    How Yoga Helped Me

    Never in my life would I have expected to like yoga as much as I do. Let me take that back… LOVE yoga as much as I do! Y’all, it has changed my life in four short months and I know it could do the same for you. I’ll back up and explain more of my story with this. In December of 2019, I felt that I wanted to start exercising again. I was four months postpartum and wanting to get back into a routine BUT I didn’t want to go back to hardcore workouts because I was scared. I’ve had five babies and my core strength is at it’s…

    Marriage Tips While You’re Stuck At Home

    Since we are currently under a we-don’t-know-when-life-will-go-back-to-normal schedule, I thought I would do everyone a favor and share a little marriage advice that I have for being in super close quarters 24/7 with your spouse. Because Derrek and I have multiple children who are all small in age, I get asked so many questions about my marriage. It’s not perfect so let’s just go ahead and put that out there.

    My Favorite Matcha Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day!

    With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, it’s only appropriate to celebrate by introducing you to my favorite green super food. Although I really do try to drink coffee (more so in social settings), it makes me very jittery and I feel like that makes it counteractive for me personally. I have started looking into other alternatives because lets face it, as a mom of five, I need all the energy I can get! I saw that Perfect Supplements had a Matcha supplement and I had to try it. I am so thankful that I did because it is AMAZING. It’s probably my favorite supplements that I’ve tried so…

    Perfectly Imperfect

    I’ve been contemplating writing this blog because I knew it would take a lot out of me emotionally, and honestly, it’s something I’ve kept private my entire life. However, if my story can help just one person, it’s worth it, so today, I want to share with y’all about how my “perfect life” came to be. Growing up with divorced parents is really hard, especially when they don’t get along with each other.

Lack of communication about their relationship already weighed on me, so I had that…
