This year for 4th of July, we spent the day at the county fair. We woke up bright and early to try and make it there before it became too crowded and too hot. The last time we were here, I was pregnant with Nicky. How fast time flies.
Featured Item:
There are two things I love about the fair; fried food and seeing the psychic. This year not only did I pick up some fried artichokes, but I found a stand that made lobster corndogs. Yes…..lobster corndogs. I will eat anything with seafood and this intrigued me. Can’t say I will ever order it again, but it wasn’t too bad.
When ever we go to a festival or fair, I always try to find the psychic booth to have my palms read. I like to compare between different psychics and see if they are similar. This is something I began doing when I was pregnant with my 8 year old and it has become a tradition ever since. Some of the readings I have received over the years have been spot on. Although I do it for fun, I find it pretty interesting that what they end up saying it pretty accurate.


After walking around the booths and letting the kids go to the petting zoo, we made our way over to the carnival rides. It melts my heart to see the smiles on our childrens faces. Will, my 4 year old, climbed up three flights of stairs to do the crazy slide all by himself. I could not stop laughing! The last time I brought them, I had the older 3 take pictures while riding the pony ride. This time, I had Nicky get his picture taken on the horse to add to my collection. It truly was the sweetest thing. Although it was hot and it started to become packed with people, I live for moments like this. Watching your children experience these things and having fun is what life is all about. I am so lucky to have four adorable and amazing children even if they drive me up a wall most days of the week. Wink wink.


I have listed all of the details to my look below. The dress is under $100 and as well as the boots! These sunglasses are my new favorite! They are also on serious sale! The white may be sold out, but it comes in a pretty tortoise shell color as well. I honestly love every part of this look and can mix and match many of these pieces to create new and fun outfits. And how about this tote?!?! Reese Witherspoon has a new line called Draper James and I can see myself wearing every article of clothing in that store! It has a very southern belle vibe and I’m totally cool with that! This tote is super spacious and can definitely fit everything a mom of 4 needs.

Dress | English Factory
Jacket | Current Elliott

Wishing my room actually looked like this right now. It’s currently filled will piles of laundry waiting to be folded after our trip....
Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣...
I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.
I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all. You can also make in batches and reheat for later! You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!
•preheat oven 400 (this will bake for 15-20 min)
•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes
•leftover Holiday ham for the win
•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)
•Dijon mustard
•egg brushes on the top
Make sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat...
