    Can’t say that my job has sent me to fun places. I got to go to Charleston last summer, which involved riding in the back of a van with 6 other people for 2 hours and back, eating a crappy lunch, and being in meetings all day. Now, if my job sent me on a cruise, or to a fun conference, I would be all up for that :).

    I haven’t heard of the Disney Fantasy (I went on the Carnival Fantasy, which I’m pretty sure is polar opposite, haha, but BLEH), but another Disney ship was in port when we were there and it was truly a beautiful ship.

    how exciting!!!! I’m so jealous! We stayed at the Beach club last year and it was awesome. Once my kids are a little older, we will definitely be aboard a disney cruise. Have a great time! 🙂

    I have never gone anywhere great for a work conference. In fact, right now they are so stingy that it’s all out of pocket for employees to get any continuing education. Boo to a bad economy!

    Looks like fun! I’ve heard great things about Disney cruises. When my kids are a little older I’d definitely want to take one.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?

(#Ad) Back-to-school season is no joke — between (#Ad) Back-to-school season is no joke — between practices, homework, and trying to figure out dinner every night, I’ll take any shortcut I can get. 🙌🏼 

One of my favorite time (and money) savers? Grabbing a gift card at Kroger for one of our favorite spots (Zaxby’s for us!) and clipping the digital coupon for 4X fuel points. 

That means dinner is DONE and I’m saving at the pump. Total win-win! 👏🏼 These gift cards are also perfect for teacher gifts, last-minute summer outings, or a first-day celebration meal. Smart moms know — gift cards give back 💡 

🛒 Head to your local @krogerco to snag yours and clip your 4X fuel points coupon before 8/12! 👉

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷
