I first purchased these faux leather leggings at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The minute they were on, I was in love! They are so amazing! Not only are they high waisted, but they are by Spanx, so they suck you in in all the right places! I love how they can be dressed up or dress down! I plan to wear them out for date night, girl’s night out, or even to school! For me, they run true to size. I wear them in a size small. They also come in plus size. In my opinion, they are completely worth the investment.
It’s the most wonderful (shopping) time of the year!!!! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! If you have a Nordstrom card, you have early access before the public sale starts on July 20! I am sharing my top picks and what I actually ordered below!! I ordered everything true to size.

I have to be completely honest! When Kohl’s first contacted me to do an “upgrade one room” post, I thought, “Gosh, I love the rooms in my house. I am not sure which one I would change.” I always knew that I wanted to do a rug in our bedroom eventually, but I was totally holding off in hopes that we would have hardwood flooring in the near future. I wondered how it would look putting a rug on top of carpet. Would it look crazy? Would it be too much? But I have to tell you, once I made five simple changes in our bedroom, it went from great to OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE THIS ROOM SO MUCH!!! You have known for years that Kohl’s offers great clothing at great prices with that amazing Kohl’s Cash. But did you know that they also carry so many great things for every room in your house too? Right now, you can get $10 off $50 for home items in-store and online between 7/13-7/29 PLUS earn $10 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent from 7/13-7/18. Use code HOME10! I am excited to share 5 quick and easy upgrades I did to our bedroom to completely change the look!

I am not sure that white looks any better than it does in the summer months!!! White outfit paired with sun-kissed skin is a match made in fashion heaven! I have two young children, so I always used to be scared to wear white. I mean, let’s be honest, they are stain magnets! And I also used to think, “Where in the world would I wear all white??” The answer is …… anywhere and everywhere!! I am so excited to be partnering with Macy’s two bring you to WHITE HOT looks for summer!! Both pieces are by the brand Cece! I am so impressed with the design and quality of this brand!! My first experience with this brand was when I purchased this top (<– amazing, by the way!), and now it is becoming a top brand that I search for!
Briton and I are coming up on 14 years of marital bliss! And over the past 14 years, I have attended my fair share of bridal showers. It made me start to think – what would I change about wedding registry now that I have been married for a while?? Do you regret some of your choices?? Would you keep everything the same?? One thing I definitely wouldn’t c
Father’s Day is quickly approaching! And if there is one thing that makes me love Briton even more, it’s watching him be a father! I am so grateful to be married to someone who loves his family so much! I always think of that Brad Paisley song “And I Thought I Loved You Then” when it comes to our relationship. Brit and I started dating in high school – study hall sweethearts – and I sure thought I loved him so much in high school! But now as we have grown older and started a family of our own it’s amazing how that love has grown! Okay, now that the mushy gushy part is over…… I am so excited to be partnering with Lord & Taylor to feature a few great ideas for Father’s Day and a great gift too! Right now, Lord & Taylor is having their Friends & Family sale, and it’s the perfect time to pick up a few gifts for that special dad in your life!
All winter long, I kind of feel cooped up in the house! I feel like we hardly see our sweet neighbors! But when the warmer weather finally breaks, you can find our family outside almost all summer long!! We love to play basketball (well, I’m horrible, but Brit and the kids love it!), take bike rides, and take Sammy on walks! I love the fun days of summer where we trade our school clothes for “comfortable clothes” in Henry’s words! If Henry had his way, he would wear “comfortable clothes” all day every day! He hates it when I make him wear “handsome clothes”! I am so excited to be partnering with Kohl’s to bring you some great activewear for you and your entire family! Kohl’s carries great brands like Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour – these are all favorite brands for our family!
Several of you have been asking for a summer capsule wardrobe with some must-have pieces for the season! I am excited to be partnering with Macy’s to bring you seventeen basic pieces and twenty different ways to style these pieces!! While separate, each pieces is a basic, when put together in an outfit, you have a timeless look! And honestly, I am seriously not the right person to ask about a minimalistic wardrobe (current closet situation = busting at the seams!), these pieces are great basics to spruce up your wardrobe!!
Summer is officially here for this tired first grade teacher!!! It’s hard to believe another school year is over and done! Not only am I looking forward to the relaxation and rejuvenation that summer brings, but I am also glad the weather has warmed up enough to wear some great summer outfits!! I am thrilled to be partnering with Bloomingdale’s to bring you four great pieces by French Connection! I am currently loving this brand!!! The quality is awesome, and the fabrics feel amazing! One piece can easily transform from a day look to an evening out!
