What we've been up to recently





 Hey there! As I sit here and write this, my sweet kiddos just left to go to their dads for Christmas and will be there until school starts back in January. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon, but have plenty to do to keep me busy. :)

Oh my, this blog post has been a long time coming...

Ever since I wrote the blog post about Touching lives and technology, this stuff I'm about to say has been on my mind. 

Before I get to that, I'd like to tell you what we've been up to recently though... 

As you may know from my LIVE video, I am transitioning back to a stay at home mom. I really enjoy being a stay at home mom and understand it's not for everyone, but recently I've been able to be part of the kids Christmas events at school and it makes me so happy inside. I can't wait to get back to volunteering at their school. Aria asks me all the time, "Mommy- when are you going to be a hot lunch helper again?" :) 

Here's some pictures from Aria and Georgia's Christmas Party and Programs at their school: 

At this time, Ezra goes to a different school, so he didn't have any recent events, but I've enjoyed sitting building legos with Ezra again.






The kids also got a new Ragdoll kitten for Christmas & I'm looking forward to being home to raise that sweet kitten. The kids named him Jameson. haha! 


We also have a Bernedoodle dog named Rosie and another kitty named Lexi. I did not grow up with cats, but the kids enjoy them & they are cool to take care of! I grew up with dogs! Dogs do rule! They don't drool! ;)




We've been gaining more peace out at our new home! I love this picture of my mom and Aria out on our back deck by the fire. 




I also want to say thanks so much to the girls(mothers helpers) who help me make it happen with the kiddos! 

One of our favorite mothers helpers is back in town for Christmas and the kids loved having her over to help out! We love you and adore you Hadley Bronski! 

(this picture was from this summa when Hadley would watch the kids and take them places for me while I was working)


Okay anyways, I'm ready to get off social media and just be. Maybe forever. I need this. I enjoyed all the fun and showing off outfits, but my kids need me and I'm going to use my mind in other places and enjoy life. Thank you for all your support and love. It meant the world. 

If you need me, call me. I am a horrible texter. Don't get me wrong, I text, but its not my favorite. I'd rather hear your voice or see your eyes. Call me anytime and come over and visit anytime! 

xoxo and take care,

Hey there! Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! What did you all get into?  My kids and I have had an awesome weekend and you could probably tell that we went to the University of Kentucky football game! Shew that was an interesting night with all the delays! But glad everyone is safe from all the lightening!  We've done a lot of laying around and cuddling this weekend too!  But hey I wanted to show you a new bathing suit I got for our trip to San Antonio Hill Country! We leave in less than 30 days! I just can't tell you how excited my kids are for this trip!  I think it's a perfect suit to match bathing suits with the kids on our trip( You all know I love the matching stuff ) :) So be on the lookout for us to match at the Hill Country soon!  Alright... My sweet and stylish friend-Kelli told me about this swim suit. She was wearing it at the pool we go to and I had her send me the link ;) Thanks Kelli xoxo I've ordered it in so many colas! There are ...

Hey there! Good morning! I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up this morning so I thought I'd write this. Oh goodness it's early! I am getting ready to head into the dental office. My first patient is at 7:00 A.M. Up and at 'em!   I'm filling in a few days for my good friend and hygienist, Stacy this summa, so she can be present with her 3 kids. In her dental operatory she has the cutest photo frame that her kid(s) made her! It says on the frame that she is the best mom ever with a picture of her three kids. So precious.  Thanks Beaumont Family Dentistry for allowing us to do what we do and be mommas. I know not all can take time off but I love how others can work together to make things happen.  On another note- this rain has got to GO here in KY(haha) Under my deck & Trampoline it's so muddy and my dog choses to just roll in it all the time!  Okay, lets get to the point of this blog title! I truly think there are 5 secrets to a beautiful smile and that...
