I've been getting requests to share my Mother's Day Gift Guide early which I love because one of my favorite things to put on my wishlist each year is something custom (jewelry), and those things can take a while to make. So even though we have a few weeks 'til the holiday, send this over to your husband, kids, whoever, today. I'm also shopping my own list for the moms in my life that I'm beyond grateful for. ...
5 Self Care Tips I’m Taking Into the New Year
I don't know about you, but I always love consuming intentional content in January. I love reading what everyone is working on for the new year and there always seems to be a focus on self-care. It's easy for the year to ramp up and us all to forget about what we wanted to focus on, but I'm hopeful that between my goal-setting sheets, finding my word for 2023, and setting myself up for small wins, it's a really good year. ...
A Neutral Holiday Tablescape
One of my favorite parts of home decor is styling a tablescape. I love choosing a 'theme' and seeing all the little pieces coming together, and then of course, enjoying the meal with people I love. I've always been obsessed with different glassware and those details that come into a tablescape, too. ...
DIY HOLIDAY GIFTS
Y'all loved my post from last year on Easy DIY Hostess Gifts so I wanted to bring you more this year. To be honest, I'm not the best DIYer which is why I asked my girlfriend Ginger from Urbanology Designs to help. She's my go-to for decorating, hosting, etc and when she was helping to decorate my home for the holidays, we also go to work on these ideas. ...
My Sophisticated, Neutral Holiday Decor
I can honestly say this is the earliest my home has ever been decorated for Christmas, but with holiday projects in full swing, it was a must. There really is something special about embracing the season. The lights, stockings and trees really bring so much joy to our home — I think we may start decorating early every year. ...
Halloween Decor That Isn’t Cheesy
Things have been busy around here so honestly, I'm behind on decorating for Halloween, but it is one of my favorite times of the year to decorate. I always keep things neutral (shocker) and pretty minimal, especially now that we have the boys - I'm not trying to scare them. ...
5 Fall Candles I’m Loving Right Now
Not going to lie, this post makes me REALLY excited. I know I'm early but I'm one of those people who always jump the gun on fall because I simply can't help it. Find me burning all the candles, wearing all the sweaters (truly, here's what I've been wearing) and doing all the fall things, even while it's 100 degrees in Dallas. ...
HOSTESS GIFTS TO HAVE ON HAND
I've been meaning to write this post since the holidays LAST YEAR but you know how things go. After writing out What to Gift New Mamas, I thought it would be helpful to also curate some of my favorite hostess gifts to have on hand. We're all busy and I find it nice to stock up on a few things so that I always have something to bring the host, without stressing about it last-minute. I hope you find these ideas helpful and would love if you could leave anything you like to gift in the comments. ...
My Thoughts After Using a Personal Trainer for 6 Months
2022 was finally the year that I wanted to stop putting things off, including a serious workout routine. As a mom to young boys, a business owner, a wife, a friend...you know how it goes, it was feeling like I had so many things that I wanted to do but would reserve them for 'next year'. Even with my breast reduction (which I'll be recovering from by the time you read this), it was something I had wanted for literally decades but never made the appointment...until I did. ...
What You Need to See From Amazon Prime Sales
If you haven't seen it all over IG, Amazon Prime Day kicked off today. IMO, it's not a sale to miss because there's usually either something I want to buy more of, something I've been eyeing or something I "need" on sale. It's also a great time to grab early holiday presents if you're a planner. I know it's a bit of a complicated sale so I've rounded up my favorites below - most of what I already own. The sale goes through tomorrow. ...
