Hello.

Hey Y’all.

I’m Heather Alyssa Faulkner. I’m a wife to an awesome man, named Dustin. We married young (like 19 😳) and almost immediately were blessed with starting a family.  We are in our 7th year of marriage and have 2 super cute kiddos, Cloe Mae (6) & Claxton Wade (2). Also, we recently purchased our 2nd (and hopefully final) house in September, which I am trying to turn it into home everyday.

I am a professional photographer (check out my work here), college instructor, and independent lipsense distributor. Needless to say I’m a busy woman.  Trying to find balance between my career(s) and family is something I struggle with daily! (Can I get an AMEN from the working moms ?!)

Starting this blog has been on my heart for a while. My social media feed is constantly full of unrealistic things, and expectations. Constantly, there is pressure for me as a woman, wife, & mom to portray a perfect life. Well…. guess what. Life isn’t perfect. My life is full of chaos, struggles, & stress. BUT also full of so much JOY! I want to share all of this with you, in hopes that I can encourage someone else that they are not alone. There is a Savior in Jesus Christ who loves and adores you, and created you for a specific purpose!

I plan to share a little bit of everything with you. From products & fashion (like I even know what I’m talking about 😂), to having a child with several food allergies. So follow along for the Real Life. Wife Life. Mom Life.
