How to embrace the feelings! ⁠I heard the phrase this weekend about dealing with your feelings and not rushing them away. If you know me...I do this. I don't have time for sadness or pain...I got shit to do.⁠ However… I’m learning to FEEL - DEAL - HEAL⁠

I truly enjoy walking into Dollar Tree to find inspiration for quick and easy last-minute gift ideas. My local Dollar Tree had so much to offer and they displayed cute gift ideas for Valentine’s Day that inspired this post.

Halloween will look different for us this year but I ain’t really mad about that. We have decided to opt-out of our traditional trick-or-treating plans and decided to kick back at home and have a spooky movie night! To help make this movie night a tad more memorable we decided to create a cool Halloween Movie Night Snack Board. Check out this spooky video I made to the theme song of Tales From The Crypt.

Let’s talk about this Fall Brunch Board! I wanted to take our cinnamon roll breakfast up a tad with this beautiful spread! Food Boards are a fun way to serve and entertain your family and friends!

Yep! You read that correctly! Food Boards are my current obsessions. What is a food board? It’s a fun and creative way to serve food during meals or for entertaining purposes. Last year, I made my first charcuterie board and since then I fell in love with the idea of serving specialty meals in such a way!

My Grandfather, My Paw Paw, James William Dillard loved his striped button-up shirts. When he passed away in April, my sister and I decided we would use a few pairs of his shirts and make pillows out of them, however, we didn’t have a sewing machine.

In addition to that, I also have actionable steps and processes to help me make life easier because I do wear many crowns. I’m a wife, mother, business owner, founder of an organization, content creator, employee and the list goes on.

I share how I organize my days and use my time with the intention to get ish done and have fun!

Indiana State Museum’s 12 Historic Site Tour features Indiana’s hidden gems throughout Indiana from homes apart of the Underground Railroad to lavish Mansions.

This is our last month until we send the kids back to school or get back on our teaching/working/doing-all-the-things again mode.

Please share with me what you have planned for July!

Sometimes you just have to shoot them with Nerf bullets and start a Nerf gun war. Almost every other night is some type of an impromptu family game night! We play board games and card games, such as UNO, Life, and PieFace. The kids love to play video games with us. I’m the worst in playing Smash Bros but I kick all their butts in Mario Kart. We have watched so many classic movies with them.
