Our sweet girl turned TWO and I can’t get over how fast it all went by! I’m a little heart broken that because of COVID we weren’t able to do something amazing for her 2nd Birthday but, none the less we did everything we could to make it as special as can be. We had originally planned on taking the kids on a family vacation to Disney World and then spend a few days in Miami. We waited to...

Marley’s First Flamingle Birthday Party
May 23, 2019
It’s amazing to see what women can do when they all come together. This past weekend, we threw a little “flamingle” for sweet Marley girl. Last year, we welcomed Marley on Memorial Day, but with it being such a big travel holiday we thought it would be a better idea to throw her first celebration the weekend before! With the help of some incredible #girlbosses we were able to put together a stunning party first flamingle! Without further adieu...
Kid Friendly Restaurants in Oklahoma City | Avid Hotels
January 16, 2019
This past weekend we took a little getaway to Oklahoma City. I wasn’t expecting for us to have as much fun as we did! I thought it would be a great family getaway for some good ole R&R. Little did we know, Oklahoma City was filled with so many great eats, cute boutique stores, and endless family fun. We stayed at IHG’s newest hotel line called Avid Hotels. It was innovative, fresh and oh so comfortable! Check out our...
A White Simple Boho Nursery
June 27, 2018
Procrastination is my middle name. When Marley was born, I hadn’t had a chance to update our nursery. It was on my long list of to-do’s in order to prepare for her arrival. Lucky for me newborns don’t sleep in their own rooms right away and, apparently two year olds don’t either! (well get to that later.) To update our nursery, I added a DIY embroidery wreath wall, along with some pastel prints from Hobby Lobby. I was able...
What will it BEE?! | Gender Reveal
January 30, 2018
From touchdowns & tutus, to twinkle twinkle little star, the process of trying to decide what theme to go with for our gender reveal was so difficult. Not only was it hard for me to nail down a theme, it was so hard to figure out a unique way to do the actual reveal! After much thought, I wanted a gender neutral theme that would be easy to execute in a short amount of time, something simple. Thanks to...
Never Grow Up || Cake Smash
August 8, 2017
Dear Miles, You have changed my life in the most remarkable way. It’s a testament to how wonderful this journey through motherhood has been since I can honestly say that I would go back and do this year over again. I’m not saying it was all sunshine and daisies because there were many difficult moments but, I would do it just so I could soak up more of your sleepy smiles, your little giggles and all of your slobbery...
Made for Joy.
June 27, 2017
My life isn’t easy, I’m constantly wishing for more hours in the day, more sleep, more time to spend on writing blog posts, more time to clean. My life, some days, feels like I’m just treading water. Other days, it feels like I’m in a perpetual state of continuous mess containment. Changing diapers, feeding and the constantly feeling like I need to do more, so that I can be a better Mom, Wife & individual. I love Instagram, it...

Just a little faith.
March 23, 2017
I am in the midst of closing a major chapter of my life and I am nervous about the transition ahead. I am constantly worried about the details and how things will play out in the end and it is in these worried moments that I know I need to cling to God more than anything. Of course its easier said than done but, I found myself reaching out to the Lord, praying for him to watch over me...

This crazy weather has made getting dressed so much harder than it needs to be so this is why I decided to come up with a formula to help transition my winter wardrobe to spring! I use this precise formula to help me get dressed when the weather decides...
The Sweetest Thing | Miles’s first trip to a cupcake shop
February 8, 2017
Fact: My husband and I are late people. This is a true statement even though I hate to admit. Before we had Miles, we ran late to pretty much everything. I blame it on our inability to say no. We both try to fit in as much as possible and highly under estimate the time that it takes to get it all done. Now that we have a baby, our tardiness has gotten even worse, if we are 10-15...

The start of February means only one thing….VALENTINE’S DAY is quickly approaching (& the small fact that tax season is also approaching… for us “old people” LOL). Weather you love the holiday or dread the thought of it, you can’t escape the rows of candy & “I LOVE YOU” teddy bearsthat have lined the aisles of your local drugstore. I personally love Valentine’s Day. Not for romantic reasons but, because it is...
They warned me about Motherhood | Fresh 48 Photos
September 29, 2016
They warned me, they all said that you will never know a love like this. They all said that it is going to be the most beautiful thing that you will ever experience. And… of course, It’s not like I didn’t believe them… but somehow, I didn’t really think that it could quite actually be possible. I guess, I just had a mental block to it all. I always thought that maybe people just romanticized the idea of having...
I asked my daughter what kind of party she wanted for her birthday and her answer was an” Elsa, Mermaid Ariel, Rainbow, Glitter, Unicorn, Sprinkle Princess Party!” — I mean….. you can’t help but laugh. Her theme pretty much covered all the things that go through a 3-year-old girl’s mind! We ended up condensing her wish list to throw her a SPRINKLE PARTY at our favorite local burger joint Charcolar. The details for our party are from a few...

With the rise in COVID numbers in our city and city ordinances getting stricter once again, we are seeing things that our little ones were looking forward to getting canceled once again.
