Happy weekend friends!  I’m finishing up this post in the Big Apple and even though I lost it leaving Jordan, now I’m so glad I came and excited because we still have one full day to explore the city!   Today we’re doing our food tour and seeing Waitress and then a super late dinner.  I’ll definitely let you know how everything was in case you’re ever in NYC and want to try either.  I’ve been trying to Snap or InstaStory (@honeywerehome) while I’m here so you can share in what we’re doing.  It feels like being a universe away from home,

Packing for NYC & Our Plans

Packing for NYC & Our Plans

Okay, you guys seriously rock!  Ask and you shall receive!  I asked for help narrowing down my dress choices and y’all let me know what you thought!  Thank you!  Sometimes you just want that extra input from your girlfriends to help you decide.  I respect your opinions (y’all are a smart bunch with good taste!) and appreciate you taking the time to weigh in.

After my mini meltdown yesterday (as seen on Snap) when Grandma took Jordan to her house, I had to pull myself together and get focused on getting ready to get out the door.

Wasn’t it just Friday, like, five minutes ago?!  That’s how I feel today, but isn’t that always the case when you’re trying to get ready to go out of town.  Thank you so much for weighing in on all the outfits– it actually really helped!  I’ll show you on Wednesday everything I’m bringing and see what you think. And of course now, I’m getting all those sad feelings about leaving the kids- espeically Jordan since she’s still just such a little baby!  And she’s at that stage where she wants to be wherever I am.

Help! What Should I Pack for New York?

Help! What Should I Pack for New York?

So the consensus is in from last week that the two dresses I was considering taking to New York for the Better Homes & Gardens event aren’t really going to cut it.  While a few of you gave the blue dress a thumbs up, many other people said it wasn’t very figure flattering and the embroidered rust and white dress (while pretty) is probably too Springy for NY this time of year.  I’m actually happy to hear that because I’ve been dying to get into some of my Fall clothes and haven’t really been able to do that here.

I’m sure you’ve noticed it’s been awhile since I’ve done any decorating around here!  The last major project was my office and I’m still enjoying it so much!  I’m actually sitting at my desk right now typing this with my cup of coffee close by!  

I have lots of things on my to-do list that I feel like I can never get to lately!  It’s been all about life with a newborn and 1st grader, then working on getting said newborn to sleep in her nursery all night long,

Fall Must Have | Black Skinny Jeans

Fall Must Have | Black Skinny Jeans

Happy Hump day friends! I’ve been in such a funk the past couple days because I haven’t slept well, and man, can that really mess you up!  Getting good rest is one of my goals on the 40-Day Challenge (latest update here) and I’ve been struggling so hard with that one!  I’ve been in that vicious cycle where I’ve woken up so tired, drank too much coffee during the day, then can’t get to sleep at night! What do you do to make sure you get to bed early and have a good night’s sleep?!

Day in the Life with a 6 Month Old

Day in the Life with a 6 Month Old

Can y’all believe Jordan is six months old already?!  And she just turned 7 months old yesterday! Since our son is 6 years old, it’s obviously been awhile since we’ve had a baby in the house and little Jordan is making me vividly remember those early days with James.  This is where it really gets fun though, right?!  She’s just the cutest thing! I can put the top of her hair in a teeny bow now and it keeps it out of her face.  So adorable!!

But this girl is already on the go and so much so that I can’t keep my eyes off of her.

Weekend Steals | Two Dresses for NYC

Weekend Steals | Two Dresses for NYC

Happy weekend friends!  We’re mid-September and Jordan turns 7 months old on Sunday!  I can hardly believe it, and I’ll have a baby update for you on Monday!  I know I’m biased, but she is just too dang cute!!  This is where it really starts getting fun!  At the end of the month, I go to NYC for a few days for the Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker event and it’ll be the first time I’ll be gone from Jordan for that long.  I know she’ll be in good hands with Grandma, but I’m gonna miss her terribly!  I’ll have to Facetime her to get my daily fix of her sweetness!

