Every year around this time, this annual family planning post becomes one of the most visited on my website. This meeting is something Matt and I intentionally sit down and plan together before the new year begins, and it has become one of the most helpful things we do for our family. This is a …

I’m so honored (and honestly still a little in disbelief) that our family was featured in the October issue of South Charlotte Neighbors Magazine. The article shares a look back on my journey through a prophylactic double mastectomy ten years later, how Matt and I first met, and the life we’ve built here in Charlotte …
Last week, I put up an Ask Me Anything question box on Instagram, and you guys came through with some fun questions! I thought I’d share a few of them (and my answers) here in case you missed it—let’s dive in!
I recently had a few readers share with me how much they LOVE the Hug Journal in their house! While ours moves pretty slow back and forth, it’s still going and it’s always a fun surprise when I find it on my nightstand. We started the Hug Journal a few years ago and I wanted …
Sharing a day in our life, morning, or evening routines are always the most highly requested topics whenever I poll y’all for blog post ideas. Since summer is quickly approaching and our morning routine will change quite a bit then, I wanted to share our current typical’ish routine for school/work mornings. Before I take you …
I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos from our annual family photo shoot this year! I was so dang excited to secure a mini session with Cheyenne Schultz this year. She did an amazing job capturing our ENTIRE family — including Mabel and Sprinkles! I have already framed every single one of …
Tomorrow marks 2 weeks in our new home! It’s been a whirlwind getting moved into our house and I have SO MANY UPDATES for y’all! I cannot believe how much has happened in such a short amount of time. We are truly running on fumes and adrenaline at this point to keep the momentum going …
I love the fresh start to a new year. I love a renewed enthusiasm for purposeful changes. And I love the energy that comes from creating new rhythms and healthy routines. It’s only been a few weeks, but one of the biggest changes I’ve made so far this year has been getting up much earlier …
We have some big news to share… WE ARE MOVING! We are staying in Charlotte, but moving out to the suburbs. While I knew this move was in the cards at some point in our future, I definitely did not think Matt would get me to move out to his dream neighborhood this soon! As …
I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos from our annual family photo shoot this year! We again used Demi Mabry and she is just pure magic. Our kids adore her and she makes the experience so much fun for them too. Family photos are always a little chaotic but I’m here to …
On November 5, Matt and I celebrated 11 years of marriage — and I’m finally sharing our vow renewal that I’ve promised so many of you…a year later! While the first decade seemed to fly by, the past year since the renewal has gone by even faster. So much has happened in our lives since …
So…I’m reporting back with an update from my dermatology visit back in July in hopes that it encourages you to get your skin checked annually if you don’t, or to go see your doctor if something feels off to you. Earlier this summer I decided to make an appointment (outside of my annual skin check) …
