💖About me💖
HI!! You have no idea how happy I am you’re here!! Ask anyone that knows me personally, I really mean that! lol 😄
I love the Lord, and I hope anything I do above all brings glory to 🤍Him🤍 This gift is not mine, it’s His.
I am a dedicated wife and Mama ❤️ My husband is as wild and weird as me, he’s my best friend in the world and I truly think he hung the moon 😘 he certainly did in my world.
I have a beautiful, sassy daughter🩷 a rough and tumble, handsome boy💙 and sweet, little baby boy🩵 They are my wonderful, exhausting purpose 🥰😅
I have two precious babies in Heaven 👼🏼👼🏼🤍 I think of them everyday.
I’m an artist, of course! I have loved art since I learned to color and decided in elementary school I wanted to be an artist when I grew up! 😃 I love fun funky home design, I’m a scrap metal or carbon steel mig sculptor and an abstract painter.
My work is experimenting with elements and principles (my favorites are line, color and pattern!), inspired by emotions or inspired by things I love! It’s usually always different and changing; I get bored easily 🤪
I love and get excited over absolutely nothing and absolutely everything 🥰🥳
I LOVE COLOR! Bright color, and a lot of it! 🌈🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜
I’m the least judgmental person you’ll ever meet, I see the world through rose colored glasses, and we will be best friends as soon as we meet and I’ll love you forever ! 🤗
I’m honest. My stomach hurts if I’m not 🤍
I am blindly loyal to and protective of my people!
I compulsively twirl my hair and have forever💁🏼♀️
I love coffee; I take it black with 1-2 ice cubes ☕️
I have two pit bull mutts, a miniature pot-bellied pig, 12 chickens and a rooster 🤗
I don’t love odd numbers. They’re more tolerable than they use to be, but 3 and 33 will never be acceptable
I love shoes—sneakers most of all!!
I believe in being a good person all of the time 🩷
I’m an over-talker and over-sharer lol
I’m very frugal
I’m what people call a “conspiracy theorist” 🙋🏼♀️ I call it doing my own research and critically thinking😜
I like to speak in song lyrics 🎤

Seeing as how I fell off the face of the earth for a year, you can imagine the inspiration 😅🥰🩷 I am wildly grateful to be a 𝘛𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. Happy belated Mother’s Day to 🤍all🤍 the mamas out there!!
These are 3 of many to come. Stay tuned for more colors, variations and sizes. And many other mamas that were on my mind this past year 😁🥰 I’ll be taking these 3 to my friends at @designwithlunamae ! 🛍️

We wear many hats, Mamas 🤍
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day 🩷💐
When I start sketching it doesn’t take long for them to join 🥰 and I love it. I love them watching me love what I do! And they’ve added 🤍so🤍 much meaning and fullness to my life. It’s changed and inspired me!
This next series has been in the back of my mind for a while—motherhood, pregnancy, loss, birth.
4 years of being pregnant, postpartum or miscarrying. 5 pregnancies, 3 births, 2 surgeries, 3 perfect children here with me.
This last pregnancy was quite the cap on my journey of pregnancy and birth! I came out of it with a testimony of the Lord’s closeness, and I’m SO grateful.
⭐️In help and inspiration for upcoming work, please comment or share a word or phrase or anything with me about motherhood, pregnancy, loss, birthing, etc.!⭐️ Something you experienced, the birth you had, something you’ve learned, the best or hardest thing, anything

🤍 In absolute newborn bliss 🤍
A little over a week ago, our third arrow shot into the world all gas no brakes! At 5pm I was watering my garden, by 11pm he was in our arms 🥰
🤍⬇️ Birth story:
I got my VBA2C! Around 4:30p I got my first signs of labor. Thank goodness Alex talked me into going ahead and sending the kids because I thought we had plenty of time and didn’t want to just yet. Around 6:45 I had my first contraction that took me down, but I could still talk through them. They were like every 2-3 minutes but not a minute long. I was cleaning up and doing some last minute things in case we did go in that night. Again, totally convinced we had so much time lol. The contractions were getting worse so I got in the tub for some relief. They continued hard and quick! It got to where I couldn’t get through a contraction without Alex doing hip squeezes/counter pressure. My doula @madietjenkins called after a few texts from me to listen in for the next contraction and she could hear it in my voice! She said ooookay I’m on the way!! But after the next contraction Alex said we are going to the hospital! He could see a major change with each contraction!
He flew down the interstate with hazards on while I hollered lol. I didn’t know it at the time (but should have looking back) but I was actually in transition! We got to the hospital and I could not walk! Madie pulled in right behind us and I swear if needed I could tell she was ready to catch that baby right there in that parking lot!! lol. Because my body had already started very much pushing for me. Alex comes up with a wheelchair on one wheel turning the corner so fast and all I could do was get in it backwards on my knees. As soon as I got on I felt my water break like it does on the movies, whoosh! Filled the wheelchair seat. I’m howling through each contraction as we enter the doors and needless to say we attracted some attention lol. (We all had some good laughs about this once the dust settled 🤪😆) We get in the room and quickly find baby is almost here!

Keeping the gender a surprise was such a fun experience for our third baby 🤍 Alex yelling ITS A BOY will forever be a core memory 🥲🩵
Baby and I are doing great! We are all in newborn bliss right now 🥰

I’ve had these women in my head this whole pregnancy 👩💖
Have been feeling very inspired through pregnancy, loss, rainbows after storms, the female body and all its changes and miracles. But right there along with all my normal favorites—line, shape and COLOR 🌈💖🖼️
I’m due in 3 weeks (or less🤞🏻) with our third baby, second rainbow. I was creating my last series when we went through our second loss and it helped me a lot in expression!
I can’t wait to come at this new series and see what comes of it 😃💖 With it being #womensmonth it felt like a great time to finally decide on and share these ladies!
Since I got very sick during my vintage ladies I’ll be finishing and posting those as well! Stay tuned 🥰
