This sweater is lightweight and the prettiest color! I love easy sweaters like this in fall and winter that can go with a ton of outfits and you can dress it up or down. I’ve had this monogram necklace for a while and still can’t get enough of it. I love how the marble look pops on this dark top. This monogram necklace comes in lots of color options (so fun!) mine is in ‘blonde marble’. I mentioned this denim in my last blog post.  I have this pair (and another similar pair w

Hi lovelies! I am so excited to be doing a huge collaboration with some of my favorite mommy bloggers!! I am so grateful that I have met all these amazing mamas through my blogging journey. Each one is different and doing an amazing job! They are the sweetest, most loving friends. We all got together to put some thoughts and words to our motherhood journey so far, and it was so fun to read what their mottos were about being a mommy. (See below.) Being a mom has been the most

Hey guys! I absolutely love floppy hats but never remember to throw it on. I think I associate hats with super dirty hair and lazy days when I’m wearing half pjs and half yoga gear. Oops. But these hats are such a cute layer to add to fall and winter outfits. My lace black sweater is a few years old but I looooove lace tops. I linked similar lace tops below that I’m totally digging. I’ve worn these amazing earrings from Bauble Bar a few times and seriously can’t get enough. T

Hey guys! I’m so excited to finally be sharing with you our photos from Blakely’s first birthday! I had been planning this shoot for a while and knew I wanted a “beachy” look. I know I’ve said it before, but Kathleen is sooo gifted. She is the sweetest and most calm person I’ve ever met. I swear when I’m around her all my worries just fly away. It’s like magic. Ha. But seriously, I have a ton of friends who have used her for their family shoots and fall in love right away. I

Hey guys! Got lots of questions about my bedding, bed, etc. I linked everything below. If I couldn’t find the exact item I have, I tried to find very similar looks! I absolutely love my bedroom and getting into bed at night the best!! After a long day with kids, watching tv in a super comfortable bed to relax is a must. Amiright?! Click on images below to shop the post. !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.

Hey guys! I’ve had a lot of questions recently about my lashes. If I wear fake lashes, when, how to apply, etc. So I thought I’d take a second to talk about my go-to lashes! First off, I do not wear them every day. I love having makeup free days and don’t have the time (nor do I care enough! lol) to put them on every day. I love wearing false lashes when I’m going out or want to add an extra layer of pop to my eyes. But my goal is to always have them looking natural-ish. I lo

Hey guys! I’ve had a lot of questions lately about hair products I’m using, so I thought I’d link them all. I had some major damage due to pregnancy, post pregnancy and also some medications I’ve taken. I’ve spent a lot of time and energy trying to get my hair back to a healthy place and I’m starting to feel much better about it! I chopped a lot off (about 4 inches!) and have loved it. I go in every 4 weeks or so and have them chop more and more off. I have very dry, thick an

Holy smokes! Our baby girl is one year old! WHHHYYYY does time have to go by so fast?! These photos were taken at the park about a month before her birthday. She already seems so much older! These photos aren’t the best. I was trying to shoot in manual and work on my photog skills. I learned my lesson to never try something new when it involves little babies who are not patient. So, I did my best to edit them and fix them up in Lightroom. But, I’ve still got a lot to learn… T

Hey guys… We were struggling getting out the door to take a few pics and we almost missed the sun entirely! It gave me a chance to work on editing really dark pictures. Ha. I’ve obviously still got a lot to learn in the Photoshop department. Anywho, this casual shirt is so comfortable. But a good change to my covered-in-spit-up-and-food t-shirts. This top is from Denver Street Boutique and no longer available but I am linking similar tops below and I love them alllllll. Also,

Hey mamas. Today Brittany is sharing. Brittany and I met through church at our MOPS group. We were not in the same group and have not had the chance to sit down and make a personal connection (yet) but she is the sweetest and has the most darling little kids! Do you ever just meet people and barely know them but you can feel that they are awesome and sweet and kind? That’s how I feel about Brittany. I hope you enjoy her playful perspective on motherhood… …………………………. “What’s w

