A Lifestyle Blog about Marriage, Parenting, Fashion and Fitness

Seven Years

Seven Years. It has been SEVEN years and one month since I published my first blog post. I started before scheduling a post was a thing. Before Instagram. Before anyone really knew much about blogging in general. I can still name a handful of the girls that were also blogging and that I talked to back then and all but one are still blogging and successful to this day. I started back when I was going through infertility. Maybe some of you remember reading about that a long time ago, but for the newbies, that is basically why I started. We had been married nearly one year, decided to start trying and then ran into some issues and it was a very dark time for me, so to distract myself, I started writing. It was so helpful and gave me an amazing outlet during that time but I never would have imagined it would turn into what it is today and I have you to thank for that.

To me, you all feel like old friends. I feel like I can talk freely to you and that you care. I love to talk about fashion and babies and marriage with you guys. I love to celebrate wins with you and cry with you over losses. You have been here through nearly my entire marriage and through all four of my babies (God is so good).

I want to be transparent now. A few weeks ago, I confessed to Ryan that I wasn’t happy with my blog. I haven’t grown much over the last couple of years despite hard work and effort. I have started doing more fashion related content and while I do love fashion and have a huge passion for it, there is so much more to my life and at the end of the day, my closet is a tiny, tiny fraction of that. My kids and family and friends are my world. I love to read and write and I miss doing that. It is therapeutic for me and I haven’t just sat down to write in a very long time – until now.

With that being said, I wanted you to know that I am planning to share a lot more marriage and family content on here again. I am planning to get back to recipes, sharing our life, motivation, a little fitness (more on this soon) and more! I am sorry for getting so off track lately, but to be honest, fashion is easy. People love to see it on Instagram and it is easier to sit down for 20 minutes to throw a try-on post together rather than an hour or two working on a well-written post. Now that the kids have started school and we are getting into a new routine, I am planning to sit and write every single day. I don’t promise a post every day, but will try to be more consistent in posting Monday, Wednesday and Fridays again. I am sorry for being super inconsistent over the past 5 months, but honestly, life since having Tucker has been very demanding. I am working on getting back to a healthier me and a healthier routine which starts with this. And water. And movement.

I will continue to share fashion throughout – maybe once a week or so, but for the most part, I want to get back to blogging. Really writing and connecting with you all, because that is why I started this in the beginning and what I love to do most of all. Thank you for sticking around and sticking with me through the craziness of life.

Now, I would love it if you would let me know what kind of fall content you want to see from me this upcoming season! Let me know in the comments or shoot me an email! Thank you for hanging out with me over the last seven years. It is truly humbling and I am so thankful for each and every one of you! Until next time…

Old Navy Fall Try On

I know, I know, I’m back with another Old Navy try on, but y’all voted for more Old Navy on stories by a landslide, so this time I am sharing full on fall pieces instead of just transitional pieces because I have been very excited to start sharing some sweaters! I am also excited to share two tops that work really well with the Spanx faux leather leggings that several of you purchased during the NSALE this year! Keep scrolling and make sure to read the sizing information because a couple of things run small. Now I’m ready for fall…if only the weather would get there!

Top – TTS // Jeans (not Old Navy) – TTS // Shoes – TTS

Tunic – TTS // Faux Leather Leggings – If in between, size up // Booties – TTS

Tunic Sweater – TTS, if in between, size up // Faux Leather Leggings – If in between, size up// Booties – TTS // Hat

Tunic Sweater – TTS, if in between, go up // Skirt – TTS, if in between, size down (it’s super stretchy) // Booties – sized up half a size

Leopard Pullover – TTS, size up for more length

Halloween Tee – TTS

Sweater – TTS // Jeans – Size up if you have any curves, I sized up one // Booties – size up half a size // Hat

Cardigan – TTS // Tee – TTS // Skirt – TTS, if in between, size down // Booties – sized up half a size // Hat

Back to School Lunch Ideas

We are starting school this week and I am having all the feelings, y’all! My oldest baby is off to kindergarten and I had no idea that I would be this emotional about it. While it is an emotional time, we are very excited for this new chapter and already love his school and the people there so much. So many of our close friends and some of our family go there, so I know we will feel right at home there. I asked you ladies on Instagram the other day what you liked to pack in your kid’s lunch because I am trying to branch out a little bit this year (at least for the first part until I totally resign and stick to PB&J every day). Some of your ideas were really great, so I thought I would share them to give you guys some ideas if you get stuck like I do.

Lunch Ideas:

The most common answer was a sandwich!
Chicken Salad and crackers
Salad with fruit
Hotdog
Waffles and Bacon (Breakfast Food)
Turkey Wraps
Pasta Salad
Spaghetti
Chicken Nuggets
Leftovers from the night before (I am PRO this idea)
Soup
Cheese and Crackers
Pizza

Lunch Sides and Snacks:

Grapes
Apple slices
Carrot sticks
Pretzels
Veggies and hummus (or ranch)
Almonds
Pumpkin seeds
Bananas
Chips
Yogurt
Apple Sauce
Cheese Stick
Popcorn
Teddy Grahams
Granola Bars

There are a couple of kids in Sophie’s class who are highly allergic to peanuts and dairy, so we are trying to get creative with the lunches she can take. It’s tough because she loves PB&J sandwiches and is not a big meat eater. We are going to try this peanut butter substitute and I will report back with how she likes it!

