Traveling with a Toddler


Hey Friends! 
Hallee and I made it to Minnesota on Thursday and we are having a great time visiting with family. The trip was surprisingly a piece of cake, beside when Hallee got very uncomfortable in her car seat and this mommy had to stop at a rest stop and hold her feet over her head on the changing table. One day she will read that and be super embarrassed but as for now she can’t read so it’s okay. The Mom hack for traveling with a one year old, snacks, toys, and drinks at all times! I went off and forgot my cooler at home so I had to make several gas station stops to make sure the little princess always had fresh milk in her cup. Hallee loves her snacks! We stopped at Culver’s and Hallee had her first experience with cheese curds (unhealthy, I know, don’t judge) and she loved them! What made the trip go by faster for me was listening to a book on Audible. Listening to a book helps me forget how long I have been driving and always makes the trip go by so much faster. The book I chose to listen to on the way to Minnesota was Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. I have lately become obsessed with Rachel Hollis, that book is a book every woman needs to read. I need more book recommendations now, so if you’ve read a good book that you think I would like please tell me in the comments below, I need something to listen to for the way home. Tomorrow we have a big day ahead of us as we are going to the Mall of America and this mama is excited to shop till she drops! Have a wonderful weekend!

Xoxo,

The Struggle is Real

Hello friends, It has been a busy week, and next week is only going to get busier. I thought I would take a second to blog about things going on and what is on my mind. My (what seems like) 100th semester of college started this week and I am already over it. I have to keep on keeping on because I set the goal to GRADUATE in 2019 and by golly that is going to happen. It is a promise I am making to myself right now and I need everyone to help hold me accountable. Because, if you break promises to yourself, you aren’t making promises, your talking ( yes that’s a Rachel Hollis quote, if you knew that, we can be friends.) Hallee has been teething like crazy and along with that comes an awful attitude, but we are finally starting to get over that and she is as sweet as cupcakes once again! Next week, I go back to work, and I am more than ready. I am ready to be a working mama again and am excited get to see my crazy coworkers everyday. With working and school and raising my baby I still

Introduction

Hello friends! I would like to introduce myself, my name is Faith and I have been married to my husband Tj for almost two years and we have one daughter together. I met Tj when he was still in the Marines and was stationed at Fort Leonardwood, we both happened to be at the same place at the right time and have been inseparable ever since. We now live on a farm in Southwest Missouri with our little girl, 2 dogs, 1 pig, and 8 cows. I never thought that I would ever end up living on a farm but here I am, loving every single minute of it. I created this blog mainly to fill my time while I am on summer vacation from my job at Head Start, but maybe, just maybe, someone will get some entertainment out of it. I look forward to sharing more of my life with you! Xoxo, Faith Follow me on Instagram!

Summer!

What in the world have I done all summer? I go back to work in less than a month and I cannot believe how fast this summer has flown by, but then again... it always does. Hallee and I have done quite a bit of traveling just the two of us, unfortunately my husband was not able to come with us on our adventures this summer. Our first adventure was to St. Louis with my friends Sue and Shannon. I have been friends with Shannon since I was two years old and Sue is her Mother. She was my next door neighbor when I lived in Wisconsin and our St. Louis Adventure was the first time Sue and Shannon got to meet baby Hallee! While in St. Louis we dined on The Hill, went to the St. Louis Zoo, visited the St. Louis Galleria, took photos with the Arch, and visited Ballpark Village. We all had a ton of fun and we cannot wait to be reunited with them again soon!  Two days after we arrived home from St. Louis we took off to visit my friend Ali who lives near Wichita, Kansas for her little boy, Zander’
