With 5 children, life can be a little chaotic. Occasionally I have to make sacrifices, but I always make sure that style isn’t one of them. Yes, I do just throw on a t-shirt and jeans a lot of the time, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do it with style. Sometimes being a mom means you don’t always get time to throw together a perfect outfit. But, with a little curation of my closet, I’ve found that dressing in…
For all you mamas out there, you know that sometimes our job can be really hard. We go through our own hardships and fights, but when we see our children struggle we feel a heartache we didn’t even know existed. When I started homeschooling the bunch, I felt blessed to have my babies with me during the day. But when River showed signs of a learning disability, things got tough very quickly. If you have a child with any disability,…
Do you feel that? Love is in the air! Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. What is more beautiful than a day to celebrate the ones we hold near and dear! Jep and I celebrate our love daily, but February 14 always feels extra special. I love spending the days leading up to the holiday with my children doing crafts. My favorite? Decorating cookies. Valentine’s Day cookies make great gifts to share with friends and family (and yourself!)…
It’s almost a week into the month and I’m starting to feel it: the February slump. Why is it that the shortest month of the year feels the longest? For many, winter is still at full blast; even Austin is at its chilliest. Where does that leave my fitness plan? These days, sometimes it’s easier to be cozy in bed in the morning than to put on work out clothes and get ready to sweat. It’s tempting to hold off…
I am one of those women who rarely leaves the house without something on her lips. I’m totally addicted to chapstick and gloss, and I’m not ashamed of it. But my favorite thing to put on? Lipstick. A good red lipstick. There is something about red lipstick. It’s so classy, yet also sexy and alluring. I just feel better when I have on a good shade and anything I wear instantly becomes 100% more stylish. It’s just a truth: lipstick…
One luxury I can’t live without? A nice, warm bath. When I’m soaking in the tub, I find myself in my own little relaxing world. How nice it is to wash away the stresses of the day, leaving both my body and soul in clean condition. When I bathe, I love to use bath salts to sink me even further into relaxation. Bath salts can reduce inflammation and soothe tired muscles, especially after a workout. (Go CrossFit!) But the real…

We’re into the second week of 2018 and I can hardly believe it. I love it when the new year comes. It gives me time to reflect on the year prior, and I have a chance to evaluate what is missing in my life and what I should do more of and less of. I like to set goals, and January is the perfect time to wipe the slate clean and start over. Here are some things I learned during…
When it comes to the holidays, we Robertsons are pretty traditional. While we may not have an elf on the shelf or go looking for pickle ornaments, we do have a lot of fun. Usually, our festivities begin in November. Christmas music starts playing on the radio early in the month, and I’m right and ready, cranking up the volume in my car to Bing Crosby and the other crooners. Music is important in our home, so we have piles…
