Spring and Summer Must-Haves for Momma

Alright, it is mom's turn.  I have compiled a list of things I expect to LIVE in this summer.



I live in Georgia.  It is hot, so much of my must-haves are hot-weather friendly.  We are an active family.  I am hoping to play a good bit of tennis and golf this summer.  When I am not playing I will probably be watching one of my kids play.  So tennis and golf outfits are a must.

I know what you are thinking...that isn't my style.  Let me stop you right there.  Tennis and Golf outfits are so comfortable.  Tennis and golf skirts are literally the black leggings of the summer! Most of the skorts are pull on....comfortable.  Most are the same type of fabric as your favorite black leggings...comfortable..  All have a hugging spandex short underneath the skirt to provide coverage when I bend down and pick up my two year old....practical.  You look put together!  Trust me...you will see!  Hello Summer Uniform!


I found this pull-over at Belk not that long ago.  I saw, I loved, I bought.  I have a thing for scalloped edge detail.  It may be my weakness.  I have shorts, dresses and now a pullover.  This pullover is lightweight and feels terrific.  The material is liquid-y.  It is perfect for the occasional summer spring evening that you can still feel a chill in the air.

Fo those of you who don't live in the South, Belk is a department store.  It often is a stand alone store (thats how ours is) but sometimes can be found in the mall.  They have lots of brands, but I especially love their store brand called Crown & Ivy.  They have unique preppy style items that fit my lifestyle to a tee.



Birkenstocks.  You can see my original post that I did about my love for Birks here.  But basically let me tell you they are great. you will love them, you will live in these!


Cute pajamas are a must! With a couple of spring and summer trips with family comfy and modest pajamas are a must have. I love target pajamas, I have been buying different varieties for different seasons. I especially love the button front varieties.  These fabrics are incredibly soft, wash well and hold their shape. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than feeling like you have to get dressed before leaving your room at family's house.  That doesn't work for a momma who needs to check on kiddos.  Wear these cute pajamas with a bralette and you are good to go!



I spotted these darker floral print and had to have them. 


You all know I love earrings.  I talk abut earring all the time!  Lets be honest, we all have our vices.  I loved the large dangly variety.   The color just says summer.  They would look cute with anything from white jeans to a summer dress!
I think in Summer a couple of great pairs of sassy studs are a must.  They jazz up a simple outfit and aren't too much if you are going to the pool, park or on a hike.  It is a little way of saying ...I am making an effort to put my look together, without going over the top.



As I said in my previous posts, we did a little family vacation over Thanksgiving.  We stocked up on swimsuits for that.  I am hoping to make all of them last through this summer.  My favorite suit I wore on that trip was very similar to the one I highlighted here.  It had some peek-a-boo spots that keep the look sassy without feeling like a granny. I paired mine with a great kimono style cover-up and those exact shoes from Target.  I like to buy less expensive but still cute slides for the bool and beach, so if they get ruined...no big deal!



I was looking through the Academy Sports website and spotted these shorts and instantly fell in love. Do you see that price point?!?  Who doesn't need a great pair for shorts that is easy and you can throw on with a tee shirt and birks?  The answer is no one.  Everyone needs an easy throw on outfit, especially if you are a momma.
Finally, a classic summer dress.  Perfect for church or a date night.  I love how popular floral prints are right now. /feminine and classic,  I found this at old navy and thought it was perfect.  It would be cute paired with a light sweater or denim jacket.  Or if you are really edgy and moto leather number would be amazing!

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...

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 .

Monday Must Have - Organizing Products from Amazon

The next three weeks, I’m going to be focusing all of my posts on back to school efforts. Today is all about a couple of organization products I have picked up over the past couple of weeks.  If you have been inside my house lately....you know I need all the organization help I can get! One of the things that I always do is re-organize my kids closets. This summer I’ve got a step further. If you follow me on IG, you know that we’re in a big room transition right now. Our oldest daughter turned 10 the spring, and it is time for her to have her own room. She has previously shared a room with our seven-year-old daughter. We moved our seven-year-old in with her little sister, allowing our oldest to have her own room. This means there has been a need for organization on all fronts. Moving our middle daughter into the littlest’s room, the closet storage situation was the most critical. Specifically shoes. I hunted and hunted on Amazon to find the perfect solution.  I ...
