I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would get ‘me’ back and I suppose I have been on a mission! ❤️‍🔥

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!!
It was a hot one at Bristol today but we had fun! It was a hot one at Bristol today but we had fun! 🏁

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.

Summertime & Hula Hoops

Can you believe that today is the first day of Summer? What I mean is – hasn’t it been Summer for like EVER now?! It’s been unbearably hot for what feels like a really, really long time. I’m not complaining though because evenings like these remind me of what I love about Summer. The warm evening air. Hula hooping and seeing who of your friends can do the most “tricks”. (In case you’re interested – I can jump up and down while the hula hoop spins at a crazy angle. Skills, I tell ya.) Sitting in the grass in a circle talking and laughing until it gets so dark that only the glow of fireflies lights everyone’s faces. Heading out with girlfriends waaaay past bedtime (something I do like, twice a year now!). Raiding your friend’s closet because you didn’t know you’d be going out. Walking downtown in cute wedges that are entirely too small for you and pretending they don’t hurt. Yep – I love you Summer evenings.

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Ladies Night Out!

I’m usually so particular about clear photos .. but I just love the fact that these are just a bit imperfect due to the low lighting. I think I need to buy a few disposable cameras this Summer. I miss the excitement of developing pictures.

    Such a perfect post. I agree, it's felt like summer for a while now… but little summery moments like yours are the stuff memories are made of. =]

    Hula hooping! Oh my goodness I completely forgot how much fun that can be! I think I'm going to have to get myself one next time I go to the store and have my own little hila hoop party!

    I miss the excitement of developing photos too! I might have to whip out my non-digital SLR! Also, hula hooping is a lot of fun. Haha.

      You’ll be seeing that outfit again soon! I have a post scheduled. But it’s not a romper, just a top and shorts. 🙂
