Happiest of Birthdays to my best friend. We may be thousands of miles apart, we don't even talk every day, but you are always there when I need you to give an honest opinion and sound advice. You also are the goofiest person who never fails to make me laugh and always brings out the kid in me. I love you. You are amazing and talented in so many ways. . . #HappyBirthday #bff @rgonzalezphotography #loveyou #toofaraway #vatoaz #gottaseeyousoon

Truth be told... I haven't taken before pictures of myself in a while. I thought things were going great. Then, something happened. I got sick, it laster for a long time (weeks) and then I let that become my excuse. Then my anxiety started increasing, and then the darkness of depression was seeping in. I was heading for a not so good place, and I couldn't stop. I didn't want to be like that. To feel like that. . . And then there I was. Like I was in a dark room with no windows. Shadows of where I want to be danced in my mind. I could see myself, my happy self, but I was stuck. Just standing there. Alone. Watching the world go by merrily. . . Someone asked me what I was feeling. And I said.. like a bunch of scribbles in my head. It's just all jumbled up. . . Well, I'm feeling like I'm coming out of the darkness. But the anxiety is still there. The internal stress from my fear of failing (in so many aspects of my life) is still there. And while some people can take that and use it as motivation, it does not work that way for me. If I don't maintain control of it, it overwhelms me. . . So here I am. Starting TOMORROW I am going to put serious effort in me. I took these photos because I look AWFUL. I look so horrible and I hate it and I want to change it. I HAVE to change it. . . #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #aprilchallengegroup #forcusonme #loveyourself #iloveme #before #goodbyephotos #losethebelly #behealthy #healthymama

Poor sick girl. She woke up so excited to go see Santa at #BassPro Then her tummy turned sour. And so here we are. She feels so bad because this is a tradition. #sickgirl #bellabella #disappointedkids

#tbt The picture on the left is when I bought this dress in August. I liked it, but haven't worn it. Until today. The picture on the right is today. I've really fallen away from all the good habits I created. I have allowed schedules, holidays and family sicknesses be my excuses. I am still trying to eat healthier and drinking my shakes daily, but it's the exercise that I've let slide. So when I put this dress on today.. I felt amazing. And energized. And motivated! Imagine if I had been more consistent with my workouts? Now.. to get through the holidays and get back on track. #icandothis #backontrack #joinme #myjourney #fitjourney #fitmama #strongereveryday #shakeology #youcandoittoo #doittogether #accountability #butcookies #gonnaeatthemanyway

#tfw you are digging through a basket of laundry before you get a shower🚿 and the power goes out. And your phone is no where near you. Good thing I know my house and where everything is. The whole neighborhood is pitch black! Thankful this happened BEFORE I got in the shower!🚿 Hoping it comes back on quickly! . . #poweroutage #belmontestates #svec #candlelight #theisleco #superquiet #kindacreepy #sorryifistink #illuseextradeodorant (at Belmont Estates, Virginia)

Soo.. I poured myself a second cup of coffee. In a second coffee cup. #notenoughcoffee #mombrain #toomuchcoffee

I wear these leggings because they are so comfy. And also, they make me think of my hubby, because he thinks they are hideous. #notlularoe #socomfy #favoriteleggings #pumpkincoffee #favoritemug
