This past weekend I had a break through. My husband and I were chatting after we put our children to bed one night, and I was trying to verbalize to him why it feels so hard to be home alone with the kids for extended periods of time. When I’m home with them and he’s at work, our …
(photo credit: rachel marthaler photography) These days it seems that everyone’s selling something. I can’t scroll through my Facebook or Instagram feed without seeing someone marketing something. From make-up to jewelry to supplements to a healthy lifestyle, you can buy almost anything through a friend. I used to be one who sort of rolled my eyes at …
It’s the Monday after New Year’s, which means the kids have been out of school, we’ve been out of work, the holiday foods have been in ample supply, as have the attempts to diet and set new goals. All in all, it’s a struggle of a day. So, allow me to start your week off …
I always dreamed of having daughters. I thought about how fun it would be to dress them in adorable clothes, do their hair, and get manis and pedis together. I thought about all the girl talk we’d have and the shopping adventures we’d go on. It turns out my dreams came true. I was doubly blessed with …
This morning was nuts. My husband is in sales and covers four states. This means he spends a lot of time on the road. Today he left at 5am, like he does many mornings.

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 …
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 …
My twin girls are two years old and are at an age where they repeat what I say constantly. The other day I was carrying Emersyn from the house to the car and I dropped something. I said, “Oh shoot!” And the very next words from her mouth were, “Oh shoot, Momma!” Then there was …
This weekend I went to the Influence Conference. It was a much needed girls’ weekend with my sister-in-law, Madison, and my friend, Laura. We left our kids and husbands behind and had three full days to soak up time with each other and meet other bloggers and creatives from around the country. Going into the …
