    Kindergarten Toolkit Review

    I’ve been looking for ways to teach Nolan while he is at home with me. He will start kindergarten next year and I wanted to jump start his learning and get him excited about going to school. The hardest part about teaching your children is the preparation involved with the lessons. Forcing your child to learn is one of the worst ways to go about introducing them to lessons so I have been searching for some fun activities for us to do together. When Kindergarten Toolkit reached out to me about trying their learning package, I jumped at the opportunity! I received this product free for review, all opinions remain…

    Stripes

    DETAILS: top | tank | jeans | booties Stripes have become my best friend when it comes to clothing! I love wearing them as a neutral and as my pregnancy goes on, you’ll be seeing me wear it more and more. Stripes go with everything so you can even mix them up and style them with another print like floral, leopard or even another variation of stripes! I’ve really enjoyed this flowy top from GG Boutique and I have worn it so many times the past two weeks! I throw it on with leggings, colored jeggings, flats and heeled booties. This shirt is so comfortable and I’ve gotten so many compliments on…

    Be still my heart!

    Valentine’s Day is almost here y’all! Who else is getting pumped about all the hearts and candy? Nolan loves any excuse to celebrate, and ever since we walked into Target a few weeks ago and he saw the décor everywhere, the questions have come back-to-back! I love hearing the excitement he builds up about celebrating, and once I explained that he can give out Valentine’s to his friends, he’s been all about this holiday. When I was a kid I used to LOVE the chalky candy hearts with messages written on them, but I have since learned those little candies and others are packed with processed sugars and other yucky ingredients. Like Halloween, Easter, and Christmas, a sugar…

    I’m back!

    Oh y’all, I am SO sorry for taking a break from blogging.  The past two weeks have been INSANE! I’ve been out of town in Charleston because of two prenatal appointments and my mother’s back surgery.  For a week, I took care of her and three of my nieces and nephews along with my two kids. Derrek thankfully held down the fort at Sweet Tea Jewels, and although I missed his cute face off, I am forever thankful for his help with our business. I found out at my prenatal appointments that I am officially 14 weeks and just getting into my SECOND trimester. I love being pregnant, and just being aware of every…
