I'm just a twenty something stay at home mama trying to do my very best to be awesome at my job. I love Harry Potter, crafting, coffee, red wine and stretchy pants. I used to be a world traveler but I've settled down (for now) to have babies. I'm married to my best friend James and I'm a dog mom to Niko (Goldendoodle) and Rahksi (Chinese Crested). Read More…

Happy 6th birthday to Leopold! How am I a mom to a

Happy 6th birthday to Leopold! How am I a mom to a SIX YEAR OLD!? 🥴🥴🥴 I couldn't be luckier that Leopold chose me as his mama. What an awesome kid he is! 🥰

Since we did our big beach trip yesterday, today was less fanfare but still special! I took him to Starbucks before school and dropped off some cupcakes for him to share with his class. He got some extra attention at school for his special day which he loved. After school he played with his gifts and then we met his grandparents at his restaurant of choice- @wafflehouseofficial ! This is the 2nd year he's chosen Waffle House as his birthday meal. Love how easy he is to please 😆. They have treated him so special both years too! He ordered a waffle and they gave him two waffles and a plate full of food, plus orange juice AND lemonade, when he couldn't decide which he wanted more.

Then we had soccer and came home to enjoy a little bonus screen time 😂😂.

We love you Leopold!

Sometimes you just need a little vitamin sea 🌊. We played hooky from school today and surprised the kids with a day trip to the beach! It was so good for all of us to breathe in a little salty air and feel the sun on our skin 🌞. Here's to a good night's sleep on Leopold's birthday eve!

I can't let the day pass without a tribute to my little bestie, my first sidekick, and the one who loves me more than probably anyone else in the world ❤. It's #nationalsonday apparently and I've got a great one! He's got a huge heart, sensitive spirit, and just enough grit and confidence. He can make friends with just about anyone and is the best brother Finley could have ever asked for! I'm so glad I have a son like you, Leopold!

Since y'all know my secret now (that I'm vaccinate

Since y'all know my secret now (that I'm vaccinated) I'm a little less scared to talk about it.

It was a hard decision for me, mostly because many people in my immediate family are vocal about their doubts and anti-vaccine status. Once I took a step back and did my own research + spoke to others outside my immediate circle I realized- my family's opinion does NOT have to be my opinion. I'm allowed to feel differently and I'm allowed to learn things for myself instead of just believing what they tell me.

It's okay to be the black sheep every now and then 😏. If someone close to you is going to hate you for your choices... that's not your problem and those aren't truly your people 🤷🏼‍♀️ that's a "them" problem.

Anyway, if you need extra incentive to get the shot, there are going to be special vaccination pop-up events in SC where you can get vaccinated (for free) and be eligible for awesome prizes at the same time 🎉.

Happy 3rd birthday to my sweet and spicy little princess!

Finley loves "coffee", Disney princesses, puppies and frogs, gymnastics, tomatoes, and her dog Kit! She is so sweet and loving but can also be a total joker who likes to be naughty just to see your reaction (I think she gets that from her daddy).

We went to Starbucks, the zoo, grouchos, then had her request- pizza- for dinner. Check out my stories to see some highlights from the day! Swipe to see Finley as she's grown ❤.

We love you Finley!

Finley and Kit = BFF ❤
We took Kit to soccer tonight to try and acclimate her to more noises/people/smells. She gets so scared and nippy with strangers but she did pretty well tonight and even made a couple friends!

I am vaccinated! And I have been fully vaccinated

I am vaccinated! And I have been fully vaccinated since May, but honestly I have kept it to myself and only told a few people.

I got vaccinated to help protect myself and those around me, and honestly, because I didn't want to feel obligated to wear my mask 😆. Sure, I was skeptical at first…I know a lot of people are! What changed my mind?

First… I believe that vaccines work. I'm pro-vaccine just in general.

I found a few different credible sources and read up on how they were made, how long they actually took to make them, possible side effects, what happened when the vaccine entered my body, and more. I did not get my information from YouTube, a politician or podcast, Facebook or a family member. I weighed all the what ifs in my brain and ultimately just went for it!

South Carolina is not exactly the easiest place to be a vaccinated person lately 😆 but we are out here doing it and you can too!

Happy 3rd birthday to my bonus baby, my internet daughter- Ariah! It's been a pleasure to watch you grow! How cute are these 3 together!?!

#ad // Fall is approaching, and it wasn't until I got married and had kids that I realized "fall allergies" were even a thing!

The kids seem to have inherited that trait from their dad (Leopold more than Finley) and the sniffles have already begun around here- especially after soccer practice and rolling around in the grass!

