A L I X Aerie Offline Leggings I'm always skeptical of "dupes" and I love my Lululemon Aligns so much, but these new Offline leggings are a great, significantly cheaper alternative. They fit great and feel like butter on just like the aligns. I bough them in two colors already (olive daze and relic) and will probably buy more when they come out with more colors/patterns. They do show … [Read more...]

sweater jeans boots Sweater weather is here.. in Washington at least! Sorry bout you California girls. You should just disregard any fall or winter post because it will be 80 until January ;) And even then it only dips to 70 when you slip on your Uggs. Mmmmmmk. Just don't let me catch you in uggs and a jean skirt or you're fired. A sweater with jeans and booties is my favorite look because … [Read more...]

free people tunic | jeans | boots Recently, I feel like most of my energy has been spent on getting the house together and decorated for fall and my fall fashion finds have taken a back seat. Well, fear not because that all changed over the past few days when I did some scouring for everything I feel like I'm missing in my wardrobe right now. From a new pair of combat boots (I know, not for … [Read more...]

I haven't done a motherhood update since Quinn turned 3 last summer, so now that we've entered what I like to call the "feisty fours" I thought it was time for an update! I also write these posts because I think it's helpful for other moms, that might be having similar challenges, to know they aren't alone and nothing is "wrong" with their child. General Thoughts: When Quinn hit ~3.5 I … [Read more...]

sweatshirt | leggings | sneaks | sunnies First of all, this post is in no way sponsored (I wish it was!) and these opinions are strictly my own based upon my experience over the last month :) I recently made the switch from the Apple Watch to the Garmin Venu and today I want to give my honest feedback and review of my new smart watch. Why did I make the switch? To be perfectly honest, it … [Read more...]

It's hard to believe that summer is coming to a close and crisp, cooler weather is on the horizon (if we could just get rid of this smoke). While 2020 hasn't been my favorite year ever, I never want to forget it either. It has taught me many lessons and forced me to slow down. It has shown me just how little I really need and as long as my family is healthy, we don't need much. I spent every … [Read more...]

I wear a combination of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings each day and for the most part a number of them don't come off even when I sleep or shower. These are quality pieces that can be layered or worn alone and think each is timeless and classic that will never go out of season or style. As you can tell, I'm a gold kind of girl but a number of these also come in silver or rose gold if … [Read more...]

A L I X Headbands I rarely do my hair these days, so a cute headband helps me feel a little more pulled together. It can also add a fun pop to a neutral outfit. Here are a few I really like for fall: Beauty Counter My post on Wednesday explained why and how I've taken steps to reduce toxic products in my house, so I've turned to Beauty Counter to help me because I know and trust … [Read more...]

Everything linked below :) We moved one month ago and while it will take time to make the house feel like a home, I feel like I've gotten a pretty good head start on the process and it's starting to take shape. I have spent a lot of time hitting up every Home Goods and Target in my area and decided to share some easy and inexpensive ways to freshen up your space so you're excited as we head … [Read more...]

School will look a little different this year for most of us but like Alix said in her back to school post for Quinn, we can still get our kids excited for a new school year whether that be in the classroom or at home. My boys and I went to Nordstrom a couple of weeks ago to get sized for new shoes and we ended up leaving with new backpacks, clothes, water bottles, AND shoes. Not intentional at … [Read more...]