Transitioning to Fall | 3 Budget Friendly Outfits

Transitioning to Fall | 3 Budget Friendly Outfits

We have been on quite the roll with Fall fashion this month!  I think that always happens in September – we’re ready to wear those Fall looks and are looking at YOU, weather, to cooperate! Bit by bit, I’m amping up my Fall wardrobe and even ordered too many things for Jordan recently.  I showed incredible restraint early on, and we had been given so many things for newborn through the first three months, but I looked up and now she’s growing and outgrowing her clothes and wearing 6-9 months, even some 12 months!   As a first time girl mom,

Wear to Work | Pretty Pencil Skirt

Wear to Work | Pretty Pencil Skirt

Y’all asked for more wear-to-work styles, and I’m happy to oblige! Even though I ‘work’ from home, I remember well those days of getting all ready every morning to go to the office and always looking for work outfit inspiration.  The good news is, lots of work wear transitions well to happy hour or date night, so you can get double bang for your buck out of most of these outfits!

At home, I’m usually in jeans, but for work, I mostly wore skirts and dresses because they felt polished and professional.  Also, unless you get the fit of your pants just right,

40-Day Challenge | Full Day of Meals with Macros

40-DAY CHALLENGE UPDATE

8/22/16:  Weight 111, Body Fat 22.7% (starting stats)

8/29/16:  Weight 108, Body Fat 21.7% (Wow! Lost one whole point in a week, fantastic!)

9/07/16:  Weight 106, Body Fat 19.1% (OMG! I’m at my goal already! I thought it would take longer!)

p.s.  I’m 5’1.

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning when I wake up, but by the time I weigh-in at the gym, I’m a couple pounds up.  I decided to go with my weight at the gym since that’s the number my trainer uses when calculating my body fat.

Hair Update & Shoulder Baring Tops

Hair Update & Shoulder Baring Tops

Hello Monday friends! Did y’all have a good weekend?  We had such a nice time with family celebrating my Mom’s birthday on Saturday.  We don’t take her for granted for a minute and she’s been in heaven loving on her two new grandbabies.  My little brother has a 6 week-old too and I’m so happy to see our small but tight family growing!  Over the weekend, Jordan also graduated to full-on sitting on her own and now we have to watch her even more closely because she’s prone to tipping over and already bumped her head twice.  I have a baby update coming for you next week,

Now & Later | Plaid Top

Happy Friday! That came fast, right?! I’m all for another weekend and this one is extra special because we’re celebrating my beautiful mom’s birthday!  She is such a special person and I’m so very thankful to get to spend so much time with her now.  She comes over during the week and helps me with Jordan and she is just so good with her.  Jordan absolutely adores Grandma and is at that stage where she only wants people she knows to hold her, and Grandma is on the top of list.  My mom is the best kind of grandma that always encourages and compliments me as a mom too.

How to Use My Fitness Pal for Beginners (Video)

Hi guys!  I hope y’all are waking up today feeling refreshed and energized from a good ‘ole long weekend!  We had a great time in Austin, but three people in one bed, including one wild monkey, did not make for the best sleep. I swear I fear for my life when I sleep with James because he seriously does somersaults in his sleep!  Even when you have a great time out of town, it’s always so good to come home to your own bed!

Last Monday, I gave you the low-down on my 6-months post baby body and my new goal of losing some body fat in the next 40 days,

Our Weekend & Labor Day Sales!

Our Weekend & Labor Day Sales!

I hope y’all are enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  We made the quick trip to Austin for the UT game and are heading back home.  I thought we’d never get out the door on Saturday morning though!  Even for a two-day trip, there’s so much to remember to pack for the baby and it felt like we couldn’t get it together.  We didn’t get on the road until about 12:30 when my husband said the night before he thought we’d head out around 8:30! Ha! Then, Jordan had a mini meltdown before falling asleep in the car and James felt carsick,

Weekend Steals & Fall Boho Dress

Weekend Steals & Fall Boho Dress

Back to Friday and the long Labor Day weekend!  We’re making our annual trip to Austin for the UT football game, but it’s at 7pm, which is way past Jordan’s normal bedtime, so I have a feeling she and I will be having a little girl date in the hotel instead.  That’s okay with me!  Maybe I’ll make it my cheat meal and order room service and a glass of wine.  On Tuesday I’ll update you with how the 40-Day Challenge is going and share how to use My Fitness Pal.  You can customize it to your specific goals and I’m so excited to hear that so many of you are wanting to get in shape with me now!
