Okay what is in this bottle?! Witchcraft? A tiny hairstylist? 😂 K18 Hair has my hair looking like I showered and I would like to be very clear that I did not. 🤯

A little update on our Weslie. 💛

After leaving the hospital last week, I sent her blood work to our functional medicine doctor. He has gone above and beyond to help us navigate everything, and having someone care so much about our girl means more than I can explain.

Her thyroid antibodies came back at 1,015, with the lab’s normal range being 0–34. He quickly ordered a thyroid ultrasound to check for nodules or anything concerning. Waiting was scary, but thankfully, everything looked good. Thank the high heavens. 😭

This week, Weslie was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. We’re learning what that means for her and working with her doctor on supplements, some eating changes, and a plan to help her feel her best.

This week brought back so much from when Kolbie was diagnosed. That fear you remember in your whole body. Wanting to fix everything for your child and realizing you can’t.

I know we all have our lot in life, but ours sure seems to involve health issues. And as relieved as I am that the ultrasound was reassuring, I’m still so sad that she has to deal with it.
Both feelings are there.

I just want her to feel good and be a kid. We’ll figure this out, like we always do. Luckily, she has a mom who knows firsthand what she’s going through. It feels like I keep getting diagnosed with things before my kids, and maybe part of that is so I can help them navigate it. 🥺

I know she’s strong. I just wish she didn’t have to be.

And honestly? I’m real dang sick of autoimmune diseases.

Thank you for checking on her, praying for her, and loving our family. Even when I don’t have the energy to respond, your messages mean so much. 🫶🏼

HOCO 26-27 ✨

Kevin Cox took McCoy's group photos and freaking slayed so hard! Thanks to Brooke Hallows & Jeremy for letting us use their hangar because of the weather! They turned out so perfect!! 🤩

I got to host McCoy's group for dinner and I love hosting so much!! 😍

I can't believe this is Kolbie's last homecoming. Senior year is weird!! All the feels going on. 🥹💕

Okay, this may be my absolute favorite gift of all time. Kev freaking knows how to do gifts. 🥹💐

This year for Valentine’s Day, he showed up with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and a card telling me I had a flower subscription from May-September from our local flower farm, Torrie Meidell, UTAH WHOLESALE CUT FLOWER FARM.

I had never heard of a flower subscription and didn’t know what to expect, but every Monday there would be a knock at my door and the most beautiful fresh-cut flowers. Every. Single. Monday. 😭🤍 And every week, I got to feel that same excitement I felt when he first gave me the gift. He made me feel so loved for months. 🥹

The owners of Torrie Meidell, UTAH WHOLESALE CUT FLOWER FARM are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I love what they’re doing and what they’ve created in our little community. They’re doing big things, and I’m so happy we get to support them.

Sharing because they deserve all the love… and because this gift deserves to be on someone else’s Valentine’s wish list. 😉

Learning to eat gluten-free can feel like learning a whole new language. 🤪😩

When I was first diagnosed with celiac, I thought I just needed to stop eating bread and pasta. I had no idea how much there was to learn or how overwhelming a trip to the grocery store could feel.

It’s learning what to look for on a label and which foods need a closer look. And in the beginning, it can feel like a lot.

If you’re newly diagnosed or shopping for someone you love, I wanted to share this to make that next grocery trip a little easier.

Save this to refer back to, and remember to check labels every time, even on your favorites. Ingredients can change!

You don’t have to learn everything overnight. One label, and one day at a time. It gets easier, and you’re not doing this alone. 🫶

What surprised you most when you first went gluten-free?
