Spring Must Haves

Spring shopping is a little different this year. No window shopping, no stopping in to try on and no long walks through target with a Starbucks in hand.

We are all spending lots of time at home. Unless you are a glutton for punishment, jeans are not happening. I found myself typing in things like ‘women’s loungewear’ and ‘athleisure clothes’ into my favorite online retailers search bar.. I have put together my favorites. Things that are comfy for all day teaching homeschool... but if you walk to the mailbox or take out the trash your neighbor won’t be suspicious whether you are in your jammies still.

Athletic clothes are a must have... we are taking lots of walks and bike rides. Side note, we live in the South where it is already experiencing days of sunshine and hot weather. So most of my choices are warm weather friendly.

Old Navy & Target are a couple of my favorite retailers for reasonably priced athletic gear. These blush 4’’ inseam athletic shorts are so cute (Old Navy) paired with the subtle tie dye split side shirt (Target) is perfect for a long bike ride on a hot Georgia afternoon!

I ordered this tie dye dress from Target before all this shelter in place stuff had started. I’m calling
this my gateway into tie dye. I love it. It’s a fun length and comfortable and airy ... it looks adorable.

These Pajamas right here are my favorite! I have two pairs! I first got these when I was breadtfeed My third baby. They were perfect for nursing. They are comfortable and classic. The material is soft and stretchy.

The last two springs I have gottten a new pair of Birkenstock’s. Many of you balk are the idea of over $100 for a pair of sandals... but really & truly they are worth it. I pretty much either wear athletic shoes or birks everyday. I wear mine with simple summer dresses or shorts, jeans or leggings. I don’t really need a new pair this spring, because my rose gold ones from last year are still in great shape. But if I buy some... I want to try this style!

Basically my go to wardrobe during this crazy time needs to be ‘do-it-all’ friendly. I need to be able to take a walk, cook dinner, work through math, clean the toilets and play frozen 2 with my three year old. I need wash well, fit well, snuggle well and be comfortable. The world is crazy and uncertain, I want to be a cozy spot for my kids to lean in to.

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.

What to wear Wednesday

everyday earrings. I LOVE earrings. Dangly, simple, bold, statement.... I love them all. I can hardly get out of target without a new pair of earrings. The earrings I’m talking about today are a pair I happened upon before Christmas when I was hunting for something else. I wear these a lot and as far as I’m concerned they match everything! Tortoise Shell is such a hot look right now. I have 2 other pair in this color, but different styles. I equate the tortoise shell look to leopard.... it’s a neutral in my book. My ‘momiform’ tends to be athleisure wear. I love to be able to sneak in a walk or 10 minutes of yoga between errands, cleaning, coloring with my two year and so on. Let’s be honest... it’s also so comfy! I think tortoise shell accessories look especially great with dark colors... like black leggings! These little studs are lightweight and versatile. I wear them 2-3 days a week! They are so good. I found mine at Charming Charlies before Christmas. When

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV. Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to your