Hey guys! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public. Prices will go up August 8th, so get the pieces you love while they’re on sale! I had so many other items in my cart to purchase but I waited too long and now they’re sold out! Dang it. So if something you want is available in your size, grab it! These pictures were all taken last season, but linking same (or similar) items that are currently part of the sale below the pictures. I tried to break into categories t

My baby boy is three. I can’t believe it. He is the cutest little man I’ve ever seen and continues to melt my heart and crack me up. We took these pictures before his third birthday and he was SO excited about his new digger. He kinda looks too big for it! 😦 I threw him a construction themed birthday party so I wanted some pics of him in his get-up before his big day came around. Ryder loves Lincoln. He runs around with him, carrying Lincoln’s ball. Never throwing it, causin

So, I take to take 100 pictures to document Blakes first pony tail. I mean, seriously?! The cutest!!! 🙂 I haven’t ever tried to put her hair up and OMG. I die. The best. She wasn’t in a picture-taking mood and is so squirmy these days. She also has the hardest time opening her eyes when it’s bright out, causing her to make the cutest squishy/squinty-eyed babe I’ve ever seen. (**Don’t mind that I am legit in pjs at 4:00pm. Oh, and covered in milk, food, and who knows what els

Hey guys! This red lace top is and old top from Francesca’s, but I’ve linked similar ones below. I’ve linked a ton of black distressed denim below. Remember that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still happening! You can see my top picks from the sale HERE! The sale is currently open to all card holders (get credit or debit card HERE). Sale will be open to public July 22. I love this necklace and wear it all the time! I’ve had it forever, but linked similar ones I’m majorly c

Today for Mommy Monday my old friend, KE (Kristin), is sharing a bit about her experience with postpartum anxiety. I have known KE since making the Denver Nuggets Dancers in 2004. She was my captain and we have been friends since! She has a positive energy about her and is so much fun. She’s always been such a giving friend, willing to offer you the shirt off her back and somehow make you feel like you did her the favor! She’s the sweetest and makes everyone around her feel c

Hey guys! I got this new tote I’ve been debating about for a loooong time. I don’t know why I was so hesitant?! I decided YOLO! 😉 I freaking love this tote so much. Of course I’m obsessed with the color, but it’s also huge and I can fit so much stuff in it. It’s reversible (bonus!) and the material is great. I highly recommend this bag! It comes in another color that I will also link below. I’m hoping they make it in more colors for fall/winter. This shirt was once a dress (

Our sweet baby girl is growing too fast! She’s such a little goofball. I’m really starting to day dream about getting our nails painted together, braiding her hair, etc. So much fun ahead! But also, so sad how quickly this year has gone. She just recently got her 7th tooth. Poor girl has been teething HARD the past week or so. Breaks my heart to see her so uncomfortable. Tooth and I have been starting to give her a larger variety of foods. She loooooves to eat! Ryder was neve

Hey guys! This romper though… All the heart eyes. It’s so comfortable and easy. I dressed this up for a quick night out (kid free!) but you could easily dress it down by switching the heels out for flip flops. I looooooooove summer and already feel like it’s slipping through my fingers! Tim and I are looking forward to Ryder’s 3rd birthday in about a week. But I am also SO, so sad. How is he already three?!?! And Blakely’s birthday is also right around the corner, turning ONE

It’s almost 4th of July! Yay! We love fireworks, Ryder especially. Last year he was SO cute watching them and saying, “fireworks! Fireworks!!!” over and over again. Cutest thing ever. Tim and I were cracking up. He asked about fireworks every night for months. I hope he gets as excited again this year. He’s the cutest!! Anyway, I love getting the family all dressed up in their Red, white and blue! MERICA! I thought I would link some of the items I’m currently digging that wou
