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!!!

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
Since I am a teacher, I get asked by friends every year, “What are some gifts that teachers really like to get?” Well, honestly, we truly appreciate EVERY gift we get. And almost every teacher will be excited and appreciative of each gift no matter the monetary value! But we all do have favorite things that we love to get! I like to get a list of my kids’ teachers’ favorite things! Below are a list of some great gifts you can get the important teacher in your child’s life. (And don’t forget about the specials teachers too!)
Happy *ALMOST* Mother’s Day to all of you beautiful mamas out there! I would not be half the person I am without my mom! My mom is a pre-kindergarten teacher and definitely ignited my passion to become a teacher. She is incredibly patient, always willing to help, and one of the best people I know! I am so excited to be partnering with Macy’s to celebrate my mom and moms everywhere!
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be a great time to talk about three great things you can do with your mom without spending a ton of money!

The past few years of teaching have been incredibly challenging for me. I have had several problems with my thyroid and digestion. In the end of March of 2017, I read the book The Magnolia Story, and it literally changed my life. I don’t say that lightly. Throughout the entire book I read story after story of how Chip and Jo trusted God and some pretty incredible things happened. I remember when I got done reading the book, I got down on my knees. When I was on my knees, I was praying and saying that I didn’t know what else I was even qualified to do. But I was trusting God to provide something for me that I could do for a job. I honestly didn’t know what it would be. But here’s what I did know – I am good with kids, and I am good at shopping!
Who’s ready for wedding season!?! I may not be in the majority, but I totally love getting all dressed up!

But wedding season allows me to up my game! I am excited to be partnering with Lord & Taylor to bring your some great beauty products to up your wedding pre-game and two head to toe looks to help you turn heads without outdoing the bride!

With spring break officially over, it is time to head back to reality! But let’s be honest, without reality, those times away would not be appreciated nearly as much! We recently enjoyed a wonderful trip to Florida with my family! It is always so nice to get away! Brit and I have this joke that while the times away with the kids are fun, we like to call them a “trip” rather than a “vacation”! While traveling with kids may not be quite as relaxing as traveling without them, here are a few tips for your next trip with kids to help things run a little smoother!
Who’s ready for spring break!?!? Two hands up for this girl! You may have seen my Spring Getaway post with Nordstrom last week, but here are a few other options you might want to consider adding to your suitcase! Every year, my little family of four join my parents and my sister with her family down in Florida in the Orlando area! (And no… we aren’t doing Disney. Oh my goodness!! WAY too busy for me this time of year!) This has been a crazy, busy school year! I always look forward to spring break! It is a time for total relaxation! We don’t do much, but it sure is nice to be in the warmth and be surrounded by family!
