It’s here! The most anticipated sale of the year – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, that is. This is bigger than Christmas, folks! At least, it is for me! If you aren’t familiar with the sale, Nordstrom puts their brand new fall items on super-sale for two weeks (three if you are a cardholder). It is a great time to rack up on name brand items and fall staples! Ryan gave me my (early) birthday gift in the form of money for my birthday this year, just so I could spend a little extra at the sale. Did anyone else stay up way too late to shop? I had a little too much fun! So, without further ado, here are some of my absolute favorite sales. (Can I have one of each, please?)

While I’m going to wait and share my purchases once they come in, I will spoil one surprise and say that I FINALLY snagged these boots in oatmeal. This color was exclusive only at Nordstrom last year, and every time it came back in my size, they would sell out faster than I could buy them. It was depressing. When I saw them in the catalog, I knew that would be my priority purchase this year, and I got them!!

Today is the first day of the early access sale (for lucky cardholders) and the sale opens to the public on July 22nd! So, if you are not a cardholder, you can start making your lists to help you shop the best deals before they sell out.

Happy FriYAY, friends! I am pretty excited that it is the weekend. We have had a great week, but this mama is tired and ready for some R&R! Yesterday, we made all of the selections for our new house and were told the foundation will be poured next week! We are so excited and I am very thankful that things are working out the way they are. See? God always has a better plan for us even when we can’t see it at the time. This is completely different than what we thought we were going to do in the beginning, but it is working out to where our kids will be in a great school zone and the school is literally 2 blocks from our house, so we can walk Hampton to kindergarten (in a couple of years) which will be so nice! There is even a park, pool and splash pad in our neighborhood, so I am beyond excited about those amenities!

I love Nordstrom, but a lot of times, I don’t love their prices. The is why I love this wonderful time of year when they decide to have their Nordstrom half-yearly sale! Out with the old and in wth the new! I love to score some great pieces during their sales. Below I am sharing a few of my favorite clothes and accessories. Most of my picks are accessories this year. I doubt I will be buying many clothes over the next few months, but I am going to have a hard time saying no to some of these shoes and bags! I. Want. Them. All.

Every Mother’s Day, we get the same gifts for our moms – flowers and photos. I think we have mixed it up a few times by adding a picture magnet of the kids or a small gift of some sort here and there, but for the most part, an updated photo of the kids and flowers are a ringer, right? Our moms love them and it makes gift-giving super easy on us. The only thing is, that gets sort of old and so this year I want to mix it up a little. If you are like me, you have probably been searching for the perfect gift for a couple of weeks now, but time is dwindling and it’s time to make a purchase. S, why not this beautiful KEEP Collective customized jewelry? I know you are thinking “Oh, Logan, don’t be a commercial trying to push your latest business venture on us,” BUT the only reason I started selling KEEP is because I have been so pleased with their jewelry and can’t get enough of it! This is such a great company and the jewelry is great quality!

It’s no secret around here how much I love rompers and jumpsuits and how much I love wearing Lilly Pulitzer. My hubby was so sweet and surprised me with this jumpsuit as an early Mother’s Day gift so that I could bring it with us to the beach! It was perfect and is so comfortable! It was great to have at the beach for the cooler night and the cold restaurants. I definitely got my Summer Lovin’ on this past weekend with our little beach getaway and everything about it was perfect.

It’s Friday! And, as if that wasn’t enough of a “happy,” we are heading to the beach today! Did I mention this is the first kid-free non-business trip we have taken since our 1st anniversary trip? Yeah, we don’t get out much. To say I am excited is an understatement. No diapers for 48 hours? Pinch me! I’ll miss my babies, but I am in need of some relaxation and it is coming at a great time! I’m looking forward to spending one on one time with my husband and coming back home feeling refreshed.

I am also very excited to announce that I am officially a Keep Collective Designer! I will be hosting my first social as a designer next Thursday, so if you want an invite, leave me a comment, message me on Facebook, email me, tweet me, whatever! I would absolutely love to have you join me! I am excited to design some beautiful jewelry for Mother’s Day (coming up May 8th, can you believe it?)! If you would like me to design something for you, let me know and I would be happy to do it! Also, I am drooling over Keep’s new summer collection! Can I just have one of each, please? That tassel charm is adorable!

If you guys follow me on Snapchat, you probably saw the snap of my thredUP box that came in the mail a couple of days ago! I have been shopping at thredUP now for a couple of years and they never disappoint. This wee was no exception! I scored a Lilly Pulitzer skort for under $22! I also snagged a Coach wristlet for $30! I absolutely love the amazing deals that they offer on my favorite brands that I can rarely afford to purchase at full price. My mission was simple: to find staple pieces to add to my spring wardrobe to complete my look for the season. I definitely feel like I did just that!

We were supposed to have our family photos done yesterday afternoon, but the weather was pretty ugly, so we rescheduled due to the lovely rain. In happier news, we played outside most of the day earlier this week and it was beautiful. It was cool and cloudy so it felt amazing. My little buddy and I went for a jog and spent the rest of our day playing with chalk, running through mud puddles and playing dress up (See Exhibit A on Snapchat: LoganCan). I also spent part of the day in my new favorite dress! Only part of the day because a lot of it was spent in nike shorts and a tee-shirt. Let’s be real. I love shopping for new dresses during the springtime that will get me through the hot summer days.

Now that spring break is officially over, I have been really itching to get down to the beach. We live about 3 hours away from Gulf Shores and about 4 hours from my favorite beach – Destin! This warmer weather has been calling my name. We weren’t able to go to the beach very much last year and it made me so sad. I love being there and I’m pretty sure I was born to be a beach girl. I love the feeling of sand between my toes and the soothing sounds of the waves. Nothing says relaxing like a comfy beach chair and my latest novel.

I have been getting flooded with emails lately from one of my favorite brands – Lilly Pulitzer (thank you for tempting me, ladies!). I normally only buy one or two pieces a year because they are so expensive and I love to wait for their end of season sales to really save money on their clothes. I don’t own a ton of LP, but what I do have, I love. I have been obsessing over their new arrivals this week and kind of want one of each. A girl can dream, can’t she? I love their clothes because they are so bright and cheery! They make me happy when I wear them and that’s what clothes should do, right? So, while my sister laughs at me for loving these crazy patterns so much, I’m going to keep on dreaming of owning more of them! Here are just a FEW of my favorites:

Well, I was really hoping we would all feel better by now, but unfortunately we are still under the weather. Playing outside last night in all of the pollen probably didn’t help. We were all yellow by the time we came back inside. Don’t you love this time of year in the south? I thought it would be fun to share a few of my current spring favorites today because I had a little fun perusing my favorite places to shop online and made an entire wish list because so many things stood out to me!
