• November 2021 Update

    Early in the month, I popped down to Bama to start working on cleaning out my mom’s scrapbook room. This was one of our most favorite places to hang out with her, creating and crafting. She had so. much. stuff. It…

  • October 2021 Update

    We took our camper on its inaugural trip to Asheville, NC! We had an absolute blast and it was the highlight of October and, honestly, 2021 so far. We’ve been saying we wanted to take Ben with us on vacation…

  • September 2021 Update

    Honestly, September wasn’t all that great. I was in a pretty bad spot emotionally, spiritually, financially, all the things. I felt like everything was falling apart and I didn’t even really care. So, what did I do? Died my hair…

    Oh I do love February but mainly because it’s love note season. I honestly think this is one of the best things you can do for your kiddos. Even my 14 year old still looks forward to it. Other than…
