Dream trip to Italy almost a year ago today…..take me back, please. Beautiful places, divine fashion, amazing food, and breathtaking architecture are things I love, but they all fall short to meaningful time with good friends and family. Social media often gives the impression that glamorous moments equal a glamorous life. In truth, moments like these are 5% to the 95% of the time I’m in sweats, hair up, no makeup, no shower, chasing toddlers, with unidentified stains on my clothes. In my normal everyday life, I sometimes get caught up in the comparison trap by looking at others glamorous lives. It makes me feel guilty to post about great moments and passions of mine, as I know I’m not alone and never want anyone to feel left out or not enough. I guess this reminder is as much for me as it is anyone else who may need to hear it. Chase those beautiful life moments and feel proud to share them but remember this when you’re at home watching others “perfect lives” through a filtered screen; our feeds may be like a highlight reel at times, but real life is never a highlight reel for anyone. Here’s to celebrating the beauty, and here’s to keeping it real. Love you all!
A much needed afternoon vanilla Carmel coffee pick-me-up treat. Cheers
Life is a never-ending adventure with my husband. He still often has me on the verge of a heart attack a lot of the time 😂 but I’ve learned to appreciate it more and more over the years. No matter where we are, his mind constantly chases creative ways to elevate experiences, especially for others and my heart rate 😭. It makes him uniquely good at what he does but even more special as a dad. He’s always stretching us as a family, and our memory bank continues to grow as a result. I have a feeling my son will follow in his footsteps.
August 2, 2017 was the best day of my life. This baby boy made me a mom. The unconditional love I feel every day having another being exist outside of me that is still part of me is crazy. This boy is strong, determined, curious, smart, loving, funny, stubborn, and hard headed. All traits that I believe will take him so far in life as he grows up. He has taught me a love I didn’t know was ever possible and has taught me patients I never knew I had. He brings so much joy to my life every day. I thank my lucky stars every night for this boy of ours. Happy 5th Birthday to my Maverick. You are something special buddy.
My tribe ❤️ Take me back to the beach!
We finally got the pictures back from our family trip to Turks and Caicos! This was such a special trip. Felt like the first trip we have been on where the kids really enjoyed every moment and so did we. Here are a few. So many more but the sizes are all funky so I need to post more later! If you haven’t been to Turks & are looking for a place to go, I highly recommend!

YOU LOOK LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY! MAKES ME WANT A HOT DOG REAL BAD! If you know me…… you know me.
I’ve never seen water like this in my life or felt sand this way on my feet. Pure magic. Turks and Caicos is unreal. The beach is my happily place ☀️
Take me back! • • Finally looking back at pictures from our family trip we took 3 weeks ago to Turks & Caicos! We found one of the best smoothie/juice places I’ve ever been to with the cutest swing and I’m really wishing I was drinking one of their Cocoa Cabana smoothie this morning.
