Catching Up

October 7, 2015

This past week, I have felt myself falling so far behind – behind on my blog, behind on sleep, behind on my reading, behind on my social life and the list goes on. I have been trying to do so many things and throw myself into so much. My husband loves to stay busy. He thrives off of having “stuff” to do. I’m just not wired that way. I don’t mind staying home all day cleaning up and playing with the kids. I don’t feel like I have to be on the go all the time. In fact, when I do stay really busy for a period of time, I start to get really stressed out and tend to check out completely.

Luckily, this time I caught myself. I have felt like my head is spinning trying to keep up with my family and our daily to-dos and running on very little sleep right now is not helping at all. I haven’t been as patient, I’ve steered clear of messy situations instead of making myself available to help and I did not even exercise at all last week. It’s just not me. So, maybe I feel like by writing this out for all to see, I will be held accountable. Maybe I’m hoping this will wake me up or my sister will call me and give me a love pat and tell me to just relax for a day or two and turn it all off.

Our 4th anniversary is tomorrow! In some ways, I feel like we have been married much longer than that. Two kids will do that to you. Other days, it feels like we just started dating. It’s amazing how fast time flies and I really can’t believe we have accomplished so much in so little time. It has taken a lot of patience and a lot of hard work, but we are finally in a place where we feel totally content. For that, I am so thankful. Our home is full of love and the good Lord knows, I have needed that lately.

Ryan has seen that I needed to slow up and take a break for a little while now. Because he is awesome, he is taking me to Birmingham this weekend to celebrate our anniversary and my in-laws are even keeping our babies for us! I am beyond excited to have a little fun and spend some alone time with my hubby!

10 Things About Me

September 23, 2015

Post contains affiliate links.

I follow a lot of blogs. The ones that I read daily are mostly those who have been blogging since I started 3 years ago. They are my daily reads because I fell in love with them a long time ago and I feel like I’ve been right by their side since my beginning. I enjoy reading them because while they do fabulous fashion, make-up, and how-to posts, they are also real and honest. They share their lives and their opinions. As much as I love reading a great recipe or DIY, I really enjoy reading posts that allow me to get to know the person behind the blog. I want to feel like I know them if I’m going to read their blog regularly. Blogging is about relationships. It is a growing community and can be very overwhelming when you throw yourself into it. When you find a group that you connect with, you follow them. Learn from them. Grow with them. But most importantly, you build a relationship with them.

I have gained a few new followers lately, so I thought I would share a few facts about me! I haven’t done an “about me” post in several months, and I think it’s important you get to know me if you are going to be reading my blog. After all, it is my (third) baby. 🙂

1. I am a little O.C.D. about my house. I have to clean the kitchen, fold the laundry and clean off all the surfaces in my home before bedtime. However, I am terrible about cleaning the shower. That is the one chore I hate doing and rarely do.

2. I am an introverted extrovert. Until I started my psychology classes in college, I didn’t even realize you can be both, but you can, and I am. I scored almost 50% introvert and 50% extrovert on the scale of the test I took in my psych assessments class. Which reminds me, I have a degree in psychology from Auburn (in Montgomery) and I am seriously considering going back for my masters and maybe doctorate? The only thing holding me back is that thesis. Blah. And two little ankle biters. Speaking of…

3. I have 2 kids, but I would love to have 4. I’ve always said I want to have three and adopt one. I’ve wanted to adopt for as long as I can remember, and seeing more and more people doing it now has really encouraged me to do so. It is something I pray about every day. I’m having faith that God will lead the way if we are supposed to go down that path.

4. My favorite show in the entire world is Gilmore Girls. I love the fast paced verbal and the witty/sarcastic humor. Their jokes were always smart and sometimes over my head, but I loved trying to figure out what they were referring to, and often times have to google. I think it was a genius show that should have gone on for at least 3 more seasons.

5. I love fashion and my favorite types of posts to write and put together are fashion posts, although, I sometimes feel uncomfortable taking photos, fashion is something I am passionate about and I love being able to express myself in that way. I have many different styles. I love all things classy and girly, but I also love to rock the bohemian look. I am mostly casual, but I do enjoy dressing up from time to time. Growing up I wanted to be a fashion designer. I have had a love for style for as long as I can remember. By the age of ten I even had an entire “portfolio” of my designs. And yes, I still have it!

