The big boys and I (and Coleman) had a cozy little setup last night. We watched Christmas movies until we fell asleep and it was perfect. 2 more days!! 🎅🏻🎄

The big boys to the rescue! I was packing lunches this morning and Charlie was crying. I asked the boys to help him, and then I walked in to this! One thing I keep thinking this time around is, it’s such a relief to not be the only one with the job of bringing Charlie happiness. When the big boys were little, I was really the only one who could calm them. I was the only one they ever wanted. But Charlie has a whole gang of people he loves and that make him happy and that is just so sweet to me 🥰

Man, I enjoyed some time with friends yesterday. My favorite part was riding in the car and getting to talk for hours and listen to music. But the shopping and food wasn’t bad either! Everything is better in life with friends ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey friends! I had these shirts made for my health business a few years back. They are Bella canvas and suuuuuuper soft and comfy. I’m selling them for $5 each if anyone wants one! I have 10 larges. If you normally wear a small or medium, this would be great with leggings! Or if you normally wear a large or will fit TTS! Let me know if you want one!

I could do this forever.

I was a VSCO girl for Halloween today. If you don’t know what this is, then you definitely don’t teach middle school. #hydroflask #scrunchies #sksksksk

Sometimes the big boys feel left out, so we have to swaddle them too 🥰

This picture might not look like much to you, but it’s a picture of grace to me. It’s a picture of a spotless playroom. Yesterday my mom kept Charlie all day AND cleaned our entire house, which sparkled when I got home. Then she took Berkeley to an appointment. Then she kept the boys while I had a meeting at work. And when I got home from my meeting and was starving, she went and got a salad from Stoby’s for me. When I was growing up they always told me, we are your biggest fan. Well, that’s still true today. My mom doesn’t have social media, but she deserved some recognition today...and every day!!

Every fall we watch Curious George BooFest with the boys. Its the coziest, most fall little movie ever. It’s become a sweet little tradition. And I’ve decided that even when they’re 20 and come home to visit from college, we’re watchin’ it! This year I made us some happiness to snack on while we watch it for the first time of the season 🎃 👻

Charlie didn’t even know until today that he has his very own train 🚂

My baby boy is turning EIGHT tomorrow!!!! He is such a joy to be around ❤️❤️❤️I love his little 2nd grade self to pieces.

Love having big boy helpers to feed Charlie while driving down the road! And they even fight over who gets to do it!

The most important thing about my life is...Jesus. -Berkeley You and me both, kid ❤️ we are nothing without Him.

Here we go!! I have so much hope and excitement for this school year. Not just for the boys, but for me too. These kiddos just continue to amaze me with who they are becoming. They can have real conversations and read real chapter books and it’s just not as sad to see them grow up when they are going to do such incredible things with their little lives.

I had one of the best meals of my entire life last night...shrimp and grits with fried collard greens, fried green tomatoes, ham, and okra. Beach food at its very best 🌊

Sweepin’ in mommy’s arms this morning ☀️ I love to make my coffee and sit out on the front porch with him until the big boys slowly make their way out there too. It has become a morning ritual this summer and I have a feeling I’ll remember it forever ❤️

If you’re a boy mom, you’re going to LOVE this new podcast by @monicaswanson_ 💙💚 she’s got a boy mom book coming out in August too! Just had to share!!

Will not EVER get over that I get to do this again when I originally thought we were fully in the big boy season from here on out. What a sweet blessing 💙

I’m sure it’s the only child in me 🤷🏻‍♀️but I certainly don’t hate being the only girl in the family!

All of my boys on Father’s Day 💙💙💙💙 Derek, we are thankful for all the wrestling, playing, serving and loving you do for these boys. We love you!!!!

Oh my, this little one is a dream. I love my big boys with my whole heart, but they wanted mom and only mom from the very first day. This baby will sleep on anyone, let anyone feed him, and doesn’t make a peep unless you’re changing his diaper or he’s hungry and I don’t get him fed quickly enough. He is a big ball of God’s grace to our family. I wanted another baby but was so worried of throwing off what we already had that was so good. But he’s fitting in just fine. BETTER than fine 🥰 And today he’s 3 weeks old!

I told the boys they could get 25 cents per branch that they picked up from the storm on Wednesday. However, I very much underestimated how hard they would work and now I owe them like a million dollars 😱

As a teacher, it’s so fun to have a side gig where I can make some extra fun money for our family during the summer! Already this week I’ve made money while hanging out with my family and even after just having a baby! See, anyone can do it!! If you’re interested in a FREE opportunity selling the products I love so much (two of those being the toothpaste and self tanner I rave about on here all the time), let me know! These products sell themselves because they WORK! Let me know if you’re interested!!

I was so worried about this summer for the big boys because we are so used to adventuring together. BUT Charlie has been a dream so far and just sleeps and eats wherever we are. Currently sitting outside watching the boys swim and holding this little sleeping lovey 🥰

Went ahead and splurged on the redneck pool since actually going to the pool will be a little difficult this year ☀️

Not a bad way to spend Charlie’s nap time, which is like, allllllll the time at this point ☀️🇺🇸🍉

A little pickin’ and grinnin’ on the front porch this morning. I so hope Sam sticks with this banjo playing because it’s a joy to see him practice. So thankful for my mom for getting him lessons 🎶

Charlie’s first walk! This mama is struggling not being able to be outside non-stop in this gorgeous weather, but he’s worth it 🥰

We have another kindergarten graduate!!! It was pretty emotional seeing him walk across that stage, knowing he’s entering a new phase, but praise the Lord I still have that baby in my arms to graduate kindergarten one day 🙌🏻

It’s very helpful having two extra baby holders this time around 🥰

Waking up to this sweet precious bundle this morning ☀️Charlie Hayes Sherwood. Born yesterday at 4:46 pm, 6lbs 5 oz and absolute perfection.

Well, Charlie can come now! My mom just treated me to our traditional manicure and pedicure before having a baby 💙 It’s almost time!!

This is a dream meal for me!! 😍 I could eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner!! Toasted sourdough bread with avocado on one•almond butter, thinly sliced green apples and a drizzle of honey on the other Did you know avocados have more fiber than spinach or even broccoli!!?? I’m on a mission to help people see you don’t have to scour Pinterest for complicated recipes or spend tons of money on meals. Simple is BEST.

I am going to start posting more of my Freelife Health posts here because God has been been putting it on my heart more and more to encourage women in this way, and I feel like I will reach more here 💕 So many people tell me they don’t have time to workout. I have stayed in really good shape throughout this pregnancy (and for the last couple years) simply by walking and lifting weights 3-4 times per week for literally SIX to EIGHT minutes at a time. That’s it! It doesn’t take two hours at the gym. It just takes consistency (and a healthy diet, which I’ll talk more about!) and you’re good to go! And if your life is anything like mine, you’ll have a kid or two talking your ear off or crawling all over you while you do it 💪🏻
