Well friends, it’s official. I have an upper respiratory infection. The doc gave me a shot and phoned in cough syrup and some antibiotics. I think I’ll feel better real quick. 😷🤧

Good morning, friends. Happy Friday!

We are in Louisiana to celebrate the graduation of our beautiful Emma. When I look at her, I still see the precious little girl in this picture. Tonight I will take lots more pictures, so be prepared.

In the meantime, I need a favor. I am currently headed to a doc in the box. I coughed all night long. I started feeling like I was getting a cold yesterday, and now I know I’m getting something. Please pray it’s just a cold and I can get a shot or some meds and knock it out. Thanks, friends. And while you’re at it, be sure to wish Emma Rose a HAPPY GRADUATION! ❤️🎓

Good morning, y’all. Happy Thursday!

If you are needing a good laugh, then you are in the right place. Yesterday I went thrifting and shopping here at Gulf Shores. I met these sweet friends, Linda and Becky from Mississippi. We went for lunch with Kenny and Jane (our best friends) and I happened to look down at my feet. Y’all. I had on 2 different shoes. 😂 I had been all over the place in these shoes! I took a picture and sent it to Amy, and she was mortified. 😂😂

In my defense, it was dark in our bedroom when I got my shoes on. I grabbed what I thought was a matching pair. Well, they weren’t. I guess they are similar colors, but like Amy said, “How in the world did you not realize you had on 2 different shoes?” I sure didn’t. Linda and Becky, and anyone else that I saw out yesterday…I promise I hadn’t been drinking. This is just the real me. Please tell me that I’m not the only one who has ever done this

Ok friends. This post won’t be like my usual ones, but I feel like I have to say it. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would earn a living through social media, but I do. This is my job. It’s how I support my family. I often hear “Well you put your life out there for everyone so you should expect criticism.” While I don’t agree with that, I ignore about 95% of the criticisms and negativity that I do get.

Sometimes, though, I can’t ignore it.

Here’s a prime example of what we deal with. I would never, ever even think about posting such on the page of someone that I do know, much less don’t know in real life. But today I had this comment on a video that Amy and I posted a while back. I couldn’t believe it. Some of you may say, “Why would you post this?” Well, the person who commented it certainly didn’t mind posting it.

My morals are questioned often, I am criticized for “trying to make money” (even though this is my JOB), I have been called a “slow-talking ugly heifer,” (that is a direct quote), and much more. Seeing this today just struck a nerve.

The overwhelming majority of you are wonderful people and I consider you my friends. Those who leave comments like this, well I think I am going to handle things differently. Instead of ignoring, I may just repost them like I did here. Don’t worry. I blocked this person; since she feels so strongly about my family, I went ahead and did her the favor of making it so she can’t see us.

In every video I say to be salt and light and to be kind. I try to do that every day, both in my real life and online. I pray that everyone will do the same.

Good morning, friends. Happy Tuesday! Want to guess where we are? Here’s a hint. I hung up the needlepoint that Amy made for me on the wall…

Good morning, friends. Happy Monday! I wanted to share the sweetest little thing that our kids ministry did at church yesterday. They had this precious flower bar set up. Each of the kids got to make a bouquet for their mothers. Is this not the sweetest thing? Mason was so proud to give flowers to his mama. It takes special folks to work with children, and I am so thankful for our team of leaders at our church. I know that churches all over are made up of wonderful folks who go out of their way to do special things like this. We need to remember to pray for them and celebrate them.

HAPPY SUNDAY!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Today we celebrate all mothers and the love, strength, and care you give every single day. Mothers are truly a blessing, and while you deserve to be appreciated year-round, I’m thankful there is a special day set aside to honor you. Harold and I are heading to church this morning with grateful hearts, and we want you to know how much we appreciate you following along with us and sharing in our lives. Your kindness and encouragement mean so much.
I pray your day is filled with love, joy, and sweet moments with family and friends. Have a wonderful and blessed week ahead. Remember that Jesus loves you, and so do I.

Whenever I speak and share my story, I always say, “I’m sorry if you have heard this before. My story doesn’t change.” I don’t feel like I have anything extraordinary or special to share. All I know is that God is good, whether your situation is good or bad. His ways are higher. He has a plan, and He already knows. Today I got to share my story again to a room of almost 300 ladies. I am thankful for my church, and thankful for any opportunity I have to share about what God has done. I love you all. Thank you for being along for the ride.

Good morning friends! Happy Saturday!

This morning I was honored to be the speaker at our Mother’s Day Brunch. I will have more pictures and stories to share later; I just wanted to get these posted before I forgot. What are you doing today?

We celebrated May birthdays at the office today. It’s Brittany’s birthday today, and mine is on the 17th. Melissa gave us these precious kimonos…and said that she liked them so much that she got one for herself. I told her that’s my kind of gift giving! I have definitely done that before…have you?
