I would consider my “style” to be on the neutral farmhouse/cottage side of the spectrum. A lot of my decor is thrifted or clearance finds (and I pride myself in my ability to find a bargain 😉 #HollaForADolla ). I am a part-time grad student (working on my MBA) and work as the Marketing Director for a local real estate firm.

I’ve been blogging for almost five years now, and it has come to be a truly happy place for me! So many of the accounts I follow on Instagram inspired me to start this digital space and share my passions on a new level. (You can find some of those amazing people under the “My Favorite Bloggers” tab!)

So, the goal is to provide everyday people like me with the motivation to “keep on keepin’ on” and to show that you don’t have to big bucks to create beautiful spaces. I love to see/hear feedback, so comments whether on here or on social media, which is linked on the home page, are most definitely welcome.

We spend a lot of time looking forward and sometim We spend a lot of time looking forward and sometimes we need to look back to see how far we’ve come. 
.
Not trying to toot my own horn… but 40ish lbs is a lot of weight… especially when you’re like 5’4 🤪 And I still need to find some muscle (which these legs must be growing rn b/c they been screaming since 4am after yesterday’s adventures at good ol’ crunch 🙈💀) but just taking a second to be proud that I’ve stuck with the gym for about a year now.
.
Have I gone every day/week - absolutely not. Do I use the same 4-5 machines - for the most part (until yesterday - trainer man killin me ded) 
I never thought I’d be the guy that WANTS to go the gym but lately it’s about the only thing that gives me some sanity. 
.
That’s why I like the stairs. You gotta keep climbing. Just like in life… it’s hard, it’s all up hill and sometimes it feels like it’s going too fast, and sometimes you trip, and sometimes you gotta skip a step or two just to keep up… but you have to keep going. Otherwise you’ll be laid out on your face…
.
There’s a lot going on in life for everyone. Between work, family, friends… it’s a lot. And ngl - this week has felt like especially a lot. But it’s impossible to not pause & be thankful for the blessings we do have because all of us are blessed. If you’re reading this, YOU are blessed… there may be probs, but you’re still blessed. I think these past couple years have taught me that the real blessings, the ones that matter more than any money or house or car or career or whatever… is people. The people you have by your side. People can’t be replaced. Things can. Things can’t hold on to you or pat you on the back or give you a smile. People can. 
.
And yes, I’m an overly emotional person… 🥹🤪 pretty sure I made the stock price of Kleenex go up this week by myself 🙈🤪 I laugh big, I cry big(ger) and once I’ve decided I love you, that’s it - we in it together. We carry each other and lately there’s been a bit more to carry, AND yet we keep going… keep climbing… keep the faith (where’s Miley Cyrus 😂🤪🙈🎶) 
.
The big blessings in my life are my people. Just looking back at far we’ve come this morning, and looking forward to how far we go 💙
June’s over bro?! Ju-lying! 🤪 Crazy to think June’s over bro?! Ju-lying! 🤪 Crazy to think this year is half way over 🙈 
June was a whirlwind… meetings, houses, contracts, sunburns, picnics, ballgames, workouts, fish 😜🤪 But somehow we made it… on to the next adventure! (But with sunscreen this time 🧴😅)
.
Happy July Peeps!

Just taking a second to say l I’m so blessed to Just taking a second to say l I’m so blessed to have some amazing people in my life, and this one here… he’s at the top of the list. I can’t even remember what life was like before “Baby J”
Some people come into our lives for a reason, & I know God was watching out for me when this one came rolling in to sign up for real estate school over a year ago. Little did I know, I was meeting my bro. It’s been a crazy ride to say the least… exams and excitement, contracts and crazies, rats and real estate (don’t ask 🐀🙈)… late nights and early mornings, 2am chaos and midday breakdowns, tears and laughter, ups and downs… and we’ve been right there for each other the whole way through. He’s my ride or die and I wouldn’t trade him for anything…
Now, does he cuss a little… YES… does he always take my advice… no… can he be a drama llama… 💯🦙… does he have a different pair of shoes for everyday of the year… yessss 👟… Are his teeth brighter than the peeps in an orbit commercial… you bet 😎🦷😁 
.
And I am so unspeakably proud of him… not just because of the real estate. And he is killing it. But I’m more proud of who is, and how I’ve been privileged to see him grow. I’ve seen him put his family first, I’ve seen him step out on faith, I’ve seen him work harder than just about anyone, I’ve seen how he fights for his clients, I’ve seen how much he loves his people, I’ve seen him push through when it was really hard to keep going, I’ve seen him build something that is incredible. 
.
Baby J, Big Money, Smokey, Andy, Broski, Brother - thanks for coming into this hot mess express life of mine. Thanks for always being there… for building me up when I’m down… for looking out for me… for being a shoulder to cry on… for pushing me to be better and to get outside my comfort zone… for sending stupid reels that crack us up… and for making me feel like I’ve always got someone in my corner. 
From KeKe to Momo to Pickles 🥒 to Rocketships 🚀 to MarsMen 🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀 to Tractors 🚜 … to the moon 🌕🚀🚀🚀🤪😂 (God we’ve got too many inside jokes 🤪) … I’m so thankful for you. Where you go I go, where I go you go… and #CD is going all the way… #PlayThatTrack Love ya, broski!
Hey peeps! Gotta take a minute to shout out my #Be Hey peeps! Gotta take a minute to shout out my #BestieForTheRestie! This girl is a powerhouse… and Idk when we became friends… I guess it’s like that meme that says one day I started yapping and she yapped back, and here we are… or it might have been when I rode with her the first time and a murder podcast was in full swing, and I realized that it was probably safer to be friends 😂😂😂🔪
She’s my go to person when life gets to be a little much because she can talk me off a ledge like nobody’s business. She’s one of the kindest souls ever with a big heart ready to help anyone… and yet she could also snap you like a twig if you on the wrong side. 😅😂 I’ve always said if I ever got in a fight I’d want the #CrossFitQueen👑 in my corner. 😂😂😂 
But seriously, she is one of the most loyal and dependable people in my world. And even though she’s running 100mph 24-7, she’s never too busy to check in, encourage ya or just to tell it like it is and get you over the hump when you’re struggling. You know that scene from the incredibles where Edna or whatev is whacking with a newspaper saying to “pull yourself together.” Well Kaitlyn is Edna for me… basically weekly. 🤪🗞️
We’ve been through some cray cray… from figuring out Board Budgets to ghost tours and haunted houses (💀🪦 not my thing) to ballgames and crazy weather to getting pulled over by the Popo 🚨 to decorating beach houses and who knows what else. We never know what a day will bring… or what may pop up in a video (🥖🥖🥖🤣☠️😵😂)
But I do know that you’re a true blessing and I could make it without ya, friend!
.
Kaitlyn, KK, Twin - you’re really something, ya know that? So, so thankful for you my sista from anotha mista! Thanks for listening to my craziness… even when I get all high pitched and on the breaking point. Thanks for never judging but always helping find the solutions. Thanks for always having my back. Thanks for making sure I’m alright. Thanks for threatening to whoop me when I need to pull it together 🤪😂 And thanks for making me feel like family. I’m so freaking proud of you! You’re an inspiration for so many, including me. Love ya!

