We had a blast celebrating Landon this weekend! I’m not usually a water park girl but even I had fun, at 7 months pregnant. I will say, the lazy river was not as lazy as I expected. I wasn’t paying attention as I was rounding up tubes and getting everyone situated when suddenly a huge bucket of water turned upside down on my head. Swipe to see my reaction right after. I don’t think Nate has ever been more pleased. 🤣 He has been waiting years for that moment.
Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, most wonderful Landon! He and Daddy went and got donuts this morning and picked out some fun books/toys at Target! I told him last night as I tucked him in bed that I cannot believe he is already SEVEN, and he responded, “Well… I’ve just been living my life!” 🙃🥲 I can’t wait to celebrate him all weekend! I love you, Landon! 💕🎈🎂
27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to t 27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to the third trimester! The last few days have been a challenge. Nate and the boys spoiled me on Mother’s Day and by the end of the day I was completely wiped out. I’m at the point where my mind feels very motivated and excited to do things but my body is now in pain doing just about anything. I could honestly sleep all day but on the flip side, I can hardly sleep at night because that’s the most uncomfortable time for me. 

I’m trying so hard not to wish this time away. These are my last lil babies. This is the last time I will be pregnant. I feel so thankful and blessed. I can tell you right now that I never in a million years imagined myself as a twin mom and I certainly did not see myself with 4 kids! I remember being unsure we would even have two! 🤯 But now it all just feels so surreal and meant to be. I just can’t help but feel so ready to meet them!

This weekend we are celebrating the one who made me a mom as he turns 7! I don’t know how that’s even possible. It makes me realize just how fast these next few weeks are going to go. Time is flyiiinggg.
Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonde Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonderful treat to relax and experience a part of my home state that I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting! We will definitely be back, as Hargis party of 6, if we’re that brave. 😂🥳
Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day tod Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day today! So thankful for this time with @natehargis1987 to relax a bit before life gets a little extra wild and tiring, in the best way. ✨
I’m just here for the key lime pie mocktails.🍹😋
I think I’ll enjoy this view for a few days. 🥰
The beautiful weather this weekend was just what w The beautiful weather this weekend was just what we needed! Going to bed tonight excited for only two more days of work before some much needed relaxation.
Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of celebrating over here! None of it would’ve been possible without Nate. He got off work and went to get a few last min presents for Cohen, picked up the cake, ordered pizza, filled all the eggs, and hid them. He sent me back to bed after lunch because I am still sick, but I was trying desperately to be better. 😐 

I’m just so glad Cohen had a good birthday and they got an egg hunt! Maybe next year we’ll make it to church with all four little ones!🤞🏻

A Post in Which I Ramble About Having Dreams and Being Passionate


If you’ve been following along with my blog over the years or you know me in real life – you probably know that I have big dreams but that I tend to let the little details get in the way. Typically when I take on a new adventure (learning a new skill, becoming a business owner, etc!) I go full force, the excitement wears off a bit, and then I’m left with the doubts about what I’ve gotten myself into. When I started taking aerial silk classes I thought about giving up several times, but I became passionate about becoming an aerialist in a way that I never expected. I wouldn’t give up because I truly loved it and so the journey of perfecting my skills started to look more like a pathway and less like a road block. I changed my attitude.

I signed up to be a Pure Romance consultant back at the end of April of this year. I remember right after I signed up I talked to A LOT of people about my new business and it felt easy because it was new and exciting. But then I found myself shying away from talking about it because I felt like I was just going to bother people. I wasn’t, but I started projecting that attitude because that’s how I felt. I accepted rejection before I was even rejected! I let my low self esteem talk me out of sharing a fantastic opportunity with other women all because I was afraid to bug them or to be asked a question I wasn’t sure how to answer. But I’ve had to remind myself that the beauty of this company is that we don’t just sell a product that no one really needs. We have customers who thank us all of the time for sharing information with them that they haven’t gotten anywhere else, customers that thank us for selling them a product that resulted in them spending time with their partner that they wouldn’t have otherwise spent, even customers who thank us for helping to save their marriages!

I said ‘yes’ to the Pure Romance opportunity because I am passionate about the products and what we stand for – Educating, Empowering, and Entertaining women. I’ve never been a salesperson of any sort (unless you count my weird ability to get people to sign up for credit cards when I worked retail, ha!) and had no interest in it at all. I became a consultant because I went to a Pure Romance party having no idea what it would be like (with a little bit of a preconceived idea of what it would be like) and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was fun and classy and there wasn’t anything embarrassing about it. It made me want to change that misconception that some people have because there is something for everyone! I always have to giggle when people say they don’t need anything because I said it too! If you shave, wear perfume, and take baths/showers – there are AT LEAST 5 products for you! ;] I also said yes for my own selfish reasons, of course! Nate and I want to be able to do life differently! We want to pay off debt, save more money, buy things for our home, travel, be able to visit my family in Florida more often, take classes that interest us, buy that pair of shoes (Nate buys shoes way more often than I do!! Ahem, being a marathoner ain’t cheap), HAVE A BABY (OH yeah, I said it), and party on the weekends until we decide to have that baby. ;] And the discounts, free products, free trip incentives, and $500 gift card drawings just for pinning things don’t hurt either.

I needed to say all of this to remind myself that this new business venture is just like the silk classes in the way that they were difficult at first but once I kept at it I built momentum and my progress snowballed. I got better and better every time I went and it got easier. I’m still learning/getting better and of course I will continue to grow based on the time and effort I put into it. And this is the exact same thing. This isn’t something to be shy about because I’m sharing something good, something that might help someone, or it might just give them a delightful bubble bath. Haha. But whatever the case may be – it’s something I want to share, not just sell someone on – share. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to run my own business and to work it as much or as little as I’d like to, to make a little extra money (or a lot!), to take extra trips, and to be able to save up for all of the “extras” in life. I wanted to write this post because I want to be able to look back in a month, six months, a YEAR – I want to remember when I made myself accountable and reminded myself that there is no limit here! I have been doing well with my goal of one party a month – that’s all I wanted when I signed up. But I see the potential for so much more now and, y’all – I’ve got to go for it!

Feel free to follow my Pure Romance blog or ‘Like’ my page on Facebook. I need you guys to keep me accountable too! What are you working on right now that you’re passionate about? Tell me in the comments and if you’ve written a blog about it, I’d love to read it!
