Monday Must Have - - Birkenstocks

I was definitely on the fence. I had a misconception about Birkenstock’s from when they were popular in the 90’s. I’m definitely not grungy enough to fit the profile of old. But last year, my very stylish friend says she swears by them. This friend is more stylish, in fashion and southern than I could ever hope to be. She is always put together and is #goals !!! So, I jumped in!

I ordered the patent white Arizona’s about a year ago, I LOVE them. I wear them all the time. I went through my pictures from the last year looking for times I wore these gems. Unfortunately, this activity led to the realization that our full length photos are few and far between. 😂

I’m to the age (ahem) that doing housework barefoot has started hurting my feet. So I literally wear these ALL year. If you have any kind of foot, back or joint issue, these are so supportive beneficial for many reasons.

They are great for travel, they slip on... but stay on. They are cute with white skinnies, cut-offs and sun dresses. They are my go to especially in the Spring and Summer. I live in Georgia, so they are pretty much in season 11 months out of the year.

They are an investment, but they have lasted so well and still have lots of wear left!

If you are on the fence, Birkenstock.com has a very friendly shipping and return policy. The variety of colors and finishes goes far beyond the grungy brown of its past popular seasons. The patents give a more polished look... the metallics 😍. I’m leaning towards the rose gold this year!

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 . These are the kid on thing you woul

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
