True true… we LOVE YOU. You’re wild, fearless, True true… we LOVE YOU. You’re wild, fearless, intense, oh so sweet, and the absolute apple of my eye. I adore you, buddy boy. You are my one and only True Buddy, True Love, True Man.
Happy birthday to our miracle boy! Happy birthday to our miracle boy!

Nearly seven years ago, I had a new baby and an it Nearly seven years ago, I had a new baby and an itch in my soul to go out and make something on my own. I wanted MORE time with my new baby, but as my husband always reminds me, I have always had a heart and passion for working, too. Being the daughter of an entrepreneur, I had seen the flexibility it afforded my dad, and I wanted a piece of that, too, as I looked at what my life as a mom of littles would look like. 
.
.
I had always heard about people who made a living doing “one of those” companies - direct sales - and in total honesty I NEVER judged, I actually always wanted a piece of what they had but never thought it would be possible for me, never found a brand I could align with in that way. Until I found Beautycounter. 
.
.
I’m not exaggerating when I say working with Beautycounter has changed it all for me. I’ve built an amazing business with some truly stellar teammates, I’ve grown in my confidence, leadership and creativity. I’ve had some REALLY low moments where I’ve questioned it all, and yet today I feel more passionate, thankful and excited than I’ve ever felt before. 
.

If you know what that inkling and itch feels like, if this resonates with you, PLEASE don’t sit by and think this isn’t for you. If it can be for me, then it can be for you, too. If you’re ready to lock arms and do this together, you know where to find me!

I’ve been heavy on the no-heat hairstyling train I’ve been heavy on the no-heat hairstyling train this summer. It’s taken me a while to find my groove but I love how much healthier my hair feels without heat styling or blow drying! One of the tools I’ve been using is the @manelabelhairco - which helps give me curls without heat. There are a lot of wrap videos on their profile but here’s what my hair looks like after using it.

There are days in this season of motherhood when I There are days in this season of motherhood when I feel like my bucket is so empty at the end of the day. When I feel disheveled, exhausted, and sometimes like a shell of my former self. Postpartum is beautiful but it’s hard. Navigating a new family dynamic comes with challenges. Four kids is no joke. 😅 But the little things really are the big things. Make time for you, momma.

Had so much fun throwing a surprise party in honor Had so much fun throwing a surprise party in honor of a BIG birthday for my momma! We also survived our first overnight (two night) work trip that dad went on while I manned the fort solo with four kids. Successful start to the week if I do say so!
The Hofmeyer Four. If you’ve ever wondered what The Hofmeyer Four. If you’ve ever wondered what the tipping point is for having it all together, trying to maintain a business, a home, and being a sane, happy and present mom, well my answer would be… four kids. Four is the tipping point. 
.

While I never thought of myself as a perfectionist, I’m seeing more and more how deeply ingrained and often detrimental my own standards are for living the life I’m capable of living and that is right in front of me. Slowly, I’m working on loosening up my grip on a perfectly clean house or orderly and quiet children 😂😅 I’m starting to cut when and where I can, prioritize what’s most important, and NOT allow my basic needs to sit on the back burner in favor of the never ending to do list. And, most importantly, I’m praying my way through each day, asking the Lord for grace and patience - my daily bread for each day when I feel so inadequate but am reminded that I worship a God who offers rest and sustenance to those who come to Him in their inadequacy. 
.

Sweet night after a day when I felt absolutely exhausted on so many levels. What a gentle reminder of God’s goodness and grace.
