I started a skin routine before bed / after shower & same for morning. When my life becomes chaos; something as simple as a skin routine grounds me. Plus, I’m almost 40. Probably needed a skin routine a few years ago. A win win!! #thisis30something #lifeisweird https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBeKC2On9k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tomorrow is my first born's birthday.some things she was given naturally like her strong will..she was a 42 weeker stubborn about coming into the world so she decided after a few false alarms to be induced at 42 weeks. I look at this picture taken at the hospital in Texas and smile. So much unfiltered love between a mother and her daughter. Back then there was no Instagram or FB to document The Bump, no pregnancy photo shoots, or ways to show what your Louis Vuitton hospital bag had in it, no nursery reveal, no baby moons with cute last pic of 2 pictures and no baby gender reveal. True story back then ultrasounds were fairly new and certainly no 4D anything so after my ultrasound I said girl or boy Dr said pretty sure it’s a boy. So we had the nursery decorated in blue. We had no name picked for a girl because a boy ( he would make his grand entrance 4 years later and would be named George Richard Archer,111 or Trey ) for his father and grandfather. We had discussed girl names early on but I didn’t worry because she was thought to be a he. Angela you make me so proud as a mother to Jaylan and your determination and strength these past few years have been really tough but you pushed through.Let the birthday celebration continue...Happy early Birthday princess.... enjoy another trip around the sun. #thisis30something #chanelalways #motherfirst #coolmom #beauty #strength #proud #fashiononashoestring https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3IqyirK7c/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meal prep has changed my life (for the better). I spend an hour or two a week cooking 1 to 2 meals. Put into bowls. Ready for Kyle & I’s busy week. This week is chicken taco bowls. Thank the bestie for the recipe that I edited for our taste! #adulting #mealprep #crockpotmeals #thisis30something (at Hadley, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZrSZcpfXT4MTkAMeLKx85mbwyYhcXX1jiZXw0/?igshid=1n9mgfwqeek3l
