22 Weeks...

Precious Baby, you are a busy little bee!! What are you doing in there? I am just certain that you are going to be either a fabulous dancer or excellent soccer player, who knows, maybe both! But it is such a JOY to feel your little kicks all day, and night, long!!

This week was so so fun as we began to prepare for your nursery and arrival!! Early in the week we met with a sweet woman who will be making all of your bedding... even though we are not finding out what you are until you arrive, there will be ONE person who knows!! I am just too particular to have a "gender neutral" nursery.... so, I have picked out fabrics for you if you are a girl and others if you are a boy... she will be finding out from our doctor and will start making everything for your room!! (Once you are delivered, my mom and some sweet friends will pick up the items from her house and come set up your room before you even come home!!).

You will also be VERY proud of your momma... I have started to exercise!! That is right.. I have joined the gym here in Coppell and now am exercising to keep my energy UP and UP the closer you get to arriving!



I also learned an invaluable lesson... no more horizontal stripes for my weekly pictures.

I absolutely love how you aren't finding out, but will still have your nursery all ready either way! I always say that when we have kids I won't want to know what we're having, but have always disliked gender neutral nurseries! GREAT IDEA!!!

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
