UGH! The MEN! Why are they so hard to shop for?! I feel like the gifts are the same every year.. a pair of slippers or a new jacket. And yes, I included those in this post because some men LOVE it, want it, need it! And the ones I linked are fantastic options.. classic and well made. But what about the rest of the dudes who are impossible? Well, I asked my husband.. the man who buys himself … [Read more...]

While most of us won't be attending company holiday parties or large gatherings like we're used to, we can still make the most of this festive time of year. We are currently in lock down and our events have been cancelled until at least the middle of December but I think it's so important to have things to look forward to right now and the holidays are always magical, especially with the kids! … [Read more...]

With Thanksgiving only a little over a week away, I thought I'd share some inspiration ideas to elevate your tablescape this year. It doesn't need to be anything over the top and expensive.. adding candles, napkin rings, and glassware is the perfect way to accent your table. I like to keep my napkins neutral so I can use them year round and spruce up the table with florals or a decorative … [Read more...]

Jackson and I ventured to the mall last week and seeing all of the holiday decor, hearing the Christmas music, and smelling the Bath and Body works candles really put me in the spirit of the holidays. After getting him a new skateboard (the newest obsession) and a lollipop to keep him happy, we wandered into Aerie and I didn't see an item I didn't want to buy. But most of all, I couldn't help but … [Read more...]

H E A T H E R Plaid Shackets: This one shouldn't be a surprise if you look at our Insta feed, I'm in plaid 99% of the time. I love a regular plaid shirt but a shacket takes it to the next level because it can be worn as a jacket and layers perfectly during October and November. Can't get enough of these and constantly on the hunt for my next one.. I just ordered this one because it's always … [Read more...]

Made the most of Halloween 2020 with Parker the dolphin aka worst costume ever and he knew it.. poor guy. Quarantine exhaustion has officially set in and I think everyone is desperate to make life feel normal again. Our corner of the country is still very much feeling the effects of COVID with no end in sight. And I'll admit, seeing everyone else's Instagram reel of sending their kids off to … [Read more...]

Happy November 1st! We made a point to try and take the kids to do one fun fall activity a week. Here is a photo dump of all the things we've been up to and checking off our fall to-do list. The kids have been having fun and soaking up the season. I know so many people are taking down their Halloween decorations today and gearing up for Christmas, but it's still Fall! These are all still … [Read more...]

hat | sunglasses | cardigan (similar) | jeans I am seeing more and more "dramatic" type cardigans to really elevate the basic look. My girl Cortney at The Grey Edit talks about elevated basics all of the time and it inspired this post. Instead of wearing your standard BP cardigan (which don't get me wrong, I have it in multiple colors and there is a time and a place for that numbaaaa), … [Read more...]

Time to bust out the boots! Whether you're in Southern CA, the midwest, Seattle, or somewhere in between these boots will get you through the damp months ahead. I just purchased these rain proof Uggs in black because I think they are the most comfortable boot ever. Perfect for rainy days of running errands or walking around outside when I'm chasing the kids. They also look really cute with … [Read more...]
