Thatcher Turns One

thatcher-turns-one

Well, it’s been almost THREE whole months since I’ve been away from Instagram, so I figured I’d give a little update about life since our little man, Thatcher, also just turned one. I can’t believe what a quick year it was. He was born as soon as lockdown started here in South Carolina last year. Kevin and Hazel happened to have a tiny cough from allergies, but Covid was so unknown at that point, so he had to wear a mask even at our homebirth ha! And now, here we are a year later, with this…

why-im-leaving-instagram-as-an-influencer

If you don’t feel like reading all the reasoning behind me leaving the platform, here’s the long short. I’m taking a long break from Instagram/the business I’ve created over the past 5, almost 6 years, because I’ve felt called to. Simple as that. I know that may seem silly to so many of you, but I’ve literally been called away from it to put more effort into our family without so many distractions. And at the end of the day, Instagram is a distraction, and not something I’m willing to sacrifice my…

glow-body-post-pregnancy-plan-review

If you’ve been following along, you know that I’ve been working hard over the past 3 months doing the Glow Body Post  Pregnancy Plan. It’s been such a great plan, and I’m so thankful to have found Ashley (the owner of Glow Body PT) on Instagram. I actually found out about her via my favorite homebirth podcast (Happy Homebirth Podcast), and I KNEW I had to check her out, because her plan specifically helps to close your diastasis recti. Now, if you’ve never been pregnant or are one of the few lucky ones who this…

home-birth

Winnie was born in her bag of waters. It’s been such a weird time with the ever looming Coronavirus surrounding us for the past month. So many pregnant women in fear for their lives and their baby’s lives. And rightfully so! I wouldn’t want to go into a hospital right now worrying about putting my whole family’s health at risk. At the beginning of this pregnancy, I was with a regular OBGYN that delivers at one of our hospitals, because I had no clue what to do since our birth center had just closed down last…

Living In Zella

zella-activewear-line

My whole life, I feel like I’ve lived in activewear. I’ve always loved to run. I’ve always been playing a sport or involved in something to keep me active. After I graduated college, I started pursuing a career as a personal trainer, which turned into being a barre and yoga instructor. So, for the better part of the last decade, I’ve worn activewear 90% of the time. And once I found Zella activewear line at Nordstrom, I knew I found a staple brand for my closet.I only tell you this to show you I have…
