Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that I was complaining that it wasn't hot enough? And now... it's went from too cold to too hot. Sometimes I wonder if I can ever be pleased. Ha! Don't consult my husband on that question. I recently did a photo shoot in the streets of my hometown with my

I met Abby last year when I went to Pittsburgh to visit my friend Natalie. She had been someone who I had been connecting with online so when she reached out to me, I suggested we meet up! I will let Abby tell the rest of the story. She just recently released her very first e-book about how she

We were in Cozumel, Mexico back in January of this year. I was laying on the beach and Jeff had ran up to the room to grab me some more sunscreen. You know, at age 33 you gotta be worried about wrinkles. Ahem. I thought I'd check my email from my phone since I was all alone on the beach. And when

Welcome to the Inspire Me Please Weekend Blog Hop. I took the last two weeks off from posting the link up since I was on my RV adventure! But, it's back to normal now. Minus the fact that I left this morning for San Diego. Hehe. Will my life slow down soon? How is June almost over already.

Last year when I attended the Influence Conference I had a different attitude and mindset than I normally have at conferences. I went there with the desire to meet and make new friends. I'm usually the type of girl who would rather stay with "my people" and NOT meet new women. Because

You know what felt soooooo very good? TO BE ON OUR WAY HOME! Guuuurls...I squealed like a little girl on Christmas morning when we pulled back into the RV rental parking lot and I spotted that dirty black mini. I never thought I would be so happy to see my soccer mom vehicle. This trip was

We spent Friday at Grants Farm in St.Louis and the kids got to feed the baby goats. SJ was the sweetest little thing walking around trying to bottle feed them. He kept screaming..."Ober here baby doats!!!! Tome to Swoaney." Hehe! A baby feeding babies. Some more of our friends that live in

Our last leg of the trip ended in Eureka, MO. A college friend of mine, Jen, and her family met us for the last two days! They have an amazingly nice camper (it made me quite jealous)! We don't get together very often because they live in Chicago which is about 5 hours from us, so it was sooooo

We left my cousin's house around 9:00 am and headed to Garden of the Gods...which was gorgeous! We knew we couldn't leave Colorado Springs without seeing it. But after our short visit it was back in the RV for the LONGEST one day stretch we had made yet. It was brutal. I really thought I might

My cousin and her family live in Colorado Springs and so we decided to stop for a night (and a MUCH needed visit). My aunt was in town too from Illinois so we got to see her as well! You know what my cousin has? Nice big comfy beds and home cooked meals. Lots of SPACE and TOYS! I can not even
