About Me

Hey there! My name is Brittany. I’m 29 years old and was born and raised in South Georgia. I’m a small town Wife to a hard-working man and Mama to the most energetic four year old, Austin Blake, and the sweetest little newborn, Jaxon Pierce, who I both absolutely adore. I used to be a stay-at-home mom, but now I work full time as a banker. This November will make two years of being where I’m at, and I’m really enjoying it. 

When I’m not working, chasing after Austin, or rocking Jax, I’m trying to keep the house from somewhat looking like a tornado just hit, and cooking my heart out. Food, is of course, my passion in life (cooking it and eating it).

We also just moved into our newly remodeled last year. We have worked on it for the last couple of years to make it our farmhouse dream, and it has turned out better than we could have hoped for. While we still have a lot of work to do, I look forward to sharing more of it with all of you very soon. We get a lot of questions on how we updated our fireplace, which is one of my most favorite updates in our home. If you’d like to read more about it, click here.

Creating things and inspiring others to stay positive when life gets you down is what I love to do. Being a parent is hard, and trying to get through other struggles in life while being a parent/spouse is even harder. Sometimes, it’s just nice to know you’re not alone.

My favorite things are cooking, reading, and spending time with my sweet little family. Let’s be real…half the time I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m nowhere near perfect, but I love my life and consider myself extremely blessed.

Here are some more facts about myself:

• I absolutely can’t stand the taste of celery.
• Christmas Hallmark movies are the best.
• Ranch is my favorite dressing.
• I’ve never been to Disney World.
• I’m slightly (okay, a lot) obsessed with butter. 
• I’ve had 15 surgeries. 
• I’m an Endometriosis warrior.
• I also have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, TMJ, RLS, IBS, BHJS, and Tendinitis. 
• I love mint chocolate chip ice cream, but do not like mint and chocolate together in any other situation.
• I would rather be at home than anywhere else.
• My favorite shows are anything medical or crime related.
• I have never traveled by plane before (I know, I’m sheltered, right?).
• I have an Associates degree in science and am a Registered Radiologic Technologist, and I also completed the program to become a Computed Tomography Specialist, but I work at a bank, and I love it!
• Hibachi is one of my favorite things to eat! You can get my favorite Hibachi recipe here.
• I also love Mexican food. As far as I’m concerned, every day can be Taco Tuesday! Get my Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas recipe here.
• Laughing is my favorite, and really is the best medicine in life.
• I love anything that is rustic or Farmhouse style.
• One thing I dislike about myself: I’m indecisive.
• One thing I like about myself: I love helping others.
• Some girls like late night walks on the beach…I like binge watching Netflix and eating chips and salsa with my husband before bed (it’s kind of our thing).
• I can be very weird and silly sometimes.

Sometimes I try to unlock the front door with my car key clicker, laugh at inappropriate times, eat too much, put my clothes on backwards, and make several mistakes as a Mom, but I’m me….and I won’t apologize for that. I’m doing the best that I can.
