Recently, I've stumbled into the world of minimalism. I've researched, read blog after blog, and I'm so drawn to the idea of "getting rid of the unnecessary to focus on the important.". I've come to learn that it's deeper than the "less is more" mentality. It started with my closet, which was once overflowing but now holds 5 shirts, 5 dresses, and a few sweaters. Brandon and I have spent the last few nights purging our bedroom. The place the mismatched furniture calls home.). Emmerson's getting her first...

I'm THAT dog mom. Bailee and Olive with our tiny 5 week baby.9 weeks ago! Being almost 4 months preggo has my mind thinking things I've never thought about before. For 5 years, I've been a "puppy mom" to my girls, Bailee and Olive. B and I will be talking, and I just have to burst out laughing at how we compare our dogs to kids. I know, I know. I know you can't leave a baby in the kennel. For more than an hour. I hope baby learns to be independent, but snuggly like Olive. Everything baby (sorry to my Pin...

There are many new hurdles I've had to jump since giving birth to Emmerson. This whole mom role is no joke. Sure, I sleep a little less and weigh a little more,. But the biggest struggle has been finding my identity as a mother. I was determined to be the cookie cutter, perfect mom. Spoiler alert: I'm not. No one is.). Husband and I went to two different baby/birthing classes. I spent hours reading books and conducting my own research on raising babies. Do this, this, and this, and bam! I was a big mess.

Baby crews (our story). We never want to take for granted the things God has given us. Until we have seemingly everything, but that one thing. Brandon and I have been fairly quiet about our struggle. Out of respect for others and mostly because of being at a loss for words. We know we aren’t alone and this journey has made our marriage and testimonies even stronger. We spent years watching women becoming mothers and men becoming fathers. I spent years crying every month when another test failed. I've bee...

Dreaming of baby girl. She has a gender. She has a name. She has a face that husband already claims has my nose. She has us wrapped and we haven't even "met" her yet. I can't stop remembering seeing her at the ultrasound yesterday. 30 minutes of uninterrupted Emmerson movie-time. I prayed for clear boy/girl parts and baby girl was in the perfect position. Little behind sticking straight up.). Cute for now, but we'll work on lady like positions when she's here. Pinterest is no longer a safe place for me.

Dear hash browns,. You are officially my first pregnancy driven craving. Congrats! Now Husband, keep 'em coming. Dear Dancing with the Stars,. I have never watched you, but I started last night because of my love for Duck Dynasty's sweet Sadie Robertson (and Carlton.). But, is it a written rule that dancers/celebrities are supposed to be SO mushy gushy touchy feely? Do those people get extra points? Dear Bailee girl,. You have no idea how much my heart hurt driving away from the vet without you! I'm gonn...

http://www.boylovesgirlblog.com/2015/05/challenges-of-living-simply.html
Challenges of living simply. I'm over a month into my journey on minimalism. While I wish I could say I finished the house in one weekend,. That's proving to be impossible with a 4 month old. She's a demanding one. But oh so cute.). With the help of Daddy-Daughter dates,. I've been able to tackle small portions at a time. Along the way, as with every new adventure, there have been some challenges. First (and most prominent). I'm married to an "organized hoarder.". But it's hard for him to let things go.

Being a lover of lists, it only makes sense to welcome summer with a bucket list. Yes, it's still Spring, but I'm boycotting this season for making me so sick.). Can't wait to get this summer started and start checking things off! What's on your summer to-do list? Dear Spring in Tennessee,. When I said I loved you, I lied. That was pre-allergy attack. Now, as I've been sneezing enough to break my back, I kind of hate you. The flowers and warmer weather are nice, but you're dead to me. Um, you're awesome.
