One of my favorite trends over the last couple of years has been the graphic tee! I love all the different ways I have seen others style them and I think it can be so fun and creative to wear them many different ways. Knotted over body con dresses, worn under a blazer, simple with denim shorts, and so on. I am a huge fan of 70’s and 80’s rock and roll, so all of the band tees are giving me life as well! I recently bought this Queen tee and have a similar Stones tee that I have loved wearing this summer. I look forward to continuing this trend into the fall. Here are a bunch of my favorite graphic tees (most under $20):

Life Update:

It has been so long since I did any sort of a life update on the blog! I really need to get in the habit of doing this more often, but to be honest, our world was turned upside down again after little Tucker was born. He is a great baby, but getting used to not sleeping again has been tough. He currently has a double ear infection which is not helping matters, but man that face is worth every second I’m not sleeping! haha We have a crazy but fun July planned and I am so excited to go on vacation as well as cover the Nordstrom Sale again this year! Next week I am planning a fun post that has been in the works for a while and I also have an Amazon finds post (you guys have been loving those) coming up soon!

I know y’all are counting down the days until the 4th of July (as am I)! I am looking so forward to spending time with friends and family coming into town. Don’t forget to check out my post on patriotic tees so that you can have the perfect outfit for the 4th! I hope y’all have a great weekend and I will see you guys back here on Monday!

Save the date and start saving your money! We are less than three weeks away from the biggest sale of the year! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins July 12th at 12:30p.m. ET. for early access and opens to the public July 19th!

If you remember last year (and previous years) things tend to sell out during early access, so I recommend you get a Nordstrom card TODAY so that you can start shopping on July12th during early access! Things do not always restock and last year some of the most popular items sold out and never came back. You get 3 points for every dollar spent on your Nordstrom card and can get Nordstrom notes quickly! That is one of my favorite perks of the card!

• 

Game plan for the sale:

• Get the card here TODAY so that you can shop early access!
• Make a list of fall essentials you need this year (boots, leggings, cardigans, winter coats, etc.).
• Shop online and choose to pick up in store.
• Shop your must haves first and check out quickly!
• Pray Nordstrom’s site doesn’t crash like it did last year!
  

You can preview the sale catalog here!

During the sale, I love to grab leggings, workout clothes and sneakers, boots, denim, Basic tees, cardigans, sweaters and a jacket/coat! Basically, all the essentials for fall!

Set your alarms for July 12th and don’t forget to get your Nordstrom card today! In the meantime, check out these awesome summer sales!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great Father’s Day weekend! We spent the day by the pool and it was perfect! Family time and lots of laughter is so good for the soul. This post has been one sitting in my drafts for a long time and I wrote it months ago, rewrote it and then this morning, I rewrote it again. The life of an enneagram 6…always overthinking. Let me be the first one to admit that trust is not something that comes easy to me. It is something I have to work on daily and be intentional about. I am constantly reassuring myself and needing constant reassurance from my husband. It is annoying (even for me at times) but it is how I am wired. I am not wise in this area, but after quite a bit of reading and research on the subject of trust and marriage, I feel prepared to share this list. If it is something you struggle with or if you are going through a rocky time in your marriage or maybe even a newlywed or newly engaged, my hope is that this will be a helpful starting point for you! I urge you to read what the bible says on the subject and to seek wise counsel. 

When Ryan and I first got engaged, I read about five marriage books. I studied what the bible said on marriage. I wanted to know what I was getting into and wanted to feel as prepared as possible for that big life-altering step. I talked to older and wiser people about marriage, asked for advice and then some! I was sure I wanted to spend my life with him, but I wanted to do it right. I wanted (and still do) our marriage to be forever. Everyone had the same answers – keep God at the center of your marriage, communication is key and trust is vital. 

How to Build Trust In Marriage:

Be open and honest with one another – even when it is hard.

Respect one another.

Communicate often, more often, and then some more.

Spend quality time together.

Be reliable – Don’t say it unless you plan to follow through with it.

Be quick to forgive (and apologize when you have done wrong).

Be genuine.

Manage your expectations with yourself and your spouse.

Show integrity – keep things private that your spouse has asked you to.

Take responsibility for your words and actions.

I found this quote and absolutely loved it and thought it would be the perfect way to end this post. “Real trust is not a trust that waits and hopes but a trust that acts from who you truly are. Real trust requires the discipline of being who you are in every circumstance and in every relationship. Real trust begins with yourself.”

Happy Friday, friends! I am sharing a loft try on in stories today, so don’t miss out on that. I am also sharing some other deals and sales going on this weekend – there seem to be quite a few that are really good! For now, here are a few of my favorite things from the week and weekend sales:

I am such a sucker for anything holiday related. Give me a reason to celebrate and I am going all out. Finding cute patriotic tees for myself and my family are a must every year! There are a few that I love (but can’t link) from United Monograms this year as well, so you should definitely check them out (here)! I found some great patriotic tees (most of them are under $20) that would be super cute thrown over a swimsuit or worn with denim shorts to whatever festivities you will be attending this year!

I love putting together reading lists for y’all and this one is one of my favorites every year! Summer reading is my favorite. There is nothing like being on a beach somewhere and diving into a good story…or if you are like me this year, you are more likely on your couch reading and feeding the baby. haha Either way, it is so nice to get lost in a good book during the sweet summertime. I am about halfway through my second book so far and have ordered a couple of these on my list to read next! A few of these were suggestions by this community and I have come to really appreciate when you give me suggestions because you guys are way more in the know that I am on things and I always love reading and trying things y’all suggest to me! With that being said, Where the Crawdads Sing was the #1 suggested book by you guys, so I think it is safe to say that you should definitely read that one! I ordered it and can’t wait to read it next.