6. I am terrified of needles. I’m still pinching myself that I made it through 2 childbirths without dying of a heart attack. All I know is, I serve a big God and He definitely carried me through and gave me an enormous strength and peace through both of my experiences.

7. I have a younger brother and a younger sister, both of which started a blog recently. We are very close and I love that they have started blogs so that I can keep up with them.

8. Ryan and I love to travel. It is something we are very passionate about and would love to do more of. We have a couple of big trips planned over the next year, one to Europe next summer and another to California. We are still working out the details, but these trips have been in the works for the last 2 years now. It’s about time we go, don’t you think?

9. I was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama. While I love our city, i is definitely one that need a little love and TLC. We love living here because it is where we were raised and most of our family is here. It would be difficult to leave, although we have contemplated it many times.

10. I grew up dancing and through that lifestyle I grew a love and passion for fitness and exercise. I am addicted to it, but terrible when it comes to diet. I am constantly struggling to eat healthy. I don’t ever have any issues working out, but when it comes to eating a salad over pizza, I cave.

Some Fall Fashion Favorites

September 16, 2015

The last couple of days, we have experienced cooler weather! I have so enjoyed it and it has made running outside not only bearable but even enjoyable again. Also, Auburn and Florida won this weekend…barely. Thank goodness for that. Last weekend was so busy but fun. I participated in the local consignment sales this weekend and actually made more than I spent which is amazing. I bought the kids some great clothes for the fall and winter and spent very little money. It was really awesome.

Jewelry c/o Rocksbox // Top: c/o Shein // Leggings: Nordstrom // Booties: H&M

Because the weather has been so nice, I have finally been able to wear some of my favorite new fall clothes. A few of my favorites are:

The striped top. I know this is labeled as a dress, but because of the extremely high slit in it, I would never wear it as a dress. I know you don’t want to see my panties. I bought mine a size up so that I could wear mine with leggings and it cover my butt (because I cover) and because comfort is key! #SAHM, but I could have probably stuck with my normal size because it is a loose fitting “dress.” I am so glad that the stripes trend is being carried over to fall. It is such a classy look that I’m not entirely sure it ever goes out of style, so stripes are a safe purchase in my opinion and not as much a trendy thing.

Fringe. I love these fringe booties that I scored from H&M at 30% off a few weeks ago! They are so comfortable and fun.

Layered jewelry. You don’t have to keep the layering to clothes. I love layering jewelry (when I remember to put it on). I love to layer my necklaces, bonus points when the necklace is already layered like this one from my Rocksbox! Speaking of, you can get your first month free using code: ‘Loganbff19.’

I’ve also got my eye on this plaid Madewell dress! Ooo la la! You know how I love my plaid!

You Might Be A Bootaholic If…

September 9, 2015

My friends, family, husband and wallet know how much I am obsessed in love with boots. Tall boots, ankle boots, open toes, pointy toes, cowgirl boots, rain boots, I love them all. After buying 2 pair of booties this summer when I already have a closet full of them, I noticed I had a little problem. Awesome problem? Sure. But a problem nonetheless. Here are the symptoms to diagnose whether or not you are a bootaholic.

Brown: Old, Similar here: Target // Fringe: H&M // Belted: Target // Putty Fringe: Nordstrom

1. You have a closet full of boots but you continue to buy more.

2. It’s the middle of summer, everyone is going to the beach and you are thinking about fall so that you can wear your favorite shoes.

3. Yes, you have brown boots, but you don’t have brown boots with fringe. New boots.

4. You feel like a good pair of boots are a necessity and not a frivolous expenditure.

5. You find a pair of boots that you love and you buy them in every color.

B. A. Meetings every Monday night at 9p.m.

So, Are you a bootaholic?

Fall Vibes

August 26, 2015

I received product for this post, but opinions are my own.

Dress : Glamorous // Boots: Sam Edelman // Bag: Nine West via TJ Maxx // Necklace, Bangle and Earrings: c/o Rocksbox

When I returned from my cruise last week, I came home to my first Rocksbox! I was so excited to see what was in my first box! I had added way too many pieces to my wishlist this month and I refrained from taking a peek at my box online, so it was truly a surprise.

If you aren’t familiar with Rocksbox, it is a subscription box that allows you to rent an unlimited amount of designer jewelry for a limited fee every month. You can keep the jewelry as long as you want, but when you are ready for a different set, you simply send the box back and your personal stylist will send you a brand new box. Pretty neat, right? If you fall in love with any of the pieces you receive, you can buy them at a discounted price.

