Whole 30- New You
So today I started the Whole 30. For 30 days I will eat more whole foods without all the extra preservatives or additives, or things that are made such as breads and cookies. Why I am doing this? And is this another fad diet? Lifestyle changes, really this is eating healthy. I’m doing this because I have PCOS. My body has crazy hormones and why ingest things that add to that? Why add to the side effects? I must admit, this was not my idea. I wish there was a pill out there I could take and poof it all be gone. One of my coworkers is doing the challenge…

Boss Mom- My Theme Song
Boss mom Came home from my work trip to sticky floors, dirty dishes in the sink, and warm hearts. The house may have been a wreck, my husband (so happy for me to be home) had a sight of relief, but for the first time, I had a great welcoming with open arms and tiny feet around me. My oldest came outside to great me, helped carry my bags, and as soon as I came inside, gave me the biggest hug. It was such a warm and joyful feeling! While I was away on my trip, I tried to FaceTime as much as I could. During our phone conversation, my…

Boss Mom- The Hard Stuff
So I just finished up a great week at my conference! It was so enjoyable! Such an eye opener. I was so glad to be able to come and grow, network, and find ways to make myself better. The secret you ask? If you want to be better you have to want to be better. You have to think that way. Changing your mindset doesn’t happen over night, but staying consistent and having those reminders helps. “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.” Proverbs 3:13 You are who you hang around. If you want to be healthy and workout, find a friend with those…

Boss Mom
Boss Mom Yes, that’s me. I am both; a boss of a multimillion dollar practice, and a mom of two beautiful girls. If you had asked me in college if this would be my goal in life, to be a boss, the answer would be no. To be a mom? Yes, just not in this way. Being both a boss and a mom, you have to know how to turn it off and on. You can’t treat your co-workers like a mom, and you can’t treat your family like a boss. Sometimes, the two tend to cross over. It is hard being both, but I am learning. I was…

National Adoption Day
November 17th. Happy National Adoption Day. Also happy birthday to me. Funny thing. The day we got custody of the girls was on this day. My 30th Birthday. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Proverbs 31:8 My birthdays have had milestones, but also “Big events” have happened on this day. Funny, growing up my friend Megan always had bad luck on her birthday which was just a few days close to mine. She almost burnt her whole yard on fire. Literally, there were fire trucks there spraying the back yard of the woods when I was pulling up the driveway for her 16th birthday! I think her…

Telling the Family
Of all places we were at a funeral. My Papaw was so excited he kept asking if I had told anyone the good news about the adoption going through. My great-aunt’s beloved had just passed. It was a sad time because we all missed him, however we celebrated his life. So many stories filled the dinner table. There was so much joy and laughter. The waitress felt it was odd how we expressed our mourning. I felt a little odd to mention something so joyous and complete, curing a time of mourning and sorrow. I finally announced that our adoption went through. My great-aunt’s heart and face lit up with…

Gotcha Day
“Love puts the fun in together, hope in tomorrow, and joy in my heart.” Each adoption story is unique in it’s own way. Ours is my favorite. Finally after a long process, we finally made it. It has been a bitter sweet time. Each adoption story is unique in it’s own way. Ours is my favorite. It is amazing how God can take something so chaotic, and make it into something so wonderful! My husband and I have really had to keep our faith in God during the whole process. If it weren’t for him, and us listening and being patient for his will, this would have never happened. This…
