Hawaii Ready!
Our Hawaii vacation is T-1 week away and I couldnāt be more excited!! Nothing is better than knowing my uniform for an entire week will consist of swim suits, cover ups and flips flops. Historically, Iāve always been the type of girl that over-packs. Now, I know Iām not alone on this team. I know you know what Iām talking about. That inevitable look you get followed by the, āI thought you were going light this time. Is this ALL absolutely necessary!?ā Why yes, husband. Yes it is. THIS all doesnāt just come natural, ya know! But I will say, post-kids I have really had the motivation to pack MUCH…

One-of-a-Kind Motherās Day Gift Ideas
I am probably THE easiest person to gift. Whether it is for Christmas, my birthday, an anniversary or special occasion or Motherās Day. Whether you want to just get a little something and not totally break the bank or whether you want to splurge and get me something really nice, Iāve got items big and small, inexpensive and splurge-worthy. I keep a running list at Nordstrom and on Amazon (PS did you know that you can add items to your Amazon Wish List from any site? LOVE that!) and I have for years.

Mama’s Chicken Soup
Ordinarily I wouldnāt be making, talking or even thinking about soup in the Spring/Summer. I typically save soups, stews, chilis (and the sort) for chillier months in the Fall and Winter. But, because the whether has had the most difficult time making up itās mind, our family and everyone around us seems to be battling colds every other week. So with this last round of colds, I thought I should break out my oleā stock pot and make the quintessential home remedy for my sick babies: chicken soup. Now, over the years, I have experimented with different chicken soup recipes but my husband (who, I must admit, isnāt a huge…

Spring time whites + brights
Iāll start by saying, I am not the type of girl who can wear white for even 2 seconds without it getting dirty. But I love to try! And even though I donāt necessarily subscribe to the school of thought that you canāt wear white after Labor Day, Iām always just too excited for Fall to NOT wear all the fun and festive (typically darker) colors that compliment the season. So, when Spring and Summer come back around, I LOVE pulling out all the whites and brights from the back of my closet. All of the pieces that were retired as the weather shifted to be colder take on a…

Beauty Finds
I cannot for the life of me remember how I stumbled upon this 3-step beauty process but these products are now embedded into my nightly routine and I cannot tell you how much I absolutely adore them! I saw a difference probably within the first day or two of application and, while there have been times where I have gotten lazy and stopped regularly applying them at night, as soon as I start up again, I seriously see a sort of vibrance return to my skin. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

Fashion Finds
If you follow me on Instagram, then you already are well aware that I love my athleisure look. Being a wife and mom of two humans and 2 dogs keeps me running around non-stop. So, there is nothing I love more than being comfortable while still looking effortlessly cute and “put together.” Enter: the legging, the tight, the jegging and any similar form thereof. I have tried pretty much every legging / tight around and I have put them to. the. test with how many times I can put them through the wash before they start to look “eeek.” These leggings are the best I have found and they don’t…

Family Finds
I never knew why people were such strong proponents of air purifiers until… 1. I married and started sharing a (locker š ) room with a smelly man (I still love you, babe! Just not the stentch that comes from your hamper after you’ve dumped your workout clothes in it š ) 2. adopted a boxer (who sheds – hello, smelly dog and dander!) 3. started demo’ing our home (before we officially moved out – hello, dust!) But now that I have found this air purifier, I am officially addicted and my life is changed FOREVER. Even if you aren’t married to a smelly man and you don’t have a…

BBQ Ribs
Summers = BBQ. Right?! At least for my family, Summer is absolutely synonymous with BBQ. Nothing beats being able to soak up some rays and enjoy the warmer weather while you cook dinner. And, since weāre all already outdoors, why not just eat outdoors too? Gah! I just love Summers! In the spirit of warmer months coming to join us, I thought Iād share one of the most simple, tasty recipes I have found for BBQ Ribs. Literally friends, itās two ingredients and AH-mazing. Now, I know what you might be thinking. Ugh! The BBQ. What a love-hate relationship if there ever was, right? I mean, I love to eat…
