In the Fall of 2021, I decided that smiley faces brought me a lot of joy. Like it was my “thing” that people would see and think of me. Most people thought it was a phase (I kinda did too). Then in January 2022 when I was researching more things about adoption, I remembered that […]

behind the scenes of the fund the nations adoption campaign
I’m writing this on the other side of Fund The Nation’s adoption campaign because I just couldn’t gather my thoughts to write anything beforehand. If you follow me on social media, you likely saw the blow-up I did with our big news. I wish I could share every single post and Reel I created, and […]
spencer – 18 months old
Geez, we’re a mix of “how is he already 18-months!?” and “he’s only 18-months!?” haha Let’s do a little update on Big Boy Spencer, eh!? Likes: Dislikes: Food: Nothing is really off-limits when it comes to food. He loves pretty much everything but definitely has his staples – Breakfast usually includes a banana. Lunch is […]

rylie’s 6th birthday
My oldest daughter turned SIX on Tuesday (the 8th) and it really didn’t hurt my heart like I thought it would. She’s just so mature and her growing up is bitter-sweet but more sweet. I really didn’t take many photos that day. We had pancakes with strawberries and whip cream (per her request) and then […]

blue tansy face serum (+ fundraiser)
I’ve been into essential oils for a couple years now, and I follow several Instagram accounts of fellow oily-lovers. A couple of them have shared their skincare routine, and each of them included an essential oil called Blue Tansy. Blue Tansy is the best skincare ingredient you never knew you needed. It is blue and looks […]

I found this fundraiser in my initial fundraiser idea search back in January but I intentionally set it aside to release in the Autumn. After selling some sets online & at vendor events, I decided to step it up and create a fun event – A VIRTUAL MOVIE NIGHT! I invited my local friends over […]
