If you would have talked to me on Friday night, I would have grumbled at you while peering through sleepy eyes that I way, way, way overdid it this month. I’m not a napper, but on Friday afternoon I napped for two hours while my girls thankfully also slept, and then I went back to bed at 6:50 p.m. for… Keep Reading
9Round Versus Orangetheory: Similarities and Differences
I risk sounding quite dramatic with my next statement, but joining 9Round in Manhattan, Kansas back in December was one of the top 10 best decisions of my life. I don’t think I realized how stressed, overwhelmed, or “in a rut” I regularly felt (usually SAH mom related) until I realized how great I started to feel (equal parts mentally… Keep Reading
Turks and Caicos Destination Wedding Weekend
My college roommate Hannah had two big dreams for her future that my sorority sisters and I would all kind of giggle and dream about with her: her first big dream was to be a dolphin trainer (check!), and her second big dream was to get married one day in Turks & Caicos (check!!). Her mom has worked in television… Keep Reading

I totally cheated and snooped on my box online on… Keep Reading
Mothers Day Weekend + an Extra Grateful Heart
Mother’s Day weekend this year was just the way I prefer any ‘ole picture perfect weekend to be – a little sun, family, rest, catch-up, Jesus, and social time. Earlier in the week I had scheduled a 7 a.m. Orange Theory class for Saturday morning, but on Friday night I canceled it. We had just returned from Georgia, and my… Keep Reading
Girls Trip Across Georgia
Woweeee, what a whirlwind week we had last week! I road tripped with the girls to Savannah, Georgia (Richmond Hill for those who are familiar with the area!) to see one of my best friends, Jessica (we met while teaching next door to each other in Tennessee – fun, right?!) It was so exhausting but so much fun and absolutely… Keep Reading
The Saturday Sit-Down #67: Luke & Manda
Happy Saturday! I’m so happy to be home this morning after a whirlwind, awesome week in Georgia. I’m looking forward to celebrating Mother’s Day with my own mom and then of course the girls who call me Mom, and I really can’t ask for much more than that. This week I’m featuring Amanda as the “Saturday Sit-Down” blogger! She and… Keep Reading
