Well folks, its officially been over ONE week with our Zion Thomas and I couldn’t be more in love. If you stopped in to check out my nursery reveal [HERE] or if you are a follower of mine on Instagram [HERE] then you probably already know a little bit about our traumatic experience with Zion’s birth. I would love to tell the birth story someday, and I suspect that day will come sooner than later but I want to thank so many of you that have reached out offering words of encouragement and sympathies.

PRAIRIE GARDENS and JEFFREY ALANS of Central Illinois & Indiana (Locations: Peoria, Normal, Springfield, and Terre Haute, Indiana), my favorite boutique is having a huge BOGO sale this upcoming weekend (Nov. 2-4) and all of you Central Illinoisan/Indianian folks need to check it out!

I felt the more I did, the more I accomplished and the more I accomplished the more I became. Every time an opportunity arose I saw it as a way for me to establish myself that much more. And it didn’t matter how many babies I had during that time, I still allowed that lie that told me I was never enough to run my life. 

But here’s the truth friends…influence is powerful, while popularity is common. So are we really being “influencers” if we’re all following what’s most common, what’s most popular?

With Easter right around the corner I thought I would share one of my recent fashion finds from one of my favorite shops. If you are a local to Champaign then you know that Prairie Gardens is one of the most prestigious and notorious home and gardening shops in the area. But what a lot of people don't know is that it's recently acquired a beautiful clothing boutique as well.
