• My first Journey to Motherhood blog post just went live on the blog! Today, I'm talking about 3 foolproof ways to track ovulation. After two losses I have learned a thing or two about conception, which is why I wanted to share this with moms who might be struggling to conceive or just starting out on their motherhood journey.

  • Y’all...I am completely blown away by the response to these new stickers!! 🌈🍍 We are almost completely sold out of the rainbow pineapple sticker and they’ve only been in the shop for a couple of days! I will be restocking this one if it sells out, but make sure you grab one before they’re gone so you don’t have to wait! These stickers are great for your laptop, phone case, water bottles, cars...you name it! They’re also dishwasher safe and weather resistant! Head to the link in my profile to send one to a mama who needs a little encouragement today or grab one for yourself before they’re gone! #stickermule

  • If you head on over to the website, you might notice some HUGE changes that went live this morning!! My education page looks a LOT different, and you might notice a few other pages that weren't there before... ✨ A few weeks ago, I shared about how I was going to start branching off my normal blog posts and talk more about motherhood and pregnancy loss. Well with this new update, I finally have my Journey to Motherhood page up and running! It's just getting started, so there are definitely more updates to come as I release new content pertaining to motherhood and miscarriage, but for now I am SO thrilled with the update. You might even see some fun new goodies over there (swipe right )🙂 So head on over to my website to check it out! Let me know what you think! The link is in my bio!

  • Today is a bittersweet day. With no Earthly babies to hold and two sweet angels in heaven, our Father’s Day doesn’t look like most, but in my book, it’s a day to still celebrate this amazing guy. So to my dear husband: thank you for your support through this season of life we are in right now. I know we’ve had ups and downs, but I couldn’t imagine doing all of this with anyone else. Thank you for giving me the wonderful gift of motherhood. I know today is a hard day, but I truly believe next year is going to look completely different. You are and amazing person and I know that you are going to be and incredible father. I love you so much. Happy Father’s Day, Zach 💛 📷: @annietimmonsphotography Artwork by @kierra_b_art

  • Does anyone else keep waking up hoping to find some semblance of normalcy in the world, or do you think that everything is (for the most part) starting to go back to normal? North Carolina started its opening phases a few weeks ago, but everything still feels so strange to me. ✨ Zach and I have been taking long evening walks over the last few weeks, and we've talked a lot about life and what that will look like for the next year. Despite everything opening, we don't feel that we'll be able to really venture out into public the same way we used to, and that is a heavy feeling to have. 2020 has certainly been the most interesting and difficult year of my life for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is due to this pandemic. Who could have ever imagined we'd ever have to go through something like this? ✨ Even though things are tough right now, I want you to know you're not alone. It's okay if you still feel like things aren't back to normal, because no matter what some people say, they won't be for quite a while. All you can do is take it one day at a time. Focus on accomplishing just one task a day and then rest if that's what you need. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to feel during this time. You do what's best for YOU, and take whatever time you need to make it through this challenging time. 💛

  • I’ve sat down at my computer to write this post more times that I can count. Every time I do, I just can’t seem to find the words to express what the last two months have been like. How can a blog post possibly express how truly devastating this time has been for us? I cannot believe that a short post will truly do our story justice, but right now, it’s going to have to be enough. 💛 I know the last two months have been difficult for everyone, but during the middle of all of this, we were given a beautiful gift of hope. That precious gift came in the form of a positive pregnancy test. 💛 Despite feeling terrified of having another miscarriage, I felt confident that this was God’s plan for us. We started decorating the nursery, and allowed ourselves to dream about what the fall would look like. The truth is, though, I wasn’t ready for what I had to face at our 8-week appointment... 💛 Today on the blog, I'm sharing our second miscarriage story, and I hope you'll take a moment to read it.

  • I know it's really easy to not want to show up lately. 💛 We're in uncharted territory right now, and I know that it's scary, but you're not alone. Everyone is in this together, and even though it doesn't feel like it right now, we WILL get through this. 💛 So even though you don't feel like showing up...show up anyways. There's always something to do in your business even if there are no sessions to photograph or weddings to edit. Treat this like a slow season and get ahead on blogging or social media posts. Or get to work on that project you've been wanting to start for years now, but never seem to have the time. Show up for your business just like you've been doing all these years, because you've worked way too hard for it all to end during this terrible storm. You can do this, friend...I *know* you can. 💛 Sending lots of love and good vibes to you all today! Message me if you are in need of encouragement. 💕

  • Yesterday officially marked the first day of spring! Ooh I just love this time of year. Daylight sticks around a little longer, making it possible for us to take extra long evening walks; the weather is getting warmer, but it’s not that hot, humid air yet; and all the plants decide to wake up from their winter nap. Even though flowers started blooming a few weeks ago here in North Carolina, the first day of spring is something special. It’s another reminder that fresh starts happen constantly throughout the year…not just at the very beginning! 🌷 If you’ve been struggling to get motivated so far this year, this is your friendly reminder that you are doing just fine! Running a small business alone is no small feat, so give yourself some grace. But, if you’re ready to buckle down and start getting back into the swing of things, then you’re going to love the new post that just hit the blog today! Head to the link in my profile and read all about 7 new habits you should start this spring!
