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! While getting gifts is a great way to show your mom how much you love her, I argue, that spending time with her means even more! I am thrilled to be partnering with JCPenney to bring you three simple ideas to do with your mom to let her know how much you love her! But don’t worry, if you don’t live near your mom JCPenney has got a great choice of gifts you can send to your mom too! JCPenney offers a variety of high-quality, stylish pieces at great value.
One of our favorite things to do in the summer is host a BBQ around our pool! When we moved into our house almost three years ago, I was so excited to have a pool in our backyard! Of course, while I was planning backyard BBQs in our backyard, Briton was researching the pros and cons of having a pool! <– that right there pretty much describes our personalities! I am a dreamer and Brit is my black and white! We are a good compliment to each other! We (okay, totally me more than the rest of my family!) are excited to partner with Macy’s to bring you some great looks for your whole family! Now is the time to shop for everyone in your family during the Friends & Family Sale!! You can save 30% off so many great items with code FRIEND! But hurry! The sale ends May 7!
Even though TECHNICALLY it is spring, it doesn’t quite feel like it here in Indiana! So while sleeveless dresses are great for summer, I sure do appreciate a dress with longer sleeves in the chillier Indiana springs! I am excited to be partnering with Macy’s to highlight this adorable dress by Taylor. From Mother’s Day to a spring wedding, this dress is perfect! The fit is flattering, the color is fabulous, and you can even wear a regular bra!!! (<–Anyone else get super excited about that!?!) Macy’s is the perfect dress destination! During their Friends & Family event, you can save 30% on this dress with code FRIEND!
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. Â 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!
