Green Smoothies
Weirdly, the stars have aligned this summer and I’ve found a new way to drink more green stuff – green smoothies. EEEKKKK (insert cross-eyed emoji!). But, its really working and Little Man loves to eat one each day as well. I am a terrible breakfast...
Mommy Report | 4 months
I’ll be honest. I really wasn’t interested in writing this one. I wanted to chicken out. We have had a long week. Everything felt perfect until we had our 4 month check up last week. I’ll be honest….it was scary. Our little man is the best....
Lemon Pudding Pound Cake
I can’t be the only one who likes lemon. I feel like once Easter hits, the desserts need to get a little lighter. I mean, I do love a decadent chocolate dessert pretty much any day of the year, but I love this time of year when the fruit, the Cool Whip, and...
Give me a Break Green Smoothie
Well, we had an eventful week around here last week. Mr. McKinney broke his ankle and had surgery. Yep, 2 babies to take care of, but we are making it ok. He has been great about it and of course, is checking in on me to make sure I’m doing alright. After 2...
KCD digital design pieces
Over the last few months, I’ve been looking to expand my selection of items offered in my Etsy store – K Cutie Designs. So I’ve been exploring digital pieces for download. In this stage and season of life, I’m realizing how important it is...
Graduation Reception Menu
For the past 12 or so weeks, Mr. McKinney and a room full of co-workers have been going through a Dale Carrneige Leadership Class. He has really enjoyed it and has enjoyed getting to know members of his team in a new way. My husband is a great Leader, and God not...
Keeping it Clean | April Wingfield guest post
Y’all (because that’s what my guest today would say), I’m so excited to be hosting my friend April today on the blog. She introduces why I invited her over today so I won’t tell it twice, but April was one of my college roommates and one of...
What’s in a Name – JOSHUA
So, I’ve been using a new app called Queepsake. I probably ran across it from one of those Instagram ads – you know the smart kind that targets new moms. But, I love it because it sends me a couple questions each day. At first it was just one, but after...
Gear Up! | 0-3 months
Below is a list of some of the essential items we needed at home with a newborn. Whether these were items we registed for one of our showers or things we picked up on our own when we got home, I think its safe to say all of them were things we could not live...
Mommy Report | 3 months
You guys, these months are flying by. Y’all weren’t kidding with all the warnings. How did another month and a week pass and I haven’t given and update on little man? His personality is really starting to show. Just look at this and see if you...
10 years around the track
One of the great honors I have in life is to serve as a Hero (now Voice) of Hope for the American Cancer Society. This group of survivors and caregivers go through a several month training process and then spend an initial year traveling all over their home state...
Keeping Organized in the Kitchen
I’ve often heard my mom say, “The key to cooking anything on a weeknight is just a little organization.” And believe me, my mom could cook just about anything on a week night including a fancy dinner for 8 (but that’s a different post). Now that I’m in a “mom”...
