Stocking on staples I’ll need to support my new Stocking on staples I’ll need to support my new glp-1 journey! 🛒🍗 Here’s everything on my grocery list: 

1️⃣ Multivitamin + Omega 3 - this is crucial for making sure I stay healthy and feel my best during treatment. 

2️⃣ Protein - GLP-1 meds can reduce appetite, which often means less protein intake. I’ve learned that protein food sources or powders help preserve lean muscle mass, support immune function, and keep energy up. 

3️⃣ Fiber - helps with digestion, bowel regularity, and blood sugar balance. I’m starting slow with chia seeds (adding this to my protein smoothies!). 

4️⃣ Electrolytes - Since GLP-1 slows digestion and reduces appetite often, it increases risk of dehydration. I grabbed Body Armor FlashIV packets for when my appetite is low and I feel lightheaded or depleted. 

5️⃣ GLP-1 Friendly Foods: eggs, plain Greek yogurt, grilled chicken, peanut butter, frozen berries, apples, granola, and protein bars. 

I’m not trying to change my diet completely, but I am focused on making small, simple, and healthier choices that I can easily maintain. Ultimately, I’m aiming for 20–30g protein per meal while using GLP-1 meds, but if my appetite is low, it becomes protein first, then carbs.

You guys know there’s never a dull moment around You guys know there’s never a dull moment around here and I’m always bringing you along the ride for the fun stuff 🤪 This one’s personal. 

Between marriage, motherhood, and life with a very full house, I’ve learned how easy it is to take care of everyone else and quietly forget yourself. Lately, I’ve been making small, intentional choices to change that, and starting a GLP-1 medication is one of them. 

I gave my husband five kids, it’s time to give ME my body back! Like with everything else, I’ll be sharing this journey honestly, gently, and in my own way. I’m excited, a little nervous, and grateful to be in a place where choosing myself feels possible again.

Here’s to choosing ourselves with a little more grace 🤍

Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is a choice. The most regulated, self-respecting thing you can learn to do when that happens is: 

• stop auditioning for understanding 
• stop overexplaining 
• stop chasing reconciliation
• stop managing other people’s emotions
• stop reopening wounds just to prove you’re “loving” 

Jesus modeled for us that once you’ve shown up honestly, clearly, and with care, the rest isn’t yours to fix.

“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” — Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭

Unfortunately, most of the time, what usually happens next is people may act like nothing happened, or reach out casually without addressing it, or frame the distance as YOU pulling away.

But let the truth stand on its own. Let your nervous system settle. Go live your life. Because there’s a quiet strength in not chasing, not correcting, not proving. 

Here’s three scriptures that’s encouraged me:

1️⃣ “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” — Proverbs 18:2

2️⃣ “If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18-19‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” — Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

Bottom line, let people choose you…or not. Happy Monday Yall ❤️

Even with everything going on right now in politics. In the news. In the economy. In our neighborhoods. In LIFE.

Here are some scriptures getting me through: 

1️⃣ “Be still, and know that I am God!”
‭‭— Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭‬‬

2️⃣ “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” — Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you…” — Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ ‭

4️⃣ “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” — Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭

5️⃣ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” — Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭‬‬

6️⃣ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” — Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

7️⃣ “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” — Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Feel free to take what you need. Happy Wednesday yall ❤️

Our Bedroom Christmas Decor: Simple Ideas On A Budget!

This year, I decided to put up a Christmas tree in our bedroom. I am a homebody and spend a lot of time here so I wanted to make it look Christmassy for the holiday season! 

It’s true that I am a neutral-decor kind of girl, but not when it comes to Christmas. 

I’ve always loved traditional Christmas colors — red and green really does it for me! You’ll see it in my kitchen and a little of it in our bedroom.

The best thing about having a neutral home is that I can decorate for every holiday or season. I tried to keep these bedroom Christmas ideas as simple as possible for you today, and I decorated everything on a budget, so let the tour begin!

BEDROOM CHRISTMAS IDEAS

On our bed, I have white sheets, a white quilt, a white duvet with beige throw pillow covers, and a beige waffle blanket. I added a red Christmas lumber pillow and BOOM!

Merry Lumber Pillow (similar) | Duvet Cover | Pom-Pom Pillow Covers | Beige Waffle Blanket

That pop of red was all I needed to make it feel like Christmas! Then I added pre-lit artificial garland to drape over top of our headboard which made it come together beautifully. 

It’s simple. It’s merry. It’s bright!

My bedside table was the perfect place to add a Christmas plant. I love how these faux bright red berries tie together the red lumber pillow in a simple, subtle way.

I am soooo obsessed with the Threshold brand at Target and their faux plants, but you could use a Christmas arrangement of fresh flowers or a small poinsettia in your bedroom too!

Cheesecake anyone?! We washed it down with a Merry Mocktail and it was delicious!

DRESSER 

The top of my dresser was looking a little sad so I added a $5 Walmart Christmas sign and a festive little teddy bear to sit on my jewelry box. If you need a jewelry tree stand, you can grab mine here.

Jewelry Tree Stand

Across the way, you’ll see another shelf in the background. This is where I keep my designer collection. I just put a mini white Christmas tree on top wrapped with a faux snow blanket that I got from Dollar Tree for $1.25 a piece! 

SITTING AREA

I have to say that when we built this house I was so excited to have this big of a bedroom. It’s probably the real reason I never leave this space! 😂

Beige Chairs | Pillow Covers | Red Fleece Blanket | Bed Tray | Beige Waffle Blanket

Even our tv on the wall has a beautiful Christmas background! I simply searched on YouTube and there are tons!!! Some video backgrounds even play non-stop Christmas music. 

The chairs and 20×20 pillow inserts are from IKEA, but I put these buffalo checkered pillow covers on them. I love how the black and white break up all the red in the room. 

On the side table between the two chairs, I kept the decor simple too!

I used a wagon I found in the Target Dollar Spot section and filled it with some pine cones, added a $3 Dollar Spot Christmas tree (the buffalo pattern matches the throw pillows!), and a Tis The Season scented candle from White Barn. 

End Table | Christmas Slippers

Every time I decorate surfaces in our home, I try to stick to groups of three and incorporate something vertical, horizontal, and sculptural to add dimension without adding more clutter. I always put one object in front of another and arrange it in a triangular shape.  

THE TREE
Holiday Dress | Drop Earrings

For reference, this is a 6ft pre-lit Christmas tree that I purchased back in 2020 to use in our apartment while we were in the process of building this house. 

I decorated it with white, silver, and gold ornaments that I already had. The only new item I purchased for our bedroom tree this year is the red ribbon you see and it’s from Dollar Tree. 

For the tree skirt, I used a knitted throw blanket that I wrapped around to save money! 

I’m glad I didn’t go buy a traditional-looking tree skirt because this throw blanket is definitely giving that cozy bedroom vibe I was looking for. 

Pillow Covers | Pillow Inserts | IKEA Chairs | Full-Length Mirror | Room-Darkening Curtains

I highly recommend everyone put a tree in their bedroom. It doesn’t have to be big or decorated to fill your room with joy! 

I hope our bedroom Christmas ideas inspire you to get in the holiday spirit. I love our Christmas bedroom decor so much!!! I’m going to be so sad after Christmas when I have to take all this down.
