20 Things Worth Sharing!

Disclosure: This posts contains affiliate links, thanks for supporting my blog.I started blogging when my boys were babies. I made myself a little work space in our chilly Indiana basement. I'd drink my cup of coffee and write. It was back in the newer days of blogging, and I don't know if the term "influencer" even existed at that point. I feel like the word influencer gets a bad rep, but the truth is this: I hope I influence you.…

Valentine’s Day Budget Finds

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links, thanks for supporting this platform! I actually love Valentine's Day. I know a lot of people think its lame or cheesy, but I just adore Valentine's Day. I love pink stuff, chocolate, flowers, and hearts. I also love to find budget friendly ways to make the holidays special for my family. Often, I'll collect stuff at clearance times after the holiday to put away for the following year. Like, the Mad Libs I found…

All opinions are mine alone. #squeezeskippytogether #GoToYourSKIPPYPlace #skippypeanutbutter If you've followed along for any period of time, you know that 2020 was a year that really propelled me to prioritize myself. I feel like I broke out of my shell in the self care department, and began to look at self care on a less visceral level. My focus shifted to treating my deep cystic acne, moving my body every…

Date Ideas: 2021 Edition

Alright over on Instagram stories, make sure you're following me over there because I definitely feel like conversations get deep over there! (and fun, too!) Anyway, on stories the other day I was discussing feeling a bit lazy in the planning department when it comes to making date nights a priority. Sometimes, it feels expensive and stressful to even go on a date so we just skip it altogether. Honestly, have you paid for childcare recently?! Not to mention, the…

A beautiful story about football brotherhood – on & off the field!

One of my favorite parts of my work as a blogger is when I get the opportunity to watch movies and share my favorites with you. There’s no obligation I share or create movie nights for home centered around them. I screen all the families one I can, because I think family movie night is such a special time for our family. We’ve weaved that into our family culture and I take it pretty seriously. I love sharing inspiration with…

Set your day up for success with this new free printable!

I told you guys, I have felt like a hot mess lately. I feel like with Covid and being home so often, sometimes I feel like I have all the time in the world to complete my chores and work. Until I don’t. Then, I’m a scrambling mess. I just feel like the intention I usually have is gone! To be honest, it’s really affected my mood. I know our worth isn’t wrapped up in what we achieve, but I…

GODMOTHERED movie review & movie night!

You guys, I’m sorry. I know I keep telling you to watch Godmothered, but it is sooooo good. I was able to screen it a couple weeks back and it was torture to not share it with you guys sooner! It releases today on Disney+ so I can finally spill the hot cocoa about this adorable movie. It’s a precious movie that made me laugh and cry. My boys were HOWLING with laughter. It’s sure to be an instant classic…

Morning Notes: 12/3/2020

Good morning, ya'll. Greetings from this chilly Florida morning. I got so tired of wandering in my pajama pants, I treated myself to a lavish jogging set from Target this morning. At this point, my biggest compliant from surgery is my distended stomach. I guess they use some sort of air during the procedure and getting the gassy/bloaty/seriously uncomfortable feeling out is the hardest part. Try not be too jealous of how hot I am with my stool softeners and…