Idk what’s around the corner next month… so all I know to do is buckle up and hang on for the ride. If God brings you to it, He’ll bring you through it. And it may be a lot but somehow we handle it. So legggooooomomo 🤪 Bring it! 💪
5 months in… ✨ Almost halfway through my term 5 months in…
✨ Almost halfway through my term as president of the #HCBOR 🪩 #Shine2025
✨ Helped @kkennedyashley redo a Beach House

✨ Oh and I got to hang out with Glenda Baker 🤩
.
Has it been an easy year… absolutely not 😅 We’re juggling A LOT and trying to keep all the balls in the air… and half of them are behind the scenes that peeps don’t see. And yet I saw this template in good ol’ #Capcut and it made me take a second to reflect on just how much we’ve gotten done… and how much we’re still going to do! 
.
Was speaking at GAR scary? yes! (Also very cool, but I basically blacked out and just went into auto drive for like 10 minutes 🙈)
Was putting my first offer in on a house for me scary? HECK to the yes! (And even though it was not “the one that was meant to be,” I learned a lot and we’re more ready for the next one.) 🏡
Do I feel like I have no clue what I’m doing most days? YES - and we face it til we make it. I’ve learned I’m a lot better at figuring stuff out than I realized. 🤓
.
Annnnndddd…
Are we doing the things?! YES
Do we have BIG dreams?! YES
Are we doing more “scary” things this year?! YES
Because growth isn’t optional…. And there’s no limits other than the ones we put on ourselves…
.
And the things I mentioned are not a flex or a brag, just a moment of pride looking back at what all craziness we’ve knocked out this year… Who knows where we’ll be in another 7 months, but I’m a long for the ride. So legggggooooo 🚀

AND while it’s all crazy and everyday has its own challenges… I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to do all this craziness. And way, way more thankful for the peeps I get to do it with. Literally couldn’t make it without the peeps popping up on this video (+ the rest of my fam… and yes I say “the rest” because these friends are family), and I’m just really blessed with the people that God’s got running alongside me right now. 🥹

“How did I even get here?” You blink and high “How did I even get here?” 
You blink and high school was over a decade ago, college flew by, all of sudden you’re in the hustle - doing the same things day after day. Doesn’t sound too exciting does it? 🤪 But that’s where we win… doing the same thing day after day. 
Want to get fit? 🏋️ You go to the gym (almost 😜) every day, you make better choices. 
Want to buy a house? 🏡 You save that money, and make better choices, and ultimately step out on faith that it will all work out. 
You want to grow your business? 📈 You show up day after day, you do the stuff you don’t want to do, you shake off the “no’s” and keep searching for the “yes’s.”
You want to win? 🏆 You show up to practice, you run the laps, you learn the new stuff - that’s where you win. 
It’s not in the actual game. 
.
Life throws a lot at us all the time. And when we get on social media we’re literally watching a highlight reel of everyone’s life. I was listening to @melrobbins this morning about how we have GOT to get out of all this comparison. It’s literally crippling and causes so much anxiety. There’s a time and season for everything. And almost no one sees the work and hustle and grind behind the scenes. 
.
This moment right here (which is still insane to me) took nearly 7 years… this is not a flex or brag at all. There are a ton of people who outshine me daily that could have been up there and yet saying yes while others hesitate or just showing up will go a long ways. And there’s still a lot more to do and accomplish, and sometimes we just have to wait it out til the timing is right. 
If you’re in a season waiting, you’re not alone! A LOT of us are - we’re waiting for the house, the spouse, the car, the job, the (fill in the blank)… and yet don’t let that keep you from cheering for your peeps when they get their break through. LET THEM win, LET THEM celebrate, LET THEM shine… because your time will come and you’ll want to see them cheering for you. And they put in that work behind the scenes to get there. Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides. Focus on you. Focus on that next step. On that 1% better. And let’s see how far we go. Happy Monday, peeps! 💪🚀💙