I hope this list was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other ideas that I can add to this list for everyone! If you have already started school, I hope it is off to a great start, and if you are starting back this week, I will be standing there holding tissues with you praying for our babies to spread their wings and fly. Okay, now that I am getting cheesy and cliche, I’m calling it a day.

I have been very excited to share these recent finds from Old Navy and since sharing these, I took advantage of their sale and grabbed a few other things that I will share soon with y’all! I love shopping at Old Navy during the fall season! They have some really great pieces and their sale prices are so good! If you add a denim jacket, these would all be very teacher appropriate. I hope you enjoy these outfits I put together for you!

Target Try On August

I went into Target the other day to grab some soap and baby stuff and somehow ended up trying on a ton of clothes! I am loving their fall line! They have some really great pieces at amazing prices. I especially loved seeing that our Target store has a breastfeeding room with plugs for a pump and comfortable chairs. Way to go, Target! I hope you enjoy this impromptu Target try on!

Back To School Supplies For Boys, Girls and Teachers

Growing up, back to school shopping was always my favorite thing to do. I loved preparing for the year and picking out new shoes and clothes and backpacks, etc. It was like Christmas. This year, Hampton is starting Kindergarten, Sophie will be in K4 and Weston will be starting MMO for the first time. We have been shopping for all the back to school supplies, clothes, shoes and everything else they need this year, so I thought I would put a few of my favorite finds into a post for y’all! I even included a section for teachers or working moms! I am dying over these LV dupe lunch boxes and backpack!

I hope you all have a great start to your school year and that this post is helpful in your back to school shopping! Everything is Amazon prime and ships in 2 days if you are last minute shopping(like me ;))

American Eagle and Aerie Try On: Part 2

I am so excited to share part 2 of my American Eagle and Aerie try on today! This was one of my favorite try ons I’v done this year. I am such a sucker for the comfortable styles that Aerie offers. Here are a few things to note for the try-on:

I am wearing a Medium in everything unless otherwise specified. I am currently a size 6 and between a small and medium but prefer a loose fit, so I typically go with mediums in this brand. Let’s do this…

Top // Shorts

Tee // Shorts // Sneakers – TTS

Tee // Shorts

Tee – Sized up one

Sweater // Jeans // Boots

Sweatshirt // Camo leggings // Sneakers – TTS

American Eagle and Aerie Try On: Part 1

I did not have enough time to film the entire American Eagle and Aerie try-on, so Part two will have to wait until next week. For now, all of these are on sale and the jeans are BOGO 50% off today! You can also get an extra 25% off everything when you shop through the app! Such an amazing deal! I am obsessed with all the leopard print and camo that they have released for fall and look forward to sharing the rest of my try on with y’all next week. Thank you for shopping through my links!

Leopard Sweatshirt (wearing Medium fits oversize) // Jeans (Size down in the curvy option) Jeans are BOGO 50% off today! // Shoes (NSALE finds that are low in stock. TTS)

Sweatshirt (Wearing Medium TTS) // Leggings (TTS) // Shoes (TTS)

Top (TTS – wearing Medium) // Leggings (TTS – wearing Medium) // Shoes (TTS)

Off-shoulder Sweatshirt (TTS – Oversized fit) // Leggings (TTS – wearing Medium) // Shoes (TTS)

Tee (Sized up one – cropped fit) // Flare Leggings ( TTS – wearing Medium)
I am returning the tee because I didn’t love the fit, but I love the neon colors in it. I am obsessed with these flare leggings. They remind me of my old jazz pants but are a super soft fleece material.

Tucker’s 3 Month Favorites

I can’t believe our sweet boy is 3 months old (and really close to 4 months, now)! He has truly been a light in our life since he was born and has brought so much joy to us! He is happy little guy (most of the time ;)) and has the sweetest personality. He reminds me so much of Weston, but also gives us some Hampton looks pretty often. He is the perfect baby to complete our family. Even as I write that, I am apprehensive because I am having a hard time saying that he is our last, but he is (unless a miracle occurs).

Cuddle and Kind Doll c/o

Life since having our sweet boy has been another big adjustment. I feel like every time anyone has a child, the entire family goes through an adjustment period and we are still in ours if I’m being completely honest. I have been nervous about school starting up and trying to get everyone on a schedule that works. It is a lot with young kids. I am so outnumbered, but we have fun with it. In addition to giving you guys a brief update, I wanted to share some of our 3 month favorites!

Like Weston, Tucker LOVES sleeping in the Dockatot! This thing is a lifesaver. If you are currently expecting, I can not recommend this enough. We also love these swaddles and this sleep sack. He used the sleep sack the first couple of months, but has outgrown it, so I need to buy him the next size up. We also love these classic sleepers because they are just easy and so affordable. For babies this age, I think simple is best. I don’t like to buy the expensive sleepers because they WILL stain and the baby outgrows them so fast. It’s not worth the money.

I also can not recommend the Haakaa manual breast pump enough! It is AMAZING and every breastfeeding mom needs one or two! They are extremely affordable and I take mine with me everywhere! Here are some more of Tucker’s favorites:
