May 9, 2022

coloring a mandala with markers

Mental Health is something that is getting a lot of good press lately, and I am here for it. As someone who has suffered for years of depression, anxiety, PTSD, even post-partum depression, I am so happy that companies are marketing how mental health is just as important as your physical health. Self care is so very important. As moms, you can feel yourself being stretched so thin. School, ...

What Moms REALLY Want for Mother’s Day

April 21, 2022

What moms really want for Mother's Day

It's a given that Moms are the glue that holds the family together. One of my favorite country singers, Luke Bryan, has a song that's called, "Most People are Good," and one of the verses is "most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood." This really resonated with me, which inspired me to make this post about what Moms REALLY want for Mother's Day. It's not all breakfast in bed, handmade ...

April 6, 2022

Ok. Truth time. Confession time. I have a chronic illness. I have CIDP, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy. In simple terms, my body is attacking my nerves.

And the plastic coating on top of the cord is your myelin. My body is ...

Host Thanksgiving Stress-Free: Free Printable Plan Host Thanksgiving Stress-Free: Free Printable Planner & Checklists for Moms

💊 $2,098. That’s the retail price for just ONE mon 💊 $2,098.
That’s the retail price for just ONE month’s supply of FOUR necessary medications.

Because of my husband’s amazing insurance through his employer, our copay is only $10 each. 🙏

But without that coverage? We’d be looking at over $2,000 every month—just to stay healthy.

Families shouldn’t have to choose between medicine or food. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s heartbreaking.

Healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury or a privilege. It’s a basic human need.

So when you see Democrats fighting to protect healthcare coverage—this is why. 👏

Because without it, millions of families like ours would be priced out of staying alive.

The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this s The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this summer where sweat isn't dripping from my face or I look like a troll under a bridge. It was a busy summer. I took time away from my blog & socials to fill my cup☕️. 

Going forward, I hope to still be active here on IG, but know I need time away from scrolling. I am not a fashionista. I am a shorts & tee girl, messy bun, my hair is mostly dry shampoo by the time Friday rolls around. I don't wear fake nails or eyelashes. It's just not me. 

The mental mind f*ck that is social media tried to get me to be someone I am not. I am finding that I enjoy writing on my blog more. Creating printables, worksheets, checklists, gift guides etc than posing in outfits I buy specifically for content that I don't even feel comfortable in. 

There are better women than me on here that do a great job of this, and I get huge doses of imposter syndrome. I was spiralling. Never feeling good enough. And that just isn't healthy.

I also don't want to be tone deaf. I know our country is in crisis right now, thanks to our so-called "leaders." If you support our current administration, please just unfollow me now. I know families are struggling to put food on the table. I know parents are choosing between paying the bills or medicine. Kids are watching as their parents are dragged away by masked men. And the list goes on and on. 

I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm exhausted. And my kids need me now more than ever as we are navigating 4th & 7th grades. So if you're still here, thank you. Please check out my blog, sign up for my emails because I am very more active there!

My goal is to continue to spread positivity and relatable content to other moms, resources to help you in everyday life, and to use my space as a creative outlet to fill my cup up. 

I appreciate you all. Here is a recommendation if you're in the Nashville area, try @brunchcollectivetn for some amazing coffee, food and atmosphere!

Happy September, talk soon.
