It was a busy and exhausting weekend. Jacob was on call and basically gone most of the weekend so it was just me and the littles. But we had a fun outing with friends to Hyde Park to take a picture at the Pumpkin Patch. 1000 degrees here in FL but here we are posing with our Pumpkins!!

Linking my Tom’s shoes here. They’re comfortable and seem to be a good neutral transition shoe for Spring and Fall! I also love how they look with denim.

Paired with an easy Tshirt dress from Target. I’ve linked a similar one from Amazon here for less than $25: *Loving the hem of this one*

I shared this outfit on Saturday and I’m loving this Amazon find. One of the best tops and pairs so well with everything.

Shoes: A New Day by Target

Denim: J.Crew

Necklace: Stella & Dot, Wedding day fave 🙂

And that brings us to Monday. I hope your coffee is strong!

I have these jammies in so many colors but I’m loving this leopard print. They’re so comfortable!

Linked at Target here. Less than $25!

Side note, I love this dish set from Pottery Barn.

Happy Shopping!

There’s just something about a lip color that POPS that can completely transform a look.. and I love fall colors. I’ve rounded up my favorites below!

This one is a staple for me! I have seen it on multiple people and it looks great on everyone! Linked here from Target. Plus… it’s cheap!

Love this option from Ulta! It’s very similar to Divine Wine but a little more pricy. I would say it’s probably a better product though and really only $9!

This one is Smashbox, so it’s a little more pricy. I have linked it here on amazon for $23. I also found it on Ulta for $21, linked here.

Another good steal under $5 is this “True Red” option. Linked on Amazon here.

Another Revlon favorite is this shade “Black Cherry”, linked here from Walmart and here from Target, both under $5!

A berry shade, this one has been one of my favorites for awhile! Linked here on Amazon for under $6!

I’m actually really really loving this color again. It goes on super smooth. Linked here on Amazon for $27 and comes with a lip liner. Also very similar to the color below by Stila, but slightly more of a pink tone.

Y’all I saved the BEST for last.. this is the DEAL OF THE DAY! RUN to AMAZON and grab this lip color for $11. I love these Stila Liquid Lipsticks!

Happy Shopping!

Target has us covered for Fall staples this year! I styled these 2 pairs of pants and skirt with one pair of shoes multiple different ways just to show the versatility! These are great staples for your closet and such steals for the price! All linked below.

Leopard obsessed. These pants are only $25 and so comfortable! They run slightly large so size down. They are completely stretch and the print is a neutral leopard so there are so many possibilities. Paired with these shoes I love from A New Day at Target.

These shoes are on sale right now at Target.com with the Cartwheel app!

I think these pants look great with this scalloped J.Crew camisole, which is a great closet staple as well! These run small, so size up!

Next up is probably my favorite! This very neutral, leopard midi skirt. This also runs large, so size down! So cute and could be dressed so many ways. I think another great option would be a chunky oversized or fitted sweater!

Another great closet staple is a leather jacket. Obviously, these can either be a steal or a splurge! For a steal, I like this option from target.

For a splurge, I love this option by Chelsea28 on the Nordstrom website, priced at $209.

Last are these pants by A New Day from Target in the PERFECT shade of Cranberry. Again, priced at only $25, they would be perfect for work or casual, fun wear! I also think this color would be really pretty styled for Christmas with a chunky cream or white sweater!

I paired my pants with this lace cami from Ann Taylor that is now sold out, but I am linking a few alternative options like this cute racerback option from Express.

I also love this $18 option from Amazon!

Happy Shopping!

Let me share what the hardest part of motherhood is for me. It’s not the sleepless nights, the temper tantrums or the picky eating. It’s the mess.

I grew up in a house with “decorative towels”. You know, the kind that are hanging perfectly in the bathroom but you’re not supposed to actually touch or use them. This characteristic of things being neat, tidy and “clean” has carried into my adulthood and ultimately, into my mothering.

I’ve struggled with allowing Charlotte to feed herself because it always leads to food and crumbs all over the kitchen floor. The finger paints say “washable” but they stain the clothes and anything she may touch. The kinetic sand crumbles and leaves behind the tiniest pieces. The possibilities are endless.. and so is the cleaning!

A very dear friend of mine has walked this journey of motherhood with me. Our girls are a day apart and although she lives in Texas, we share constant texts and photos about our day-to-day. I admire her ability to just let her babies grow on their own, cultivating their creativity and allowing them to explore. She is constantly reminding me to let the mess happen.

Let the mess happen, because that’s when the memories are made.

The shaving cream on the counters and floor from when you played with it in your hands. You thought it was the funniest thing to put it on your face.

The noodles on the chair from when you looked at me with a smile and said “more s’ghetti please?”. You ate the most that night.

The toys scattered around the house from your imaginary play. Your horses are where you left them, eating pumpkin on the coffee table.

The pillows from the couch, tossed around the living room.. from the time you jumped and squealed. Climbing is your favorite.

The mashed banana all over the kitchen from when we made muffins. You love to help mommy.

All of these messes led to your sweet memories. I know you won’t remember the mess, and I’m trying not to either! But I hope we can both hold onto these memories.

One of my best friends recently sent me this thoughtful box and I’m obsessed!! I think it would make the perfect “just because gift” or birthday, Christmas, or bridesmaid gift!

The packaging is absolutely beautiful. All boxes range in price from $35-$90 so there are definitely plenty of options!

Their products are vegan, homemade and based out of Georgia.

If you’re having a bachelorette party or getting married soon, they have the cutest options for invitations, koozies or bridesmaid gifts! A box would also make a sweet gift for a bride-to-be!

I’ve had this necklace on repeat! It makes the perfect layering necklace or is even pretty on its own. I also love this scrunchie because it doesn’t leave marks in my hair if I throw it up while playing with the kids!
