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.

Thoughts On Working…

Guys. This is the conclusion I’ve come to. (HAHAHHAHA) Yeah, what a joke. ;] But it’d be nice if it were true. I’m loving my job right now though- so much. It’s weird because I’m not really doing anything a whole lot different, but I do have an extra “task” now. So basically I am doing three jobs, and I’m going in two hours earlier to get everything done. I like having more responsibility. I like feeling like my job matters, and so I have this whole new attitude about everything that I do. The only thing that I don’t like? I haven’t learned how to balance blog, house, AND work yet. I go in earlier and get off later- which results in exhaustion and using what energy I have left on the necessities. Eating, showering, and spending time with Nate are coming before the blog- obviously.

I mentioned cancer a few times recently but never disclosed who. Well, my Father-In-Law is having his surgery this Friday. So, we’re going to be pretty busy helping out however we can and just being there. I believe that Nate’s Grandparents could possibly be staying with us a bit as well. Also? My Sister-In-Law should have her baby pretty much any second now! So, if you don’t see me around – this will be why for sure. However, I am going to try and make time. I think making time for blogging and outfit posting will probably help me to keep myself in good spirits. Does that make sense? :] I’m sure it seems trivial, but it’s just something that I know will help me relax.

I’m hoping and praying for good things over these next few weeks. They’re going to be jam packed. We have a wedding next weekend that amounts to a four day weekend in Western Kentucky (Hi Emmy! Hi Rachie!), and then I’m actually going HOME to Florida at the beginning of September. I’m going to start working on getting some fabulous guest posts together to keep you all entertained, and I can’t wait to share some of my ideas for the blog based around visiting my hometown! I want August and September to be the best months for this blog yet, and I fully believe that I can achieve that! <3

    <3 There used to be a t-shirt that said, "I'm too pretty to do math." HAH I loved it.

    Thinking of your family & you… it seems like a lot of people are getting lots of extra/new work in addition to their current jobs – can def be exhausting!

    I actually miss work. I miss the routine of getting up, working, then coming home and having a schedule of what to do. Having the summers off isn't all fun like everyone thinks.
    On friday I'll say a little prayer for your FIL. Hope everything goes well.

    I'm with you – we just moved and I'm having trouble finding time to balance everything too. If you find a solution, please share 🙂

    I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law, but congrats on the new niece or nephew coming!

    Now that I'm planning a wedding and working full time, I'm finding it harder to balance everything too!

    I hope everything goes well for you FIL and that your SIL has her baby soon! That's so exciting!
