Wardrobe Wednesday | In the Dressing Room #2

Wardrobe Wednesday | In the Dressing Room #2

Call me a sucker (or willing participant), but that Loft Cash I got when I went shopping at Loft last month lured me back into their store on the last day before those funds expired.  #phewthatwasclose! I found so many cute things!  I can’t wait to show you!

This gingham top caught my eye right away.  It’s lightweight and the cap sleeves are adorable. You could wear it tucked for a more professional look at work and it would be perfect with black slacks (these were a fave when I worked in an office full-time) or a skirt (this flare style is great),

Our 3 Month Old Baby Routine

Our 3 Month Old Baby Routine

If you’ve been following my blog for long, you know I’m all about organization, schedules, and routines.  It’s just the way I’m wired and my Mom tells me I’ve been that way since I was a toddler, organizing all my toys and books from an early age.  I haven’t purposefully tried to put our newborn, Jordan, on a schedule but since she’s been born, I’ve tracked her feedings and sleep times on this tracker, and after a couple months, recognized her pattern.  I’m glad I did because having some expectation of when she’ll be napping and eating helps me know when I can eat or get some things done during the day!

Here we go with the 3rd fitness post for June!  We started with a healthy weekly meal prep, followed up with a good full body weight workout you can do at home, and now it’s time to talk cardio and get our booties moving!

Weekend Steals | Outfits Lately

Hi friends!  Happy Friday!!  I think we’re really settling into our summer groove now and I’m excited to share some cheap or FREE things you can do with your kiddos this summer next week.  I was nervous about being home alone with two kids (one a baby!) this summer, but my friend Melissa (with three kids and one a little younger than Jordan!) has given me new confidence about how much fun you can have with two! I was talking to her about all the things they’d been doing and I was all, if they can do it, I bet we could too.

Men & Babies

Men & Babies

Remember when I told you a few weeks ago that I was wishing my husband would be more involved with the baby?  Well, I’ve just been handing her off more lately, . . . here you go!  🙂 I’ve captured some snaps of when he is holding her and there’s probably nothing sweeter than a little baby girl and her Daddy!

I think I’m also way less resentful that he’s getting to enjoy all the fun stuff with James and I’m just on baby duty because now James is home with me for the summer and we’ve been having such a good time together that it’s taken the edge off.

Office Updates

Office Updates

It’s only been a couple months since my home office makeover was finished, but even at the time of the final reveal, there was still one thing missing – the chairs for my table, which hadn’t arrived yet. In the final reveal post, I just kept the black chairs I had originally, and they actually went pretty well with the space, tying in with the black mirror over the chest.  

Even though my desk is pretty large, it’s still great to have another flat surface to spread out on and work from.

Seared Pork Chops & Miso-Glazed Chicken Wings with Blue …

Seared Pork Chops & Miso-Glazed Chicken Wings with Blue Apron

I hope y’all had a great Father’s Day weekend! We’re in full swing summer mode and it’s getting hotter and hotter! Houston summers are brutal with the heat and humidity, so there’s lots of pool time and looking for activities we can do inside with AC.  We get outside for early mornings or evenings, but unless there’s water involved, it’s too hot to be outside in the daytime for long!  #heatstroke

Our weekly meal prep is still in full effect, but after trying Blue Apron a couple months ago, we (my husband especially) were looking forward to doing it again.

Weekend Steals | Mix & Match Summer Outfit Inspo

Weekend Steals | Mix & Match Summer Outfit Inspo

What’s on your weekend agenda?! Only a friend’s birthday pool party here, and of course, celebrating Dad, which is A-Ok by me!  I hope y’all have a wonderful Father’s Day!

This Mix & Match summer outfit inspiration post is like the wardrobe version of round robin. One thing goes with the next, that goes with the next to end up with several different outfits from just a few things.  I had fun putting this post together, let me know if you like it and I’ll do more of these!

I started with my summer go-to, these cutoff jean shorts that by now the price per wear is probably negative 0.

Preserving Memories With Legacybox

Preserving Memories With Legacybox

Not a day goes by that we don’t think about my Dad.  I wish he could’ve met Jordan, but no doubt James will fill her in as he clearly remembers Grandpa and talks about him all the time.  We all miss him terribly, and it’s getting easier to laugh about the good times and reminisce about funny stories lately.   Luckily, there are no shortage of those! I’m glad we have such a close-knit family and precious memories to share.

