Hey Jayme

My latest obsession…

Toasted (plain or sesame) + cream cheese + sliced peaches + a drizzle of local honey

Oh. My. Word. 🤤
Try it. And you’re welcome.

This is what hard work + perseverance looks like.

Back at the beginning of quarantine when everyyyyone was getting a pup, we were pretty darn close to jumpin on the train too.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝗼 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝗼 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝗼𝐧…

So we told the girls, yes, you can get a dog… but you have to save for it.

They were slightly bummed. But then they got to work. Chores. Babysitting. Lemonade stands. Dog sitting. Mowing grass. And with each payday they would get to color in more of the bone chart!

A couple weekends ago they finally reached their goal!! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐶

To say I am proud of them is an understatement. I am pretty sure that whatever dog we end up with will be the most loved little thing ever!

Girls. I hope you have learned, and now know, that you can do anything you put your mind to. Work hard and do your very best. Be grateful for all that God has given you. And keep going, don’t give up!

Not sure what I did to deserve these amazing tiny humans… thank you Jesus!

These pics needed a spot to live. Right here on my squares.

This was a weekend that I’ll never forget. Never. Our team snuck away to a beautiful place tucked away - right in the city!😂

It was so fun taking walks to get some meals... getting a view of the Cincy skyline.. 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.
..but the time spent doing the heart work was really incredible. Challenging each other to be the best versions of ourselves.

And now walking away ready to take it all on. Nothing is going to stop me from getting to my goals and making my dreams happen. Nothing.

((Oh and getting to FINALLY squeeze my girl
and some of her amazing girls of (...if the whole rest of the weekend would have been a flop, it would have been worth it just for that!) Three years of insta friendships in the making. 🥰))

𝐒𝗼 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 ...just go for it. Do the thing. You know what it is. It seems too big for you. You don’t feel ready. You don’t feel good enough. Prepared enough. Experienced enough.

But just go for it. Growth doesn’t happen when you sit in comfort. It happens when you push yourself to do the scary and big things.

I am truly so grateful for this group of girls.. each of these faces represents a friendship I never knew my life needed. Getting to do this business with people I love so much... my biz bestie for the restie - couldn’t have done this big thing without you (nor would I have wanted to!😘)

It doesn’t look like it in the pic ... but just trust me, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅. 💪🏻

In a day where all the things seem flipped upside down, I feel proud to live in a town that stands up for what is right.

Fighting for the sanctity of life. For the least vulnerable. The ones that cannot speak for themselves ..just yet. The precious unborn babies.
Abortions will officially no longer be allowed in this city.

So many things are just accepted these days as normal. And ok. But I will never, ever see killing an unborn baby as acceptable. Not your DNA, not your choice. It’s really pretty simple.

When I was pregnant with Brynn, we were told multiple times (after so many extra appointments) that she has some sort of defect... hole in her heart, etc... and she will have issues when she’s born... so they wanted to let us know ahead of time in case we wanted to make another decision with how we move forward.

The actual thought of this makes me absolutely sick. We told them so many times it doesn’t matter what’s wrong with her, she’s our child.

Spoiler alert. Nothing was wrong. At all. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How many women have they talked into making a different decision tho?! Based off of false information. (Not saying they were lying to me, just saying that they don’t always know 100%!)

Last night we were able to talk to our girls about this issue and let them come to the conclusion on their own... which was “this is horrible” ...spot on. This was another chance to show them things to pray for in our country and celebrate the wins in our city.

A big thanks to our city leaders for standing on the truth. Even tho it’s the hard route to take and you’re being criticized through it all. You are appreciated!

I like what I like. 🤍🖤

So excited!!!

The wait is over. We'll see you live at 8:00 ET on our social channels and "The Chosen" app.

I was there too. Zero motivation. Zero care.

Lots of goals and dreams.
Lots of things to work on and do better.

But then, throwing myself 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 to all the things only caused confusion and chaos to my body! Anyone relate? Just me? Ok cool.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Make slow changes. One at a time. You’ll know when it’s right to introduce the next thing.

My big goals over the past several months (or year!) have been to wake up earlier, read my Bible every day, workout, stay consistent with my business (which in itself has so many aspects)... but guess what - it was too much all at once.

So I chose one. Got into a routine... then all of a sudden felt a nudge to add in the next thing.. try it and see what ya think!!! 💪🏻

(disclaimer: I am convinced adding in regular chiropractic care has helped me to actually wake up earlier in the mornings ...without feeling like I might die from early rising😂... 💯recommend)

I'll match this little nugget for as long as she will let me!!
(especially if it involves black overalls - sorta obsessed.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being a momma has taught me a lot. A whole bunch. These kids are always watching. Always listening (more so when they shouldn't be than when they SHOULD be!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More times than I care to admit, they have acted in a certain way or said something in a tone that made me cringe because I KNOW they learned it from watching their momma. 😑
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think that kids are God's way of fast-track sanctification. Maybe not fast-track... but I definitely see a lot of more of my sin on the daily because of these little humans He has given to me. My prayer is that I would be someone that my girls look at and see Jesus. That they see love and grace ...and boldness to do the right thing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More than anything, I just want to live my life for Him (just as the generations in my fam before me) and continue to pave that way for my girls to follow.

Easy button:
Add all the things I need to cart.
Get the box off my doorstep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This box has just a few of the things (supplements and makeup) ... I had a separate box that had lots of the other day-to-day necessities.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I wanted to tell you all about my Ningxia Red (as promised from yesterday) - because we take this every. single. day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We call it our red juice around here - but it is so much more than juice. It's a super infused powerhouse drink. Your body needs 20 amino acids to function to its fullest, only 9 are considered essential.
Ningxia Red contains:
⌁ 18 amino acids
⌁ 21 trace minerals
⌁ 6 essential fatty acids
⌁ vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E
⌁ it's packed to the brim with antioxidants
⌁ helps with energy (I'm lookin at you: afternoon crash!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We just line up the shot glasses and take about 1oz every morning. It makes me feel confident and empowered to know that I am giving my girls quality supplements every day - and it 100% seems to be working. (I think their doc may have forgotten about us!? 🤷🏽‍♀️😂)

Startin our day with Ningxia shots since 2017...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we aren’t about to stop anytime soon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will chat more about this magical red juice tomorrow. But for now it’s giving us all the goodness we need to start this day off right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now it’s time to go outside for some rollerblading lessons... gotta make sure these girls experience the same amazing childhood I did. 😂 Rollerblading in all the basements of the neighborhood (that was my fave because it was so smooth!) ... then up and down the street all summer long!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have those same memories? 🙋🏽‍♀️

30 days of showing my face in my feed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dang that was hard. I didn’t want to do it. But I was challenged to it - and I’m not one to back down from a challenge. I will find a way. So I did it. I did it a little scared. And nervous. But I did it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those are the spaces where we grow. When we get out of our comfort zone and do things that don’t come naturally to us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So do that thing. Do it scared. Face it head on.
And see what can come from it.
Here’s a fist bump... 👊🏻 ...don’t leave me hangin’...

Here’s a little secret I have.

When I make my warm drinks... or hot tea... I typically warm + froth oat milk to add to it. I add this little guy - 𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒔 - into the oat milk for an added pop of flavor.. plus turmeric is so good for you!

⌁ anti-inflammatory
⌁ ease depression
⌁ fight viral infections
⌁ ease joint pain
⌁ stop growth of tumor cells
⌁ headache remedy
