Does this photo even need a caption?

Her smile is my everything!

Providing for her, spending time with her, and ensuring her future are my motivation.
Being a single mom is not easy, but it is WORTH it! Every smile, hug, giggle, and "I love you," reminds me why I keep pushing on.

In honor of that, may I present to you, a poem about Rejuvenique:

Some even call it a unicorn oil

Scalp treatment
Dry skin
Sunburns
Brighten tattoos
Cuticles
Soothe razor burn

Wrinkles
And the list goes on...

What does family mean to you?

For me, it is love, laughter, support, friendship, and so much more.

My family has been through a lot but we are still standing because we have Jesus and we have each other.

💐 Happy Mother's Day 💐 To the world's great

💐 Happy Mother's Day 💐

To the world's greatest mom, the perfect example of how to raise daughters, the woman who has always loved and supported me matter what. I love you, Mom! Thank you for everything you do for us.

Thank you to the little girl that made me a mom. I can only hope to learn from what my mom taught me and raise you to love Jesus, care for others, and always do your best.

To all of the moms out there...those that have carried a baby, those that have lost a child, those that are struggling to become a mother, those that care for a child as your own, those that chose life for your child but could not care for them, and everyone in between...I wish you a Happy Mother's Day. May you be treated as a queen today and everyday!

🎂🌹 Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful prince

🎂🌹 Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful princess!🌹🎂

Last night, my daughter gave me one last 5-year-old hug. Then this morning, I got a great, big, 6-year-old squeezy hug.

She was a little shocked to discover that her clothes from "way back" when she was 5 still fit today. She decided that maybe her body actually SHRANK when she turned 6.

Please help me wish her a very special day!!

💗💞 I love you, my sweet, smart, beautiful, caring, grown-up 6-year-old...who will ALWAYS be my baby. 💗💞

Is #waybackwednesday a thing?

If not, it is today!

I'm throwing it back to when my beautiful baby girl was born and when she turned one. Look how much she changed in just that one year!

Now take a look at any of my recent photos and see how different she looks as she turns 6 tomorrow! 😭

How did we get to 2021? Wasn't it just 2015 yesterday?

How do you feel as your kids grow up?

Who else can't resist watching the sunset with a sense of awe?
🌅 🌇 🌄 🌄 🌇 🌅

It's been a while since I introduced myself, so I thought, "why not now?"

Hi!! I am Amy.

I am a single mom from Indiana to one amazing (almost) 6-year-old daughter. She fills my days with love, laughter, and some really frustrating moments.

I am really lucky to have my mom and my sister living with me. They are such a blessing to me. They help with my daughter, my sister cooks, and they (along with my cousin) are my best friends.

I work in higher education, got my MS in Psychology in 2020, AND I recently launched my plant-based, cruelty-free, vegan hair and skincare business.

Here are some things you can expect to see on my page:
🌅 Jesus ✝️
🌇 Mom life (including my family and cats)
🌄 My blog: food, crafts, the everyday struggles of being a not-so-perfect mom
🌅 Hair, skin, and wellness: TOXIN-FREE living!
🌇 DISNEY! 🙌

🥳 🎉 🎁 🎂

Yesterday we had my daughter's 6th birthday party (actual birthday: April 29).

I am beyond blessed to have such an amazing, beautiful, smart, and kind little girl to call mine.

I pray daily for Jesus to protect her and fill her heart...and I know that He does. She already asks about baptism, which is just incredible. I can only imagine the celebration Jesus has with my dad and my brother-in-law when she says that. 💗

Thank you to my family for celebrating with us!

Did you know that each Earth Day has a theme?

The theme for 2021 is "Restore Our Earth."

In honor of Earth Day, I wrote a blog explaining a little about this year's theme.

*BONUS*
I created some fun printables for the kiddos so that they can celebrate too!!

🌹 A single rose can be my garden… a single fr

🌹 A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world. – Leo Buscaglia 🌹

This quote is all about perspective. Sometimes we forget to be grateful for what we have. If we only have 1 rose, perhaps we are disappointed that we don't have a whole dozen. Then we don't cherish that rose and tend to it like we should.

The same can be said about friendship, relationships, or even our relationship with God. We don't cherish what we have, we only think about what we don't have. Then we stop cultivating it and soon are left with nothing but thorns.

How will you tend to your roses this week?

How often do you pamper yourself?

Today is #maskmonday which means it is time to give your face the attention it needs and deserves.

Both of these masks are perfect for just that.

Berry Refined Scrub: Targets dullness, uneven skintone, and large pores. Exfoliates.

Cold Charcoal Mask: Ideal for oily skin. Targets oil, shine, pores, and dead skin cells.

If you'd like to try one of these or any of the masks that we offer, let me know! I would love to help you pamper yourself!

Did you know that there is a day celebrating animal crackers??

Well, there is and that day is today!

In honor of this special holiday, I put together 2 different healthy chocolate dip recipes to use with these crunchy cookies.

One dip has Greek yogurt and the other uses light whipped cream.

How can my daughter's kindergarten year be so clos

How can my daughter's kindergarten year be so close to over?

At the end of this month, I will have a 6-year-old and in June, I will have a First Grader!

While this year has certainly been unusual, it has been such a year of growth for my girl. She got to experience virtual and in person school. She has an amazing teacher. She made (and continues to make) new friends. She is learning to READ and is far advanced in math.

Most of all, she has gained confidence.
While some parents may have been disappointed in a photo with a mask, I celebrate it.
Masks have given my daughter, who suffers from anxiety and sensory processing disorder, the confidence to show her personality, make friends, and learn!

I canNOT wait to see what all is in store for this beautiful, smart, kind, and talented princess.

🎲 It’s #nationalscrabbleday 🃏

I'm sad to report that I don't have any photos of us playing Scrabble even though I love that game! I can't find my board 😭😭

In its place, I am sharing the fun we have playing Catolpoly! Even my cat enjoys the game.
It is a great way for my daughter to learn about money and the need to pay for things. For whatever reason, kids seem to think money grows on trees or that everything is just free. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

*BONUS*
Each card has a fun cat fact on it. We have learned so much about our furry family members with this game.

Check out my Amazon storefront (link in bio) to grab this game for your next family game night. #amazoninfluencer #amazonfinds

Picture this: You are scrolling social media and see a post by your cousin (who happens to be your best friend @noellebayer ) that says she had found the perfect cake for her birthday, if only someone would make it for her. You like to bake and figure...how hard could it really be?

My latest blog post talks about the adventure I had while making this decadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake.

If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you definitely need to try this cake!!

Today is National Pet Day, so I didn't want to miss the chance to show off my fur babies.

Yes, I am that crazy cat lady. I would definitely have more if it weren't for the cost (read: cat food and litter).

The black cat is Figaro and the tabby is Lexi.

Today is Siblings Day and I would challenge anyone to prove that they have a better sister than I do.

My sister is beautiful, strong, supportive, funny, caring, and kind. She is an amazing singer, advocate, minister, shampoo girl, and friend. Life has not always been easy for her, especially this past year, but she is a shining example of what it means to rely on Jesus and the hope He provides.

I love you, Sister!!
