Everyday I’m hustlin’

Everyday I'm hustlin'. Hustlin' to get everything done. Hustlin' to take care of my family. So today, I'm taking a mama vacation.

Learning to speak boy

Learning to speak boy

Forget my four years of college and two years of graduate school. Nothing I learned there prepared me for what I do on a daily basis....communicate with a tiny little BOY all day long. Here is where my education is lacking:  Cars, trucks, and tractors. That's about all I know...but that isn't going to cut it for much longer. Hudson is ... Read More

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
