Text Me Here!!! Here's Elisabeth, yes, it's with an 'S' not a 'Z'! (: She's the little spit fire of the group and exactly the person you want in your corner.

Text Me Here!!! Not sure who is needing to hear this episode...I'm hoping not too many...because it's a bit of a sensitive topic :/ Not going to lie, I had the idea of this episode thrown to the back of my head and wasn't planning to bring it up at all, and apparently that is not the case. Just please know, a lot of prayer was said before, during and after this episode. Divorce is n...

Text Me Here!!! The Merrill Powerhouse continues! I got to sit down withYSA Stake President, David Merrill and go over not only his life but also some of life's lessons that he's learned along the way.  David is a very open and real person and he's the exact same way when it comes to talking about God and life.

Text Me Here!!! What do you have when you put a red head and crossfit together? Emily Merrill, that's what! Emily and I served together in New Zealand, but we only served around each other never with each other. But somehow we always heard about each other or briefly saw each other at zone conferences, it wasn't until after a mission reunion that we became "social media friends&quot...

(And get this, she isn't the only September, I know (; ) Baby Week is coming to a close, and I'm so thrilled to finish it off with today's episode. September is one of my dearest friends, and while I was going through my NICU experience with Beau, she was going through her own, with h...

Text Me Here!!! Grab the tissues!  Mikell and I sat down to talk about all things placenta abruptions, particularly her story. When I had my abruption with Beau, the only person who I was able to reach out to and who knew exactly what I was going through was Mikell. She had recently gone through an abruption 2 months before me and truly was heavensent during that time. A lot of this story though,...

Text Me Here!!! Here's the backstory... I've realized I've referred a lot to Beau's entrance into this world, but haven't explained fully how Beau entered Earthside, so here it is! Also I explain my service project that I'm putting together with the help of some of my family and friends, to go to something that I found myself in, when I was in the hospital, and becaus...

Text Me Here!!! Sleep training. Those two words can cause so much anxiety, so much backlash, so much EVERYTHING.  So I'm going to instead talk about building a Sleep Routine.

Text Me Here!!! To finish off our Homeschool week, I thought the best way to do so would be to sit down with my little sister, Alli.  She is 11 years old, homeschooled, and an entrepreneur! Sit with us as we dive in to what homeschooling looks like today with someone who is living it and after this hour, you'll be shocked when you realize, kids who are homeschooled are normal and I think Alli...

Text Me Here!!! Whenever I heard someone was homeschooled, my first reaction was, "Why do you parents not love you?" Anyone who has homeschooled or been homeschooled can look at that statement and think, that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of why homeschooling is in our lives. Over the years, I've become so interested in exactly what homeschooling is and I've noticed a lot of my close f...

Text Me Here!!! Guess who's back? And not just on the podcast, but back on Social Media! I've been on a Social Media Detox for 100 days to have what I called an Intentional Summer and I believe I did just that. Would I recommend a social media detox? Yes.  Would I recommend one for 100 days? Double yes. And I'll tell you exactly why! *** Cornbread recipe: https://www.sixsistersstuff...

Text Me Here!!! As we get ready to head into football season, I figured what better way to start things up then to talk about my favorite football topic: Long Snapping!  Or should I  say, talk to my favorite Long Snapper (;  Trust me when I say this episode, is a good one, IT'S A GOOD ONE! But also trust me when I say, after hearing this episode, you aren't going to watch football the sa...

Text Me Here!!! Grab some flour because Aunt Nat is in town and we are making bread! I will forever cherish this day and episode! I've been trying to find some time to go and visit my Aunt Natalie in good ol' Parhump, NV.
