39 Years Young

I am thrilled to be celebrating my 39th birthday! It’s been quite a journey so far, with its ups and downs, but I’m grateful for the experiences that have shaped me.

In the Bible, there is a verse in Psalm 144 that states, “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.“. Sometimes I truly do feel the impact of that reality; I start my day on a jolt and before I know it, bedtime is knocking at my door 🤦🏾‍♀️.

For birthdays, however, I try to savor all the details that make the experience truly special. As I approach the end of my 30s, I’m taking the time to appreciate the meaningful moments in my life.🥳

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.

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.

Spring A Ling

Since it’s been a while from my last post, I figured I would do a catch up post in between. There has been a lot going on and it’s not even summer yet 😭 We’ve had everything from school events for Buzzy Bee to dinner dates to fun new experiences for both the littles. Let’s get to 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. For the last half of the month of January it’s been busy, busy, busy. I feel like I’m in my 20s 😅 Haha, jk, but 2023 sure has spun into a different gear. Let’s get into it 😊

2022 Las Vegas 10 Year Anniversary Trip

We had decided last year that for our 10 Year Anniversary we wanted to do Vegas. Vegas initially gets a bad rap from many due to its gambling and provocative scene nature BUT there’s actually tons of good clean fun to do if you’re more so looking for an “other” category of fun to enjoy.