So many of our pictures of my Dad and the rest of our family have just been stored loose in shoe boxes.

Favorite Bags Under $50

Favorite Bags Under $50

Let’s hear it for hump day!  Three days into the week and I’m already worn out and looking for the weekend!  Anyone with me?!  School’s out doesn’t mean any shortage of work for mom!  Ha!  Who knew going from one to two kids could take so much energy?!  In some ways, it’s easier because you have experience on your side and feel more confident in your mothering abilities, but on the other hand . . .  there’s two of them!  A mama alone at home is outnumbered! I can’t complain, or maybe I just did! Oops! But I know you get it!

Full Body Workout at Home

Full Body Workout at Home

How was your weekend?! We mostly took it easy at home and also tried out our Blue Apron meals that arrived.  Did you see my hubby and I preparing the chicken wings on Saturday night on snapchat (@honeywerehome)? I’ll share those meals here hopefully later this week. Today, I’m back with another fitness post for ya!  I will say that after a few trips to the pool recently, my motivation is renewed to get back in shape. 😉 Last week, I showed you how I prep our food for a week full of healthy meals and I loved hearing how that was helpful for you!

Weekend Steals

Weekend Steals

Today we’re making it a pool day with the kids and Grandma and my two nieces.  We’ve been looking forward to it all week.  It’s getting HOT here, about to reach 90!  What about where you are?? I just ordered this baby swim float, but not sure that Jordan will use it just yet.  It’s recommended for 9 months, but the reviewers were using it with 5 and 6 month olds.  She may just stay in the shade with me or Grandma, or dip her toes in, but I’m happy that James is getting better at swimming.  Did you see him diving for those rings on snapchat?

Stylish Decor Finds at an Unexpected Place

Stylish Decor Finds at an Unexpected Place

Now that my office redesign is wrapped up and fully functional and Jordan has a gorgeous room to call her own, it’s time to give James a room he loves too with his personal touch and fun personality.   He moved into the guest room to make room for Jordan and it’s been kind of a hodge podge since then.  He told me recently that he wants a “Star Wars” room, and he was very specific about how the decor should look, from the ceilings to the walls.  He even drew me a design plan of how it should look!

Hi guys!  I’m so glad you liked my Meal Prep post!  Especially with summer around, I find that it’s best to have things on hand to throw meals together quickly and if they help our waistline, even better!  I did a snapchat video on it yesterday so you could see how quick it is to cook the chicken and TexMex ground beef.  The video isn’t particularly pretty, but I cared more about just sharing the info with you! We are going to do more Blue Apron meals to mix it up, so I’ll share our next one with you when I get it.

Healthy Weekly Meal Prep

Healthy Weekly Meal Prep

Second week of summer is in full effect!  Now that the weather is getting hotter and we’re spending more time outdoors (and at the pool!), I know a lot of you are wanting to get in better shape.  You’re not alone! Even though I’ve lost most of the baby weight, I still have about 5 pounds to lose and I’d like to put back on the muscle I lost while I was pregnant.  I won’t be able to workout with my trainer as much this summer, and I know most of you probably workout alone too, so I’ll be sharing some of my workouts tips this month.

Weekend Steals | Top 10 Nordstrom Sale

Weekend Steals | Top 10 Nordstrom Sale

Our first week of summer vacation got off to a great start, despite the rain.  How is yours going?? We took advantage of an hour break in the rain for a swim at the pool, and hopefully next week we’ll get in more pool time! #myfave  I’ve been sharing video snippets on Snapchat (@honeywerehome), have you seen?!  I’m still getting used to it, but so far it’s not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be. Makes me feel like I could’ve gotten on the bandwagon sooner!  Are you on snapchat?  The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t comment so there’s not the same interaction like on Instagram.

Wardrobe Wednesday | Dressing Room Edition

Wardrobe Wednesday | Dressing Room Edition

Last week, I got a chance to meet my girlfriend Veronika for lunch while my mom stayed home with Jordan.  My days with help from Grandma are numbered so it was wonderful to get to have that time for a friend get-together. Afterward, I took advantage of an hour and actually shopped for clothes inside.a.store!  I can’t remember the last time I did that!  I’ve gotten so comfortable shopping online, especially from Nordstrom because I know my sizes there and returns are so easy.  Right now Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale is going on,
