My new favorite snack @popbitties #PopBittiesPartn

My new favorite snack @popbitties #PopBittiesPartner

Since being diagnosed with PCOS, I’ve committed to changing the way that I eat. I’m a snacker, so one of the first things I did was look for healthier options. I stumbled across @popbitties and they are perfect for on the go, as a mid-day work snack or to include in the kids’ lunch.

@popbitties Sweet Potato chips are light and crunchy air-popped chips that are perfect right out of the bag or with your favorite dip. I love that they are made with absolutely no trans fat or artificial ingredients and that they are:

🌱Vegan
🌱Corn free
🌱Non-GMO
🌱Gluten-free
🌱Peanut and tree nut free

The perfect snack for the whole family — both Jaxon and Jade loved them too!

Visit popbitties.com/shop and use code “KAYLA15OFF” to try them today.

Pampering yourself should be mandatory As moms,

Pampering yourself should be mandatory

As moms, we’re oftentimes so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves too. It’s so important that we prioritize doing so because the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup” is true.

Last Friday, I had a half day at work, so I gave myself a Mom’s Day Out. I treated myself to a few of my favorite services including a Custom V/O Signature Facial at @viomedspajaxfl, which included:

💕Dermaplane
💕“Event Glow” Chemical Peel
💕Skin Warrior Ageless Jelly Mask
💕LED Therapy

I literally walked out glowing!!

Have you heard? @viomedspajaxfl recently expanded and have a new location in the Tamaya area. They are having their official grand opening Wednesday, June 22nd, so be sure to follow @viomedspajaxfl for updates.

For a relaxing experience like no other, visit @viomedspajaxfl and mention code “VIOKAYLA” and receive 15% off your service.

Comment below if you can use a facial.

For the culture 💅🏾

I had an impromptu Mom’s Day Out today, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I had a half day at work and booked as many services as I could I fit in so I could enjoy a day out, kid and husband-free.

First, I did a Brazilian wax at @brazilswaxing and then I headed over to @viomedspajaxfl for a facial (more on this later). Last, but not least, I got #JuneteenthNails at @ledreamjax. I 1000% recommend this nail salon if you’re in the Jax area. It’s super cute and worth the 45-minute drive.

This day was so needed.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been so busy with the kids, and I’ve rarely made time for myself. I had a nail appt last week, and I was running late so I had to reschedule. I legit cried and then grabbed a milkshake from Steak N Shake. Don’t judge.

I know it’s Father’s Day weekend, but mama, this is your permission to do something nice for yourself this weekend whether that’s grabbing your favorite Starbucks drink, sleeping in, doing a yoga class, or whatever your heart desire. Just do something for you. You deserve it!

Right where I’m meant to be 🤎

Life wouldn’t be the same without these two.

They keep me on my toes. They push me beyond my limit. They keep me grounded.

My world. My reason. My why.

Each season of motherhood may be hard, yet it’s so beautiful in its own way.

I’ll enjoy, and may struggle, through these wild little years, but I happily look forward to watching them continue to grow older through childhood to teenage years and long into adulthood.

Babies may not keep, but I hope their bond lasts a lifetime.

A little Jaxon update:

A few of you have asked how Jaxon is doing since it’s been awhile since I’ve posted him, and he’s doing awesome. He’s a typically toddler who’s on the move. On any given day, you can find him climbing on something or flipping off of something else. I can barely get clear pictures of him these days. I’m sure all the #boymoms can relate.

It’s hard to believe that in just four months my baby will be 2. How is this even possible?! I literally just had him.

But he’s loving every moment of daycare, he absolutely loves being outside, and he’s gone from eating everything to being the pickiest eater ever. All he wants is chicken nuggets and blueberries.

We have windows! It’s been two weeks since I l

We have windows!

It’s been two weeks since I last went by the house. I was so excited today to see that we have windows and our roof is up too.

Next up, sheet rock!

We anticipate being in our home by October or November. I’ll be happy as long as we’re in by Christmas. I can just see Christmas trees in every room. Shhhh 🤫 don’t tell my husband lol

I’m trying to be intentional about going by the house at least once a week to take pictures. When we built our last house, we probably only went once or twice during the entire process and have no pictures whatsoever.

I posted a walkthrough in stories, so head there to check it out and to see my favorite part of the house. I’ll probably start a highlight as well.

Summertime = road trip time!

One of the things I love about living in North Florida is all the places we can take mini day trips to. As much as I love traveling and making memories with my family, I try to be conscious of sustainability such using reusable water bottles, supporting local businesses, and taking road trips.

Did you know that how you fuel matters to the planet? Choose planet-friendly biofuels at the pump for cleaner air this summer. By filling up with higher blends of biofuels at the pump, you can not only save money, but reduce your car's emissions to make a simple change for the planet.

Are you hitting the road this summer?

Can I brag on my sweet Jade for a moment She’s

Can I brag on my sweet Jade for a moment

She’s officially a Kindergarten graduate and heading into big school next year. It’s so bittersweet.

As you all know, I’ve done many school tours, and I’m so happy to announce that Jade was accepted into our top school choice.

I’m so relieved that that process is over.

I didn’t realize how hard it would be to find a school that we’d love + would be a great fit for Jade. Prayerfully, we made the right decision.

I’m so proud of her though.

She was the valedictorian of her class, made All As the entire year, and scored above grade level on her entrance exam. The assistant principal bragged on about her Math scores. Kudos to @outschool for helping us end the school year strong!

Being a parent is hard y’all especially when you’re parenting a strong-willed child. Jade knows what she wants, and doesn’t, and gentle parenting is a struggle for us. But, it’s so worth seeing the work and dedication you poor into your child pay off.

My eyes water every time I think about her growing up. I’m excited about this next chapter for her. New environment. New friends. New adventures.

She’s a little social butterfly these days, so I know she’ll do great! I never thought I’d see the day, but she’s grown so much these past few years.

Now time to have tons of fun this summer. I’m hoping to sneak in a few weekend road trips, and one big vacation to Great Wolf Lodge, finally.

Do you have any fun trips planned?

Hello June!

It’s hard to believe that we’re already in month six of the year. I’m glad though because May wore me out.

We had Jade’s dance recital, her kindergarten graduation, and we moved. We also managed to sneak in a trip to Vegas in the midst of it all.

It’s safe to say that I’m tired. I honestly don’t know how I’m still standing. My body is practically begging me for rest now though, and I plan to prioritize that this month even though I want to do a few mini weekend trips now that summer is here.

Do you have anything fun planned for the summer? Jade’s doing her first summer camp and so far she likes it.
