The last few days I’ve gotten a great reminder of how it feels to feel normal…almost. It’s so easy to take for granted the ability to get up, take a shower, get ready, and get junk ...
Every year I dread getting a summer wardrobe. I’m not a huge fan of shorts. I don’t wear tank tops. Finding skirts and dresses that are long enough can often be a challenge. That’s ...
As a first time mom, I was a bit neurotic. Up 25x a night putting my finger under his nose to make sure he was still breathing. Refused to give him formula for almost 6 months even though I wasn̵...
It may already be rather apparent that I’m not the greatest pregnant person in the world. I’m not one of those lucky girls who feel fabulous, have that glow, and look adorable with their ...
Full disclosure here people….this outfit is a good 2 weeks + old. I’ve basically been on the couch, in bed, or in sweats since, so this was the last time I really looked human. I have got...
Dear Peanut, We are so excited to finally have you on the way to our little family. We’ve been hoping for you for almost a year now, and finally you are on your way. I’m already anxious t...
Just by guessing, you would never know that I’m a Cali girl. The beach is ok…. I’m not a huge fan of sand, or being hot, or sunscreen, or salt water up my nose. Chambray: Gap Outlet...
Out of the blue it hit me the other day….my baby isn’t really a baby anymore. How did I come to this not-so-shocking conclusion? My white pants stayed white all day. A minor victory in mo...
There are times in life when I know that I need to savor each moment, cause it will be gone all too quickly. Like this morning. LJ woke up at the annoying hour of 6, so I put him back in his bed and ...
You may have noticed the button over there on my sidebar, but with all the moving chaos I haven’t had a chance to properly announce that I will be speaking at the first ever Elevate Conference!...
Yes, I’m totally cheating with this insanely cute (yet almost a year old) picture of LJ, but the kid has a point…. SPONSORS RULE!!!! Time to shake up sponsorship around here now that I...
I tend to over think things. I’m a planner, what can I say? I don’t like “grey area”. I need a schedule. I like to know exactly what will be happening. Sometimes, I need to le...
Priorities. Sometimes life just slaps you in the face and reminds you of what is really important. Like beach days with the cousins… Or Uncle Blair’s Senior Day, after 12 years of lacross...
I can eat the same cereal for months, then not touch it again for years. I do my makeup the same way almost everyday. I cook the same few meals for dinner over, and over, and over again. I have to re...
I hadn’t realized just how comfortable in my routine and surroundings I had become until I up and changed them all. We only moved 10 minutes down the road, but it’s far enough that my who...
Hey there folks! Sorry to fall off the face of the planet for the last week. Between the big move to the new house (pictures to come, I promise!), and LJ’s 3rd birthday, it’s been slightl...
Last Thursday I was so excited. I got up early, got in the shower before LJ was even out of bed. Did my hair, picked out a cute outfit, got my makeup on, and sat. Sat, and waited, and waited some mor...
I’d been looking forward to the other night for years. 10 years to be exact. I proudly admit that I called in every time Ryan Seacreast and Brian Dunkelman (yeah, remember that guy?) told me to...
There are some things that just never go out of style. A black blazer Classic trouser jeans A white button up Riding boots While I certainly love trying out the new trends, adding a funky pop of co...
Expectations. Throughout every aspect of life we have expectations about how things should go, should be, how we should behave, yada yada. Like buying our house….. I expected that the professio...
Today I am super excited to share with you a blogger who I simply love and devour every post. It’s not often that I come across a blog that speaks to me as though we were sitting in the same ro...
I’m always so impressed with people who wear prints like they are no big deal. It has taken me 27 years and 8 months of my 28 years to finally become semi-comfortable in prints. Even though I&...
Whether near or far, talked in person or just online, friends are friends, and I’m grateful for each and everyone. A few days ago, my friend Kassi from Truly Lovely swooped in right when I need...
There are seasons in life, and I’m learning this one is a chaotic one. Lately, most days I’ve either wanted to run away from it all, or go sit on the couch under a blanket and pretend it ...
It’s funny how life surprises you sometimes. Like my best girlfriend as an adult is the girl I sat next to in chemistry in high school. Or how a guy whose name I barely knew in high school, is ...
I love it when you guys get all brilliant and creative with your outfits. From making your own dress, to figuring out how to wear a piece multiple ways, to thrifting the perfect look, this week you g...
It’s amazing to me that all those things that you hear about getting older are starting to come true for me. Age does give you perspective, and with that perspective comes a calm new confidence...
If you haven’t noticed lately, I’m minorly obsessed with sun flares in my pictures. I’ve always thought they looked so beautiful and made pictures look so high fashion. I like to pr...
As we get closer and closer to move date, our apartment is getting closer and closer to looking like a disaster zone. Boxes are piled anywhere that doesn’t have furniture occupying the floor sp...
No one else knew, but in my own mind this outfit was my little statement. Sunday was our second to last day in our ward at church, and you’ve got one guess what I had to bust out… Yeah...
