I was 1 in 4. On December 8th, 2020 we found out that I was pregnant. We were overjoyed of course! That joy was met with grief once we heard the words “there’s no heartbeat.”

It’s easy to see my bump, pregnancy announcements online, and baby feet and forget that 1 in 4 women will have a miscarriage. When it happened to me I felt like 1 in a million and utterly alone.

So this is for you! For the mamas who didn’t get to feel a kick or hear the first cry. For those who’ve kept it secret from their families and even their husbands. You’re not alone. There’s women who’ve been through what you’ve been through and made it to the other side. You will too.

I give all glory to God for helping me overcome my miscarriage and choosing us to be parents again. I’m so thankful he carried me through easily one of the darkest times in my life. It was a bittersweet reminder that he orchestrates our lives so perfectly. From our spouses, to our family, and even mentors, he has people at the right place and the right time just for us.

I recall telling my husband that there was nothing that would make me happy. Since then we’ve laughed until we’ve cried. Although it’s something we will never forget about it’s comforting to see how far God has brought us.

If you’ve suffered from a miscarriage I’m praying for you! I’m sending you love. Keep the faith. There could be a rainbow on the other side of this storm. 🌈💕✨

It’s Fall y’all 🍂

Fall is literally my favorite season of all time 😭 It’s not too cold and it’s not too hot and I’m finally able to pull out my sweaters, cozy socks, and fireplace blankets! 🤗

There’s just something about pumpkins, candles, and cuddles by the fire that just does my soul right. Plus a new season always feels like new opportunities, new blessings, and new joy.

What are you most excited about this season? Do you love fall or are you a miserable person 🤣 Let me know in the comments!! 😘

[Ad]I think we can all agree that keeping our houses clean can be a big job. 🥴

Of course, we want them to be free from clutter, but we also want them to be free from germs. That’s why I’m so excited to share two products from @dollargeneral that help me achieve just that! OxiClean™ has two products perfect for use on laminated surfaces, floors, walls, cabinets bathtubs and more. 🎉 I know that when we think of OxiClean™ we think of laundry, but they also have products that can clean our non-food contact surfaces!

My OxiClean™ 3-in-1 Deep Clean Multi-Purpose Disinfectant gives me the peace I need knowing that my house is clean and free of unnecessary bacteria*. I love to use this during my weekend deep cleans in those germy places like bathroom counters and tabletops. The OxiClean™ Daily Clean Multi-Purpose Disinfectant has an oxygen-based formula that is chlorine bleach-free to clean, sanitize, and remove everyday stains. I love how versatile this product is. You’re not limited to only using it inside of your home, you can use it outside as well! 💃🏽 What do you use to keep your home fresh and clean?

Head to DG.com to read my blog post for more details 🤗✨

Lately I haven’t been feeling inspired AT ALL 🥴

I had a conversation with my best friend about being influencers and it really scared me. I wasn’t feeling passionate anymore and I felt like I just didn’t love things how I used to.

I know a lot of bloggers have been talking about how things have changed so much since we started and it just seems like the fun isn’t in it anymore.

This is some thing that I’ve been doing for such a long time so to feel this way was really jarring and made me reconsider all of the work I’ve been doing over the past few years.

I know why I started my blog, I know that my mission is to create content that helps my girls look and feel their best, and I know that I want to empower my audience. I knew my whys, but something wasn’t sitting right.

The dreaded imposter syndrome.

It’s the “trick of the enemy” as my mom likes to say, to believe that we aren’t doing enough and that we aren’t living out our missions. When you do what you love to do with a full heart there’s no way your light can’t shine, no way that lives won’t be touched.

Lately I’ve been holding Philippians 4:13 dead knowing I can conquer all through him and that my work matters.

So here’s to kicking doubts to the side, to staying consistent when it sucks lol, to learning new skills, to bettering ourselves for the betterment of others.

If you needed a pick me up I hope this helped! I hope this encouraged you. & if you’ve ever questioned how much I care about the women I empower, just know, I take this seriously.

Hope you’re having a good week! Love you guys 💕 #bloggerlifestyle #womenempowerwomen #yougogirl #blazerdress #laceupheels #outfitscrapbook #fashioninstagram #outfitdaily #petitefashion #impostersyndrome

Cheers to the freaking weekend 🎉

Honestly this week has been a wee bit rough for me 😂 I haven’t been feeling my best which means I didn’t knock out my to-do list like I would’ve liked, leading me to feel unproductive. Which is fine you know, but also like not 😂

How many of y’all know it’s okay to give yourself grace? So I’m taking this weekend to enjoy time with family and rest up for a great next week! 🤗💕 #theoutfitcommunity #theoutfit #theoutfitscrapbook #petitestyle

New month, new habits! & We love a good on-the-go snack 🎉

It’s a new month and summer is in FULL swing. I was chatting with my cousin today about how quickly this year is flying by and how busy we’ve been. Speaking of being busy, I often find myself getting hungry while running errands around town. Luckily for me, @drinktastelli creates the perfect snack for those busy moments in life.

Their Konjac jelly pouches contain ingredients that help with skin elasticity, improves digestion, and reduces inflammation. That’s so much better than junk food right? 😂

I’m hoping to eat a little bit better 🥴New month, new habits! What are you looking to improve this month? #onthegosnack #bloggerlifestyle #petitegirls #summeroutfits #summervibes☀️ #summerlife #summergirl
