YESTERDAY was our 18 year wedding Anniversary! I posted this on Facebook yesterday but I wanted to give this a spot on my feed here on IG because I think it’s an amazing tale that needs to be told!

SATURDAY LATE NIGHT THOUGHTS from your favorite former hood rat turned chicken head homesteader-ish. 🐓😂 Isn’t it WILD that I spent YEARS building businesses, making money, and chasing success…only to realize I wasn’t making time for the things I wanted MOST?! OOOF. 🫠 Somewhere along the way, BUSY became a personality trait. “How are you?” “BUSY!” BUT GURRRLLFFRIIEENNNDDD… Since when did having no time to enjoy your life become SUCCESS?! And I’m preaching to MYSELF. BIGTIME. Bailey recently told me she had my schedule memorized back when she needed my attention and I was always “too busy.” OUCH. 💔 I’ve built businesses, made incredible money, and worked ridiculous hours. Turns out you can be incredibly PRODUCTIVE while missing the people you’re working so hard FOR. The goal was never just money. IT WAS FREEDOM. Freedom to be present with my kids. To homeschool. To spend time with my husband. To go wherever, whenever. To build businesses I believe in. To sit with my chickens without feeling guilty about the 47 other things I could be doing. 😂🐓 If maintaining your lifestyle requires sacrificing everything meaningful, maybe it’s time to reevaluate what you’re building. Don’t get it twisted. I STILL have BIG goals and believe in building wealth! But at 40, I’m asking a different question: “Am I being INTENTIONAL with the life God has given me TODAY?” Our kids won’t stay little. And someday isn’t guaranteed. You can be ambitious AND present. You can work hard AND rest. You can build wealth without making productivity your identity. ANYWAY…I’m currently being the passenger princess I was born to be, reminding Justin how to drive properly. 😂 We’re headed to celebrate 18 YEARS of marriage on the 18th at our mini castle! 🏰❤️ Although 18 years feels more like 126 DOG YEARS. 💀🤣 We’ll unpack THAT another day! For now, I’m enjoying my evening with my best friend. Hope you are too! ❤️ Anybody else learning that being BUSY and being FULFILLED are two VERY different things?

Everybody wants “COUPLE GOALS” until they understand what it actually COSTS to build a marriage that lasts. I’m not talking about the cute pictures, date nights, vacations, or anniversary posts. I’m talking about the seasons nobody sees. The addiction. The betrayal. The heartbreak. The loss. The painful conversations. The moments when you look at the person you’ve spent your life with and barely recognize them anymore. The moments when you question everything you thought you knew. Because here’s something I’ve learned after almost two decades of marriage… LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH. You can love someone with every fiber of your being and still have a marriage that’s unhealthy. It takes two people willing to confront their own brokenness. To stop protecting their egos and start protecting each other’s hearts. To take accountability without excuses. To recognize the childhood wounds, unhealthy patterns, and coping mechanisms they’ve carried into their marriage. And to understand that forgiveness and rebuilding trust are two very different things. But something beautiful can happen when BOTH people are willing to do the work. You begin to see each other differently. Not through the lens of resentment, betrayal, shame, or everything that’s gone wrong. You begin to TRULY SEE the person underneath all that pain. And you realize that loving someone isn’t just about wanting them in your life. It’s about becoming someone who is SAFE for them to love. Someone who protects their heart, even when nobody’s watching. Someone who chooses honesty when lying would be easier. Humility when ego wants control. And accountability when excuses would feel better. Because the goal was never simply to STAY married. The goal is to build a marriage where neither person has to sacrifice their emotional safety just to keep the relationship together. And maybe that’s what REAL couple goals look like. Not two perfect people who never hurt each other. But two imperfect people who are willing to surrender what was broken and allow God to build something healthier than what they had before. Not just a marriage that survives. A marriage that�

HOMECOMING 2026 This last year has been one of the craziest years of our lives. But somewhere in the middle of all of it, Bailey met this cutie little patootie named Ty. ❤️ And when you’re around these two, you FEEL it. The chemistry is so obvious that I literally have a group text with them called “Chemistry.” 😂 Yesterday, getting them ready for Homecoming,we just kept standing back and taking it all in. Because let’s be real… sometimes Homecoming around here feels like the annual recycling program. 😂 Everybody swaps dates from year to year and half the time you’re wondering if they even like each other. That goes for friend groups too 🫠 I said what I said. But this felt different. I got to watch a young man who genuinely cares about my daughter stand beside her. Someone who matches her. Makes her laugh. Looks at her in a way parents notice. 👏🏻 They looked absolutely stunning, but honestly, that wasn’t even my favorite part. My favorite part was watching the way they looked at each other. The friendship. The laughter. The love. The chemistry. And knowing that if Bailey graduates this year like she’s planning, this could have been her last Homecoming & it made this mom feel ALL the things. 😭 This year has also been a year of cutting off access to people and environments that weren’t healthy, and one of the greatest gifts in all of that has been getting more time with my daughter than I feel like I’ve had in years. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Bailey & Ty we’re so proud of yall! Some people will say, “They’re young. It’s just high school.” And maybe. But I also don’t think we have to minimize something beautiful just because they’re young. So instead, I’m praying they keep learning how to love and honor each other, protect each other’s hearts, communicate well, set healthy boundaries, and encourage & challenge each other to become better even when it’s uncomfortable. Yesterday was so special. And in a year that has felt like so much was being torn apart… God was also quietly putting some really beautiful things together. ❤️ Homecoming 2026 was by far the best one yet. 🥹 NAILED IT!

BLUE COLLAR WIVES LISTNE UP: I think I accidentally discovered the BLUE-COLLAR LAUNDRY CHEAT CODE. 😂🧺🔧 My daughter’s boyfriend is a blue collar worker AND works on his truck all the time… which means his jeans look like they’ve personally fought an engine. Oil. Grease. Dirt. Grime. ALL OF IT. 😅 So naturally, I took it as a personal challenge and put my cleaning products TO WORK. And y’all… THESE JEANS. 🤯LOOK BRAND NEW, LIKE THEY SHIULD BECAUSE THEY WERE! 😂 This is exactly what I mean when I say I don’t just love these products because they’re “cleaner” or because they show up at my door. THEY ACTUALLY FREAKING WORK. LIKE REALLY WORK! If you’re a blue collar wife, married to a mechanic, farmer, welder, lineman, construction worker, or YOU are the one coming home covered in grease and grime…you already know regular laundry is a different sport at your house. 😂 You don’t need laundry detergent that smells good and hopes for the best. You need the BLUE COLLAR HEAVY ARTILLERY. 💀😂 The stain removers. The degreasers. The laundry boosters. The detergent. ALL. OF. IT. Plus if it can do that to your jeans imagine how clean it can have tough cleaning jobs in your entire house. Because when your clothes are actually WORKED in, your laundry products better know how to work too. JUST SAYING. And apparently mine understood the assignment. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So if you have somebody in your house whose clothes regularly look like they lost a fight with a diesel engine… COME TALK TO ME. 😂 I will absolutely show you exactly what I used because every blue collar household needs this lineup in their laundry room. Really every home needs it period!

CHECK OPENING DAY. 💸❤️ I’m gonna tell y’all a secret… Its one of my FAVORITE days around here, not because of the dollar amounts, but because the STORIES behind them will make your jaw hit the floor & your heart swell in a way you never knew it could. Funny enough, I didn’t even come here for the money. 😂 I came for American-made, cleaner, safer essentials from a company I aligned with. Then my friends Brittany & Alex casually mentioned the company also shares thank you checks with customers. Me: “Okay…what’s the catch?” Them: “Well…you are.” Me: “Well, I’ve ALWAYS been the catch.” 😂 Meaning…I’m either going to take advantage of it or not. Me: “any other catches?” Them: “sometimes people trip on shopping for 35 points monthly.” Me: “LOL, but I’m doing that somewhere else so I just swap here & I get all these perks? Seems like a no brainer..” I AM IN! And here’s the wild part… I owned EIGHT companies when I came here. I was insanely busy & absolutely did NOT “need more money although I’ll take any extra source of income.” I just loved the products, the excitement & a community that talked about faith, mindset, personal responsibility& becoming better. Who knew 4½ years later, the thing I didn’t “need” would become our primary source of income? That alone taught me: DON’T COUNT YOURSELF OUT BECAUSE SOMETHING DOESN’T MAKE SENSE FOR THE VERSION OF YOUR LIFE YOU’RE LIVING RIGHT NOW. Life changes. That’s a guarantee! Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing money as something you simply work for to pay bills. MONEY IS A TOOL. It creates relief. Pays off debt. Buys back time. Creates options. Helps your family. Allows you to bless others. THAT’S why I love Check Opening Day. “This paid our bills.” “This paid for school shopping.” “This brought my husband 🏡 “This went into savings.” “This helped my family through something hard.” THAT’S THE FREAKING CHECK. Not the number. The LIFE attached to the number. So stop counting yourself out because you’re “too busy” or “don’t need it.” Four years from now, your life may look

