    Healthy Food Ideas (what I like to eat right now)

    Hands down, healthy meal and snack ideas, are one of the most asked about topics from my followers. I can see why because it’s something that I am constantly changing in our diets. Before I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I was the queen of cheap and fast food items! The dollar menu was my jam and I could have carried less about the nutritional value. Now that I’m older and wiser (ha) I get to share the many things that I’ve learned along the way and what my go-to meal and snacks are right now. A few years ago, when I started my blog, one of the first things…

    Transitioning to Fall via Old Navy

    This blog is sponsored by Old Navy. I was given these items in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. Fall in the South isn’t exactly like Fall everywhere else. During fall, we do have a slightly cooler weather average and every now and then a good breeze if we’re lucky. There is no warm hats, sweaters and cozy campside fires yet. Although it does give me major FOMO at times, I can’t beat being able to still enjoy the beach or playing outside with the kids while it’s warm either. The one thing I’ve had to come to…

    My Trip to Four Seasons the Biltmore in Santa Barbara

    As many of you have seen via my social media, I visited Santa Barbara at the beginning of September.

I decided to join the Beautycounter movement after trying countless “organic” and “natural” products and being unimpressed by their performance and/or…

    Our Homeschool Journey and Lunches Thanks to Planetbox

      This post is in partner with PlanetBox. We received this item in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Now that I’ve had a little time to get into a groove with school this year, I am ready to share more about it. I decided I was going to homeschool Nolan, three weeks before he was to start public school. I did this for many reasons but the biggest is that last year, my lifestyle wasn’t respected. It was really hard on me emotionally and Nolan physically with all the junk that was given to him all of…

    Girl’s Night Must Haves – Beauty Product Edition

    A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to vacation in Santa Barbara at the Biltmore with a few hundred other ladies. This group of women and myself, won a trip from our company for our hard work over the course of last summer. Amongst those ladies were a few of my personal teammates, which made the trip even more special. Before that weekend, I hadn’t had a “girls night” since I got pregnant five years ago. Five years yall! Although I love my family and my Little’s, having a few days to myself was amazing and I am so refreshed because of it. My teammate, Christine Brown, and I…
