Rainbow Princess 4th Bday Party

It seems like only yesterday I was holding my little Jai Bird as a bundle in my arms. What happened to that tiny human who was more content to sit in my lap as a baby??

She has changed a lot in a good way. On the daily, I feel like I’m experiencing a petite human rainbow child. Jai Bird has the nerve to vividly stand out against the backdrop of life. She rarely shirks from a challenge, is a copious risk taker, and has little problem being direct about who she is or what she wants.

In order to celebrate all things her, we decided to throw a bright colorful rainbow party at Lone Star Gymnastics for her birthday 🌈

Come On Barbie, Let’s Go Party

When I was a kid, I didn’t think too much of dolls. I remember enjoying my Polly Pocket (I’m of the era where they could actually fit in your pocket lol). I also had a Popples stuffed toy that I really loved and a baby doll that I could feed.

Of all the toys I can distinctly remember playing with, I do remember my gymnast Barbie the most. This was during a stage in my young life where I wanted to start gymnastics and be just like Dominique Dawes.

I saw the value in playing with various dolls throughout my childhood, so when my oldest requested a Barbie themed birthday, I was like “Say less” 😂

What An Elephant Doesn’t Forget

Have you ever been to the Fort Worth zoo? Or any zoo for that matter? We have been on several occasions and it’s always amazing BUT anytime we’ve gone a teeny tiny part of me wishes we could get just a little bit closer to some of the animals in a safe way (like the time we fed a lion in Las Vegas). Well months ago I just so happen to come across a lady who told me about elephant encounters. Of course I was all ears and began plotting a way for us to have that amazing experience for my girls during summer break.

In the town of Hugo Oklahoma, there’s an unsuspecting elephant preserve called Endangered Ark Foundation. The foundation exists to service retired Asian elephants and keep them thriving as they live out the rest of their lives.

Fear The Ears: How To Do Magic Kingdom On A Whim

According to a vague explanation from my dad, apparently I’ve been to Disney World as a child. To back up this claim, he has a single cropped picture of me at age 2 sitting on a curb. There’s nothing remarkable about the location. There’s no Disney theme backdrop, I’m not holding anything Disney related, and there are no magical characters hanging out nearby. I don’t remember going to Disney World and it’s a running joke in our family that because there’s a lack photo proof I most certainly haven’t been 😂

Circle N Dairy Farm

This summer I have made the decision to do a weekly big activity with the girls to get their little brains thinking about all the things there are to learn about in our big ole world. I wanted a way to keep them engaged during the summer months, so participating in unique adventures has been a great bonding experience for us ladies.

Make The Most Of May: Part 2

I’m back again with the last half of what went down in the month of May. If you read Part 1, you know I had three different speaking occasions sprinkled throughout the month. Not only was it a busy time for me, but we also had events surrounding my little Buzzy Bee. She had an end of year field day, graduation, a ballet recital, just to name a few 😅. Even though it easily got overwhelming, I tried to make the most of each event by slowing down my mommy brain and breathing in those milestone moments.

Make The Most Of May: Part 1

May had been a month full of me talking a lot lol. I decided to give it its own special post because every week there was something new going on. From leading a group discussion about boys for the young ladies at our church to being on panel for Afternoon With Authors at Leaves Book and Tea Shop, its been fun, its been real, and its been an enriching time for growth. I can’t wait to share all that’s been happening so let’s get into it!

Treat Yo Self: Pressed Massage Therapy

I am a huge fan of doing things here and there to treat myself. It could be anything from getting a mani pedi, reading while sipping some bomb tea, or one of my favorites, getting a massage! I just found out about this wonderful masseuse in my local city so of course I’m going to brag on her 😊. Welcome to my first experience at Pressed Massage Therapy.

Birthdays, Mardi Gras Balls, and Sky Falls

Oh how much I love a good hiatus! Enjoying these pauses and waiting to blog until I have something to say has truly made life MUCH simpler.
