I’m back after 10 months!

Well hello there to my old readers and possibly to new ones! I’ve been missing my blog so much over the last few months, but I just couldn’t seem to muster up the creative energy to give it a whirl again. One of the main reasons that I’ve loved blogging over the last few years is because this site has… Keep Reading

13 days, five cheerleading practices, two new-teacher orientations, one spring cleaning, and two cheer bonding nights at our house stand in the way of me and Costa Rica.   Oh my stars, I cannot wait.

Changes and Challenges – One year as a public speaker

On April 26, 2011 I met a man who would lead me to an experience that would change my life. His name is Darrell Scott.  Darrell lost his middle child, Rachel Joy, on April 20th, 1999 when two students entered Columbine High School and opened fire. Rachel was the first student shot and killed that day. She was sitting outside… Keep Reading

The last few months…

Jamie and I have officially been playing “house” for almost three months now, and we are so loving life together. Sometimes I catch myself taking him being home for granted, and then I remember how long I’ve waited to live together. Life is good! And busy. Hence my lack of blogging lately. Here’s what we’ve been up to the last… 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