We use a number of things to combat these allergies/colds/sinuses...and now I have one more tool in my arsenal- @boogiewipes bath fizzies! These extra fizzy bath bombs make bath time a lot more fun and pack a powerful punch to knock out congestion and make breathing easier. The eucalyptus scent smells amazing too. Leopold says it smells like candy canes! These bath bombs also come in a lavender scent to help your little one relax and sleep easier. You can find these on Amazon or
on boogiewipes.com.

Guess who's back, RBZ?? 🦁🐯🐵 I decided to

Guess who's back, RBZ?? 🦁🐯🐵
I decided to pick up a part time job at my old stomping grounds so I could fill in the gaps while James is still unemployed- and hopefully beyond that for some extra $$$. I work with catering this time, not retail, and y'all...yesterday had me feeling all kinds of ways.
Here's a summary of my first day back since 2014:
I got there at 2:30 pm to fill out paperwork and get my uniform(s). At 3ish I was driven via golf cart with the team (4 of us- the boss + 3 catering peeps) up the hill to the garden. We had one other manager up there for most of the night to help us...but essentially there were 5 of us for an entire wedding of about 100 people. That's setting up the chairs, tables, food prep, serving appetizers for cocktail hour, plating and serving salad and the the main course and of course clearing empty plates after. Then when all the guests left (11pm) we had to wash hundreds and hundreds of dishes, break everything down, take trash, and more. At this point there was only 4 of us 🤯.
I left for home at 2:20 am with about 26k steps on my fitbit and useless nubs of feet that are now covered in blisters because I made the mistake of wearing new shoes 😭😭😭.

Honestly- I really liked being back at the zoo behind the scenes. I have a lot of fond memories of the place and I really liked all the people I met yesterday ♥. But I learned some lessons too...
-Buy a chub rub stick because my inner thighs are also blistered 😅
- Bring a bigger bag with band aids, snacks and a water bottle (oh yeah no breaks for us- gotta eat when you get 3 seconds to rest haha)
- Wear comfortable, already broken in shoes, ya dummy! 🤪
- Invest in some energy drinks to bring along.

Last night I was feeling very excited, then exhausted, and at a couple points, ready to throw in the towel and just bail 😆. But as exhausted as I am this morning, I'm excited to try again this week when I get to work one of my favorite events- zoofari! We shall see if it's still my favorite after that!
Lastly, if you want a part time job that's super flexible and will get you in great shape...come work with me! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE 😂😂😂.

Finley's 2nd week of soccer sure started off on the right foot ⚽️⚽️⚽️😴😴😴

Girlie woke us up at 5:30 (she's usually asleep until 9 or 10 if we let her!) So she conked out real quick on the way to practice! Then she proceeded to stay asleep through us walking to the field and my laying her down. Very unlike her! Luckily she went to bed with only minimal issues tonight 😅.

We had a special zoo day today since the weather was so nice!

I finally got to try out the @tushbabyshop hip seat that we were gifted a few weeks ago! It's pretty cool for lots of ages and stages but its nice for us because there are times when I don't want to (or can't) bring the stroller, but a whole baby carrier is a bit much for miss up and down, up and down. This tush baby seat saves my back and carries all my necessities too! Not to mention it fits in very nicely with our cheetah print vibe 😂😂

Day 15 of my "75 Soft" challenge. Not gonna lie, I

Day 15 of my "75 Soft" challenge. Not gonna lie, I am kinda crushing it 💪🏻. This challenge is a gentle guide and something tangible to mark off at the end of the day. It's not strict or guilt inducing or something with rigid rules (like the 75 hard 😅). "Eat well" to me means getting a balanced variety of foods throughout the day. I'm not cutting anything or forcing a certain way of eating...
I'm just eating to fuel my body, power my workouts, and make myself happy 😊.
While James was still at work I was doing a 45 minute aerobic video at home after I dropped Leopold at school. For the hopefully brief time he's here at home in the mornings, I've been hitting the gym. It's so empowering to get to sweat it all out for 2 hours and then go home and it's only 9am 🤯🤯🤯.

Here's to keeping this momentum going!

First day of fall soccer! What a HOT MESS 😂😂

First day of fall soccer! What a HOT MESS 😂😂 Yes they are on the same team - along with one of Leopold's friends.

Dear coach- I'm so sorry I did this to you 😅. I'll step in as assistant coach as needed, please forgive me. To the other parents on the team...I hope you weren't looking to go to the championship 😆 (there isn't one anyway).

Are your kids doing any sports this season?

Yeah...we went to @spirithalloween today 👏🏻. It's in a new spot this year and MUCH smaller but we always love visiting! I also may have had my first pumpkin cream cold brew of the season 🤭🎃.
Are you a pumpkin spice fan, or do you hate it??
