Hadley’s Roadtrip Review + An Encore from Ted

If Hadley could type or even string together more than two words, she’d tell the story of our first “Mother/Daughter + the dog” road trip something like this.   Mom & Dad were acting so weird when we were getting ready to go. Mom was throwing things in the car while saying all these weird things about Grandma being hurt…. Keep Reading

Update on our Rental Property

Well, after dabbling with renting out our first little home in Tennessee for 364 days, we’re officially under contract to sell it! Woohoo! We got an email out of the blue from our property manager three weeks ago today saying that our tenants were expecting orders to move mid-March. It took Jamie and I approximately two minutes to  weigh the… Keep Reading

A Change of Plans

Hello from sweet home Alabama! Hadley and I will be hanging around down south at my parent’s house for a few weeks while Jamie’s tied up with his Army biz, but our trip is shaping up to look quite different than we imagined!  My mom gave me a ring Thursday morning with news that she’d basically shattered her right ankle… Keep Reading

Beautiful Family Weekend + a Chocolate Chip Pancake Recipe

When Jamie’s away with the Army, I miss him fiercely in both the little and the big moments. I find myself vowing a hundred times over to never take for granted our togetherness once we get it back. If he were gone this weekend, I know that I would have really missed him. Spring showed its face and Kansas was… Keep Reading

Dinner Recipe: Homemade Whole Wheat Mini Pizzas

For entertaining, we make pizzas. When we’re in the mood for comfort food, we make pizzas. When we want something homemade that doesn’t take long to prepare, we make pizzas. I have great memories of making homemade pizzas with my dad when we were younger, and my dad and I still share a love of homemade pizzas by texting each… Keep Reading

My Favorite U.S. Travel Destinations + A Bucket List

Jamie & I would love to go on a getaway sometime this year before the Army takes him for a while, so we’ve recently been tossing around destination ideas. We’re open to traveling somewhere we’ve been before as long as the destination includes warm weather, relaxation, and a heck of a lot of fun. All of our travel conversations have… Keep Reading

Makeup Products I Can’t Live Without

One of my favorite parts of being a women is being able to experiment with and wear makeup. I’ve enjoyed playing with makeup since my mom gave me the green light to do so in middle school, and I still thoroughly enjoy discovering new products and giving them a go. A trip with a girlfriend to walk around Ulta or… 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
