A little bit of this...and that

Summer is here and it's so exciting!!!  I have been ready for summer, slower days and easier schedules.  I feel like I relax a little bit more this time of year.  However, this summer has had a different flavor for us.  As most of you know we have moved out of our home and are deep in the throws of renovation.   While, renovating was always our plan and I had a clear picture in my end of the finished product I didn't really think about moving out of our home and staying in an apartment while we were working on the house.   So people have messaged me about this process and so I figured I would just do a blog post and answer your top 5 questions here and now, ha!   1.  When are you going to do another post on the progress of the renovations? YIKES!!  Ok so I haven't been updating the blog with the renovation progress as often as I planned to mostly because I do most of that on my instastories (feel free to follow me on insta).   I am planning to do a lengthy blog po

I want to start out by saying I feel a massive amount of love, respect and honor for all of those individuals who are teachers.  I truly feel like you are the unsung heroes of our world and don't get near enough credit (or pay).   I entertained the idea of being a teacher for about 15 minutes in elementary school and realized even then I didn't have the patience.  My stuffed animals weren't cooperating with the ABC's lesson I put together and I lost interest pretty quickly.   I really didn't give it much thought again until I had kids.  I got a lot of anxiety after having my first child and a massive amount after having my second.  As I did some soul searching about the anxiety I realized it was because of the terrifying thought that I am their most important teacher.  You see all those little sayings and signs about moms/parents being the most important teacher, just be being.   All I can say to that is JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!  Y'all I am far from perfect I

Happy Friday this and thatters! If you follow me on insta you know that Matt and I are renovating our home!  It's probably more accurate to call it an out and out gut job, ha.  We have removed the entire roof, tons of windows etc. etc. I thought it would be fun to document our journey here!  It has been a fun journey so far.  Everyone asks me if demo is hard and for me it isn't because I love seeing big progress each and everyday!  I know there will be days and even weeks that I can't really tell that anything is happening so I am relishing this time.   For my first post on our reno I thought it would be fun to post some before pics of our place and a some demo shots as well.  Enjoy!! xoxo Here are the before pics of our little casa!

Happy Hump Day this and thatters!!  I hope your day and week are going swimmingly.  I hope you enjoy this edition of The Confessional. xoxo 1.  So I really gotta get it together and start eating better.  I feel like I've been eating on the go and just eating whatever I can get my hands on.  Ha!  I feel so much better when I eat healthy so I need to get on it.  I know people who have done Whole 30 but I'm not sure I have the discipline to do that.  Has anyone tried it?  Thoughts? 2.  I'm really ready for summer!  I need some serious pool and outdoor time.  I also feel like swimming wears my kiddos out like nothing else and everyone sleeps a ton better.  This will be the first year Olivia can really enjoy the pool and ocean and I can't wait to see her reaction.  She's pretty fearless so I'm sure she will dive right in (pun intended).  I'm signing Em up for swim lessons and I'm excited/nervous to see how that goes.  Anyone have any advice? 3.  My

Happy day beautiful people!  I hope your week is kicking off beautifully.  I'm not gonna lie we are a little slow moving around the Womack household after a packed weekend.  I hope you enjoy this edition of what's what! xoxo 1.  Podcasts Ok so I'm very late to the whole podcast party....feel free to judge me :)  However I am fully a fan these days.  Driving back and forth to Atlanta from Cvegas can sometimes take up to two hours (on bad days and that's one way) and I had to do something to start passing the time and even XM radio wasn't cutting it.  One more when I was leaving at 6:15 am I just randomly thought I need something to keep me awake and I started browsing podcasts as I was filling up with gas.   It has truly been a game changer for me especially on bad traffic days.  If I'm hooked into a good one I really don't even notice how long it's taking me to get home or to work.  I have two favorite podcasts I'm loving right now.  The fir

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
