Hey, mama!

I’m a homeschooling mama of 3 and the wife to a long-time military man.

My laundry basket is as full as my heart and on days when all sanity is out the window, I’ll be here with my coffee mug of wine, cheersing you. Because in this crazy mom life, we should never have to drink alone.

I see you, mama! Messy bun, workout leggings, and bottomless cold brew. Although I try to seem like I have it all together at times, I can promise I don't. Please tell me I'm not the only one who can relate. ... See MoreSee Less

🛑 STOP 🛑 Are you in need of a little encouragement?!

I’ve heard women say they couldn’t do this for a career because they don’t have the time to put makeup on or to be “presentable” all day.

Can I let you in on a little secret?!
No one can! We are all human.

No one has the time to look perfect all the time. In fact, I can guarantee most of your favorite influencers, celebrities, and even your friends look like my second photo at this very moment.

It isn’t about the glamour, girlfriend. It’s about the heart.

It’s about teaching women how to see their true potential and encouraging them to thrive where they are.

It’s about helping women to look past society’s view is what normal is and to validate that their true beauty lies within.

It’s about confidence in knowing we were made for something so much greater than that for which we are aiming.

It’s about love. Love of women and mamas and seeing them succeed.

And the best part is that there is room here for you, too. There is room here to encourage and to be encouraged. There is room here to love and be loved. Because at the end of the day, we are all human. ... See MoreSee Less

Yesterday was tough. Hazel is teething molars and Yesterday was tough. Hazel is teething molars and learning to test boundaries. Aurora is four going on fourteen and has officially mastered eye rolling. Ivo is one week into second grade and is already over it. But just because yesterday was hard doesn’t mean today has to be. This morning, I was determined to start the day off on the right foot. I woke up at 5am when my alarm went off and immediately made coffee and dug into the Word. It was exactly what I needed to get into the right mindset for this new day. Being a mom is HARD and there is no instruction manual. We learn as we go and we make mistakes — and there are a LOT of mistakes. But one of the most important lessons we can take from motherhood is the lesson of grace. Giving ourselves grace is so important because NO ONE has it all together, all the time. To the single mom who works two jobs to keep afloat; I see you. You are doing a great job! To the empty nester mom who now has the privilege of babysitting your grand babies; I see you. You’re doing a great job! To the mom of a special needs child who just needs a break; I see you. You’re doing a great job! To the new mom who isn’t sleeping nearly enough; I see you. You’re doing a great job! To the military spouse mom who is solo parenting without a break; I see you. You’re doing a great job! You are amazing. All of you. Remember mama, GRACE!
I’m so thankful I found @head.kandy! Their tools I’m so thankful I found @head.kandy! Their tools and products have literally changed my hair.
If I could give every milspouse mama one piece of If I could give every milspouse mama one piece of advice, it would be this: 🌻 Don't let your husband's crazy schedule dull your shine! 🌻 Don't let PCS after PCS stop you from chasing those dreams! 🌻 Don't let the demands of your new baby put out that inner fire! You are capable of so much, especially when empowered and uplifted by other women! Two years ago, if you would've asked me if I ever thought I would be where I am today, I probably would have told you, "No way! I'm too busy for a business! My life as a stay-at-home mom is too demanding. I don't even wear makeup most days and when I do, I slop it on." Then I had empowerment and motivation breathed into me. I found my tribe and I knew it was where I belonged. And I found my place. There is a place for you here, too! Encouraging is kind of our thing! If you would like to talk about your goals, comment GOALS or go to the link in my bio. You are welcome here.
Repeat after me: I am enough Repeat after me: I am enough
I’m soooo thankful it’s beginning to warm up h I’m soooo thankful it’s beginning to warm up here!! I see pool days in our near future!! What’s the weather like where you live?
After begging me for months for me to do her makeu After begging me for months for me to do her makeup, yesterday I finally gave in. She wanted to have fun, so we had some fun! She chose the colors and I got to work. The whole time, I spoke words of encouragement into her. Telling her she’s beautiful and that makeup should never be used to cover up her own natural beauty. Then she asked, “Mama, why do you wear makeup?” My sweet, sweet girl. I told her: 🖤 Mama wears makeup because at one time, she didn’t think she was pretty. Then mama found new friends, through her makeup, and they showed her just now beautiful she really is. 🖤 Mama wears makeup because she loves art and makeup can be used as a form of creativity. 🖤 Mama wears makeup because it makes her feel good. And when she feels good, she is a better mommy. 🖤 Mama wears makeup because it gives her something for herself. Just like sometimes you like to have some alone time while you do your puzzles; it’s kind of the same thing. 🖤 Mama wears makeup because it helps her to pay for your gymnastics and for all the little extras we have. It helps mama earn money for our family while also getting to stay home and homeschool you and your brother. 🖤 Mama wears makeup because she knows she is beautiful on the inside and that she doesn’t really need it. It’s like the cherry on a sundae. It’s good without it, but the cherry on top adds just that little something extra. When we were finished, she looked in the mirror and smiled. “I think I look prettier without it.” Yea, you sure do my beautiful girl! 💕
