Watching your kids grow into adults is hard. I remember them as little kids, 3 little girls in pigtails and dresses clinging to every word. My son, emulating every move and joke, waking up in the onsie pj's and learning of the days mischief (typically led by his middle sister and constant companion). Telling all … Continue reading Letting Your Kids Grow Up
One of my favorite childhood memories was always having someone to play with. A younger brother, a cousin or kids across the street. Growing up on 51 acres of land with woods, farm, rivers and a pond was amazing. We had big hills to slide or ride down anytime. My brother and I had a … Continue reading Let Your Kids Play in the Mud
I have never been much of a hobbyist, however earlier this year, I got the vinyl bug! My dad and I were talking about vinyl records and music and when I told him my passion he immediately said, can you find a few records for me?" His list ranged from Ultimate Spinach to Black Sabbath. … Continue reading Vinyl Collector Extraordinaire
On April 30th, 2023 at around 3:20 PM CST, my father passed away at the age of 71. It's hard to believe that he's gone. He was there when I took my first breath, and I was there with him when he took his last. My dad was an incredible man who held many names … Continue reading The Toughest and Saddest Day of My Life
We did something this week, we went to Sedona and eloped (full video)! Rachel and I are a lot of things, traditional is not one of them. About 6 weeks ago we said, "hey want to get married?" (she actually said it) and we both responded "yes". So within a short period we planned an … Continue reading We Eloped!
The words on this page will do no justice to the natural beauty we experienced on this adventure. For several months we anticipated this trip. Our lust to wander through Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and knowingly finding sites off the beaten path. We flew into Las Vegas witnessing a spectacular 3 hour … Continue reading Travels in Zion, Bryce and Valley of Fire
I am often asked, “what’s the deal with CBD? Why do you take it? And why did you decide to create a company during a global pandemic?” My personal story is a one with twists, turns, and life coming at me with 100 MPH curveballs. I first learned about the benefits of CBD in 2016 … Continue reading Why I Started Using CBD
Ahhh, the year of COVID-19... the plague that stopped the world (minus these mask-toting globetrotters). We decide to roll the dice, grab tickets, and make our way to a more remote section of the island. Dreams of relaxation, beautiful beaches, and local delicacy danced in our heads on the enchanted Eve of Christmas. We were … Continue reading Adventures in Rincon, Puerto Rico
Being southern is pretty awesome, but being southern on Thanksgiving is a slice of heaven! After a few rounds with the turkey, dressing, broccoli casserole and too many sides to list (and an early a.m. 10k for me and 13.1 for Rachel) we headed to Charleston for some desired down time! Driving on Thanksgiving night … Continue reading Ole South Thanksgiving in Charleston
This was the text I will never forget receiving; My oldest daughters are officially college bound, to the University of Georgia! I am proud of their hard work but mostly proud to see them grow into responsible adults. They made the decision all on their own. UGA was their only choice, no back-up, that was … Continue reading The Twins are Off to College!
