Hi friend! I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend and are heading into the week feeling recharged!  I had a full weekend with late nights, but got in several naps, so I feel like I made up for it.

Yesterday, our weather was glorious after many days of unusually cold temps, so I went for a jog outside. The fresh air really did me good!

Valentine’s Day is just over one week away and I have several gift ideas for you (all under $25).  And, I’m sharing lots of Valentine’s Day goodness at Target!

Good morning friend!  We are moving slow after a really wonderful Christmas.  I’m actually going through all my photos and videos now so that I can share them here and on Stories soon!

Today, I’m going to my favorite workout class with Colleen, a 60-year old powerhouse that works us so hard and puts me in the best mood.

Then, my mom will be here and we’ll continue our search for apartments.  She currently lives about 25 minutes away and will be moving closer next month.  I’m so excited for that and so is she!

Hi friend! I can’t believe we only have a little over a week until school is out for Christmas break.  Do we have any big plans? Nope!

I’ve learned over the years not to get too busy scheduling things, they tend not to happen anyway.  We’ll probably just play it by ear and spend lots of cozy days at home.

My son loves having friends over or visiting at their house and Jordan is my little shadow that loves baking, bottle flipping/dice stacking and basketball.

When James does have his friends over, they love to watch all their favorite sports through our SlingTV –

Hi friend! I hope you are having a fabulous week so far! It’s one of my favorite weeks of the year because my mom and I are heading to our local holiday fair – the annual Nutcracker Market on Friday!  It’s a tradition for just the two of us to go every year and I love getting that one-on-one time with her.  We always stop for mimosas first and then hit up all the shops. So fun!

For me, it’s that day that signals the start of the holiday season and all the festive things to come until the end of the year. 

Hi friend! I’m so happy to hear that all of you are on board with me letting the Just Sales posts go in lieu of more meaningful content.  It feels very refreshing for me too!

A few of you mentioned that you only get my content via my blog, so I will continue to link my Goodies posts for you here too.  And if you missed Amazon Live, it’s here for you!

Today, let’s dive deeper and I’ll share my real secret for getting things done.  And my secret might surprise you.

Hi friend! Welcome to a brand new week. I love a fresh start, even if that means Monday!

Has Fall weather hit your area yet?  It’s funny (not really) that it’s been so hot here that we were at the pool this weekend! And I’m still preparing to run that dang half marathon on October 30. I was thinking October would be a good time for a race because it would be cooler, but it’s not looking that way so far!

BUT, I’m still loving the touches of Fall I’ve added to my home and the Fall inspired outfits!
