I’m getting so excited for Easter weekend! Not only does Ryan get half a day off, but I love seeing all of our family and spending time with the ones I love most! I’m really looking forward to celebrating this special holiday with Sophie since this will be her first Easter. Oh, and the best part? Her first little easter dress!
Too Early To Wear White?
My answer? NEVER! I love to wear white year-round! Plus, Easter is less than 2 weeks away so in my book, that is close enough to be totally acceptable. I found this adorable tank at TJ Maxx the other day and fell in love with it! I don’t wear a lot of linen because I hate to iron, but I loved this top too much to pass up. I wear tanks pretty much every day during the summer, so I know I will get a ton of use out of it this year.
Books and Coffee
Someone recently asked me how I deal with stress. I had to really think about it, because I try really hard not to focus on negative things. Of course, I am a woman and I think too much about things from time to time, but for the most part, I just stay busy. I’m a wife, mom and blogger, so it is not too hard to stay busy. I feel like I am always working on something. When I’m really feeling stressed though, I go for a jog, watch a movie or dive into a good novel. I have always loved getting lost in a good story. It is such an awesome (and healthy) escape. Lately though, I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to my growing stack of books.
21 Questions and Happy Friday
This week has been a little weird with the crazy weather. We had to move back some of our plans which have made the last 2 days completely insane. Needless to say, I am happy it is Friday and I am ready to head down south to celebrate some very special twins who are due to arrive in a couple of months and spend time with family and friends! For now though, Samantha tagged me in 21 Questions a couple of weeks ago so I thought today would be a fun day to answer these random questions and a few bonus ones from you! Here we go…
Spring Color Trends for 2016
If you’ve been hanging around my blog for a little while, you know how much I love fashion. I have many many different styles depending on my mood of the day, but I am usually in leggings and a tunic during the winter and fall months and in shorts and a tank or a dress during the spring and summer months. I was looking around at spring trends for the upcoming season and according to In-Style’s Top 10 Color Trends for Spring 2016, I think I’m going to like this years trends. I am a big fan of cheerful spring color. I love to wear bright and fun colors especially during the warmer months because they put me in a good mood and make me happy. Based on In-Styles top 10, I am most excited about Rose quartz, Iced Coffee, Lilac Grey and Buttercup! To me, these are classy and a little muted but still very springy and classy. I really love all the colors that will be popular this season and am so excited to start adding more color and prints into my wardrobe again.
Baseball Tee and New Nikes
Post contains affiliate links.
It has been a rainy and dreary week which is odd because normally that type of weather makes me want to be lazy, but I have been in quite the opposite mood. Maybe it’s the new Nikes? Maybe it is the fact that I have decided no matter how crazy life gets, I’m not going to let it get me down? I don’t know, but I feel really good.

Valentine’s Day Outfit
We celebrated Valentine’s Day on Monday night. The night of the monsoon, I’ll call it (since my super casual outfit if you follow me on Snapchat). Of course, the one night we go on a date (our first one in close to 2 months) it would be terrible weather. We were under a tornado warning up until 30 minutes before we left the house. Fortunately, my husband and I just laughed about it and went anyway. We had dinner at a Hibachi/Sushi place in town and then went to Books A Million. Why do all of our dates end there? Does that make us nerds? haha I think it is just nice to go look at books when the kids aren’t with us. That is the one place I will not take them with me. Why? Well, I did once and let’s just say we were there forever picking up books off the floor and putting them back on the shelf.
It was so nice to get out of the house for a bit – just the two of us and talk and spend quality time with one another. Quality time is my love language after all. This is the outfit I actually wore on Valentine’s Day to church. I found this blush top online at Nordstrom (they are having their big winter clearance sale) and had a fit over it! It is 3/4 sleeves so it will be a great top to wear through spring.

Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit
I love Valentine’s Day. I remember growing up that we always received candy and a small gift from my parents on Valentine’s Day morning and my siblings and I always enjoyed picking out our Valentine’s Day cards to pass out to our classmates and friends. We would decorate little brown bags and each child would receive a Valentine from all of their classmates. It was something I always looked forward to. Do kids still do that at school? I sure hope so!

Spring Fever
The last couple of days have been so much warmer and have given me a huge case of spring fever. Or, maybe it’s my actual fever that is giving me spring fever. Who knows? We just got back into town from my grandmother’s house in Florida and we all caught colds of some sort while we were there, so we are feeling pretty yucky. Good thing the weather matches our moods today – thank you rainy day! If you need us, we will be snuggling up with coffee, watching movies in bed most of the day. I’m not even ashamed to say I’ve been living in sweatpants the last 2 days. We have a full weekend ahead and I have to get us all feeling better.
So, while I’m battling my actual fever, let me share a few of my spring fever wishes:
Why Everyone Should Own Monochrome
The word monochrome itself refers to black and white photographs, but I have always been a huge fan of black white and gray clothing. Just take a peak into my closet! Most of my wardrobe consists of earth tones and monochrome with a few flairs of color mixed in. It has been really cold here the last couple of days. In fact, I couldn’t keep my eyes from watering while taking these photos. haha I am really wishing I had some gloves, but I do live in Alabama, so January is basically the only month I would ever wear them.
