An Update On The Girls And An Adorable, Quick Hair How-To.
As the girls get older, I catch myself remembering some of the things I use to say. Things like: “They will always match,” “they will always wear bows in their hair,” “I’ll never bribe them to do things that they need to do,” etc. It really does make me giggle. As a first time parent, I really was a know it all and man, these last 7 years have taught me so much. Mostly that I didn’t know anything and I am constantly learning new lessons every day.

Immune Boosting With Essential Oils
With the starting of school and changing of the seasons, germs are sure to spread around more than normal.

Pregnancy/Birth/Postpartum FAQs
Ya’ll! I am blown away! This pregnancy is flying by and every time I share that I am ___ weeks pregnant it just has me all in disbelief. I never expected ten years ago that I would be well into my fifth pregnancy. I seriously never even thought about my life as a “mom” and now that is all I think about. I love the chapter of life that changed me as a woman forever and I cannot believe that my oldest is seven years old. That means that I’ve basically been pregnant for the last 8 years since I’ve had them all so close in age. Derrek and I…

Maxi Dresses: The Easy Way to Look Put Together
This post is in partner with Pink Blush Maternity. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Happy Hump day ya’ll! I don’t know how the weather is where you are but here in SC it is sweltering hot! It normally doesn’t start cooling down here until October or November. This leads me into explaining that I will not be posting much fall/winter styles until that actually happens. I have seen so many bloggers and influencers posting with scarves and over the knee boots and ya’ll, I just cannot do it. Let me introduce you to my BFF and has been for years:…
