HELLO sweet friends! It's been a few days, right? Sometimes I forget that Sunday nights are actually kind of work nights for me and that I probably shouldn't slack off...but that's the nice thing about my job and being my own boss. Plus my amazing parents are in town so we took Sunday off to just rest and relax and spend time together!   I have some really fun recipes and posts coming up, but I had to start with this lovely one I did for Riceland a few weeks ago. These little guys are ... continue reading...

[via]   Earlier this week I was reminded exactly why I don't like tornado season - y'all, IT'S FLIPPING SCARY! The sirens were going off, the rain was blowing sideways into our windows, the TV froze up so we had to watch the radar on our phones, and I was shaking like a LEAF.   When I was growing up in West Texas we would have warnings all the time and I never once saw a tornado. I remember one night driving home from volleyball practice the radio DJ was saying that they had ... continue reading...

So yesterday the boys woke up from their naps and I was all, "HEY! Let's go on a walk to our favorite playground and have some FUN!" And then I looked outside and you guys? It was so humid that I could actually see the air. I don't think I've ever experienced that before - have you? I mean, if you can actually see the air because of how saturated it is with water? Seems a little crazy to me.   Needless to say we drove to said playground, blasting the A/C the whole way, and then ... continue reading...

Do you ever have weeks where you just really love the things you find on the internet? There's no doubt it can be a sketchy place, but other times there's a lot of good. This week is one of those times.   ALSO last weekend? Remember when I was talking about how excited I was about all the fun to be had? TOTAL BUST. W ended up with an ear infection and a case of pharyngitis which landed us in an urgent care Sunday morning. YAY, but not really. I'm just so relieved that he's better now, ... continue reading...

This post is sponsored by Florida Citrus; all opinions are my own. The majority of my life these days is filled with thoughts that are consumed with the things that my kids eat, drink, say (or don’t say) and do (or don’t do). It’s a job that I enjoy almost all the time - because let’s be honest, I’m not perfect and neither are they so sometimes it’s hard. But I love being a mom to my two sweethearts more than just about anything else in the entire world. You guys probably already know ... continue reading...

[via DesignLoveFest]   I like free stuff, don't you? Free T-shirts, food, books - you name it, I'd probably take it! How lucky are we to live in a world with all of this amazing free stuff at our fingertips every moment of every day?! I love finding new ways to organize life and make technology a little prettier, and I couldn't help but compile a list of a few things I really like to share with people I really like - YOU!   XOXO Heather   An incredible resource ... continue reading...

YOU GUYS IT'S FRIDAY. Praise the Lord, amen.   This week was a little nuts; Nate was out of town for a couple days and during the time he was gone baby boy came down with an ear infection. Which meant little sleep for mom, lots of screaming and crying for both boys, and the dogs might have a few more grey hairs. Lord knows I have plenty more...   BUT. I'm not going to focus on that because I'm SO THANKFUL that we have access to great doctors and medicine to help heal my ... continue reading...

This post is sponsored by FLYJOY; all opinions and stories are my own. I have a soft spot in my heart for funny stories; my dad would always end our bedtime routines with a funny story about himself as a boy, usually getting into trouble with his brothers and sister, and they stand out as some of my favorite parts of the day. As we've all gotten older I've had the chance to listen to my aunt and uncle share their side of the story, which always had a new dramatic twist. Those larger-than-life ... continue reading...

Happy Monday friends! You guys, this weekend - ugh, just so good. Great weather, great time with my guys, great food (probably a little too much of it, but you know...weekend), great friends. I was listening to this episode of Jamie Ivey's Happy Hour podcast with Jo Saxton, and she asked Jo what she felt helped her to move past the identity crisis that is being a mom of young kids. The very first thing Jo said was giving thanks for what has been, giving thanks for the moments that led up to this ... continue reading...
