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 17880954082533004 Three years ago my sweet Ty came into the world. He has literally been the answer to every individual prayer our family was praying. After a few minutes of weighing, cleaning, and whatever else the doctors & nurses do, I remember the doctor saying, “Well, that definitely couldn’t have gone better. His cord was wrapped around his neck a couple of times & the cord was also knotted in the middle making it extremely difficult to get the nutrients he needed.” . I’ve never let my mind go into that spiral of what if, but to my darling 4th baby, thanks for hanging on for a minute. I feel like your life is a series of wait a second, and hang on, and not yet, and patience in being the last baby & you proved from day 1, you were the baby to do it. Happy Birthday dear Ty Ty. You are so incredibly cherished. 💙
Instagram post 17853532948896689 Does board making count for some type of education or will it get us course credit? If it does, I’m feeling pretty prepped for the next couple of weeks. If not, I’m still gathering screen shots of all the color coded ideas for how to run a day of school at home put together by some genius people. . I loved stocking up for 🌈 goodies at @zurcherspartystore for St Patrick’s Day! They have the best party treats for every occasion! 🍀🍀🍀 If anyone wants a 🍋 baby shower, let me throw it! They have the cutest summer party stuff and I’m looking for every possible reason I could throw a party.
Instagram post 17857987492778243 Feeling grateful for the privilege & slightly overwhelmed by the responsibility of raising these sweet sisters. I’m grateful for the women in my life who have shown up, who have called, who have listened & understood, who have helped me become the woman, wife & mother I strive to be. For the women who have led by example & love over judgement & shame. Especially for my mom & my sister. . The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble. Serena Williams #internationalwomensday
Instagram post 17849960959909586 Happy National Flapjack Day! Breakfast is our favorite so I can get behind any fun holiday that has to do with breakfast foods. Thanks @kodiakcakes for making a gluten free mix so I can still enjoy without the bloat. Happy Saturday friends! ❤️
Instagram post 17874629983572597 When you love what you have, you have everything you need. 💙 In a season where I’m feeling extremely stretched in so many different directions, I’m hoping that unconditional love will fill all the spaces where I fall short. And I hope that Ty will always crave being the center of attention because he has been killing it these last *almost* 3 years.
Instagram post 17852199139862031 Visiting @blackberryfarm was an experience like nothing I’ve had before, definitely inspiring, & had me soaking in every ounce of information we learned. I’m still trying to process it all from the amazing food to the most gorgeous backdrop to the true southern hospitality we were shown. . Meet Neza, the cutest pup, training to herd. Her owner, Christen, was so kind to let me get my dog fix & take her around to see the ins and outs of the property. By the end, I was giving Steve the look of this is what dreams are made of. . I have been craving simple (which I know with kids is laughable), different, space, & time to be. Do you ever get like that? Luckily, Steve isn’t impulsive so we haven’t done anything drastic...yet. Our trip here had something to do with our fun news that I hinted at months ago. Hoping with a few logistics, I’ll be able to share soon!
Instagram post 17854677475829248 Ty: Joe, we are twins & we are beasts. Joe: Yeah we sure are. Raspberries, blondies & the same person 10 years apart.
Instagram post 17882816011506892 The first time the school called, the nurse & I thought Tylenol would fix the back pain & told Bailey if it didn’t to come back in and I would pick her up. The 2nd time they called, I was literally stepping out of the shower & my sweet friend from the office said, “you need to come quick. I’m not sure if she’s going to throw up or faint, but she’s in a lot of pain.” . Ty was in the bath. I threw a diaper on him & a robe over me (the glamorous outfit-minus hair & makeup if you swipe over 😂) We ran outside & were at the school in 4 minutes. . I ran inside only wearing a robe & winter boots finding the nurse, office staff, & principal with Bailey. Trying to comfort her while she’s in level 10 pain & throwing up. . We met dad at home, threw on clothes, & rushed her to the hospital. A few hours later we found out she had a kidney infection that developed after a bladder infection that developed after a week of influenza b. 😢 . Hindsight is 20/20 & I learned a couple of signs that might be helpful if this were to happen again. That being said, for all the days that being a mom seems mundane, like you are invisible, like your to do list never gets shorter, the brain fog is thick & the days are exhausting, there is no doubt that you are doing the work of a small army. The amount of details of food eaten, meds given, & signs missed I was able to give to a doctor while panicked, even surprised me. . I’m grateful for the mundane. For the ordinary. For the hard so that I can appreciate the simple. For mother’s intuition & for these 4. They are our world. 🌎💙
Instagram post 17863164124667370 X ❤️ X ❤️ After school snacks with some of our favorite friends are all of my childhood dreams of being a mom come true. Even if I have to bribe them with all the things, I hope our house is a place people want to be for years to come. ❤️ Swipe to see the prep video, if only it took 35 seconds instead of 10 minutes 😉
