• Affordable Teeth Whitening in Your Own Home!

    I have had a love/hate relationship with my teeth since I was a teen. An overbite led to middle school braces (yay for colorful rubber bands) and then my teeth and I were on good terms, that is until as an adult I discovered coffee. Hello yellowing teeth. Thank goodness for my amazing experience with Smile Brilliant, an at home teeth whitening system that has given me great results!

  • The Perfect White Dress

    We always hear and talk about the Little Black Dress but this shimmery white dress definitely rivals any little black dress I own! This maternity dress stands out by itself with the color, the shimmer, and the flattering silhouette. What more could you ask for?! I had been searching for some maternity dresses to wear on my dates with the hubby however everything I had tried on was either too tight, too short, or just not flattering. Enter PinkBlush Maternity where I found this amazing dress, among other maternity clothes, that was exactly what I had been looking for. Great timing too because Valentine’s Day is coming up in less than a month and now I don’t have to…

  • Outfits For 2016… and an Announcement!

    So the secret is out… I’m expecting! We are so excited to announce that we are expecting a little boy in April of 2016 and we could not be more elated. This is baby #4 for me but even though I’ve done this a few times before, the excitement never gets old. What has been different this time around is that since I am due in April my 3rd trimester will be through the winter months whereas with my other three all being born in the summer/fall timeframe I was always bigger in the warmer months. Figuring out how to stay warm but also still dress cute has been a fun challenge that has opened…

  • Fashion Friday: White Jeans

    Happy Friday everyone!  I’m excited to share with you a wardrobe piece that I just recently added to my collection. White jeans.  I know I’m on a white clothing kick with my white t-shirt post last week but hear me out.  There is just something so classic, clean, and effortless about white jeans.  Here I wore them with a simple black top and tan wedges. White Jeans – Similar Black Top – Similar Wedges Just like the white t-shirt, white pants are versatile, can go with pretty much anything, and can transition from casual to dressy by simply changing or adding accessories.   And I understand the fear of wearing white: the STAIN.…

  • Fashion Friday: The White T-Shirt

    Its Friday, the sun is shining and begging me to come outside! What to wear on a beautiful day like today? Then I see it: my white t-shirt.  Simple. Clean. And so easy to throw on with everything from a skirt, to shorts, to leggings.  The white t-shirt is such a basic staple that needs to be in every woman’s closet.  Why? Because it can be paired with almost anything and can transform itself to fit any situation or look just by changing and adding accessories.  Going out on a date? Throw on a skirt, colorful necklace, and some heels with your t-shirt.  Running around with the kids?  Simple pendant necklace, sandals, and skinny jeans and…

  • Top 5

    There are so many great things out there that I have had my eye on- clothes, places to go, decor, projects, and more.  So each week I am going to compile the top 5 things I have been obsessing over lately.  Sort of like a wishlist of things, or a dreambook. All the pictures of things you would like, or rooms you love looking at, or places you imagine yourself at.  As you go through these five things that I am loving think about what five things you would put on your wishlist. So here they are, in no particular order: 1. The White Kitchen. Via I LOVE THIS KITCHEN. Period.  The clean lines, the crisp white cabinetry, the…

  • Fashion Friday: The Maxi Dress

    With it being the first Friday of official summer break, I decided I would kick off the weekend with some awesome fashion finds! The first thing that came to mind when thinking about clothes that are effortless, comfortable, and yet also still look good (gotta keep my sanity and feel like a human while mothering 3 kids!) I came up with maxi dresses. The maxi dress: epitome of simple, classy, comfy, and perfect for the hot summer weather.  And as it may be TMI but understandable for all moms, the maxi dress is also nice because in the event I need to bend down, sit down, or even crawl I’m still looking presentable,…
