Now We’re Talkin!

  • T’J Fall Haul

    First off, today was disgustingly hot. I didn’t want to do ANYTHING after feeling the humidity today, but I had to run in Aldi’s for brie and olives and TJ Maxx is across the street, so.. I ran in to… Continue reading

  • 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I’ve got SUCH big news but sometimes you’ve gotta take the blessing and be quiet about it, but I tell you what, My God does awesome things!!! Sometimes when you think you’re asking for the MOST, he shows you that… Continue reading

  • Sick day!

    No fun. I slept ALL day and most of last night. My glands are so swollen and my ears hurt. Sinus stuff is just the worst. Thankful for a sweet husband who brought me tea and my favorite honey sticks,… Continue reading

  • My New Spawn

    Meet Vladimir Gluten 😊 Continue reading

  • 😍😍😍

    Find someone who understands how to gift. I woke up with this in the bed with me. 🤣🙂 Our garage door squeaks so bad and it’s SO loud. I’m always forgetting to put the clicker in my car too, so… Continue reading

  • Ugh so comfy and CUTE!

    Go get these pants. I ordered these for me and they’re so cute with sneakers and a t-shirt. I wore them today to go do some fall shopping. I’m gonna pair them with cute sweaters this winter. I like them… Continue reading

  • Honey Blonde 🍯

    I got my hair touched up yesterday and it feels so good. I went a little warmer with a honey blonde for fall. Feels like silk. 🤍 Continue reading

  • One of those Days

    Today was one of those days where as a parent, I’m wondering if I did the right thing. The incident in Georgia (the school shooting) really upset me. It kinda lit a fire under my butt to do something I’ve… Continue reading

  • Gumbo Day

    The commissary carries Conecuh sausage and we are quite happy about that! Our Walmart carries it too, but it’s much better priced there. It’s our favorite sausage everrrrr. If you haven’t tried it, and you can get it locally- just… Continue reading

  • Oh my heart.

    Can’t believe that squishy cheeked girl is about to be TEN. I had just turned 39 in this photo 🙂 Gosh time flies! Continue reading

  • Oh my gosh!

    ORDERED!!! I cannot wait. 🥰 They’re so cute! I wish they had girls sizes or XXS in Women’s. I’d love to get Norah one in her school colors. 🤍 Link! Continue reading

  • Whew.

    I decided to clean out my Spotify today. What an undertaking!! All the kids songs, podcasts, books etc. That took like 2 hours. 🤣 I only kept mine and Gary’s joint/collaborative playlist with our sentimental songs (we’re cheesy but we… Continue reading

  • Protein Boosting Again

    I backed off my high protein diet last year and I keep saying I’m going to ease back into it. I grabbed a few of my favorites today. I’m gonna enjoy our 4 day weekend and start back strong Tuesday.… Continue reading

  • Daily Prompt

    Why do you blog? WordPress asks a question everyday, and it’s enjoyable to read other bloggers responses, so I think I might start doing this.. Why do I blog? It’s cathartic to put our thoughts into words, let our words… Continue reading

  • 🤍🤍🤍

    Salt water= good stuff. We spent a good hour or so soaking last night. I love the way my skin feels when we first add salt. My hair – not so much. Continue reading

  • Yes!

    I got our tickets for Norah’s birthday 🤍🤍 She loves Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, so it’s perfect. There’s a few tributes they play through the next month but she’s not into Taylor Swift (at all) or Queen. It should be… Continue reading

  • 🤣🤣🤣

    I asked Gary to bring me a wrench tighten a barstool. Continue reading
