This post is sponsored by Visit Hot Springs in Arkansas. All opinions are 100% my own. We were so excited to head to a state we have never explored! I have drove through it but that was about it! Our family loves to travel, but only destinations that are close.. we have 3 children and traveling far distances in a car isn't ideal. Am I right? We decided to take the kids to Nashville but did not want to drive the full 12 hours. We talked about going to another city first to break up that ...
How to throw a cat birthday party!
I had already received her kitty cat party goods because I planned her party way in advance! We talked about a kitty theme and stuck with it! Leighton turned 3 back in May and during that time we decided not to have her birthday party because of Covid. She had a drive by parade and the Unicorn snow cone truck came to her house! It was perfect! I had every intention on still hosting a smaller birthday party with a few of her toddler friends and so thankful it was able to ...

I really wanted to have our guest bathroom white so I thought I would take on this task and do it myself. I was searched hashtags on Instagram and found an account that painted her bathroom ...

Girls joint room makeover!
When we decided we wanted to do foster care we knew we needed to create a space for that precious child! We knew he needed his own space so we decided to move Leighton out of her room and in with Ainsley. At this time Ainsley had already been sharing a room with Oakland because she wanted to sleep on his top bunk. The time to move L was perfect! We moved her out and had to clean out a bunch of her belongings and clothes because they weren't all going to fit in Ainsley's room. Ainsley ...