I wore my new jewelry with this fun long-sleeved dress that I bought back in March. I absolutely love it! I was shocked to wake up to extremely pleasant weather yesterday morning and couldn’t wait to wear it! I feel like this is a great summer to fall transition outfit.

I am SO ready for fall weather and getting this little tease made me dream of pumpkin spiced lattes and Halloween decorations. I may have even ordered Sophie-Rae’s Halloween costume. Not that I’m excited or anything…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

August 4, 2015

This post contains affiliate links.

As an early birthday present this year, Ryan spoiled me a little bit by letting me snag some goodies from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I am so excited and have already worn a couple of my new pieces. I couldn’t possibly wait until fall! I also splurged and bought SR a little winter dress. I LOVE it! I can just see it now with some little white tights and booties!

Unfortunately, the prices on the new fall items have gone back up, but you should still check them out! Some of the things I bought are not too terribly expensive and they are all really worth the splurge! Here is what I scored from the sale:

Booties
Rayne Tassel Necklace by Kendra Scott
Dylan Stone Pendant Necklace (in Emerald)
Arden Cuff by Kendra Scott
Sweater
Lush Tunic
Everly Dress (in black)
Zella Leggings
Pink Baby Dress

Did you buy anything from the sale? What were some of your picks?

Fall Fashion Wish List

September 24, 2014

I’m pretty sure I could be the poster child for H&M. Most of my wardrobe is from there. I have an online ordering addiction when it comes to this store. No, I am not getting paid for this post, I just really love their clothes. The prices aren’t terrible either.

A couple of these pieces I mayyy have already purchased. You have already seen my wool hat, and you will see more in the future (when it cools off a bit around here).

What is on your wish list this season?

Wake Me When It’s Cardigan Season

The cooler temps have been so wonderful this week, however, I am really ready for fall weather! Highs in the 60s weather. You know what I mean? I’m ready to wear my cardigans and be comfortable. I was definitely sweating taking these pictures. Not so glamorous.

I’m loving this cardigan, but I am really ready for appropriate weather to be able to wear it properly. So, wake me when it’s cardigan season. Happy Friday!

What are your plans this weekend? Has it cooled off in your neck of the woods?

Plaid

We are less than a week away from the first official day of fall and it is finally starting to cool off here this week with a “cold front” coming in! The highs are in the 80s and lows in the 60s. I’ll take it! It has been a huge relief. It has made my morning runs more enjoyable and has allowed me to finally wear some of the fall clothes I’ve been dying to get into!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you already know how much I love fall and booties. I’ve said it a time or two. You might not, however, know my love for plaid. Fall? Summer? Christmastime? Plaid all the time. I love to decorate with touches of plaid, I love my boys in plaid and I really love to wear it.

I love the colors in this top from OASAP. I’m definitely loving gray and navy this fall season. Navy is a great color for fall. In fact, I just bought a gorgeous Essie nail color in a similar shade. I also love the color navy because of Auburn. I do love my War Eagles almost as much as I love my Gators. But, that’s a story for another time.

Do you wear plaid? What is your favorite fall color?

Proud Supporter of Messy Hair and Sweat Pants

September 12, 2014

I received products as compensation for this review and giveaway. Opinions are 100% my own.

baseball tee: c/o windsor here

keds: dsw

shorts: old navy

As a new mom, my wardrobe, most days, consists of yoga pants and T-shirts. As much as I love to get dressed up, it’s really hard to get motivated to dress nice knowing I will be working from home all day and chasing around a 10 month old. Let’s be real. I normally have spit up, pee and some kind of food on me by 9am. Because of this, it is with great honor and pleasure that I received this adorable baseball tee to wear. It is my anthem now days, after all.

I am a proud supporter of messy hair and sweat pants. Don’t believe me? Show up at my house when we aren’t expecting you. No further proof needed. 😉

I am in love with this top! It is so soft and comfortable! Perfect for every day. It’s so cute and can be styled a million different ways. It can be worn with jeans, yoga pants, sweat pants, black pants or shorts and the list goes on. It is so versatile and I mean, come on. Every mom needs one.

I love to add accessories to my wardrobe as well. I have only recently started accessorizing more. I have seen so many cute bags/purses/jewelry that it’s tough to resist it. Isn’t this clutch so adorable? Guess what? It is up for grabs! That’s right! Windsor is giving it away to one of my lucky readers! Just enter in the rafflecopter below:
