Thanksgiving

While I love Christmas just as much as the next person, I'm not ready! Mentally or financially! lol. -Anyone else feel like as soon as Halloween was over everyone on social media seems to think it's now Christmas?! I want every holiday to have it's glory. So I dedicated this first official blog post on Thanksgiving! May seem a little silly, but I absolutely love Thanksgiving! Mainly because there is no real obligation but to enjoy my pie and be with my family! I'm also a lover of tradition. Every year, my husband, my parents, and I go down to my Grandma's house where it's home made EVERYTHING! It's amazing! She reminds me that she's getting older and she doesn't know how much longer she will be able to put on her Thanksgiving dinner, so each year I cherish it more and more. After a full belly of food and relaxing with the fam, my mom and I do our annual Black Friday shopping trip! No one can shop like me and my mom! We literally shop until we drop at 5am!
The next day, my husband Tyler and I go buy our real Christmas tree, blast christmas music, and decorate the house for Christmas! This is one of my favorite weeks of the year! What are some of your traditions with friends or family this time of year?
Activity: This week, let's make a list of all the people, things, or memories we are thankful for in our lives! Here's mine...

How to roll with the change

Although I've still been going into my office Tuesday-Friday at church, I'm starting to feel a little trapped on my weekends at home... And I just got word that I will be working from home staring tomorrow. These past couple weekends I've found some tips and tricks for me to not feel so stuck during this time. I hope some of this helps you as well! Note: this is all based off my personal experience and opinion.  1. Get dressed!  I know this sounds so simple! I found on the days I actually get ready (not full glam) but a normal outfit (for me leggings/joggers and a sweatshirt) I found I feel more motivated to get things done! The days I stay in my pajamas I end up just wanting to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the couch all day long! Not saying there is anything wrong with that! But I also NEED to get some stuff done around the house and I just found that getting dressed helps me to do it! 2. Adjust your focus. When I start focusing on the...

Happy October! - It's baby month!!

It's been ahile since I've had time to update my blog! Thank you so much to those of you who have been following along with me on my social platforms! It means the world to me. Today is October 1st, which means it's baby month!! I cannot believe it! I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER! At the same time, I can't believe baby Chloe will be here in 3 short weeks!I have been doing everything I can to prepare, yet I still feel so scared of the unkown. I'm going to be honest with you, I have never even changed a diaper before! So my experience with babies is little to none. But I know God puts that natural mother instinct into us women to care for our babies. So I just keep reminding myself of that. We had a beautiful unicorn themed baby shower back in July and Tyler and I did our maternity photos with Morgan Maria last month. The nursey is ready to go and hospital bags are packed! Now I am just trying to enjoy the last couple weeks of it just being Tyler and I - the...

Well the big secret is out! Tyler and I are going to have a baby this October!! While this was a pretty huge surprise for us we are so excited! I was saying before we found out that we're pregnant how I want to get more prepared before we start having kids by paying off our credit cards, getting better about managing our money, to get physically strong and fit....but I'm now realizing we have the rest of our lives to do those things! Goals are great don't get me wrong, but God's timing is perfect and I think I was just using those things as an excuse because deep down I was unsure if I was really ready to become a mom! Ever since finding out that I'm pregnant I'm really seeing God's hand on all of it. I've always wanted to be pregnant in the summer time and I used to always think about how October is a great month to have a birthday! (Everyone is back from summer vacation and it's before the holidays) to find out I am due Oct. 20th and I'll be ...
