I’m a fantastic athlete. I’m a great mom. I’m good at trying new things & doing a really good job at slaying them. I love to be afraid of doing something new, feel the fear & then do it anyway. I’m a hard worker. I’m strong. And I’m really smart. I’m not going to lie to you & say I don’t have insecurities or I don’t have anxiety ridden moments that I’m flunking at life. Trust me, I do. But, for the longest time, I would never make bold statements out loud about myself like I did ... Read More about You Deserve To Believe You’re Freaking Amazing

Triple Falls aka Twin Falls in Jasper, AR is the simplest, yet most fun trail you can go to- it's a whopping .03 miles. Park in the designated spots & then head to the falls.

Gilbert Railroad Trail, A Review
Gilbert is a very small, Arkansas town with a population of 33 people.

A Day In The Life Of Me
6:20 AM: My alarm goes off. I probably hit snooze at least once, if not twice. I like for my feet to hit the floor by 6:40-50 because it makes it all easier for the entire family if I'm the first one up. Our mornings go smoother for getting the kids to school when I'm not dragging! Breakfast 1: I grab a banana or a protein bar & chug a huge glass of water (usually 20 oz) before I take the kids to school. And I brush my teeth! Breakfast 2: Here's where I'm going to start to sound like a ... Read More about A Day In The Life Of Me
