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.

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...]

Last year she was a tadpole and this year she's a frog! Summer is winding down and fall is right around the corner. Before you know it pumpkin spice everything will be taking over your Instagram feed. However, the transition back to school this year is not so simple. Hardly! But, whether or not your child is heading back into the classroom (not having that debate here ;)), I feel like … [Read more...]

hat | sunglasses | tank | shorts |fanny pack | sneakers We have to be careful when we talk about Amazon products that mimic designers because obviously no one wants their products being knocked off. We can't say certain words in our blog posts anymore but what we can say are things like save versus splurge.

In the past I've loaded up on all.the.things. every blogger told me "I had to have". I would get all the trendy pieces and spent way too much money. This sale gets a lot of buzz every year and for good reason. It's a fun sale and there are things that go on sale that never would otherwise. However, this sale isn't worth going broke over- it's not that deep ;) I've wised up over the years. … [Read more...]

sweatshirt If you're looking for every pair of jeans, jacket, basic long sleeve, pair of boots and sunglasses, you've come to the wrong place. I won't be sharing every single item from the #Nsale like a lot of others out there who insist how #perfect every item is and how much you need it. This is just a sale.. not the end of the world and no, you don't need every basic tee from Nordstrom just … [Read more...]
