A Full Weekend

July 14, 2014 | family, holidays, pregnancy

Good morning! What a whirlwind of a weekend! We packed at our old house Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning, drove to my parents house in Louisiana Friday, had my baby shower Saturday, and my birthday Sunday! It was an exhausting but wonderful weekend with great food, friends, and fun! I go back home tomorrow, and will be doing a full baby shower recap this week, but for today just thought I would give you a peek at the fun! The hostesses did an amazing job, and Karen handmade so many amazing decorations and is so talented!

The same lady who made my cake for the gender reveal party made my shower cake. It was beautiful and tasted so delicious. It had almond in it, so it tasted like a wedding cake.

I have plenty more to show you and share, so stay tuned! The shower was so much fun and I had a great relaxing birthday yesterday as well.

QOTD: Are you crafty? Have you ever made party decorations?

    I’m itching for someone close to me to get engaged, married, or have a baby so I can plan a shower. I adore that kind of stuff, and I’m rather partial to the hidden Mickey’s.

    You are glowing! 🙂

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
