Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!

I am currently in a losing battle with my car trying to find something inside it that smells absolutely foul. Does this happen to you to?! The kids bring in food of some sort and then you add in 100 degree temps with 150% humidity and now my car smells like a garbage can. I have looked everywhere and cannot find the culprit! It’s making me crazy (:

I am doing my first Spartan race next month and have done zero training with the exception of lifting and doing the cardio workouts at my gym. I did my first rope climbs the other day and was super proud of making it up and down about 10 times. I NEVER in a million years would have been able to do this 6 years ago. For many years I thought that JUST cardio was the way to workout and since lifting heavy for the past 2 years I am now realizing that I was selling myself a lie. I have never felt stronger or more fit than I do right now and as I approach 40 I am feeling pretty damn proud of myself. Let this be your sign to put your mind to a new goal. You are never too old (or too busy) to take time for yourself and better yourself. It may look like lifting heavy ass weights or it may look like meditating and yoga for an hour a day - whatever works for your lifestyle and personality.

🌻If you are looking to style yourself or your family for upcoming photos - I am opening up my family styling again in anticipation for fall! Just message me below if you are interested!

I think this bathroom may be my favorite room in the whole house, is that weird? Maybe it’s just a sign that I need to wallpaper my whole house? I don’t know but being in there makes me happy.
