What’s in My Bag

Spread the love

 

whats-in-my-bagHappy Friday! We’ve had a busy month and ended up traveling for three weeks with our boys.  We had such a blast but are thrilled to be home.  I recently got a new bag from Fawn Design that I’m obsessed with and I’m able to keep all my goodies with me at all times! I thought I’d share a few essentials that I keep in my bag for everyday life!

“I have been compensated by ZonePerfect for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.”

whats-in-my-bag-numbered

  1. This Fawn Design bag is so great and perfect for this season of my life.  It’s can be worn as a shoulder tote or a backpack! Plus, it has individual pockets inside so it can double as a diaper bag. Seriously, it’s the best!
  2. ZonePerfect bars because I’m always hungry and need something close to snack on!  I grabbed these at Walmart and they’re perfect for keeping in my bag on the go for a quick bite of protein!
  3. My Sudio Earbuds are always close.  If I need to tune out or if I get a minute to myself, having these handy are a must!
  4. I love keeping a notepad and pen on me.  I often think of things I need to add to my to-do list or ideas for my blog while I’m out and about.  I’ve found that I much prefer to write these down instead of putting them in my notes on my cell.  Plus, it’s much faster.
  5. I always have a few of my Young Living essential oils on me.  These are just a few favorites I like to keep close.  I love Thieves if I feel like I’m ever coming down with something or if I need a breath refresher.  Peppermint is my go-to for headaches! My Stress Away roll-on is my favorite and I wear it for obvious reasons, but I also love to roll it on as perfume.  A new fav is Lime because it’s fabulous in water!  I find that I drink a lot more water when I’ve got a few drops of lime in it.
  6.  Thieves waterless hand purifier because hello….school is back in session, that time of year is upon us, I’m preggers, and I have kiddos. The end! This one is a lifesaver and chemical free!
  7.  My cell…aka my lifeline.  Is it just me or do y’all not have any numbers memorized either? #milennialprobs
  8.  I always have at least one lipstick or gloss in a pocket of my bag.  These are two that I’m loving now that fall in here.  (Revlon Colorburst in Honey Douce 001 and Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in the color 08.)

Now that Harper has started back to Mother’s Day Out, our schedule has gotten a bit busier.  Every morning I grab my bag and make sure I’ve got all of my essentials for the day.  Another thing that’s always in tow is my Yeti tumbler because again, I’ve always got snacks with me and staying hydrated is so important.  I stock up on several different flavors of the ZonePerfect bars and just switch them out for some variety. These are my go-to items.  What do you keep in your bag?

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.
Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ve really been living the “for better or worse” and “through sickness and health” bit of our vows the past month.

We got back from Montana and a couple of weeks later I got pretty sick from Covid. He stepped up and was Mr Mom taking care of the boys, me, and everything in between. 

Then the next week he was in an accident.  A guy ran a red light and plowed into him. We gained a little perspective that day. We’re so grateful that God protected him and he came home to us that day. He’s had some issues due to the wreck and we’re praying for answers, direction, and healing. Prayer warrior friends, would y’all mind joining us?

One thing we’ve been reminded of through all of this is that we aren’t promised tomorrow. Be sure to tell your people that you love them and show that. Be intentional about memory making and spending time with the ones that matter. We’ve got to make the most of your days.
We’ve realized a few things during this incredib We’ve realized a few things during this incredible trip to Montana. 🏔

1️⃣ - Slowing down and soaking in the outdoors
is so good for the soul. 
2️⃣ - Not having cell service isn’t the worst thing in the
world. It’s actually kind of a blessing. 
3️⃣ - We want to travel A LOT more.
4️⃣ - We can handle freezing temps a lot better
than we thought. 🤣🥶

We aren’t promised tomorrow, so we should make the most out of every single day. Book the trip. Travel somewhere that takes your breath away. Make the memories. You’ll never regret it. 

Montana has been done that for us. We’ve continued to be blown away with its beauty. There’s adventure and peace at every turn. We’re leaving tomorrow with memories that will last a lifetime, many “firsts” with our sweet boys, and a itch to get back as soon as possible! 

I have tons of pictures and videos from the past week. I can’t wait to share more with y’all once I’m home and have more time. I’ll also be putting together a blog post with all the details, so stay tuned. 

Thank you, @yellowstonecountry, for this unforgettable trip! We’re so sad to leave Montana, but we will absolutely be back!
That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Mont That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Montana! 😍 🏔 

I’m kidding. Maybe. Really though, once you’ve been consumed with this level of beauty around every corner, it’s hard to go back to anything else. 

We drove over to West Yellowstone and had the time of our lives today on our snow coach tour. We got to see two states in one day…Montana and Wyoming! There were Buffalo up close and personal, wolves, eagles, and Old Faithful! I can’t wait to show you everything! 

I had zero phone service all day. It was peaceful and glorious. I took a million videos and photos that I can’t wait to share with y’all. Going to recharge and put some amazing videos together for y’all. This has been the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for that, @yellowstonecountry! Montana has my heart! 🤍
