Hey hey… didn’t wait so long this time. 💛

Life has been doing what life does moving fast, throwing in a few curveballs, and somehow still lining everything up exactly how it’s supposed to be.

But I’m back… and this time with something really special.


✨ Something New I’m Creating

Over the past several months, before even doing the blog posts about my anxiety, I had been on a pretty intense personal journey with the anxiety.
Learning it. Fighting it. Sitting with it. Growing through it.

And through all of that I knew there had to be something built. The blog was the start but there needed to be a little more…..

👉 So I’ve started creating a digital anxiety guide

Not because I have it all figured out by any means because I don’t.
But because I know what it feels like to be in it… and I know how much it matters to not feel alone.

This guide is built from:
real experiences
real tools that actually helped me
and a whole lot of honesty. The best part is I think it will age well because as I continue in this journey I can expand on the tools, tricks, and all things to help others.

And the truth is…
👉 This is a lifelong commitment.
Not to just be anxious but to not feel like I’m being controlled by fears and worries.  Amen!

So as I continue learning, growing, and finding new things that help…
There will always be room to add and that part is the icing on this cake for me.

🌿 But Life Isn’t Just About the Hard Stuff

As much as I want to share more on that journey now…
I also want to get back to what this blog has always been about:

👉 the fun, the chaos, the growth, and the everyday life moments

Because that’s where the real magic is. ✨

🐐 Our Teeny Girl Is Out Here WINNING

Y’all… I am SO proud.

Our teenie girl placed 1st in her class at the County Fair 🎉👏

Now to be clear she was lightweight with Bitty so her goat didn’t make the sale, which was a little disappointing…
But God! 🙌🏼 Always making a way for us (like He always does).
An incredible local family with a petting zoo stepped in and wanted her animal.
And honestly?
It couldn’t have been a more perfect fit.
These animals here get so much love, and so knowing her goat is going somewhere just like that brought a lot of peace to the situation.                          
We also made the decision to send off our two older goats along with her show goat. They offered and again felt like it was a sign we took them up on.
And I won’t even lie to you…that day tore me up.
It felt like they knew.
They didn’t want to get in the trailer…
and watching that unfold just hit differently.
I know our Teeny girl felt it too.
But at the same time…she’s stepping into a new season and needs the freedom.
And I think she won’t admit it but there’s a part of her that’s also a little relieved to be done with barn duty (and I don’t blame her 😅).

🎓 Senior Year, Summer Plans & Big Girl Moves

She is officially: ✔ signed up for the fall semester of college
✔ preparing for her summer as a camp counselor
✔ picking out hiking shoes
✔ and stepping into everything this next chapter has for her
And watching it all unfold… is just incredible.


💛 A Little Dedication to Her

People sometimes give Preston and I credit for the growth they see in her…
And while I appreciate that…the truth is none of this has been easy.
And more importantly:
She is the one who did the majority of the work.
We have been happy to support her. Listen to her.                                        Be safe and steady foundation.
Just a place to let her grow.

We continue to remind there is no perfection here, in fact we’ve learned more on those hard days, through the messy moments, and the extreme emotional reactions…

But through all of it:
She kept showing up for herself. I hope she knows how worthy she is always.

And that’s what matters.
So way to go girl!! You DID IT! And we are so proud. Keep growing.

If there’s anything I hope you take from this chapter, it’s this:

1. Motivation isn’t easy… but starting is everything

You don’t have to feel ready.
You just have to begin.

2. Kindness matters everywhere

To strangers.
To friends.
To people you’ll never see again.

You never know what someone is going through…

And something as small as kindness can change everything.

✨ A Shift Happening

Lately, I’ve been feeling something different.

👉 A pull to get out more
👉 To explore
👉 To travel
👉 To live more fully

And I’m leaning into that.

🛍️ What’s Coming Next

I’m also expanding into:

affiliate partnerships

product testing

and sharing things I actually use and love

Including:

👉 gluten-free recipes
👉 products that support anxiety + wellness
👉 everyday lifestyle finds

Because one thing I’ve learned…

What we put in and around our bodies matters

For me, I’ve cut:

artificial dyes

gluten (for now)


And it’s made a noticeable difference.


☀️ Summer Is Coming…

Which feels crazy to even say.

But here we are.

So now I want to know…

👉 What are your summer plans?

Trips?
Kids in camps?
Staycations?
Something fun?

Let’s share ideas, I’d love to hear what you’ve got going on 💛

Life is getting really good over here.

Not perfect.
Not easy.
But good.

And I hope you’re here for the ride…

Because there’s a lot more coming 🤍