19 YEARS CLEAN & SOBER. ❤️ 9/12/07 Nineteen years ago, I couldn’t imagine making it to this life. I was broken, completely disconnected from myself, convinced I’d die before I ever had the things I dreamed about, a husband, children, a family, a LIFE. But the truth is: I didn’t want to die. I just didn’t want to keep living the way I was living. I wanted something different so badly. I just had no idea how to get there. And today? I’m alive. I have an incredible relationship with God & my husband. Two incredible children I genuinely don’t believe I would’ve had if I hadn’t gotten sober. Entire chapters of my life only exist because I chose recovery. If you’re new to recovery: YES, it’s worth it. But getting sober wasn’t just about putting down drugs and alcohol. I had to face the shit I’d spent years trying to numb. Because drugs and alcohol are addictive, but so is escaping pain. My biggest advice after 19 years? ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING SHIT. For me, healing also meant realizing I’d spent years trying to fill a God shaped hole with everything but God. And when that changed, my life changed. This year, I got the sweetest reminder of just how much. 😭 Friday night, Justin, Bailey, Landen, and Ty, Bailey’s boyfriend, whom we love to pieces, brought me flowers, my new addiction Bubs 😂, and the most thoughtful card so I’d wake up to all of it today. I feel so freaking loved. 😭❤️ The girl who couldn’t imagine this life now gets to wake up surrounded by people celebrating that she’s still here. THAT is recovery. I’ve officially been clean and sober longer than I ever used. And 19 years is pretty damn cool… But the LIFE is the best part. If you’re thinking, “I don’t want to die. I just can’t keep living like this,” hear me: Not wanting THIS life anymore doesn’t mean you don’t want a life. You may just have no idea how beautiful the one waiting for you can be. I sure as hell didn’t. But after 22 treatment centers something clicked. Thank you, God, for every day I never thought I’d see. Recovery didn’t just save my life. It gave me one. Love you Justin for being my

I was just a High school kid sitting in a classroom, but I can still remember exactly how it felt watching our world change right in front of us. But there’s something else I remember just as vividly: what happened after. For a moment, we weren’t divided into a million different categories. We were Americans. 🇺🇸 We cried together. We prayed together. We showed up for strangers. We loved our neighbors. We stood together. 25 years later, I pray we never forget the lives that were taken, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families who never got to hug their person again… But I also pray we never forget how UNITED we were afterward. We could use a little more of that America today. ❤️🤍💙 Never forget. 9/11/01. 🇺🇸

At some point you have to stop asking, “Why is my life like this?” and start asking, “What am I still allowing?” Same mindset. Same people. Same excuses. Same results. Changing your life will cost you something, but staying stuck will cost you too. And staying the same will usually cost you WAY more. Cut the access. Change the mindset. Stop waiting for permission. Be your own advocate and CHOOSE YOUR HARD, friend. I will forever be grateful for mine and Justin’s coach @jeffery_combs. What he’s taught us is too much to list. We DECIDED what we wanted to achieve that we knew we couldn’t do on our own. We advocated for ourselves, saw our shortcomings and what we needed help with, and decided to invest in a future we wanted. That was Jeffery! One of the greatest decisions of our life. And let me be clear because I always hear this and it needs to be addressed….well I have to wait until I make such and such money in my business before I get a coach who helps with financial mindset and so much more, to help me make more money?! That makes zero sense and in fact that’s not how it works honey. Especially when you will NEVER OUTEARN YOUR MINDSET. That’s like saying I want the business being successful before you’ve invested in the beginning to launch it. For us we wanted to be better all around and invested into his services for the result we wanted. THE TRUTH…we’ve gotten far more than what we even invested. That’s the thing with investments…you really have no idea what will come from the investment but that’s the risk right?! For us we were broken and extremely teachable and ready for him to mold us. So we’ve always found a way to invest in us FIRST! So that everything we want in life can be achieved. So yes I’m saying…you want better mindset, make more money, fix your life, heal your marriage, break ties with sick people & your trauma bonds, & be a better person all around….call Jeff. Jeff wasn’t the point of this post but I needed to give credit where credit was due. We’ve had tons of help along the way to be where we are so my point is there’s nothing wrong with asking for help. We all need help and can all be better…your ego will tell you otherwise.
