The start of fall is great and all, but to me, the full excitement of the season doesn't set in until the weather matches. And when that happens, and I can finally start wearing coats, I'm a very happy girl. To me, there's nothing chicer than a good coat - whether to pair with an equally chic pair of boots, to throw over a sweater dress, or to elevate a good pair of jeans and sneakers. ...
OK so I feel like I keep saying each gift guide is my favorite...but y'all, this one takes the cake. Even curating it made me feel good! I'm a total homebody at heart and I think we all can agree that 2020 has been the year of being home. As we head further into fall and the holidays, I can't wait for a cozy season spent in loungewear, slow mornings with hot coffee, and hopefully, some free time to flip through this book. ...
One of my favorite things about George now attending school is feeling like he actually needs "outfits" to leave the house in. We obviously left the house before that, but there's something about school that makes me want to shop for him even more than before. I need to do a better job at sharing his items since I know there are a lot of mamas out there, so I'm starting with this post. Consider this a simple Faul Haul for the boys. So much cute stuff for the season! ...
My Holiday Gift Guides are in full swing and this beauty list might be my favorite one yet. Shopping for the beauty-obsessed doesn't have to be hard. In fact, Nordstrom makes it quite easy since they carry all the top beauty brands. ...
When I met Austin 10 years ago, I was in college and working part-time at a beauty salon. I worked there off and on while I was in school and then summers when I was teaching. It was a dream job for someone who loved learning about products and getting to help clients with beauty and haircare. ...
We've been making a lot of bowls lately, and this Teriyaki Chicken recipe has been one of our favorites. It's incredibly easy, and George will eat it too — so it saves us extra time in the kitchen preparing meals. Win-win!
If you've been curious about the Always Pan I did a formal review in this post, but it's on sale for Black Friday and under $100 with code SUPERSALE (which makes it the lowest price of the year). I have two and highly recommend — you won't regret it! ...
This has got to be one of the sweetest gift guides to curate so I hope y'all enjoy my picks for kids. Since George is a year and a half, I mainly stuck to that age but I'm also including presents for babies and older toddlers. After being a teacher, I can't help but to include a couple educational items, and you know I *try* to keep things somewhat neutral around our home. Whether shopping for a niece, nephew, a friend's child or your own, lots of cute stuff included!
If you missed them, I've also shared my For Parents & In-Laws, For Her and For Him Guides. Happy shopping!

I cannot believe we're two weeks out from Thanksgiving as I write this. Well actually, 2020 has felt prettyyyy long at the same time, ha! Anyways, one of my favorite parts of home decor is table styling. I love turning on some music, grabbing a cup of coffee or wine, and bringing my tablescape vision to life - especially around the holidays. ...
I don't know about you guys, but I always keep it really casual on Thanksgiving. Even when we've had larger celebrations, I prefer to be comfortable with so much cooking, lounging, and let's be real...eating. If you like to dress up I may not be your girl, but for those of you who also stay pretty casual, this post is for you. Keep scrolling for a few low-key Thanksgiving Day outfits. ...
I don't know about you guys, but parents and in-laws are always one of the hardest gifts to shop for me. They usually buy themselves what they need and at the same time, you feel like nothing you give them will ever be *enough*, right? And while I'm lucky to be very close with my in-laws, I know that can be another tricky decision.
With that, I usually go about these gifts by treating them or elevating something they already have. A nice pan (code TEACHERDIVA10) they'll have for life, a bath caddy for the MIL who loves to soak, or a lux throw are always good ideas. If someone is extremely hard to shop for, gifting them something unique like this Olive Oil Gift Set can be fun! That way, you know you aren't giving them something they already have. ...
