Layering a Cable Knit Sweater with a Cargo Jacket

Utah has been giving us a run for our money recently! Some days are warm (for us) & sunny, others have us snowed in. This pregnant lady is layering a lot & trying to get the most use out of my non maternity and maternity pieces. I love cable knit sweaters and this one from Filly Flair is nothing short of amazing! It’s not maternity, but I…

Maskcara IIID Foundation Review

Who here has tried the Maskcara IIID Foundation? I was super lucky to have Cara do our makeup a couple years back at SNAP Conference. She has a crazy amount of talent in bringing out people’s best features. When she spoke at Elevate, she brought 1 lady up to do her brows, and another lady up for contouring and highlighting. It was so fun to…

Blush Maxi Skirt & Lace Crop Top

Who is not loving blush right now?! When I went to Alt Summit this winter, I helped plan an opening dinner with Cents of Style and we asked that everyone wear the Pantone color of the year, Rose Quartz (blush). Of course I hopped onto Pinterest and typed in Blush Maxi Skirt…This was the first pin and the outfit was stunning. When I found this…

Style – Spring Dress with a Sage & Harper Backpack

Happy Monday everyone! Did you guys have a good weekend? We have a cousin in town visiting and have been running around eating at a bunch of fun places. I’ve hung out at home while the boys have gone skiing & even got a nap! The nap alone would have made it a great weekend, but good food and amazing company makes it even better.…

Instagram post 18047229859280918 January 13th seems like a great day to share our Christmas morning picture 😁
.
When I found out my parents availability, we crammed as much as we could into the time we had with them. Dad might have wanted to punch me OR the Christmas lover inside of him soaked it all up, hard to tell. We made Christmas trains, gingerbread houses (thank you person who came up with premade!), sugar cookies (thank you @leeannmiller for the yummy recipe!), had fancy meals (thank you to my stud husband!), watched football, Dad made his famous eggnog (said he was sure it was his best one yet!), & watched Christmas Vacation.
.
We were a little disappointed it was our first year waking up without it being white, but then remembered my husband and I grew up without white Christmases and somehow we survived 😉.
.
If 2021 is anything like 2020, I’m feeling very happy that I opted for loungewear for our pajama tradition.
Instagram post 17868235481158949 Merry Christmas Eve friends! Sipping hot chocolate & snacking on this spread, Christmas movies on repeat, wrapping presents & dinner with family is how we will be spending the day. Thank heavens for Steve who will be making dinner and balancing out the treat consumption ❤️
.
We hope you have a beautiful & safe holiday with your loved ones 🌲😘
Instagram post 17900127667641229 It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, but who is around it. ❤️
.
An idea was given to try a tray with cupcakes & I upped it to @nothingbundtcakes because 😋🥰😋🥰
.
If you are local, my darling cousins own @nothingbundt_j_and_t in Lehi, UT so stop by and grab some treats for the holidays!
Instagram post 18062386639260050 Me: Why are you not looking at the camera?
Dad: I heard it’s cooler to look into the distance. 😂😍
I was trying to get him to smile for a picture, he was trying to get his friend’s attention across the street, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s 😢
.
We surrounded him like bubble wrap, masked up & headed to church so Mr. Christmas could enjoy the music & see people.  I searched high and low & found my carefully stored St Andrews scarf that he brought me back from Scotland. Decided it was the perfect pop of red to wear today. ❤️ Love him, love our family, and love the spirit of the Christmas season. 🌲
Instagram post 17881409404949740 Challenge accepted...savory board with a little bit of sweet! After I made this, I realized it’s a complete meal & fed our family dinner & dessert! Also if someone ever tells you it’s easy to use a cookie cutter on cheese & keep the shape in tact, go right ahead and just call bs on that 🙈😂
.
What are your favorite meats & cheeses for charcuterie boards? Havarti with dill is mild and perfect for Christmas 🌲❤️
Instagram post 17947418713391058 Finding family night activities that everyone will enjoy is getting a little tough! Luckily Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is now streaming so we were able to plan a night we knew everyone would like! Playing with our dinosaur toys, making @popsecretpop with "dino eggs", & doing all the activities in the Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous packet-racing to see who could finish the word search first, all before the show even started. Thanks to @walmart for online grocery shopping for saving me every time. I would say the night was dyno-mite! #ad #watchpartysnacks #streamingnightideas #familywatchpartynight #familynight #familysnacking #popcornnight #popcornparty #JurassicWorldCampCretaceous #walmart
Instagram post 18120077596167296 Grateful we could try and figure out how to help you tie your tie. Grateful the roles have switched and we get to have you over for dinner. Grateful for the football chats, the big squeezes, and the piano requests. Grateful for the phone calls every night before bedtime & for a mutual love of @nicholassparks. Grateful for another December in holiday style, even if it’s just for a quick session of church at home.

If you haven’t, meet our Pro Joe, my dad. ❤️🌲
Instagram post 17853054326394487 I was rounding up some of my favorite things last month, thinking of my favorite small businesses and making holiday gift guides. I put together a bundle that I would love & I knew pretty much any woman would love 💡 And the lightbulb went off. I messaged my fave small businesses (in their busiest time of the year) & begged them to do a giveaway with me. They all agreed and have been super generous.
.
They are some of the sweetest, most driven & passionate people I know. The Instastory giveaway ends in a few hours and even if you aren’t into amazing giveaways or are done shopping,  follow them, give their content a handful of likes, leave a kind comment, share their content with your friends, write them an encouraging dm. In a year that has been anything but normal, it is so easy to support small businesses. 💗 @therosynook @sarahlouco @bloomheadwraps @emiandkaypjs
Instagram post 17983181248319365 Snapped this photo at my sister-in-laws house....fully taking advantage of my talented family members and using the free babysitting card and grabbing a pic with their fun backdrop on the way out! 
This sweater is a fave of mine - and it is $14!! On sale from $20, which was already a steal! Linking it in the free @liketoknow.it  app so you can shop it! http://liketk.it/33DNp #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert #LTKgiftspo
