Happy Sunday, everybody! Many of you know that my family and I started on a journey to healthy living in March of this year. Prior to that, we were in full on survival mode, ordering take-out several times a week and eating carbs, carbs, and more carbs. And before bedtime every night? There was ice …
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that earlier this year I started pursuing a healthier lifestyle. I’ve always been someone who works out pretty consistently, but eating healthy was not my thing. We got into a rut where we’d order take out several times a week and had a diet really heavy in …
The day before we left for Mexico a couple weeks ago, I received the most amazing package from CALIA by Carrie Underwood! It was full of fall and winter active gear! This time of year, as the weather gets colder, having some fun comfortable pieces in my wardrobe helps me to keep an active lifestyle. I …
This journey in motherhood…it’s something, isn’t it? Lately it’s been taking my breath away and tugging at the inner most part of my heart. Something deep in my soul is telling me to hug my kids a little tighter, and to live life with them to the fullest. This life never slows down. It feels …

This weekend I started seeing RED cups being posted all over social media. Swoon. WHAT is it about the sight of this cup that makes my heart skip a beat? Maybe it’s because I’ve been looking forward to getting out my Christmas decorations for a good month now, and I finally have justification. Maybe it’s the fact that …
Now that we’re done having babies, every stage I’m in with Case causes me to get a little sentimental. Even though he’s still little and there is still so much to experience with him, there are a lot of important milestones we’re experiencing together that I’ll never get to do again. The last few months …
I have four kids under five and I take them to Target on a regular basis. When I say regular basis, I mean at least two or three times a week. Sometimes four. Because let’s face it, taking them along means that I almost never get everything on my list before all hell breaks loose. During …
This week I came close to losing my dad. Just typing that makes my heart ache. Last Thursday morning, October 1st, at around 4:30am I was woken up by my vibrating cell phone. I groggily looked at the screen and noticed I had several missed calls from my brother. I finally got to talk to …
