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!!

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.

Building Our First Home

waiting for a hint of spark
I’m sharing a little walk down memory lane over on my YouTube channel this morning (watch it here). It’s so crazy to think about how fast 9 years came and went! Nate and I were just about to get married, fly to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and return to our brand new home. I remember how big that house felt when it was just Nate & I! It looked almost unlived in for the longest time while we slowly accumulated hand me down furniture and hung things on the walls.

I am so grateful for that house and all of the memories we shared there but I was so ready for this next chapter. That was the only thing that got me through taking on the wild home buying and selling process at literally the most hectic possible time – right after having a baby! But I could feel it in my bones. We needed to do this. It was time. I just knew the house that was meant for us was out there and waiting, ready. And it was.
LOVE this Window<3

It’s still so much fun to look back on these photos and think about how exciting it was to be able to BUILD our own home. We chose the floor plan and picked out every single detail. I requested that our bathroom plans be completely changed to accommodate a garden tub because that tub and a walk-in closet were my two priorities! Ha! It’s funny how things change, though I do really miss my tub! A laundry room, office, and basement were some of my top priorities for the new house and I’m so thankful we were able to find a home that had everything we were looking for. I’ll always miss our first home but it truly is amazing to me how easily I fell in love with our new home. We still have so much to do to really make it ours but it honestly felt like home the very first time I walked through the front door, look oasis natural cleaning. I’ll never forget that feeling.
