Hey there! I’m Destiny.
Wife to my hard-working husband Colton, mama to Everleigh (and baby boy coming soon!), and the heart behind Raising Robertsons. I’m a stay-at-home mom, snack-fetcher, chaos coordinator, and big believer in finding joy in the everyday mess.
This blog started as a way for me to share the things that make our little world go round – like easy dinners that might actually get eaten, parenting moments that make me laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time), and little reminders that you’re not the only one winging it.
What this blog is all about
Raising Robertsons is a space for parents who are still learning how to raise themselves, while raising tiny humans at the same time. Because let’s be honest—none of us really know what we’re doing. We’re all just figuring it out as we go.
In a world full of perfectly curated Instagram feeds and Pinterest-perfect blog posts, it’s easy to feel like you’re somehow falling behind. Like everyone else has it together… except you.
But here? This blog is about the real stuff.
The toddler tantrums, the cold coffee, the dinners that didn’t look like the picture (but still got eaten), the wins, the fails, the growing pains, and the holy crap, did we just survive that?! kind of days.
Whether you’re here for a quick recipe, a relatable mom moment, or just to feel less alone—I hope you leave feeling encouraged, understood, and a little more okay with the beautiful mess of it all.
A Little About US
I was born in June of ’96 and met the love of my life in high school (cue the teenage butterflies). We graduated in 2015, got married three years later, and shortly after, I traded Texas sunsets for Georgia humidity to be with Colton who was stationed there in the Navy. 
Military wife life? Wild.
In 2020—right in the middle of the world turning upside down—we welcomed our daughter, Everleigh. Nothing like becoming a brand-new parent during a pandemic, am I right?
Eventually, Navy life ended, and we packed it up and headed back to Texas to be closer to family (and real Tex-Mex, obviously). I’m now pregnant with baby #2, running entirely on coffee, carbs, and grace. Oh—and we have four dogs. Yes, four. It’s fine. We’re fine. It’s loud, but it’s home.
At the end of the day, we’re just two young parents trying to figure life out turn by turn. We make mistakes, we laugh a lot, we cry sometimes too—but I wouldn’t change this messy, beautiful life for anything.
