I totally have that post Easter Holiday hangover over here. We had such a fun day filled with finding Easter Baskets, three egg hunts, brunch and family dinner. It was a packed and exhausting day, but my heart was so full. There's something about Easter that is so refreshing. The idea of renewal, a fresh start and hope just gives me so much strength and courage to continue moving forward, despite any negativity and set backs I have encountered. Like any holiday, I start thinking about family traditions and how they get passed on from generations. Or even hearing of old traditions that are no longer around because it wasn't liked, or it was time to try something new. Regardless, I started ... read more

15 Family Dinner Table Conversation Starters
Well, that sure was a whirlwind of a weekend. Anyone else feel this way? We have these kind of weekends every other week. We live super close to my sister and she has my nephew every other weekend. These weeks are our favorites because the kids play and entertain themselves. My sister and I cook and then we can sit back, relax and enjoy being adults. It's just nice. We stay in, have a good home cooked meal and occasionally enjoy a nice bottle of wine, or try out a new beer. It's just so chill, we often laugh for hours and the kids run around having a ball. It's these kind of moments and memories I want my kids to look back on, remember and think about how awesome it was. At one point this ... read more
Easter Dresses For Every Budget
As someone who primarily wears any and all casual things, it is nice to dress up every now and again. So often I'm in Mom Mode, so wearing dresses and heels doesn't happen all that often.

What To Wednesday: 7 Ways To Wear A Black Sweater For Spring
https://youtu.be/JQvJBuTj3jI I feel like I say this every week, but sharing these outfit ideas is my favorite style of post. We all want to feel like when we buy something it's not just for one outfit. We want to feel like we're buying things with a purpose. Ever since I can remember, I have had this theory of buying things with the idea of what the price per wear is. So finding new ways to wear something helps me, and you, maximize our purchases. Last week, I shared my KC Fashion Week round-up. During that week I was given some pretty awesome swag, this black sweater included. It's from a cute store here in Kansas City, Scout & Molly's. We had one of these boutiques in Walnut Creek, I ... read more

KC Fashion Week Fall/Winter ’19 Recap
Happy Friday! This has been a very long and crazy week, per usual! I feel like we all say that, every Friday... amiright?!?! Anyway, I thought I'd round out the week with a recap of last week's KC Fashion Week activities. I am so honored I was asked to be apart of their very first Influencer Collective group of women to help cover the 15th season. I loved being able to meet so many people I have followed on Instagram for a while, as well as meet so many new people! It's funny a couple of people asked me if I'd ever been to KC Fashion week before and at first I said no, but later remember I use to go years ago. Probably when it first started, and my sister walked the runway. Way back ... read more

How I Became A Makeup Minimalist
Since we moved I have become all kinds of interested in decluttering and minimizing so many things in my life. I think it started after working with my friends over at Top Shelf Organizers. She taught me to look at things a little differently and since then I haven't had a problem throwing things away, donating and consigning. I'll be the first to admit that I still have a long way to go, but it's definitely the goal in our house. I first started with clothes, that was actually pretty easy. Especially because I didn't want to move anything I didn't really want or need. Little by little during our packing process I made my way to our master bathroom. I found the dreaded makeup bin. It was ... read more
