Am I really done having babies? Is it time to close shop? Will my uterus NEVER be occupied again?  These were are only a fraction of the thoughts that have been stampeding through my mind. My cheeky babies <3 I have two wonderful kiddos. Until recently, I was CERTAIN there was one more beautiful little soul destined to be a part of our family. Actually. Let me stop lying, here’s the truth… Before having children I wanted five. I would be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool them all. After having “A”, my first, I just knew it was a one-and-done situation! The pregnancy, postpartum period ..read more

Well Hello There! We are more than one full month into 2019 and we even survived a “snow day” here in Atlanta! Ari waited ALL day for the snow to appear — and well — it didn’t. Not even any rain really. I hope that 2019 is treating you well and that you are holding on to those resolutions even if you decided not to make any (like me and my non-resolutions) I’m sure you had some areas you want to improve lingering in the back of your mind. This is a quick recap of what’s been happening on the clean beauty scene this past month! It’s basically what I include in my newsletter — you should de ..read more

The New Year is ahead and there will be lots events to plan and, I’m here to tell you about my favorite invitations from Paperless Post. I literally use these for EVERYTHING! My kids birthday parties, my husbands surprise party that didn’t happen because of rain, Christmas parties, New Years Eve, Beautycounter Socials, Game Nights — EVERYTHING! They are so CHIC and don’t look corny or cheap. I like the look way better than Evite. They are also earth friendly = no paper waste. BUT, you can also get paper invitations for super special occasions like Weddings, Baby Showers etc. Here are a few inv ..read more

I’ve decided to take a more relaxed approach — I’d like to just chat with you and share what’s been happening in my life and in this head of mine! Let me know if you enjoy this new more relaxed way of connecting. As you know from the title of this post, I was afraid of money and after doing some research I’ve discovered that the fear of money is an actual phobia referred to as  Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia. I guess there’s a name for everything huh. Anyway let’s get on with it. Did you know that just a month ago I was afraid to say, ” I want to be a Beauty Consultant because I’d ..read more

I have a confession to make. Promise not to be judgey? I used to wash my face with hand soap. Not the good stuff I’m using now, but plain old, bad for you HAND soap! OK, now that that’s off my chest let’s move on. Now that I’m 30 something I’ve gotten a bit more sophisticated with my skin care regimen (If you’d like a regimen recommendation take this quiz) I’ve transitioned from only caring about how I appear outwardly to caring 100% more about my health. OH and prevention! Taking preventative measures to preserve my health and the quality of my skin have become my focus. Why wait until the wr ..read more

I’m just here today to be real. Blogging can be an extremely therapeutic, especially when I use it as my personal journal. YALLLLLLL! Why can I not stick to Keto? Last week I wrote about the importance of having a strong WHY! I have THREE of them… THREE — but still I stray. Actually, I fall off the wagon and then it circles back around to run me over. I’m rarely physically hungry, thanks to the high amounts of fat I consume on Keto. This way of eating gives me more energy than I’ve ever had! I’m not napping! HUGE SO WHHHHHHHYYYYYY do I give in?

It’s 930 pm and I’m shoving cookies down my throat. But let me take you back several hours. I have had a wonderful low-carb day! So much energy, I didn’t even think of taking a nap (if you know me you know how I feel about naps) and I haven’t been hungry all day! The Keto is working… So why is it that all of sudden all I can think about are cookies! I am NOT physically hungry but I want the cookies. I’ve been ignoring the craving for a while now… I even fell asleep but Greg wakes me up because he’s watching Netflix in bed. Guess what? I still want those darn cookies and I can’t think of one go ..read more
