Are you ready, momma?

Are you ready, momma? 

That is the question I get 100+ times in the weeks leading to football season. I feel like it’s such a loaded question. Am I ready for football games, cheering, being nervous in the 4th quarter, feeding the coaches, and feeding a bunch of big high school boys? Heck yes I’m ready. I love that part. Watching my husband do something he is passionate about and was clearly made to do. It makes heart so happy to see and I will always be his biggest supporter!

On the flip side- am I ready to see him less, for the kids to mention that they miss their daddy, to attend every social event alone? Never, but I know we can do it and we do it so well. I am fully capable of doing the dinners, and baths, and soccer practice, and whatever else we decide to do, on my own. That doesn’t mean I like it. I love having my husband by my side, to make things a little easier (we are a pretty good team) but each season, I figure this mom thing out a little more. We are able to get in a good rhythm and we are able to thrive, not just survive. 

So yes, football season is here and this momma is SO ready!

The football season has ended and we are on to our next journey. I feel like it flew by this year. Sometimes I feel like I just need a space to write all my thoughts and just share what is on my heart. Honestly, I am pretty sure maybe 2 people read these (my mom and my husband) haha. 

As the rest of the world, we always have something going on. Busy has turned into a symbol of success. I hate being busy. My favorite days are when I can come home after work and not have to leave my house again. There are many times that we are constantly on the go and even Hudson will start to mention that he doesn't want to go anywhere. That is when we realize we really need to take a step back and spend more time at home. 

Tyler and I have really evaluated life and our goals the last few months. Where do we want to be in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and beyond. Debt free is the first goal we are trying to reach and we have started taking serious steps to get there. No credit cards, no eating out, more self control in general. We definitely don't always do exactly as we should but we are getting better. We would also love for me to get to be a stay at home mom, we realize this can't happen until we get out of debt. My life long dream has been for me to stay home. It would be so nice to never have to worry about who stays home with a sick kid and making sure I can take off for the field trip or class party. We have decided we may have to give up what we want now for what we want later. 

As many of you know, I have ventured in many different MLM businesses. Rodan + Fields was my first and I will probably always be a consultant with them. I dabbled in MONAT for awhile, and even the Somaderm HGH Gel. All of these are great products that I believe work and still continue to use but I have never felt like any of them were going to be life changing for me. I always jumped on board without trying the products and because it seemed like I could make a lot of money with minimal effort. A few months ago, my friend introduced me to Color Street. I fel in love with products and have been using them since. I never considered signing up to sell it until she messaged me and asked. It was something I put off because I didn't want to be "that girl" who literally just signed up for everything--I mean look at my track record...after a lot of prayer and consideration, I decided to take a leap of faith and do it. Who cares what the haters say? So now I am a stylist with Color Street and I can honestly say I have never been more excited. I don't think it is going to solve all of our problems or get me rich overnight, but I do think it will help me achieve my goals for my family. This product is super affordable and something that everyone loves. If you want a sample just go to https://tinyurl.com/solomonsamples and I will send one out to you. 

The last few months I have been off my game and I felt like I needed something just for me that I could enjoy and I truly believe Color Street will be that for me. Hudson still loves school and Emma is sassy as ever. They literally make me so proud each and every day. I am so blessed to be their momma.
