Tiger Apparel
I’m still a sports mom. While Brodie doesn’t focus on sports with the intensity of Tylar (it’s not the focus of his entire life), he is still on the basketball, golf, and this year baseball teams at school. After awhile, I always feel like I’m in a rut when it comes to what to wear…

Snow Day
Living in the great South means that snow is fairly rare. I remember Scout seeing snow for the first time in To Kill a Mockingbird and thinking the world was ending. While it isn’t that unheard of in this part of Arkansas, it still isn’t part of our routine. Tornado warnings are routine. I would…

Jesus is King!
Last weekend in Lexington, I attended church with Tylar and Grant, and the sermon was about government and Christianity. Ooh, that could have been sticky!

We went to eat at several unique restaurants, toured the Buffalo Trace Distillery, drove through the rolling hills to see the gorgeous horse farms, and walked around the Distillery…

Living Room Decor Ideas
I am absolutely, 100% not a decorator. I love to look at house designs and home decor almost as much as I do fashion ideas. I always feel I can never create decor like I see in other homes. And while I love lots of different themes, I have a few favorite categories: minimal, industrial,…

Brodie
I was 38 when I had Brodie. Yes, old. Here’s a quick recap of the first 2 years: gallbladder surgery for me when Brodie was 7 weeks old; RSV and 3 days in the hospital for Brodie just as he turned 3 months; breathing treatments every 2 hours following that hospital stay that really messed…

Cancun Outfits
My family and I were blessed to be able to spend a few days in Cancun last week. My beautiful mom, (pictured below), takes my sister, me, and our families on a yearly vacation, (neither of my sister’s kids could go this year) and this year we spent time at the Riu Dunumar resort. When…
