About Allison

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

"We don't know them all...but we owe them ALL".⁠
⁠
⁠
As you're celebrating Memorial Day today, I encourage you to stop and think about why we even have this holiday.⁠
⁠
It's because of the men and women who have scarified everything for our freedom. ⁠
⁠
Thank you just doesn't seem like enough🇺🇸♥️

I'm planning on this being my view for the next 4 days. ⁠
⁠
One of the perks of owning your own business is being able to say "I'm taking a few days off" at the last minute...this mama needs a break!⁠
⁠
We'll be enjoying time outside, relaxing, eating delicious food and spending time together as a family.⁠
⁠
How are YOU spending your long weekend?

Happy Happy birthday to my amazing brother!!⁠
⁠
He has been my best friend for my entire life and knows more about me that almost anyone....I am so thankful for him each and every day.⁠
⁠
Even though we live in different states now, we still talk almost everyday and I can only hope that my kids grow up to be as close as I am with my brother.⁠
⁠
Happy birthday, buddy!! We love you!

When the heat is on🔥, finding ways to keep cool

When the heat is on🔥, finding ways to keep cool isn’t always easy. We love to opt for cool snacks, but in our house they still have to be at least semi-healthy.⁠
⁠
What you will love about this bark is that it tastes just like the regular bark you would find around the holidays, or on cookie trays, but without the excess sugar. ⁠
⁠
As a matter of fact, it’s honey sweetened, which makes me feel good about giving it to my family. ⁠
⁠
Your kids will love this Strawberry Yogurt Bark this spring and summer...it's a delicious treat! ⁠

I don't know about you, but the entire past few mo

I don't know about you, but the entire past few months have made me think a lot about how prepared we are for an emergency.⁠
⁠
Whether it's a natural disaster or a pandemic...before all of this happened, we had no emergency stockpile (especially of toilet paper 🤣)⁠
⁠
Of course, I don't think you should hoard things, but having a good stockpile of water, etc. in case of an emergency is just smart planning. ⁠
⁠
If you aren't sure what you need to have on hand, make sure you grab my free printable family emergency preparedness checklist!⁠

Want me to tell you the biggest lesson I've learne

Want me to tell you the biggest lesson I've learned in the past 4 years?⁠
⁠
✅To let go of perfection. ⁠
⁠
In the words of Frozen...⁠
⁠
"Let it go....let it gooooooo". ⁠
⁠
You see, last weekend I spent an hour putting out this garden fence to stop our dogs from going under our deck.⁠
⁠
Then....on Tuesday, my 4 year old decided that it would be a great idea to pull it all up and make his own in his words "yard sale" 😂⁠
⁠
At first, my reaction was to be upset and frustrated.⁠
⁠
Then, I realized: he was SO proud of what he had accomplished. He even asked us to take a picture of him with it. ⁠
⁠
"Let it go.....let it gooooooo"⁠
⁠
It's just fence. It can be put back.⁠
⁠
When I became a mom, I struggled with perfection (and honestly, I still do)...I wanted the house to always be clean. The laundry always caught up 😂. Home cooked dinners every night. ⁠
⁠
But, you can't do it all and do it all perfectly all the time. It's not possible and it will drive you I-n-s-a-n-e. In life and in business.⁠
⁠
So, "let it go...let it gooooo". ⁠
⁠
We can (and should) strive to do our best but striving for perfection is setting yourself up to fail!

Soap and water is always best, but what do you do

Soap and water is always best, but what do you do if you can’t get to a sink right away? Most of us will reach for commercial hand sanitizer to help get rid of germs and bacteria. However, that can be so drying to your child’s hands.⁠
⁠
What’s a mom to do to keep her child protected from germs, colds, viruses and more without drying their hands? Make your own, of course! Just a few simple ingredients and you can make your own kid safe sanitizer at home.⁠
⁠
What makes this safe is the lack of drying ingredients such as rubbing alcohol. What makes this effective against germs is the the witch hazel and essential oils that are well known for their anti-bacterial properties.⁠

🌹My roses are in full bloom!! ⁠
⁠
A very special friend gave me this rose bush when my Mamaw passed away...⁠
⁠
I planted it and honestly haven't done much to it over the past few years. My green thumb is non-existent 🤣⁠
⁠
BUT, my Mamaw always had gorgeous roses and I'm so thankful that this bush is flourishing, it makes me smile each time I look at it! ⁠
