  • Yesterday’s tragic news hit me hard...as much as I struggled last year it pails in comparison to loosing loved ones in a blink of an eye. I always remind myself that it could always be worse and these events has really showed that more than ever. Life is not guaranteed and we never know what the future holds. It has me reflecting on where I am, where I want to be and not letting fear get in the way of moving forward and living life to the fullest. Life is so precious so here is to making the most of whatever is thrown our way and doing the things that make us happy while being overwhelmingly grateful for all of our blessings! Sending prayers to the Bryant family and the other families effected by this terrible tragedy💔 #lifeisshort #seizetheday #noregrets #tellyourlovedonesyoulovethem #livelifetothefullest #conqueryourfears #findhappiness #thoughtsandprayers #ripkobeandgianna
  • Heart of gold😍😭 ...not much from me today just wanted to say hi, how are you?! You are doing great and you are so loved! Hope you have a great rest of the week💋
  • Second time around making lots of house decisions, and it is still a struggle😂 Paint is the hardest one in my opinion but I’m leaning toward top right! Swipe to see a few different living & dining room looks I put together🛋 which is your favorite...1, 2 or 3?! Steve is very visual so I like to show him a few ideas on what we could do! Finally starting to feel excited about our house again and ready to put it back together! For a while I didn’t want to go there nor could I imagine us back there but the awful smoke smell is gone and things are coming together...again🙌🏼 {My sweatshirt is on major sale💋} http://liketk.it/2Jjmx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome #LTKstyletip #abercrombiestyle #fixerupper #decisionsdecisions #paintswatches
  • How many times do you think it took to get this shot...actually don’t answer that😬 Ohhhh we’re halfway there!! Day 15 of Whole 30 and I’m feeling good! Okay, here is a list of pros and cons... Pro’s: -Clear skin -Increases energy -Better sleep -Breaks emotional attachment to food -Helps with depression and anxiety -Fertility (not the reason I am doing it but it’s bc of reduced inflammation) -Manages or reverses symptoms of serious diseases. Con’s -Lots of grocery shopping and reading labels -Food prepping and cooking your own meals. -A few days of headaches while detoxing -A bit of a lifestyle change bc no drinking and food limitations People often use the word “diet” when talking about this program but I prefer to think of it as a lifestyle change. Eliminate processed foods and sugars to reduce inflammation and let our bodies heal from the damage of them. Eat real and whole foods that nourish then slowly adding back in certain foods after the 30 days while being mindful of what they do to your body! I’ve never felt deprived, there are no limitations on how much to eat and it has reinvigorated my love for cooking and trying new recipes!

  • H•A•P•P•I•N•E•S•S Something I have been thinking about a lot lately. With 2019 in the rearview mirror I have been trying to figure out how to put everything that has happened in the past and move forward but sometimes it’s just not that easy. I struggled to feel happy on a daily basis last year (still do sometimes), when all our hopes and dreams get taken from us one by one. It’s a weird dichotomy when I have an amazing husband, wonderful family and friends, a roof over my head and adorable pets that were spared but on the other end losing our home in the blink of an eye, walking thru infertility and all the little struggles in between. Knowing we are so lucky but also feeling like it’s so unfair for all these things to happen to us month after month while bracing myself for what’s to come, it can mess with me! It’s hard to navigate and oh how I wish a brand new year and a fresh start could wash it all away. Being in this place in my life, I take nothing for granite. Every little moment that puts a smile on my face is one that I cherish and I am so thankful for. I have to work everyday to remember to find happiness and stay in the moment instead of dwelling on the past and worrying about the future. One day, I will look back and have everything I am praying for now with a whole new set of struggles and A LOT of perspective...life is funny that way. If you are (or have been) in a season of waiting or struggling with something I am sending you lots of prayers. What are some of the ways you find happiness and cope on a daily, weekly and monthly basis?🙏🏼😘❤️ http://liketk.it/2J99b #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkunder50 #happinessisachoice #twopieceset #clark #goldenlover #struggleisreal #lifeishardsometimes #walkingthruthedark #seasonofwaiting
  • So grateful this ray of sunshine came into my life💛 He got me up and out during the hardest time of my life and is always right by my side🥰 I picked up some new activewear and did a try-on over on my stories! Everything is on sale and I found some things I am loooving, like the softest tank for $8 👏🏼 Swipe to see...it is all linked on @liketoknow.it. Working out not only makes me feel good but plays such a big role in my mental health. The biggest piece of advice I have is give yourself grace and just start somewhere and build upon that! Progress > perfection. We got this💪🏼 http://liketk.it/2IRcT #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKsalealert #LTKshoecrush #LTKfit @oldnavy #oldnavyactive #sunshineonacloudyday @clarkandmabs

  • “The life in front of you is far more important than the life you left behind.” -Joel Osteen 2019 was by far the hardest year of my life. Between heartbreaking fertility struggles to losing our almost completed fixer upper to an electrical fire I have been tested more than ever. I learned that I am way stronger than I ever thought and I have the most amazing husband by my side taking care of US thru it all. Moving into 2020 we are going to rebuild our home, hopefully start a family (putting it into the universe🙌🏼) and take all the lessons from my 30 years on this earth to become a better version of myself. I want to share the happy times as well as the hard times with some fashion, clean beauty, yummy food and home decor sprinkled in too! I will be using this past year to fuel myself, to follow my dreams and reach my goals but I will not let it stop me or rob me from believing that good things will happen. This is our year...I just know it. Happy New Year to you all. Sending lots of love💕 #hardtimesmakestrongpeople #bye2019hello2020 #newyeargoals #findinghappiness #strengthisbeautiful #believeinmagic http://liketk.it/2IGBG #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50 #targetstyle #matchingset
  • So nice to be home with the fur-babes after a week away for the holidays! Spending lots of time with them and NOT cleaning the floors full of their hair and everything we track in while potty training Clark...the @sharkcleaning is taking care of it 🙌🏼 The app makes it so easy for me to run it with the click of a button (swipe to see) and I even made a schedule for it to clean while we were gone! The self-cleaning brushroll ensures that I don’t have to turn it over and clean it out myself which is probably my favorite part! The amount of dirt collected in the dock...well we won’t talk about that🙈 We are all both obsessed and mesmerized by it and every time it runs — clearly😂 #sponsoredbyShark #SharkCleansSmarter #sharkiqrobot
  • You serious Clark?🎄🎅🏻⛄️ Merry Christmas! ❤️The Murphys

Interested in doing Whole 30 to start 2020 off right?!

Working Out: A brain dump

History/Body Image: Working out has been a huge part of my life for as long as I remember but as I have gotten older it hasn’t been regulated in recreational sports so I have had to take the journey of figuring out what works for me. That journey has been very long with lots of ups and downs.  I am not the girl that just doesn’t gain weight or looks amazing in a bikini after eating fried food. …

My Favorite Podcasts

This past year I have gotten into so many podcasts and I listen religiously! I love to have a variety on deck depending on my mood - sometimes I like to keep it light and fun with pop culture news, other times I like more educational options that talk about blogging, content creation, social networking and sometimes I like to go deep into the more self-help category. No matter what you like, there …
