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!

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup is an absolute classic.   Homemade tomato soup is  delicious and so easy, it also happens to be one of my family’s favorites. It’s easy to make on the stove top. A good heavy bottom pot, wooden spoon & immersion blender or regular blender. Ingredients: 1 medium onion 3-4 stalks of celery 6-7 carrots 1-2 tablespoons of butter Salt Pepper 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried basil 2 large cans or tomatoes  1 carton on chicken stock 1/2 cup Parmesan  Milk    or half & half  In a large pot, melt butter on medium high heat. Add large chunks of onion. Let get translucent or just a little browned. Then add celery and carrots. Large chunks is fin because this whole soup will get blended down. Season throughout cooking process. Stir regularly.  As veggies begin to soften add tomatoes. Stir well, put lid on and lower to medium/low heat. Let come to a boil stirring occasionally to avoid scalding...

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...
