    Weekend Style thanks to JJ Cole and Freshly Picked

    My top | skirt | bag | necklace Harper and Scarlet Reese’s shoes | SR bow | bandana bib  Spring is here and we are loving it! We spend, at the least, a few hours outside everyday and it feels amazing. One thing that Derrek and I realized over the weekend is how we stayed busy and the kids were not bickering as much. So, I guess that’s the key for keeping the peace, ha! On Saturday, we ended up going to look at houses because we plan on moving at some point this year. I don’t know about y’all but the thought of moving is exciting and terrifying at…

    Everyday playroom session: confession of a SAHWM

    Nolan’s shirt | Harper’s shirt | pants | Scarlet Reese’s onsie In case you didn’t know, working at home with your kids is ridiculously hard. At the end of every single day, I am exhausted and amazed at all of the tasks I have accomplished. Some days, more things have been checked off of my to-do list than others but that’s just the way life goes. There’s nothing you can do to stop a girl that is on fire. That’s what I speak to all of my ladies on my team and to myself as a pep talk. I have goals and I refuse to push them to the sidelines…

    This Mama’s Valentine’s Day Outfit

    cardigan | top | jeans | booties (similar) | necklace | lip It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. We have already lined up a babysitter and have plans to go out for dinner and see Fifty Shades Darker. This year we aren’t playing around with getting in our date night! Valentine’s Day will always be really special for me because its the date that Derrek proposed to me. I get so emotional even thinking about it. I can remember it like it was yesterday. He was so nervous and kept saying all of these weird deep things like how we had known each other for…

    Why I decided to change my Lifestyle

    Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be.  I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following. I get asked health questions numerous times a day and I want to share all of my knowledge with y’all! I’ve also seen a backlash after my transition and it’s something that I want to address. I didn’t change my lifestyle for anyone else. I repeat, I didn’t do it to “be cool” or try and “one up” anyone. I changed because I saw that the way I was living…

    #forbetterbeginnings with Playtex Baby

    <img height=’0′ width=’0′ alt=” src=’http://pixel.watch/vrte’ /> Each new year brings new opportunity and growth into our lives. I am excited to share something with you that I’ve been working on for a while now. As a mother, the world of baby products can be overwhelming to say the least. As a blogger, I have exposure to many products and it takes time to cull out the best from the group. For this reason, I like to stick with brands that I trust for my baby’s essentials, and use what fits with my lifestyle. Raising healthy and happy babies is my number one priority as a mom so a collaboration with…
