    Happy Hubby Happy Life

    Six years of marriage has flown by ya’ll. Add four kids to that mix and you’ve got a whole lotta chaos happening at any given time. Derrek and I met a little over seven years ago and have been inseparable since. Let me make it very clear though, it has not been easy but I know that every single thing we have been through has made us stronger than ever. Because we 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. We are happy and love each other…

    How to Wear a Body Suit

    Ya’ll… I am not gonna lie. Anything tight on my body right now is not my favorite. It has taken a lot longer for my body to bounce back after baby number four. I am so used to being able to eat whatever I want after having a baby and breastfeeding doing all the work. Between vacations, Thanksgiving, and Christmas my diet is all sorts of off track but as of today, mama is going to get it right. (More to come on this topic this upcoming week) The whole bodysuit trend has been on my mind for a while.. like, since I was 7 months pregnant and could not even…

    This post is in partner with Bryson City. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Last week, my family and my brother-in-law and his children went to the mountains for a winter vacation. I have always wanted to go to the mountains during Christmas time and this year, it came to fruition. Derrek and his brother actually planned this trip and I was just tagging along for the ride. They wanted to surprise the kids and take them to the Polar Express in Bryson City, North Carolina.  What I knew before we went to Bryson City was that it was the town…

    Fine Dine the K9

    This post is in partner with The Farmer’s Dog. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Whoa, this week really did FLY by. As promised, I’ve focused on sharing Christmas gift ideas for everyone. I don’t want to exclude certain members of the family and that means our four legged loves. We have had our dog, Doc for almost 7 years and he means the world to us. He is a schnauzer poodle mix (snoodle) and we saved him from a puppy mill.  I will never forget the feeling of spending pretty much the entirety of my bank account to buy him because…
