These guys right here? I’m in awe of their patie

These guys right here?
I’m in awe of their patience, their love and their ability to adapt to any situation.
This last weekend was so busy. And less than two weeks before, my sister asked me to do everyone’s makeup for her wedding.
I already had plans for the boys being there. Flights paid for etc.
So day of, I asked my dad to hang with the boys.
But I was also IN the wedding. I didn’t take into account that from 9am-7pm I would only see them in passing.
They hung out with Grandpa in the hotel all day. Snuck two rooms down to check on me throughout the day. And got dressed on their own. They rode to and from ceremony/reception without me. No real sense of what was going on other than me saying to stay with Grandpa and that it was a big party for Crystal and Wilson.

By the time I sat down at the reception they were all over me. In a good way. They missed me so much. Kent was emotional because he was hungry and just wanted to be with his mama a little. Wayne was fine but needed mama snuggies too.

But ya know what? They didn’t complain. They ate, told me about their day and got on the dance floor with me for an hour before headed back to the hotel.

Troopers. These boys.
So proud to be their mama. ❤️👩‍👦‍👦

Traveling made super easy with my @moxie.verve bag

Traveling made super easy with my @moxie.verve bags.

The large Katherine makeup case for an entire MUA essentials for a bridal party of 8.
Fransisco backpack for all my goodies (snacks, my makeup, blanket, iPad and more)
Jolie bag (inside backpack) backpack that carried my essentials (ID, credit card, cash, lip balm etc)
And the small Kat case is in my checked luggage.

Thanks @the.kat.d for making these incredible bags. Really, it made this hectic trip just a little bit easier!
Managing two rambunctious boys, flying, and to a wedding where I work the entire time and am IN the wedding… I never worried where anything was. (Except maybe where my boys were a couple times 😬)

You know what’s better than a girl having a big

You know what’s better than a girl having a big brother?
A boy having a little sister 😜

I can’t imagine my life without a big brother. We’re completely stupid together. I mean, it’s ridiculous. It’s like we suddenly become possessed when we talk on the phone or see each other. We can never answer with just a simple “Hello?” Even if it is the word Hello, it’s not normal. We’re not normal. And that? That’s totally ok.

My big brother stood in for the role of father for a while. And still occasionally does. (Really I should acknowledge him on Father’s Day.) He walked me down the aisle on my wedding day. We did a brother/sister dance in lieu of father/daughter dance. I call him with “hey there’s this weird sound on my truck”. And when I just need a sounding board (that’s not my biased husband 😜), I call my big bro. Those times you call your dad? Yeah, I call him.

Like most siblings, we’ve pulled each other’s hair out, said we hated each other a time or two, blamed each other for mistakes at home. But in the end? I’d cut you down if you messed with him. Only I’m allowed to do that.

Happy birthday Big Bro. I’m actually super glad you were born. But I’ll never tell you that to your face. So screenshot this and save it for blackmail.

The women I surround myself with? Simply? Incredib

The women I surround myself with?
Simply? Incredible.

Let me introduce you to to @meeghancarrolldesigns
Meeghan and I actually shared a maternity floor at the hospital with our boys. Just the two of us on the whole floor. We met for the first time many months later, but it’s one of those kismet things ya know?

Give Meeghan a needle and thread and she will give you amazing things.

When I needed a white or silver outfit for a black tie gala, who did I call? Yeah, her.
Her genius in bridal design is just 🤯

I sent a pic and said “I want something kinda like this” and what I got was breathtaking.

I am HONORED to be able to wear one of her designs at the Silver Linings Gala at the Seint reunion. And I can’t wait to see what the rest of the line looks like!

Yeah you read that right “the rest of the line”. This here outfit (3 separate pieces!) will be a part of her next bridal line!!

Thank you Meeghan for making me feel beautiful and powerful on such a fun night.

The Pacific Ocean. Never thought I’d be here. L

The Pacific Ocean.

Never thought I’d be here. Living in the gulf coast, sunsets are my jam.
But sunsets on the Pacific? It’s different. You hear the crashing of waves. The water is freezing cold. It’s windy. And the sky is more pink than the oranges and purples I’m used to. The sand is super soft. There’s not that heavy salt smell in the air.
It’s still beautiful. But different.

I miss home already. But I’m so happy that I could experience the other side. ❤️

I’m not saying I’m a mermaid. But I am saying… you don’t want to hear me sing.

Round 2 of @seintofficial makeup competition. Theme: Mermaid.

My interpretation of mermaid? A beautiful water creature.

As an avid reader my mind loved this round. Reminding me of fictional stories in magical worlds. Fantasy. Imagination. But realistic.
What would a creature of the waters look like?
