Blush Utility Jacket

Oh my! I couldn't be more excited about this piece. I love, love, love the look of a utility jacket....but if I am being honest olive green is just not my color. I don't think it looks good on me and I just don't love it. I was so excited when I spotted this blush one!

My mom LOVES Kohl's. She doesn't have one in the town where she lives, so whenever she comes down for the day she always wants to go out to eat and look around at Kohl's. So, we were shopping around looking here and there and I spotted it. This jacket is the prettiest light blush color, super light weight which is perfect for our weather here in Georgia. I think I can wear this jacket with a lot of different looks. Obviously I am pairing it with jeans, but I think it will be equally cute with a casual dress or shorts. I sized up as this jacket does not have any stretch and I am pretty broad shouldered....hello 2 decades of playing volleyball!

The rest of my outfit is simple and typical mom wear for me. I ordered this 'I Love coffee' sweatshirt from Target. It is soft and lightweight. It is going to be a great transitional piece, I can wear it with jeans as I am today or cut-offs as our weather warms up. It is from the juniors department, so I sized up. So speaking of sizes, I normally wear a large. I sometimes get down on myself or feel badly when I see all the cute gals I follow on IG who have amazing style... and they are all XS or S. Its ok to be an XS its ok to be an XL....everything in between and beyond. The most important thing is feeling confident in your skin. Being healthy and taking steps to improve and maintain health. Beauty is not one size fits all. Love you!

I'm wearing my favorite everyday shoes which I have blogged about before. You can see that post here.

I am wearing a pair of the pull-on rockstar leggings from Old Navy. They are my go to jeans right now.

I also have on the cutest pair of pink earrings on. I don't think you can see them very well in the picture but they are lightweight and the perfect shade of pink. Target recently had a deal on all their accessories, so I stocked up on items I had been eyeing for a while.

OK... So I love this outfit. I couldn't wait to take some pictures and share it on here. There is so much I love about it. Its comfy, practical and cute. I love a graphic tee. Cute sayings, holidays, you name it.....give me all the words. This outfit....all of the pieces are very friendly price points. This is to say, that you don't have to spend a fortune to look good and feel good. Be unapologetically you! This is me, casual & do everything mom who wants to look cute without spending a fortune!

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming. The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating. I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school. But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready. I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool. It allows us organization and frees our mornings up. When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer. This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space. Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...

Boundaries - - - Time for Childhood

Boundaries is a tricky subject matter. I think some people have a natural propensity for strong boundaries in their lives and some people have to work harder to establish them. When I say boundaries, I am specifically talking about ones ability to establish specific limits and guidelines for certain relationships and activities. I have a natural ability for well established boundaries. Many times friends and acquaintances have come to me seeking advice & recommendation on improving this area. I definitely don't say this to toot my own horn, but to share with you what I know about my successes and areas I still need to work on. One of the reasons boundary discussion can be complicated is that there are so many facets; emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, relationships boundaries & time boundaries... just to name a few. I could write an entire blog post on each facet of boundaries. And maybe I will get to all the points eventually. When you are a momma you ...

Cheeseburger Bowls

New Recipe! Trying to get back on track with eating. I’ve been like a 12 year old in the gas station market since school has been out! I’m attempting to be more carb conscious again. So I thought I’d work up a new summer recipe. What says summer more than burgers?!? You can certainly go the more traditional route and just 86 the bun or wrap it in lettuce. I wanted something even easier and more time friendly. I notice in summer it becomes a buffet at dinner... eating between sports, activities etc. So being able to make a plate as you need is ideal. Ingredients: Ground beef (I used a pound...easy to adjust for more or less) Season beef with: garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce Chopped Iceberg Lettuce Chopped Pickles Chopped Tomatoes Shredded Cheese (Chopped Onions would also be great... but my crew isn’t a big fan) Sesame Seeds *Really any toppings you love on top of a burger would be absolutely great! That is why ...
