I loved this topic when I saw it a few weeks ago because it gives me the perfect opportunity to answer where we came up with Hadley’s name. A bunch of people have asked, so I’m happy to share our decision-making… Keep Reading

Dear Military Spouse Facing Your First Deployment

My TimeHop app has been flooded with pictures the last few days surrounding my husband’s first deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 – the “good luck” cake, the big family gathering, the packing, the tears, and that one final (for a while) kiss goodbye. I was such a wreck saying that “see you later” to my brand new husband, but I… Keep Reading

Slice of Life: Vol 2

This springtime weather is definitely making Kansas grow on me a bit. It’s been gorgeous here! The humidity is low, the breeze is fabulous, and the temperatures have been perfect with highs sitting anywhere between 60 and 80. We’ve heard the summers around here are really brutal, so we’ve been trying to spend as much time outside as possible the… Keep Reading

Selling Our Tennessee Home: Two Weeks Until Closing

Popping in this morning with an update of where we’re at with selling our first home/current rental property in Tennessee (Fort Campbell). Things are slowly but surely moving right along! A few weeks ago I let the cat out of the bag that we are under contract to sell the home. Everything up until that point was smooth sailing, and… Keep Reading

Stitch Fix #5 – April 2015

Another month, another Stitch Fix box! As far as first glances go, this stack of clothes was my favorite. I genuinely was hoping that everything was going to fit perfectly because I really liked each item I pulled out of the box. Here we go! I love everything about this dress – the way it fits, the thicker, higher quality,… Keep Reading

The Last Few Days & Our Road Trip Home

I love to travel and be on the road and just go, but I also really just love to come home. I’ve heard that a lot of people are this way. 🙂 Heading down south for a month while Jamie was in California was a really great idea for a number of reasons, but being able to spend so much… Keep Reading

Meet Erica

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you!

I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos.

I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 5, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!)

I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
