Blessed by warmer South Carolina weather
shirt | jeans | boots | lip | necklace Y’all, I am so happy I could do a little dance. After an entire week, my husband is finally home! He had to take a work trip and for six days it was just me and the kids. We made it through but it was tough. I took a break from social media last weekend because the kids just needed my full attention and it was much appreciated. My appreciation for single parents or ones with spouses overseas grows bigger by the minute and being alone with the kids for almost a week directed a lot of my thoughts towards them!…

Staying in the moment
Anyone get FOMO? It’s something that I struggle with. Social media has a way of making it worse. Scrolling someone’s feed and seeing their beautiful vacation pictures, perfect homes and brand new cars. Comparing your life to theirs and wondering why you don’t “have it all.” I read a quote that says “comparison is the thief of joy,” and it couldn’t be more true. I have days where I get so angry that my life isn’t as picture perfect as others. It’s so easy to get into a negative headspace when you are comparing your journey to someone else’s.

Feeling Like Spring
top | leggings | booties ( sold out) | necklace | lip | cup Happy Hump Day y’all! I cannot believe we are already halfway through the week but I’ll take it. South Carolina has been blessed with some fabulous weather and I have been soaking it in by spending as much time as possible outdoors. This past weekend I had a meeting and I decided that it was the perfect time to wear this outfit. I’ve gotten so many compliments on this tank from Thisle and Finn, I cannot tell you how excited I am to style it different ways through Spring and Summer. It’s only $30 and I’ve got…

Olive You – A Letter To my Mini-Me
Harper’s dress | shoes | my dress | boots | jewelry Dear Harper, I cannot believe we are days away from your third birthday. Time has flown by since the first moment I held you in my arms. You entered this world like a hurricane and continue to run circles around me, daily. I call you my little sour patch kid because I never know what I am gonna get when it comes to your sassy self. You could be the sweetest little angel and the most mischievous little one within seconds of each other. You make me laugh and test my patience more than anyone I have ever met.…

The Best “Mashed Potatoes” aka Cauliflower with help from Blendtec
I’m gonna go ahead and call today, Soulfood Sunday. It’s the day after we grocery shop so I feel like the world is my oyster when it comes to deciding what we eat. Nothing makes me happier than a full fridge. I guess it’s because I reflect back on my college days when the contents of my fridge consisted of beer and takeout. Yikes! What a long way I’ve come! I have shared the recipe to my “mashed potatoes” aka mashed cauliflower on my insta stories numerous times. Each time I do, I get begged to put it on my blog so here it is. Finally in a space that…
