Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to read a little bit about me. I am a wife and momma first and foremost. Writing has always been a passion of mine, but a few years ago I took a leap, left my corporate job and became a full-time blogger and virtual assistant. I hope you enjoy my little corner of the internet! About Me

Spring has officially sprung in East TN!

Spring has officially sprung in East TN!

These sweet babies had a picnic at the farm this weekend... and it was just what we all needed ♥️ life may be a little uncertain right now and honestly- scary at times, but I’m so thankful for precious moments that we are able to enjoy in slowing down and getting “back to the basics”.

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

A taste of spring today helped to lift all of our spirits... it’s amazing what sunshine can do for the soul!

Things look different around here....⁠ ⁠ Even

Things look different around here....⁠
⁠
Even though we homeschooled before and we both worked from home before.... life still looks different. ⁠
⁠
My gel nails look horrible. 😂⁠
⁠
We're all in our PJ's more than normal. ⁠
⁠
We've been a bit frazzled.⁠
⁠
We've been super thankful. ⁠
⁠
We've been a little anxious. ⁠
⁠
We're streaming church services on our computer from the kitchen table...and I will admit, when we sat down together to watch Sunday's service, I got a little teary. I think it just hit me: life has changed for all of us in the past 3 weeks. ⁠
⁠
Things we took for granted are no longer there, or we can no longer access them...at least for now.⁠
⁠
Our healthcare workers, truck drivers, grocery store workers...they're fighting a war. ⁠
⁠
And we can't even attend church in person. ⁠
⁠
I know there are worse things going on, but that really hit me hard just how much life has changed. ⁠
⁠
Then, this sweet girl was eating a snack while we were watching church and she bowed her head while Dr. Light was praying...and I realized: if we stop focusing on all of the bad going on, we can find precious joy in the little moments that we otherwise might not have. ⁠
⁠
I hope you are doing ok through all of this...and if you're struggling, I want you to know: I'm here for you. If you need to talk or get mad or scream or cry....please message me. I'm here. ⁠

As a Christian...a mom...a small business owner...

As a Christian...a mom...a small business owner...⁠
⁠
My heart beaks right now.⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the congregations that aren't able to gather for fear of a virus spreading to their most vulnerable members.⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the parents trying to juggle working, the worry of paying the bills and also trying to navigate teaching their children at home.⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the small business owners who have worked their entire lives to carve out their place in the world, only to have it taken away seemingly overnight.⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for those that are simply saying this is a crazy conspiracy or "not really that scary" because they aren't in a high risk group. ⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the healthcare workers, the grocery store staff, the truck drivers...and everyone else who is helping our country when most of us are hunkering down in our homes. ⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the nursing home patients who haven't seen their family in weeks and don't understand what is happening.⁠
⁠
My heart breaks for the NICU parents who are now facing this very real scenario on top of having a baby in the NICU. ⁠
⁠
My heart breaks that we are seeing people fighting over toilet paper, people who don't even have children hoarding baby wipes, people being rude because they are stressed. ⁠
⁠
My heart breaks.⁠
⁠
I know that things will get better, I know we will make it through this and I am so thankful for that hope that I know Who is in control.⁠
⁠
I am also encouraged...I am encouraged by those that are pulling together, helping their neighbors, putting political differences and agendas aside and asking someone simply 'what can I do?'...⁠
⁠
I choose to see the good in this situation. I choose to look for the helpers and thank them. ⁠
⁠
I hope you choose to see the good in this as well, I hope you choose to be a helper instead of a hoarder...I hope that you choose to be kinder than necessary.⁠
⁠
Sure, vaccines and stimulus packages are helpful, but the thing that will really pull us through this is those who choose to help. Those who choose joy.⁠
⁠

I shared this quote recently, but I think it's so applicable this week with everything going on in the world. ⁠
⁠
Yes, we're facing very scary times.⁠
Yes, things will likely be changed for awhile..maybe even forever.⁠
Yes, we will all face potential new realities. ⁠
⁠
But you know what? Success is not what you have...but who you are.⁠
⁠
⁠
I've seen post after post and e-mail after e-mail today about everything going on and one thing has really struck a note with me: people are starting to step up. They're offering help. They're asking HOW they can help. These are probably people who themselves are worried about how this will impact their lives...yet, they're reaching out to help others.⁠
⁠
Success is not what you have but who you are...especially in difficult times. ⁠
⁠
That being said, I want to offer help to anyone who is impacted by everything going on. ⁠
⁠
Whether you need resources for working from home or you need someone to help you pay for lunch for your kids now that they're home..I want to offer my help. Simply DM or email me and we'll chat. ⁠
⁠
I encourage you to reach out to your neighbors, text the elderly people in your life...ask how they are and just keep open lines of communication. We will all get through this, but it will be so much more bearable if we are kind to each other and willing to lend a helping hand (make sure you wash those helping hands though!)

This kid...he’s all about power tools and working on things...I honestly think he loved this more than any toy we could’ve bought him 😂🤷🏻‍♀️♥️

My precious little hard worker 😍We are knee deep in home renovations and updates - and even though it can be stressful making all of the decisions, this little guy is right there in the middle of it loving every minute. ⁠
Yesterday, we cut down the bushes beside of the house to prep for painting 😱⁠
Next project after painting: new countertops (and I'm honestly so excited about that one!).⁠
⁠
What home projects are you working on?
