Target Sandals – these are the most comfortable sandals ever. They don’t have the stiff bottom like most sandals – feels like memory foam – and I can walk forever in them. J Crew Denim Shorts – I hate shorts season! I have bigger legs and it’s hard to find shorts that fit around my thighs that aren’t too short – these are awesome! Surprisingly, the button fly is also more comfortable for me with high waisted denim. I think…

Matt’s birthday is July 3rd, so the holiday weekend is always a big one for us! We kicked things off by making Matt an ice cream cake. Avery has never helped me bake before and I didn’t know if she would be grabby – but she was so excited and totally content to watch Emerson. We used this recipe with gluten free Joe’s Joe’s, mint chip, and vanilla and it was great – hard to cut through the crust but…
We had an awesome family beach week at Oak Island! We usually go to Bald Head, but after 2.5+ hours in a hot mask in the ferry line (low capacity due to COVID) last year, we decided to take a year off (you have to book big beach houses a year in advance so we weren’t sure what this summer would be like). We loved experiencing Oak Island, especially because my in-laws will be moving there this year! There are…
Man, I really feel like life has been happening to me lately rather than feeling any sense of control. I can’t keep up! I’m really looking forward to finishing up work and reclaiming my evening time again. Despite the chaos, we’ve been doing lots of fun things since getting our vaccines!! We’ve gone out to dinner three times and it’s amazing! Spending one-on-one time with Matt and having a break from cooking, cleaning, and bedtime is so essential for my…
Meet Chester! We’ve been toying with the idea of getting a cat for a while (wish we had done it earlier in the pandemic!). I grew up with cats (I can count 6 during my 22 years) and knew I’d like one, but wasn’t sure how the girls would do. And Matt has never had a pet! We started looking around and talking to some of the local rescues. Turns out, it’s hard to find a cat that’s a good…
I thought it might be fun to share some spring favorites since the annual Friends & Family sale is coming up soon. Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be notified when it starts. First Date Lipstick – this is the perfect pink lipstick for spring. I’m not a huge lipstick person, but I may have to pull this one out for re-entry into the world (fingers crossed) or my first real date with Matt at an outdoor…
-I was late to the game with Schitt’s Creek, but I’m loving it. -I’m so excited that it’s warm enough to eat outside again!! We are SOO close to getting vaccinated and I cannot wait to have some date nights – we did get to go to the outdoor food hall when my mom was here last week. – I’ve been really liking Nourish Move Love workouts lately although I’m having a hard time finding time to workout these days.…
I can’t believe it’s been almost two month’s since I’ve written a post! It’s on my to-do list almost every week and here we are. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with trying to balance school psychology work with cleaning, kids, cooking, Beautycounter, and all the things. I never thought I could been this busy while barely leaving my house:) While I’m enjoying being back in the school psychologist world and using my brain for something different, it’s also distracting me…
Hey y’all. Taking a break from cleaning the house for the 100th time this week to type up this day in the life post. I’m finding my days have changed a lot since Avery has become mobile and I started a new job. Luckily, I have a break in work this week as I turned in two big reports last week! 7:30 – Avery was up from 2-3 crying on and off due to teething, so I was relieved that…
