🪕 Check out this stringed instrument! You don't gotta be any good to play it either, take me for example! 🤣 It was so fun getting to try out some boogie boxes at Craft-Tucky, a ✨ NEW ✨ LOCAL VENDOR SHOP in Nicholasville, KY! They have 1 stringed, 2 stringed, and even 3, stringed boogie boxes! The kicker? They're made from cigar boxes! Meaning they were made from recycled/reused material making it better for the Earth, and our soul to purchase & play with. Get one to collect, get one to have fun, get one to gift to someone, it don't matter much what you do with it - just come check one out soon! Craft-Tucky will be opening later in December, so follow their page on Facebook for updates and to not miss their grand opening that will be here soon - They do have an event tomorrow though where you can take photos with Santa! Blog Post will be shared today at 4:30 pm EST. Click link in bio to subscribe to the blog so you don't miss when I drop news like this! 🎄👀

So proud of our son Raiden. He qualifies for Nationals in NC after placing Kentucky Duke at the Kentucky Pageants Festivals State Pageant! 👑

FELLOW BUSINESSES! -> We will be doing fundraising soon to get him there to honor his place and represent Kentucky! With that being said, I'm looking for places that will allow us to place a fundraising jar, as well as businesses that would love to sponsor their local pageant winner that is representing Nicholasville in NC in 2025! I'll have more information soon but if you're a business owner and want to sponsor Raiden for his spot at Nationals, I'll have a dedicated spot on the HOMEPAGE of my blog site that gets 5,000+ local monthly readers and has over 10k subscribers where we will be showing YOUR BUSINESS as a sponsor! Message me for more info! ‼️

Thank y'all so much for supporting our little man and his pageantry endeavors. We appreciate everyone. 🫶🏼

Please pray for my husband and our family. My grandfather in law passed away earlier this morning. He was a great man with a big heart and a good sense of humour. We used to always eat cracker barrel or The Cottage Cafe with Roy Lamb on Thursday evenings. I also remember him coming up while we were fishing at his pond one day and he told my husband, Jake, that he was going to show him how to fish. He casted his line with such grace and determination. I'm so blessed he got to meet our son, his great grandson, Raiden James Lee. Raiden's middle name Lee comes from many of the men in his life, but also it comes from Roy's name, Leroy. ❤️ Papaw Roy will be dearly missed. We love you papaw.

Good morning! I wanted to share some more of these photos done by because she is so amazing, and because I love this gallery so much. I love my son so much. My husband, my whole family so much. I know many may be tired of me sharing my mom-moments but motherhood is now a part of my identity. I can't help but share! I'm just so proud of the family me and my husband have created. I'm just so blessed to have all of you all still here, to support me through this journey! I have had a few people unfollow or message me telling me that now that I'm a mom they don't see me making content around Kentucky, and I promise you, I'm not neglecting blogging! I just needed some time to finish my degree, and to bond with my new baby. But I'm back, and there will be new blogs Kentucky focused here soon! So thank you to those who have and are sticking around! Writing is my passion, and marketing products and local businesses are my expertise and favourite things to do with my writing. 🙏🏼📸👏🏼

“In this way, every birth is a natural birth: each of us is part of nature, not separate from it, and nature is always stunning in its variety. Your birth, then, is part of the natural world, however it unfolds.”- Lauralyn Curtis

8 lbs, 3 ounces Feb 29 2024 5:38 pm - my little leapling hopped his way on Earth 🐸

Happy leap day! Well, that was a few days ago - which was the day Raiden entered this world. To be honest, it was a little traumatic. But in the end, every little mishap and unfortunate event led us to our miracle, and made it all worth it. He brings smiles to faces, and is already just so adorable. My plan to go natural did not happen, I made it to 7 cm and my blood pressure spiked too high and they suggested an epidural and so I did it and then it slowed labor and my blood pressure dropped too low and baby's heart rate started to act "funky" so we then had to do a C-section. Good thing anyway cause his head takes after his daddy 🤭 But he is so precious.. 8 pounds, 3 ounces. Born/evicted on February 29 at 5:38pm. He was 19 inches long exact. Mommy and daddy are tired, but so so blessed. We cannot wait to teach him how to be the best version of himself, and now to be a good person. I know in my heart he will help change the world. I love him so much to pieces. 💙 Welcome to Earth, Raiden James Lee! 🍼

I won't be showing his face often or make content directly about him as I want to protect his privacy as much as I can, but I had to share these photos. Labor is hard! No matter how someone chooses or ends up having to give birth. I had plans for an all natural birth - my body c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'t̶ d̶o̶ i̶t̶ - my body decided there was a better way for him to come into this world and I'm just over the moon that me and him are both healthy , at home now, and thriving. 🙌🏼
