Why We Went SMALL, Instead Of BIGGER | Life By The Sea
Before we show our new home in an upcoming blog post, we wanted to share WHY we seem to be going backwards compared to the masses. It would seem, for most, you have more kids.. you get a bigger house. More rooms, more bathrooms. More SPACE. Some people are completely adamant on their kids having…
We’re Moving to HATTERAS! | Life By The Sea
Last week on Instagram, we announced something we had been holding on to for weeks, but we had been hoping for far longer. We let our community know we were moving an hour plus south to live on Hatteras Island, which is truly a dream for our family! We have been head over heels in love with…
Favorite Beauty Products from AMAZON
I am the least beauty expert person out there … SO, if you can relate, MAYBE just maybe I’m the perfect person to share these things with you! Sometimes I like hearing about things from people who aren’t experts because I know I will be able to use and handle whatever they are sharing better…
FIVE Ways To Get Ready For Back To School Last Minute! | Life By The Sea
I have been prepping for back to school since….July, LOL! I REALLY like to get ahead of things so I don’t feel stressed or crammed, but we are also major homebodies and we don’t go out and do tons of summer things so we understand that these next couple of weeks before school starts may…

Gladiators Sharing Joy | Life By The Sea
This world is a very broken place right now. I’m sure it always has been, but the news and social media bring the broken right to our attention front and center daily and it’s hard to see what kind of acts of violence or tragedy have happened since the last one 10 minutes prior and…
Up at 4:30 A.M. | Salt Air Entrepreneur
I know people who would shudder at this blog title, HA! But they are also the night owls who outdo me in staying up late. What do you MEAN you were up until 11pm!?!? LOL! I can’t even. I used to be a night owl and after Cammy started elementary school – we had to…
Free SIMPLE Grocery Budget Printable! | Dave Ramsey
I have been a photographer for eight years, we’ve shot over 130 weddings and we are almost fully booked for weddings this year and almost for sessions this summer, too. This is our biggest “thing”, what I think we will be most asked about – but it’s not, LOL! It’s not! It’s more likely I’ll…
2019 Word of the Year | Cultivate What Matters
Hi my fellow Powersheets loving friends 🙂 This year..wow. What a special time. If I was a cynic I would say it started with a cyberstalker and ended with a miserable surgery, LOL – but I would rather say it started with self-growth, bravery and forgiveness and ended in a solution to a health problem…
Hysterectomy + PCS | Life By The Sea
If you had asked me last year if the word hysterectomy would EVER be in my conversations, referring to MYSELF, I would said “what the heck? no way!” – because I am 34 years old and I literally never saw this coming. I am, however, going to have a hysterectomy and in this post share…
Disney with the Mermaids 2018 | Life By The Sea
WOW. This was WAY harder than in 2014 with just baby Ellie (9 months) and Cammy (almost 3) ,haha! And we needed MORE stuff then because the tinier the child, the more gear required… but this was tough. We were SUPER hot, lines were long for characters, the girls ALL wanted to ride in the…
