Hey moms! I wanted to talk specifically to you today about a little thing called motivation. Since having Weston, I have really struggled to get motivated. Everyone told me that the third baby is the one that gets you – they were right! This third one has been a lot more difficult in many ways – not the baby, but my body, pregnancy and postpartum. The weight has not come of like it did with the other two, but I think a big reason for that is the simple fact that I have not worked out like I did the other two times. So, I want to encourage you while I try to encourage myself to get motivated and do something about it!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchases
Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Day! The sale is finally live to the public and I am so excited about all of the restocks! I want to preface this post by saying I purchased a lot of things at the sale, but I am not keeping it all. I will return probably half of this. The store I went to did not have many of the things I wanted online, and because Nordstrom offers free returns, I went ahead and purchased online and will try it on at home, then decide what to keep and what to return. This year, I was shopping mainly for basics: jeans, tees, cardigans, boots and pajamas (I desperately need some new ones). I like to buy staples and not buy too many trendy pieces. Although, I am sure I will keep a couple of the trendy tops to enjoy throughout the year. So, here are my purchases and my absolute favorite things from the sale!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dressing Room Try On
Hey, y’all! As promised, I am sharing my entire dressing room try on from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and a few from home where I tried on a few of the pieces I ordered that have already come in! I absolutely love so many things in this year’s sale and it will be difficult to decide what to keep and what to return. I hope this helps you with sizing and fit! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Also, keep checking my Facebook page and Instagram for restock updates and sale picks! Shop the entire sale here!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Outfit and Jax Beach
We just got back from our trip to Jacksonville late Monday. We had so much fun visiting my family there. As my grandparents get older, it is more and more important for me to go often and I have tried to do a better job of that. It is a long road trip with our little ones, but it is more than worth it! I got to do a little Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping whole there, and I can’t wait to show you a couple of things I got in the store!
Top (only $26)// Shorts c/o // Shoes (Under $50) // Bag (Under $55)// Watch c/o

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites
Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Day!!! Did anyone else stay up until 3a.m. to shop? Well, I did – but for you guys, obviously. Not at all for myself. It was purely business. 😉 I am so excited to go to the store later this morning, but I stayed up to round up my favorites because they are selling out FAST! And I mean, why wouldn’t they? The sale is amazing this year! To give you a quick run down, velvet, ruffles, cold shoulder, off-shoulder, ripped denim, bell sleeves, military jackets and boots is what you will see this year. Very similar to last year, but more so. Does that make any sense at all? It’s 3a.m. guys. Let’s just get to the good stuff, shall we?

Favorites under $100:
Shoes:

Three Dresses That Can Transition Into Fall
It’s no secret around here that fall is my favorite season. Getting ready for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (tomorrow!) has me feeling SO excited for fall! Not to mention I’m sort of over all this heat. Fall fashion is my favorite. I love the darker hues and the warmth of the cozy styles. I am looking forward to styling some new pieces for you in the coming days! Until then, I thought it would be fun to share these three dresses that I have recently purchased to carry me through the last few weeks of summer and the first part of fall!
Five Things You Need to Know About This Week
Happy Monday! No weekend update, today. We basically cleaned, hosted a cookout for my mom’s birthday Friday night, went to a kid’s birthday party on Saturday and did a lot of laundry, but I feel like I am starting off on a clean slate. There is something about a (semi-) clean house that get’s me all excited and ready for the week! Today, I want to tell you guys about a few things you need to know about this week. I did this a couple of months ago, and y’all really enjoyed it, so I wanted to do another! Here we go!
First off, Amazon Prime Day starts TONIGHT at 8p.m. EST. I can’t wait to see the deals and will let you guys know about my favorites! I’m not sure if I’m going to write a dedicated blog post on them yet or not, but I might decide to if it is too good to handle.
Friday Favorites and POPSUGAR Must Have Box
Good morning and happy Friday! I love a short week after a holiday, don’t you? It has been really tough getting back into the swing of things this week, so I’m hoping I can get my act together this weekend! Although, we are going on vacation again this week, so who knows? I am really excited for the weekend and hopefully catching up on laundry and cleaning up after a crazy week so that we can go out of town again! Until then, here are some Friday Favorites and my June POPSUGAR Must Have Box review:
ONE.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins THURSDAY!! Eeekk! If you aren’t already a cardholder or don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, read this post and apply for one TODAY because it’s the last day to get it in time for this year’s sale! I have been pouring over the catalogue and am already picking out some pieces for fall! I can’t. wait. We will actually be in Jacksonville for the first day of the early access sale, and I will definitely do a little try on session for y’all on Insta-stories so be sure to follow along on Instagram if you aren’t already!
TWO.
Aveda sent me some products this week and I have been using the Be Curly like crazy! I have loved it because it doesn’t made my hair hard- like some gels do, and it isn’t too sticky. It is great for days that I want to give my hair a break from the heat.
THREE.
One of my best friends moved to NYC last year and she came over for a visit yesterday! We had so much fun! She also has three kids three and under (in NYC!! Supermom!). I really enjoyed catching up with her. It’s great having a friend who 100% gets what you’re going through. haha
FOUR.
You may notice my tabs changing over the weekend. I am excited to change things up a bit and hopefully help you guys find things a lot easier! I will give you a little tour once I’m finished on my Insta-Stories, so be on the lookout!
FIVE. (I was sent this box to review. Get $5 with code SHOP5)
My POPSUGAR Must Have box came in the mail this week! It was such a good one, and I swear, it’s like they know when I am going on vacation. I will be loading up this box to take with me to the beach the week. Here are the items in the June POPSUGAR Must Have Box:
Captain Blankenship Mermaid Sea Salt Hair Spray // Aloha Collection Mid-size Ocean Coco Palms Pouch // Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink // Belgian Boys Mini Cookie Stash // Billabong Aloha Trucker Hat // NCLA So Rich – Mermaid Tears (cuticle oil) // The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo Novel // MERI MERI Blue and White Party Straws
Top (my favorite right now)
Seriously, it’s like a beach vacay in a box. I am in love with the hat! It is so adorable and perfect for the summertime. I am also excited to take the wet bag with me to the beach and to leave it in my pool bag at home! I know we will get a lot of use out of it. I am really excited to try the sea salt spray because y’all know how crazy my hair can be – especially in the salty air.
As I prepare for the Nordstrom Sale, I want to know what you guys want to see! Round ups? Styled posts? Holiday gift guides, beauty products? Let me know and I’ll add it to my calendar! Have a great weekend!
