A Second Animal Themed Birthday Party for John -- Birth Story Included
Lifestyle Fashion Health Beauty
Happy new year! Read this promise today and wanted to share it in hopes that it encourages you as much as it did me! “I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. When you come looking for me you’ll find me...” (Jeremiah29:11-13... msg) I have lots of plans, goals, and dreams for 2019, but God’s plan is far greater than I could ever think or imagine! His timing is perfect (even if everything screams something else), His love is unconditional, and His grace is never ending 🤯☺️ Cheers to a fun ride and tons of sandy beach days here in 2019! #evenifwefreezeourbuttsoff 😜#newyear
We came and we saw our NY city Christmas! The best part (honestly) - coming back to the hotel to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas and eat chocolate chip cookies together snuggled in bed! Lol Christmas wrapping is almost done 🙃 and we’re ready to enjoy a little calm before for the crazy fun Christmas festivities!! I hope you get a little bit of calm in too! #2018 #nyc #christmas #tradition ✨GIVEAWAY✨ John being his silly little self!!

Extra entry if you post in stories Giveaway will be open until this Thursday (Dec 13th) at 9pm EST. Winner will be announced Friday! ps: come see my insta story of us at the Christmas tree farm!! ☺️ Put some Christmas twinkle in John’s room and feeling out his new “bed” 😜 Mike made this little transitional cutie and John loves it!! We’re taking baby steps over here! Lol Mike’s next project is making John a toy ark (Noah’s ark 😉) for Christmas!! 🤫 John will run into a room where Mike and I are and yell “moddy”! He’s done this since he could talk. We’ve learned it’s a combo of mommy and daddy! 😂 I consider it our celebrity nickname 😜😂 So very thankful for this silly boy! Hope you all had a happy and fun Thanksgiving! Now, if you know of a good sale on chunky knit sweaters let me know 👇🏼 #blackfriday 👀😜 I love John’s leg hugs. I didn’t love the stuff that came before and after this one though 🤪 but nevertheless I loved it. Sometimes the stuff that comes before or after a good thing can distract me from there even being a good thing at all! Focusing on the good is on the agenda. We’ve had a kind of crappy week (🤒🤧😷) so I know it’s hard, but even when it doesn’t look good, feel good, and is all around bad sometimes, God is good. His unconditional love and grace will lead us to the good. That’s my resolve. And John’s huge hug (he runs to the farthest part of the house and then charges at you like a rhino lol) that was today’s good thing! Lol What’s your good thing today? #foodforthought and cheers to the weekend guys!! #happyfriday Putting on makeup in the pretty light ✨ We planned our day and then the day got away from us. It’s looking like pjs and paw patrol at the moment. At least my makeups on! ✌🏻Lol Happy Saturday friends 😘#smudgesarefrommymirrornotafilter 😜 Would you believe me if I told you that this wall belongs to the back of a towny, dive bar? 😂 Yep, no cool, luxurious location here. I had no clue until we drove away. 🤣 All I thought was that I found a cool colored wall as we were driving... 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol My take away: don’t judge a book by its cover 😜✌🏻 Also, when I look at this pic all I can think of is, “I’m a little tea pot short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout...!” 🎶 😂 The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 😜We haven’t posted much over here (life + I like insta stories better 😉) but wanted to come say hi, hope you’re having a 👌🏻 week, and we ❤️ you! We’re weekend ready! 🎃🍂🌾🌞👏🏻 #fallvibes John my hat stealer. His face tho 😯 lol I’m not sure who he gets his wit from (cough🙋🏻‍♀️😉) Ok it’s probably Mike, but I love it!! Hope you had a happy Sunday!! I know, I know. It’s October 1st and summer in my book is officially over 😭 I’m just day dreaming about this spot, these chairs, those potted plants, and how I can get them in my house!! Lol I promise to post all the apple picking, pumpkin picking, and fall fashion pics after this one - maybe 😜 Can you tell I’m not very good with change 🤣😂 #workingonit ☀️ ☀️ And I cracked open my computer, and met my long lost friend “my blog” and wrote a little update about our fam if you want a quick read. Summer 2018 pics included! 😉 John’s first day of preschool - 2 weeks late! 😬 Oops! John is totally cool with school lol (so far) He doesn’t cry and just waves goodbye 😢 And when I try to pry about his day all he says is it was good mom 🤨 So he’s not “home sick” at all, BUT today he’s literally home sick! 🤦🏻‍♀️ (thanks pre k 🙃) Is it cool if I send my kid to school this season with a mask 😷😜😂)#anotherreasonwhysummerismyfav Happy weekend friends!! Holding on to John (for dear life lol) so we can see this beautiful view over the weekend 🙌🏻 This morning I had to hold on to my dear sanity 😜 I woke up tired,foggy, achy, and just blah! This scripture helped! I replace the ‘you’ with ‘me, my, I...’ lol Ephesians 1:18 I ask—ask the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! Cheers to more energy and boundless strength this week!! 💪🏻 Summer 2018. John overcame his nb sleeping patterns 🙏🏻 I got myself an amazing therapist (I highly recommend it) I also managed to give myself a 2nd degree burn and I have the massive scar to prove it 🤣 Mike and I got to get away for the FIRST TIME without John and it was 😍 And we spent most of our days here at our happy place - the beach!! And tomorrow John takes on pre k!! If you need me I’ll be the mom waiting in my car in the parking lot 😶✌🏻#summerlovin #allthefeels Tonight’s sunset beach shenanigans 🌞🌊 #saltlife #myworkout John went boogie boarding for the first time yesterday and loved it!🤙🏼 Without any hesitation he just went for it! I was too busy making sure he didn’t fall off to take a pic of it! Lol. We’re gonna miss summer!! Already trying to plan a winter beach getaway! 😜 Mike and I were up with the sun today! After exploring pockets of Miami (south beach and the wynwood art district 👌🏻) and our late late night talks on the beach (best part of our trip), we are home with the greatest gift God has ever given us! JOHN!! Although we would love to wake him up and fly right back to this spot with him! #sundayfunday
