Today we head out of the Bayou and off on a fun adventure. While the trip will be a blast I’m a little exhausted over packing and getting 9 people ready for a week away. Y’all that is no small task, can I get an amen?! Even after I’ve made sure every child has clothes, […]
All You Need to Know About Great Sleep!
There aren’t many things that I consider myself a professional on, but sleeping is one of them. For real, I’ve seen a 30 day napping challenge circulate around on Facebook and I seriously think it’s a challenge that I can get behind! But falling asleep isn’t the only thing you need to be concerned with, […]
It’s Official Now- Adoption Day!
A day it seems like I’ve waited my entire life for finally arrived. From the time I was a teenager I knew adoption was in my future. The when and how part was just a little unclear. So to be sitting in that courtroom on that hot July day felt surreal and time stood still. […]

Have you ever tried something and then all of the sudden everything just clicked? Well I must tell you, this is the wonderful world of Periscope for me. (you can find me on there at: @naturallyestes) When my sweet friend Alice talked me into doing my first scope, I was nervous to say the least. […]

Here’s the deal, I have seven children and when one of them get sick I often have to load up and take ALL of my kids to the doctor. Not only is that a complete pain and flat out struggle, but I’m taking 6 healthy children where all the other sick kids are. This is […]
