Love Your Booty: My Experience With Velashape

April 30, 2019 By Kari Leave a Comment

My booty and I have been on quite the journey together. I've learned to love my lady lumps, and recently treated my behind to a little pick-me-up! Here's my experience with Velashape. Someone emailed me anonymously in high school to tell me, "You have a fat ass." Teenagers . . .

My Sublime Skin Contouring Experience

July 3, 2017 By Kari 25 Comments

I love my life. I'll turn 36 later this month, and I can honestly say I'd never want to go back to my 20s or even my early 30s. I love getting older, but I'm not so much a fan of looking older. Now more than ever before, I'm focused on my personal health, the health of my . . .

My Breastfeeding Confessions

April 25, 2017 By Kari 13 Comments

Have you experienced challenges while breastfeeding? I only know a handful of moms who had a smooth-sailing experience. Whether breastfeeding didn't work for you at all, or you experienced even one incident of a blocked duct (I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone), it seems . . .

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
