I share the beautiful side of motherhood, but also speak life into the struggles. You'll also see a little fashion, home decor, faith, and food. There may be a little comedic relief sprinkled in, too. My hope is to inspire, encourage, and bring a smile to your face. Read More…

Celebrated 15 years of marriage and 21 years of be

Celebrated 15 years of marriage and 21 years of being together with this sweet man of mine. ♥️

We’re at the point where we’ve been together longer than we were ever apart. I can’t imagine life without him. It’s all I ever dreamed it would be when I was a little girl. A handsome, loving husband by my side through thick and thin as we raise our babies…it’s something I’ll never take for granted.

If I could give any marriage advice on how we’ve made it this far, it’d be these few things.

• Keep each other first but Christ #1
• Don’t stop dating (especially after kids)
• Communication is HUGE
• Learn each other’s love languages

Here’s to 60 more, baby! 🥂 Love you BIG, @danielwlangston! ♥️

📍If you’re a local to the Franklin/Nashville area, put something special up on @franklintheatre marquee next time an occasion rolls around. This was such a fun addition to our anniversary.

Let me just say… God is good! He is faithful and

Let me just say…
God is good! He is faithful and he answers prayers! 🙌🏼

Y’all it’s been a long 4-5 days, BUT I finally have a praise to share with y’all about my sweet Daddy. Last week he had good and bad days, but today is the best one yet. After 13 days of being on the C0¥ID floor at the hospital with pneumonia, he was able to see my Mom. We were able to hug him and briefly talk to him in person!

They were able to lower his oxygen enough so that he could move to a specialty hospital. My Mom can start seeing him every single day starting next week. PTL! He now has the most caring doctors and nurses taking care of him and helping him on his road to recovery.

We gathered with my parents’ close friends last night and prayed together over Dad. Pleaded to the Lord that he’d work a miracle in his lungs and that he would heal him. And guess what? Today happened.

Dad has told us that he knows this is just another part of his testimony that God is building. Despite his circumstances, he’s praising the Lord in the storm and believing that he’s going to be healed. Even in his weakest moments, he’s teaching me. I want that kind of faith.

My God is a miracle worker. He’s bigger than our circumstances and if we will lean on Him, he’ll give us the strength to get through hard times. I can’t wait to see what the Lord does in my Dad’s life because I know he’s not done yet!

Those of y’all who’ve been coming alongside our family and praying, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️

We’ve all been feeling the heaviness of late, bu

We’ve all been feeling the heaviness of late, but yesterday’s devastation hit home. 💔

May we never take for granted the freedom we still have because these heroes continue to stand boldly and sacrifice daily. Their level of selfishness doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you will never be enough.

We can help by praying! ⬇️

✨James 5:16 - “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

-Lord, we ask that you overwhelm these families with your presence. As they’re slowly settling into this new reality, draw near and be their refuge.

✨Psalm 34:18 - “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who’s spirits are crushed.”

-We also ask that you go ahead of the our military men and women that are still fighting. Put a hedge of protection around them. Give me them peace, along with their loved ones that they leave behind. Guide and direct their steps and bring them back home so they can place their feet on American soil again.

Not only are we completely broken over our fellow Americans, we’re watching the horror happening in Afghanistan as these families are running for their lives and believers are being put to death. The devastation from the earthquake in Haiti is also still fresh on our minds as they mourn and rebuild. Matthew 24 warns us of these wars, the natural disasters, and the persecution that we are seeing now. It’s almost unbearable to see it all unfold, but it’s a reminder to me that this is not our home. Nothing here on earth will give us peace like Jesus.

✨Jeremiah 17:17 - “Lord, you alone are my hope in the day of disaster.”

As a Christ follower, he calls me to be a light. I can’t stay silent as I watch the world unravel around us. If you don’t know Jesus, my prayer is that he will tug on your heart and open your eyes to his love, his power, and his redemption. There’s no peace, no joy, & no love greater than what we can have in HIM, friend! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead can be alive in you and transform your life. He’s the reason I have hope in a world that is fleeting. Life is a vapor, but there’s more to this life & it can be found in HIM!

Celebrated 15 years of marriage and 21 years of being together with this sweet man of mine. ♥️

We’re at the point where we’ve been together longer than we were ever apart. I can’t imagine life without him. It’s all I ever dreamed it would be when I was a little girl. A handsome, loving husband by my side through thick and thin as we raise our babies…it’s something I’ll never take for granted.

Anyone else ready for Fall?! Give me all the layers, booties, and holidays! This Mama is ready to start decorating and for cooler weather. 🍂🍃🍁

I got to do a little shopping in @vinnielouise’s warehouse before we left for the beach. OMG! Y’all, they’ve got the CUTEST pieces for Fall! I can’t wait to see it all hit the stores. I snatched this little dress up so fast! It’s in stock but likely won’t be for long. Linking it up in stories for y’all! 🧡

All these boys have talked about since 2020 was getting back to the beach. We finally got back down to 30A! I love snapping the same picture which has now become a little tradition. Swipe to see the second photo from two summers ago. They’ve gotten so big. 😭

What are your favorite summer traditions?

Can y’all believe it’s August?! ☀️ I’m not sure where the summer went, but I spent majority of it in cut off shorts, dresses, and kimonos.

One of my favorite local boutiques here in Franklin is @heyleeb! Today I’m super excited to be joining her to give one of you ladies a $100 gift card to the store. This is for all of you friends-local and far. All of her adorable pieces can be shopped online or in the store.

Head over to my stories to get the details! 🙌🏼🛍
