But I discovered this awesome company, Farmers & Fishermen Purveyors at the beginning of the pandemic, while watching a local news story here in Atlanta. They used to supply food for restaurants, but they quickly pivoted and started doing home deliveries when everything shut down. So…

It was a day that I wish Davis could have been with me to witness my level of adaptability. In short, I went for a mammogram and didn’t get a mammogram. I had a scheduled routine mammogram that I was already a little nervous about, and because of what…

Well, we had bad storms here in Atlanta last night, and we lost power a few minutes before we went to bed. It came back on at 2:30 AM, which meant that EVERY. SINGLE. LIGHT came on in our house! ??♀️ Then, true to form for 2020, it…

Davis and I spent about 11 hours at our neighborhood pool this past weekend—5 1/2 hours each day on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday morning, I was able to get in a workout before he was ready to join me, and it was WONDERFUL! I had the entire…

I was sitting next to a co-worker and fellow mom,…

Even though it's Sunday, Lebrean and I both had work to do, which left Davis demanding our attention for much of the day. Insert "mom guilt," right? Well, not quite. I really try not to use the term "mom…

And now here we are jumping right back in—a full day of calls and…

The whole segment about Postpartum Depression/Anxiety was so touching. It’s interesting: 5 years into motherhood, I still find myself…

I love it! ??? I love that it says “Love HAS no color” and not “Love SEES no color.” While the notion of being “color blind” sounds nice and that’s what many of us…
