps Me Keep My Sanity
This post has been sponsored by bObi Sweep. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I have always been really OCD about my personal space… every apartment I lived in and the house I shared with Derrek before Nolan was born, was spotless! If my living area is dirty, it physically bothers me and gives me a great deal of anxiety. Now, I know you’re probably laughing because you know that I have kids and that I clean up 197467 messes a day. This being said, I was that mom who swept the floors every day. Our house is entirely hardwood floors and with…

My Chicken and “Rice” Recipe and Non Toxic Cookware Guide
One thing I’ve learned after starting my family is that finding good recipes that don’t take several hours to make is really important. It’s so easy to say, “well, nothing is cooked, so let’s just head out to eat.” How often have you heard those words come out of your mouth? Fast food or eating out is such a waste of money and will pack on the pounds at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, getting “vacation meals” every now and then isn’t bad but don’t make it a habit. I am with the kids 24/7 and even though Derrek is more than hands on when he is home,…
