I’ve had this Anberlin tattoo floating around in my brain for yearsss. Finally talked through it with a friend, shared my ideas with @alexandratattoo , and she made them all come to ✨LIFE!✨ Had the best time enjoying several hours of girl talk, good music, and tattoo therapy with her - truly it is therapy and she is the best of the best!!!

I’m not sure I could ever put into words what Anberlin’s music has meant to me over the years. If you feel that way about music in any capacity - you get it. It’s definitely one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. My Dad was a musician and he certainly passed that feeling down to me. Love that I carry that with me! 

And now I get to carry pieces of my favorite band with me. 🖤🎶
Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohe Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohen! He rolled his eyes at me when I said it’s crazy that he went from 6…to 7! If you know you know. 

Cohen is so sweet, kind, helpful, and smart. He loves building hot wheels tracks, setting up play areas for his little brothers, swimming, NASCAR, baseball, and never sitting still or being quiet… ever. 😆 

I’m so thankful God chose me to be his mom! I love you Cohen!! Happy birthday!!

I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

Thank goodness for spring. 🌸 2026 has been kin Thank goodness for spring. 🌸

2026 has been kind of a weird, wild ride so far, but full of good things. I started a new job! And that has taken up a lot of my time (in a good way), so I’ve been a little bit quiet around here.

I’m trying as hard as I can to prioritize myself more these days. Finally went to the doctor and did some blood work. Turns out, I’m severely anemic. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better and little more awake after I start my iron. 😅 Maybe I can lay off the coffee a little bit. (J/k)

I can’t believe it’s almost April after we went through 3 years of January, but I’m not mad about it! Ready to relax outside on patios with family/friends and enjoy our kiddos running around. We made it. 🖤

Stay tuned.😉

Wanderlust | Sienna Ray


Sienna Ray Makayla | Wanderlust

This has been another crazy week! I know, I always say that don’t I? It’s always the truth! On Monday I received the Sienna Ray Makayla bag in the mail. You might remember me telling you all about Sienna Ray’s Wanderlust project that I was asked to be a part of. If you need a refresher, check it out here! Anyway, after the bag made it to a few other ladies around the states it landed on my doorstep here in Kentucky! I’ve had such a lovely week with this pretty purse and I’ll be sad to see her go!

The second I saw this bag I knew I wanted to do something a little… edgy. The gold studs just give off that vibe to me. But I’m a fairly girly gal and I wanted to be true to that as well! So? A dress with a feminine silhouette in a pastel leopard print did the trick! I paired it with simple gold accents in my jewelry and a matchy, matchy heel that just happened to be the exact color of the Makayla! This purse can be worn a few different ways, but this particular way was my favorite. I am a giant purse lady and the Makayla was accommodating to most all that I like to tote around. Any downsizing I had to do was a blessing in disguise for my back and shoulders. ;] It has a nifty little iPad sleeve, so that made me wish I had an iPad to test it out on. Hint, hint to my Husband. Heh!

Nate’s marathon is early tomorrow morning. We arrived in the city in the early afternoon, went and picked up his packet, and grabbed lunch. People have traveled from all over to run in The Flying Pig Marathon here in Cincinnati and there are runners everywhere! It’s so fun to be amongst the hustle and bustle, gearing up for a big event. I spent a few hours making two signs (perfectionist) to hold up as he runs by. Two hours for him to see a sign for half a second, but it’s worth it. I just want him to know how proud I am!

    Love how high your sock bun sits on your head. I can't get mine that high.

      The key is getting the pony tail ridiculously high! I use a hair tie that has little grip things on it so it stays tight. And I also use a kid's t-ball sock with the toe cut off so there's a lot of sock to roll!
