Memorial Day sales are in full swing! It's always a 50/50 chance if I actually take advantage, but this year there were a couple of things that were either on my wishlist (i.e. overalls!) or just too good to pass up. Not to mention some home decor deals and y'all know I've been on a [...]
Now more than ever, we're trying our best to shop small and support local. These businesses are truly the lifeblood of our communities and I thought it might be helpful to share a few different (and fun!) ways that you, too, can support the local spots you love. This obviously includes monetary support (i.e. buying [...]
Having a solid immune system has never been more important, so Dan and I have been taking steps to bolster ours even while we are social distancing. Aside from drinking lots of water, washing our hands and making sure to get a little exercise every day, we've also been making and taking some yummy homemade [...]

We're both thankful to still have jobs that we love, a cute house to spend this [...]
March is here! I don't know about you, but January and February always seem to drag by for me. This year in particular, I'm so excited for spring weather... which is probably evident in the fact that I wore a lot of spring-forward looks the past 2 months. Just trying to will it into existence, [...]
If you've been following along with me on Instagram for any recent period of time, you have likely witnessed firsthand my journey (read: saga) to becoming a successful plant mom. Back story: my mother (Pamela aka Momela) and her mother (Ruby Jean) have incredible green thumbs. Forgive me because I don't know proper terms (which [...]
I’m going to say something that might be unpopular with some of you… I think Valentine’s Day is really silly. Don’t get me wrong, I love any excuse to have a date night with Dan and/or eat excessive amounts of chocolate. But the older I get, the more commercial and superficial the holiday itself seems. [...]
Ah, the age-old debate... whether or not it's "okay" to wear white during the winter. Personally, I'm of the belief that you can do whatever you want, but there are definitely a few tricks to pulling it off. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Soft white is key. A nice winter white, [...]
