    Trendy Teething Necklaces

    Harper’s necklace | my necklace The weekends are when I feel like I have my life together. That’s when Derrek is home, the house is clean and I have help with the kids. We always head out somewhere on a family adventure and I actually look put together for once. For those that think I try to post like I have “the perfect life” all I can do is laugh. It’s so far from the truth. Today has been a complete S-show and I swear, I’ve cried multiple times over not being able to accomplish anything. I had some super witty mumble-jumbo written for this post and I just deleted…

    Dock a Tot + Finn and Emma

    I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. As time goes on, I find myself embracing simplicity more and more. As a mother with three small kids that might sound like an oxymoron but it can be done! Baby stuff is the most common build up in my home. After going through the stuff that just piles up in the corners after I had Nolan and Harper, I refused to let it happen with Scarlet Reese. Other than going through your things every few weeks and donating or selling things that are no use, I offer the advice…

    Hazel and Mae Rusty Orange Sweater

    Cooler temps are here and I am loving it! In the South, it takes a little longer for our seasons to change. I am a warm weather type of girl but now that Thanksgiving has passed, I have decorated for Christmas and pulled out my cozy sweaters. This rusty orange off the shoulder sweater from Hazel and Mae Boutique has been calling my name since I first saw it. When I finally tried it on, I proclaimed that it is by far my favorite sweater! I wore this on Thanksgiving and received so many compliments, it just validated my opinion on how gorg it is. I’ve had these cowboy boots…

    Oat Mama Love

    I often get asked about breastfeeding and producing “enough” milk. I’ve shared a lot of tricks like drinking lots of water, taking fenugreek tablets and applying fennel to your breasts but y’all, eating Oat Mama bars is at the top of my milk producing list! I started eating these the same month that Scarlet Reese was born and I have had an abundance of milk since! I pump all the extra milk that she doesn’t drink and I actually donated most of it to a friend in need. I am currently rebuilding my stash and I’d like to give a big thanks to Oat Mama for helping me do so!…

    Mad for Plaid!

    vest* | top | jeans | boots | lip color | bangle** |necklace Happy Thanksgiving week y’all! I am counting down the days until I can stuff my face full of all the wonderful holiday food and thanking God for outfits like these that hide the little food pooch bound to follow after our meal! The weather here is dreadfully cold in the mornings and warms up to the high 60s sometimes low 70s by the afternoon. This leaves us with the “what on Earth am I supposed to wear today?” Question. I love layers during this time and it always helps hide any extra “fluff” you are toting around…
