The Saturday Sit-Down #22: Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust

There are several reasons I’m really thrilled to feature my friend Heather for today’s “Saturday Sit-Down” feature! She’s a friend from college who lives back in my hometown, and she also has two little girls who are both just a few months older than my girls. As moms, we have so much in common, so I find her extremely relatable. It’s… Keep Reading

Hey hey friends, and Happy Friday!

We’re so excited for our Ash. There’s a great group of girls going, and I’m just crossing my fingers for a… 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
