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!

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.  I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn.  I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package.  I dyed mine pink for the occasion.  Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels.  Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

What to wear Wednesday

Does  anyone else have a kiddo that is super picky about clothes???  I have 2...so far.  My oldest is picky about fit and feel, which makes it hard to shop for her.  Up until recently she would say that her biggest enemy in life were ‘jeans & mustard’.... first world problems! But that being said, when you take jeans out of the equation it really limits your outfit options. I mean jeans match everything. I have found the solution!  Target makes a super soft jegging in 3 different washes. She wears, loves and doesn’t complain. Light Wash Adjustable waist. Must have in my opinion for growing kids! They are on sale right now, buy 1 get 1 50%!!! That’s a great deal. You can find them here .
