Lifestyle

The stuff around the outfits. Home finds, easy recipes, the products I actually use, and the occasional overshare about mom life. Basically everything that makes the day run a little smoother (or at least funnier).

Whipped Hot Chocolate Recipe

Even at 35, I still love a warm cup of hot chocolate as soon as the temperatures start to fall. I’m not much of a TikTok person, but Madison informed me of the Whipped Hot Chocolate that’s taking place of the popular Whipped Coffee trend and we had to give it a try! It was…

Fall Table Refresh

I’m not usually one to do a big decor change for fall but this year I was feeling a little feisty. Now that I did an update and made my table look all pretty I’m half temped to try my hand at a Thanksgiving dinner. Finally after about 15 years of marriage I’ve mastered not…

Target Favorites for Fall

As soon as the clock struck midnight on September 1st I’ve been in fall mode. I’m hoping that our weather starts cooperating soon because I’m ready for the wardrobe refresh. Target is always my first spot to check out new arrivals. Since our weather is still pretty warm during the day I went with a…

Target New Arrivals for Moms

Target is probably the only store I actually enjoy strolling the aisles at. Unfortunately, here lately I haven’t been strolling the aisles anywhere so I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot of the goods at Target because of that. So, last week I sat down with my laptop, a glass of wine while…

DIY Tiki Torches

Have you caught on yet that I love spending time at home? Especially in the summer around the pool and patio. For the most part, as long as the sun is shining you’ll see me outside from starting the day with my morning coffee, tapping away on my laptop, afternoons by the pool, and evenings…

Sparklers & Sales- The Best of the 4th

I’m not sure about you, but I always feel like after the 4th of July summer is over. The one thing that’s good about the 4th besides fireworks, grilling, and pool days is the sales! This weekend is the best time to stock up on summer pieces before the inventory gets full of sweaters and…

Summer Reading List: Top 10 Summer Reads for Moms

Anyone else enjoy hanging out by the pool or on the porch with a good book in the summer? Believe it or not I never thought I enjoyed reading until probably 8 or 9 years ago when that taboo series came out and my sister in law twisted my arm to read it. Ok, maybe…

Father’s Day Gift Guide

I swear the holidays are sneaking up on me the past few months. I guess with our schedule pretty clear I haven’t been checking the my calendar that much. Father’s Day is just around the corner, and even though my dad is pretty simple to cover [peanut M&M’s and a bottle of Southern Comfort], the…

A Quick & Easy Summer Beauty Routine for Moms

I’m not sure about you, but I need that little bit of makeup to help me feel a little brighter and awake. The only downfall with summertime is it’s hot, most days are pool days and I don’t want to waste the “good stuff” to just sweat it off. I’ve scaled down my makeup routine…

Easter At Home

Something I’ve learned this Easter… Just because it’s different than what we’re used to doesn’t mean it’s all that bad. For the last 19 years, I’ve attended sunrise service with Andrew’s family followed by breakfast at church then dinner at my in-laws. The menu for breakfast has changed a bit, but other than that everything…

Snow Day – Boozy Hot Chocolate

Finally! After the groundhog saw his shadow, we had our first decent snowfall that resulted in no school followed by sled riding and hot chocolate. Obviously an impromptu snow day would result in this mama needing a drink mid-afternoon hence #boozyhotchocolate. I went with mixing something up with things I had on hand [that wasn’t…
