Yesterday vs 14 months ago! Lil got her braces on Yesterday vs 14 months ago! Lil got her braces on in April 2025 to straighten up those slightly crazy teeth that I accidentally passed down to her 😆 and look at them now!!! Thank you sweet @lcsandifer and the @sandiferorthodontics fam for taking such great care of my girl and her smile! We could not recommend Sandifer Ortho in @highlandvillagejxn any more highly! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

And shout out to @coachscreamery_livingston where she wanted to get her very first post-braces treat! Her moose tracks milkshake hit the spot 🤩
Birthday dinners with these precious friends throu Birthday dinners with these precious friends throughout the year every year for, what, two decades now (?😆) have always been and will continue to always be such a highlight for me. Where would I be without these gals? We love great food and drinks almost as much as we love each other!! 🥰 Happy 40th to our @clairewinchester & @rachel2cooley!! 

Also, if you don’t already know… the dip trio at @eatlapresa (particularly THE SALSA) is basically the best appetizer on any menu in the Jackson area. And the light, crispy, salty tortilla chips that come with… 🤤 Just go try it/them if you haven’t already! 🤩

Our weekly summer bingo is going mostly good over Our weekly summer bingo is going mostly good over here! Week one is complete and week two has begun! I’ve had a handful of questions about exactly what I’m including on these, so figured I’d share if interested!

Each week, the tasks change up a little bit. The kids get paid per bingo. Some squares are silly, some are hard, some require patience, some help me out, and hopefully all will help make the kids more well-rounded individuals! 

I asked the kids what they liked most last week, what they liked least, and what they would like to see on a future bingo card. We are trying to keep things exciting, but some children are better motivated by this than others 🤪

Hope your summer is going great so far!! 🫶 ☀️
We got our girl @rachel2cooley celebrated good!!! We got our girl @rachel2cooley celebrated good!!! Happy 40th fiesta to this fun forever friend!! We love you so much!!
Oh my word. I loved this book!! Slow at times but Oh my word. I loved this book!! Slow at times but worth reading until the very last sentence. Feeling very inspired by the life of a man named Theo! 

Theo Of Golden by Allen Levi 🪶✨

I’m already casting a movie in my head (which would not live up to this book bc what movie does? But I’ll watch it anyway 😄) and I’m kinda thinking… Tom Hanks?
Just stumbled across these pics from an event I go Just stumbled across these pics from an event I got to do three years three with @mkdeckerdesigns and @carmckie with @bellini.blooms and they just feel like SUMMER! 

@bellini.blooms led a flower crown workshop at this particular event, and the ombré candy & cupcake table with @sweetnsavicakes treats was straight from a dream! The best part was that this event (and the others that we did similar to this) called The Creative Exchange was a celebration of local creators and artists and beautifyers. I so wish we could get another one together soon, but I honestly don’t know where we found the energy to do the ones we did back then! 😅😆 

Maybe someday soon we can pick these back up. Til then, I’ll just enjoy the photos! 🥰🥰 I sure do love our local community of fabulous gals who make our part of the state extraordinarily special!
Day one of our weekly summer bingo cards* is off t Day one of our weekly summer bingo cards* is off to a hilarious start! 🤣 Bless these babies and their special dance moves 😅🤣 I might have to put this task on next week’s bingo cards three or four times 😆

*trying something new this summer where we give the kids 25 tasks each per week. Some are silly, some are challenging, some are routine. For each bingo they get, they earn $. For a blackout they earn $$! Stay tuned 🤪
