Since coming home from Hawaii, we’ve basically had the beach on our mind. Seriously though - all the beach things, sunshine + warmer weather. It’s warming up here, but gimme some mid 70’s and sunshine and I’ll be happy and content. Well the other day Blake and I said - forget it, let’s make our own beach. ;) We went upstairs, collected all the white blankets (for our “sand), then put them on the living room floor. Blake suggested we get out her ...continue reading >>
Father’s Day Automotive Gifts + a Little Love for M
I give Marcus a lot of crap because well, Blake has him WRAPPPEDDD around his finger. But if I'm being totally honest, watching him be a Dad has been the most incredible thing in the world. I've fallen even more in love with him than I thought possible and he's seriously the best. Blake talks about him like he is the best thing in the world and he's obviously the favorite, and while I wish it was like somewhat of a tie ;), I love it and I love ...continue reading >>
Laundry Room – Let’s talk Details
I got a post up more so about the washer and dryer last month, so I thought it would be fun to get a post up focusing on more of the little details that really completed this room. I've wanted to fix up our laundry room since well, we moved it. Originally it had the vinyl flooring, you know in that weird orangey color that just isn't cute? ;) HA! So we replaced the flooring before we even moved in and by we, I mean Marcus and my Dad. Then I knew ...continue reading >>
Calcium + Pregnancy
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. All opinions are 100% mine. This pregnancy has been night and day different from Blake’s, which you’ve all heard me say before ;) However, I did go into this one with a little different mindset and different goals so I thought I would do a post on some things that I’ve really made an effort in doing this round. After I had Blake, my recovery was terrible. ...continue reading >>
Last Minute Father’s Day Presents on Prime
Raise your hand if you still haven't bought a Father's Day present? Guilttyyy...whoops. Though, I am working on something else that we have started already that will go with the gift, so I'm like half way there, mkay? ;) I thought I would round up some quick prime gift ideas though for those that are also in my same circumstances. Things that are great for all the Dads! I've got tech, outdoors + errthing in between. TECH ...continue reading >>
Current Fav Summer Sandals:
IT'S MY FAVORITE SEASON. Well, kind of. Fall and summer are a very close tie for me. Anyone else? ;) HA! Well, I figured, since I have a seriously love for summer and shoes...why not get a post going about both of them? Am I right? Also it's the one time a year that I stay up on painting my toes and pedicures, so I feel like buying new shoes is a valid thing. Gotta show them off. So I rounded up some of my favorite - all totally affordable, ...continue reading >>
Pregnancy Update: 25 Weeks
It's been a minute since I've updated y'all. SORRY. I mean, I complain + post things on stories daily, so I feel like y'all get it there too ;) BUT I felt the need to make things more officially and get another update up on the blog here. So here I am. Also, second pregnancy and keeping track of things ain't no joke. With Blake I literally had belly pics every week + all the things and this time I'm like oh, shoot, belly pic at 15 weeks, then 24 ...continue reading >>
One Influential Person in My Life.
I’ve talked about him before and I’ll continue talking about him forever. He was one of the strongest, most faithful, kindest people I’ve ever met. He was basically a Dad to me, he helped raised me, stepped in when my “Father” walked out when I was a little girl and he taught me so much. My Uncle Dean. Blake knows him, even though she’s never met him (in this life anyway), she sleeps with my “special puppy” and snuggles him all day, every day. ...continue reading >>
Favorite Summer Toys/Activities for Blake
I've been working on getting this post up for literally like a month, but life keeps happening, I keep finding new things to share and well, here we are. It's finally happening. We are doing things a little different this summer and I'm actually really excited about it. Marcus is taking the summer off (which hasn't happened since he started teaching) and we have ZERO classes, activities, anything planned for Blake. She's taking the summer off ...continue reading >>
More Moments as a Mom
I’ve been working on enjoying little moments - my goal for this year, 2019, was to live more in the moment and to put being a Mom first. Obviously I have to work and that’s an important aspect of my life too, but I really wanted to focus more on Motherhood. And I’m not going to lie, it’s been a really hard balance, in fact it has since I became a Mom, since I’ve always worked. It’s something I strive to work on everyday and to attempt to get ...continue reading >>
