With summer break officially here, it is time to gear up for the lake, BBQs, and running kids back and forth to camps all week long! With Walmart’s We Dress America campaign, you can have this season’s hottest trends at affordable prices! I am basically a real-life version of my “Head to Toe Under $100”!

I remember watching an episode of Oprah many years ago! She talked about asking yourself three questions before deciding to purchase or keep an article of clothing!
- Is this the image I want to portray?
- Do I love it?
- Does it make me look and feel good?
Now Briton likes to throw in the question, “How much does it cost?” but I told him he can’t do that! Ha! Oprah said that if you can’t answer “yes” to each of those three questions, the item is not for you! Whether you are going through your closet and purging or in a dressing room trying to find a “just right” piece, these questions should drive you to action! I am excited to be partnering with Nordstrom to bring you ten tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best!
| Well, if you know me, you know that I start every morning with a smoothie! I love that time to get in a great serving of fruits and vegetables! I also make a REALLY large batch. I put my Sunday batch into plastic cups and straight to the freezer. Every morning around 6:30, I pull a smoothie out of the freezer and take it with me to school. Then around 8:00 I eat it at my desk! I never actually measure what I put in, but here are some approximates! 🙂 I start by putting everything into my Vitamix. Yes, they are expensive. But, yes, they are completely worth it. My Vitamix is over 15 years old and it won’t die! I mean, secretly, I would like it to die because I would love more options than my old Vitamix has! But, no! It won’t quit! And also, their customer service is wonderful! Here are the ingredients I use. Because I make a smoothie for the whole week, this recipe will make a large portion big enough to serve 5-6 smoothies. Start by blending these ingredients: 20 ounces of Almond Milk (any milk is fine) Big handful of spinach or kale 1/2 cup of Coconut oil (Optional) 3 scoops of protein powder (I use Beachbody’s Vanilla Vegan) After the above ingredients are smooth, add the frozen fruit. I use: 2 Frozen Bananas 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Blueberries 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Strawberries Another fruit option: 2 Frozen Bananas 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Mango 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Peaches Blend and enjoy! Start your morning off right! Now, don’t stop following me after you read this! 😉 But…. I don’t like chocolate! I know, I know! It’s crazy! But my family does! So sometimes after I get my smoothie scooped out, I will add a couple tablespoons of Cocoa Powder. My kids think they are drinking a chocolate milkshake! MOM WIN! |

When I was teaching first grade, I remember kids coming up to me and saying, “Mrs. Post, Timmy said the ‘S’ word!” After investigating, most of the time, that “S” word turned out to be “stupid” or “shut up”!

It’s officially wedding season, and I am excited to be partnering with Nordstrom to bring you six looks for a wedding guest this summer that skip right over the color we all typically run towards – BLACK!! So here are six choices to add a few pops of color to your wedding guest wardrobe!
And it’s no secret that Nordstrom is my favorite store!! I live in a small town, and the nearest Nordstrom is over two hours away! I love that Nordstrom offers both FREE shipping AND returns!!! But if you live closer, you can also order online and pick up your items in store!! Woohoo!

My parents are both teachers at a Christian school in our town. When I was younger, my dad taught and my mom stayed home with me and my three siblings. As you can imagine, six people living on a private school teacher’s income made money tight. But I rarely remember feeling that way because we still did so many fun things as a family! My mom is from Tennessee, so every summer, we would make the 8-hour drive from Indiana to Tennessee to spend time with my mom’s family! We stayed at a national park there and always pitched a tent that our entire family slept in! There is just something about sleeping outdoors that is so fun for kids! I bought this $35 tent for my kids, and you would have thought I spent thousands of dollars on an elaborate gift! They are already asking when they get to use it again! From pitching a tent in your backyard to hiking mountain trails, Ozark Trail has so many amazing options for your outdoor needs.
A big thank you to Walmart and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post!
Lucy and I are so excited to be partnering with Walmart during their We Dress America campaign! They are celebrating style that is original, doesn’t discriminate, and comes at prices that all of us can feel good about! There are so many great pieces for all of this season’s best trends! While I know that Lucy will not want to match me forever, I love that she is so excited about it now!
Are you looking for what to wear for family pictures or for spring Easter family looks? Planning outfits for what to wear and color schemes can be SO stressful! I’ve got you covered! Here are 5 different options for what to wear that are perfect for spring. Each look has a bunch of outfit ideas from babies to teens that include shoes and accesories!
Hopefully theses family looks are helpful to you! You can check out all of my family photo looks here!
We all love when one piece can be worn in many different ways, right?! This super soft tee from Target is perfect to be worn all year long, but here are a few great looks for spring and summer! I think it runs a little large. I am waring the small, but am thinking I may want to exchange it for the XS. So definitely size down if in between.
Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” I can’t argue with that! I am partnering with Nordstrom to bring you some great shoe options to get you ready for spring and summer! My friend Caroline once told me that shopping for shoes was her favorite thing to shop for. When I asked her why, she said, “Because even if you gain a few pounds, a good pair of shoes always fits!” So here are a few pairs of shoes that are a great fit for spring and summer!
