Riggins' First Birthday!

How is my baby already one?

Riggins goes by Riggs and bubba. A lot of the time he responds to bubba better than Riggs or Riggins. He is such a mellow boy. Jabbers non-stop. Favorite and only thing he says is MAMA. Not to mention that he is an absolute mamas boy. Is a speed crawler on his knees and toes. He stands up on everything. Has seven teeth that make up the sweetest smile. He loves balls and anything with wheels. He looks very much like his dad and has the best cheeks to munch on! Riggs eats like a champ and loves all food, but blueberries and eggs are his favorite! This boy always wants to be with his big sister and follows her everywhere. Outside is his favorite place to be. He tries to eat rocks daily and don't even get me started on the dirt. One of my favorite things that Riggs does is burrow's his head into the ground, pillows or into Tyson and me. It is seriously the cutest thing ever! From birth Riggins had some intense face stork bites and bruises. It's been a year now and he looks a lot better.

Riggs birthday was a hot mess. He cried opening all of his presents and getting his cake. His cake smash was just as bad and he hated it! Don't let pictures fool you! He just wasn't in the birthday mood! However, he did love the balloons.

(He is even cute when he cries!)

I love a good hack. I mean, who doesn't? Whether it be for laundry, cooking, school, websites, you name it, I am all for it!

So here are my TOP 10 favorite hacks:

1. Trouble Falling Asleep? Try the 4-7-8 technique. 4 second in-hale, 7 second hold, 8 second exhale, and REPEAT.

You guys!!! This seriously works for me. When all else has failed, like my usual herbal tea and Magnesium supplement, I will do this and it WORKS!

2. Tuesday's at 3PM, 6 weeks prior to your flight is when plane tickets are cheapest.

Now I can say that this one is USUALLY the case. It has worked 95% of the time for me.

3. You can add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oil to any cake mix to make it into cookie dough!

LOVE LOVE THIS ONE. Especially with Funfetti Cake mix. YUM!

New Year, New Goals

Hey everyone!

I am doing this post majorly for my personal accountability! but.... I would love to be inspired and hear from you all on what goals you have set for this new year.

So, one of my favorite things is that my new year starts and my new age! I was born on January 6th so when I start a new year I am also starting my new year of age too! I feel so blessed at the beginning of the year and felt super motivated to start my new year off right with some meaningful goals.

For my 2018 year... and my 25th year of life, I want to grow more. I want to get out of my comfortable little bubble and make myself UNCOMFORTABLE.

Whatttt???? Why on earth would I do this to myself? I know, it's crazy. The quote that I am trying to live by is this, "GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE!" I truly believe this is the only way that I can grow into the woman I am meant to be. As hard as this is going to be for me, I am going to do it. I'm going to try really hard and become more than …

Simple & Effective - At Home Teeth Whitening

Raise of hands for those who struggle with time in their daily routine? Time is such a hard task to manage and we can tend to neglect our personal needs and wants when we run out of that time. One thing that has always stayed constant in my routine is a heathy smile. After going through braces for just about two years, I was going to enjoy my smile more than ever. That definitely meant keeping them white and clean.

I did great at keeping up with that and maintaining that smile until... MOTHERHOOD happened! That's when this momma struggled to manage time and especially her own personal time. My skin lost all hope, my smile had faded and I was definitely in need of a pick me up and a change in my routine! My kids happiness goes above and beyond mine any day, but to keep them happy I personally needed to feel good. That's where Smile Brilliantcomes in!

When Smile Brilliant reached out and asked if I wanted to try their product, I was stunned by their business plan. I don't kno…
