Looking to add a good little extra dose of protein Looking to add a good little extra dose of protein to your day? This smoothie is my favorite afternoon pick-me-up! It is delicious! I make it often and wanted to share. Lots of protein, and it’s made extra great by the new @nutpods vanilla non dairy creamer! 

I don’t have much of an exact recipe… I usually just eyeball! 

• vanilla nutpods creamer
• frozen banana
• Greek yogurt
• a scoop of paleo valley protein powder
• cinnamon 
• ice

Blend and enjoy! 🤩
Comment SMOOTHIE for a link sent to your DMs of my favorite things used here!
Happy TEN YEARS to Madison Marketplace! I love thi Happy TEN YEARS to Madison Marketplace! I love this local little gem with all my heart, and I’m so happy to help them celebrate their tenth year! What better way to celebrate with them than to shop!? Here are 10 things (okay, maybe 11 things 😆) that caught my eye when I was in there earlier this week. What catches YOUR eye?! 

Also!!! If you are around this Saturday, they are having a party! You should absolutely stop by! 🥳
We talked about the prayer Jesus prayed for his di We talked about the prayer Jesus prayed for his disciples (who were flawed humans just like us!) in John 17:6-26 in church on Sunday and I loved it!! Mark, who led on Sunday, suggested we pray for those we hold close the same way Jesus prayed for those He held close! 

I encourage you to check out the passage in John and pray this for your kids/spouse/whoever!

• Father, keep them in your name. Keep them one with you.
• Give them joy in holding close to the truth and anchoring in it!
• Keep them from the evil one. He wants them to believe lies. Guard them from the doubt and lies!
• Sanctiy them. If it’s your will to leave them in whatever mess they’re in, set them apart for your purpose! 

May we rest and anchor in Your truth, dear Lord! ⚓️💛

Amen 🥰

((Also, @joshwoodwardphoto, still love this pic you got of us!))
Whilst in Columbia, MS for softball this past week Whilst in Columbia, MS for softball this past weekend, we stumbled upon the BEST little burger place called R House! According to the signs on their wall, these burgers win awards… and we agree that they well deserve every award! Cute & homey atmosphere, very kind staff, and excellent food! Will for sure go back next time we are that way! 🍔
Closed out another wonderful season of @ms_yankees Closed out another wonderful season of @ms_yankees baseball this weekend! We love this team (parents and siblings included) and these coaches SO much!! ⚾️ 

The thing I love about this team is that they live life together outside of baseball. They adore one another 🤍 which has given us as parents the opportunity to get to know their parents and make new and incredible friendships! They see each other minimum of twice a week but are always plotting on how to see more of each other. 😆 It makes my heart smile!! They have something really special 🥰

We are glad for a summer break and are excited to get back at it in the fall! ⚾️ 🌟
