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! 🏁

Pieces of The Days // Getting By


It’s hard to blog when things are shitty, friends. There’s really no other way to put it. Sometimes “shitty” is the only fitting word for a bad situation, and this is one of those times. My Father-in-law has cancer, as most of you know, and things have been really extra hard lately. I haven’t really been able to figure out how to work the events of the past week or so into the life that I share on this blog, so I just haven’t.

I miss blogging, y’all. I haven’t posted in a quite a while and yet, I still continue to get sweet comments on my most recent outfit post. Seriously – you guys really don’t know how much you’ve brightened some of my darker days recently, even for just a minute! It’s the simple things.

I’m not sure what’s ahead for our family over the next month, but I know I want to blog as much as I can – when the sun comes out, so to speak. I want to have something to work on- writing, outfits, photography – things that are pretty insignificant but make me feel happy. This is my favorite time of the year for all of those things, after all.

We’re heading to Disney World on the 15th for a week. Tim, my FIL, insisted that he take our entire family to Disney – so we’re dropping everything and making it happen. I feel extremely blessed that Nate and I are in the position to be able to do that. Even in sad times, I’m excited to experience one of my favorite places on earth with all of them. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that Tim will continue to feel well enough to enjoy this trip! Xo.

    Enjoy your Disney World trip! I'm sorry things are such a bummer right now, but I'm glad you're able to focus on the positive silver lining! =]

    I just found you a couple of days ago, so I had no idea, I'm so sorry to hear this and truly hope that he (and all of you) will be able to enjoy this special family outing that obviously means a lot to him 🙂

    I'm so sorry stuff has been tough for you guys lately, my thoughts are with you all. Your FIL sounds pretty awesome though, dragging everyone to Disney despite everything. I hope stuff looks up for you all soon xo

    Stay positive. Keep your head up. Your FIL would much rather see you smile than to see you cry. 😉 Have fun at Disney! Epcot has their Food & Wine festival going on. Just sayin!

    Very sorry for the troubles you're having in your life right now. Try keeping your chin up. And you're right – sometimes the only word to describe it all is SHITTY.

    Hi Stephanie! How are you? I received an automatically created mail which said that you didn't get my message. Good to hear you received it anyway. The news over here are full of Sandy – hopefully it will be over soon. Have a lovely day! 🙂
