Hair Products I Use and Love
I searched for years for a one-size-fits-all solution to getting the best version of my curls and what I realized is that no one product or styling tip works for everyone. You really have to spend time learning YOUR hair and figuring out what it likes (and, understand that it may change over time). Curly hair is so unique and even the best stylists can’t predict what your hair will do in certain conditions. For example, many curly-headed friends hate humidy because it causes major frizz. But, I have never had frizz and my hair LOVES the humidy. My best hair days have been in Florida. So, here are the…

Favorite Breastfeeding Support Products to Try
I listed the companies by Instagram handle below so you can check them all out! Some offer one type of product while others offer several different products, all intended to support milk supply. Please keep in mind that no product is one size fits all. Sometimes, what works for one doesn’t work for another. And, at the end of the day, the best things to do are drink water like crazy, take in enough calories, get rest, and support yourself with oats and a nice pat on the back. BUT some of these companies make really awesome drink mixes, cookies, treats, and other items that help boost your supply and/or…

Eggcellent Easter
We celebrated Roan’s first Easter and Lake’s third in the sunshine- I am thankful for the beautiful weather we had over the weekend because of course, we met Monday morning with snow. Lake’s pants and shirt are both from Janie and Jack. Roan’s outfit is from Marie Nicole.

My Current Favorite Tech Tools for the Classroom
I bet I am not alone in feeling like since Covid, students seem extra quiet and less engaged. I keep trying to think of ways to make lessons more engaging and to spark interest in my classes. I teach English 11 and Yearbook, so I mostly have upperclassmen. Below are some of the tools I am liking lately. They certainly aren’t anything new and you may already use and enjoy some of them- They are simply the tools I have been focusing on incorporating into class lately and spending time learning more about. Canva: I have been using Canva in the classroom for years. I use it to create presentations…

Disney 2022
Lake’s second trip to Disney (at 2.5 years) and Roan’s first trip to Disney (at 7 months) was one to remember. Lake is very in to Toy Story so the Buzz Lightyear ride in Magic Kingdom and Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios were his favorites, along with the Star Wars area at Hollywood Studios and all the “Sausage sandwishes” AKA cheeseburgers. Roan was such a little trooper and was the happiest girl all week. We all loved wathcing them both have fun. I am so thankful for these memories made with our kids, my parents, and my grandparents.

{Rainbow} Roan
Just some adorable pictures of our little girl at 5 months old. Whenever I get pictures of her I always think, “These are my new favorites.” But these really truly are my new favorites! I love her expressions in them and her sparkling eyes. Dress and topknot linked at the bottom of the photo gallery.
