Good afternoon and happy Sunday, friends!!!  I sure hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I know we sure did!  And while it's been so nice to take a real break from my blog and social media, I've really missed you guys and this space!  I am also ready for 2019 and a chance to bring some much needed changes around here, along with some exciting new posts and projects. 

As for today, I wanted to share some awesome after Christmas sales that are currently happening. 

Striped Pajamas (40% off) // Plush Throw (20% off) // Loafer Slipper (20% off) 

Fuzzy Slide Slit Sweater

Loft - 50% off all full price styles with the code LOVEIT!

Geo Fair Isle Sweater

Hello ladies and happy Monday! 

Anyone else feel like they're running around like a chicken with their head chopped off!?!?  I mean, if I'm being honest, that's pretty much how I always feel...ha!  But with only eight days left until Christmas, the struggle is real! 

I am literally still in my pajamas ordering last minute gifts, class party supplies, and finishing up all of our "Santas gifts" for the kids.  That being said, I thought I would show you all a few things that I ran across that I think would make awesome last minute gift ideas for almost anyone you still have left on your list.  And best part, everything I'm including can be ordered and delivered to your doorstep in the next two days! 

Marble Silicone Kitchen Utensil Set

This is such a pretty utensil set, and judging from the perfect five star review, the quality must be pretty amazing!  And you can't beat the under $40 price tag for a six piece set including the marble utensil holder.

Cocoon Open Front Cardigan

This brand has quickly become one of my favorite brands ever!  I swear, everything I've ever ordered not only feels amazing, but the quality is outstanding!  And I don't know of any women that wouldn't want a good cozy cardigan, especially one that can be worn for dressing up or just lounging around.  

Short Giai Candle 

Prettiest candle ever, and added bonus, it's 20% off right now.  I've actually smelled this scent in the store before and it smells divine. 

Mens After Shave Set

I've heard nothing but great things about this brand, and what guy couldn't use a nice 'after' shaving set. 

Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Set

I know this one is not very original, but I also know a lot of men grill and could probably use new grill utensils.  Plus, you can't beat the $29 price tag for this quality stainless steel set. 

Moscow Mule Copper Mug Set

We have four of these copper mugs and we love to make fun drinks while using them.  This would be so awesome to give someone with this cocktail mixer kit!

Beginners Oils Set

Y'all know that I'm a HUGE fan of essentials oils, and this is the brand that I use and LOVE!  This is such a great starter pack and comes with all of my favorite oils.  Also, this $22 diffuser would be great to add along with it.  It's the diffuser that I now have four of, and use everyday and night in my office and all of our bedrooms. 

Cotton Blend Sheet Set

These sheets are SO comfy and would make the perfect gift for almost anyone!  Plus, they wash and dry so well. 

Women's Shearling Slippers 

Last, but not least, when in doubt...slippers are always a good idea!  This is another brand that I swear by, and Todd has the mens version of these here and loves them.  The mens slippers are also currently half off!! 

Hello friends and happy Thursday! 

Whether you are looking for outfit ideas for your family Christmas cards or just looking for family outfits to wear over the holidays, I am hoping that I can provide a little inspiration today!  And along outfit ideas, I'm also really excited to share some affordable, yet stylish footwear ideas for you and your entire family!!

You guys know by now that me and my family are all huge fans of Rack Room Shoes, and this season they seriously knocked it out of the park with their winter shoe and boot collection!!  To top things off, starting today through December 25th you can take advantage of their BOGO free boot sale on select styles!  And just so you know, all of the boots that we're wearing below are included in the BOGO free sale!

Hello friends and happy hump day!! 

I am sorry that I have been MIA around here this week.  As I'm sure most of you all know, the holidays are pretty crazy!  Plus, I've been trying to take a step back and focus more on my family, and while the holidays can definitely be overwhelming, there is so much joy and happiness in it as well, especially seeing it through your children's eyes. 

This image popped up on my Facebook and I couldn't believe this was almost six years ago!

And with the holidays also comes all the holiday parties!!  Todd and I have our white elephant supper club party this Friday and I am so excited!  I am planning on making a big salad of some sort along with an appetizer.  And since a lot of you guys probably have parties to attend as well, I thought I would share a few delicious appetizers that would be great for holiday parties.  

Cranberry, Pecan, Goat Cheese, Sweet Potato Bites

Sausage Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

French Onion and Bacon Cheese Ball

And since I've been MIA on here, I also wanted to share a few of my recent outfits since I know shopping my blog is often much easier than Instagram these days! 

Oversized Lightweight Sweater // Gold Hoops (on major sale) //

Lightweight Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket //

Cozy High Waist Leggings With Pockets // Nike Running Shoe

Leggings and puffer jacket both run tts and I'm wearing a small in both. 

Okay guys, I have never seen Amazon have a sale this huge, especially including the brands I am about to share!!! 

Now, here's the deal...this sale is only lasting one day, so if you see something you love, grab it fast!! 

Thanks to this huge sale I was able to knock out gifts for over half the people on my Christmas list!  I grabbed these slippers for Todd and both our dads, this robe for my mother-in-law, these pajamas for my mom, and these zip up cozy robes for all the grandmothers. 

Almost the entire J.Crew Mercantile collection is 50% off!!  My favorites are below, but you can shop the entire sale collection here.

Women's Vail Parka

And last, you have to check out the lounge and sleep sale!  It has some of my favorite Amazon brands included and the prices are unbelievable! 

My cozy feather draped cardigan is also part of the sale!!  It is SO soft and comfy, and it would make a great gift!!! 

Good morning friends and happy Thursday!! 

I am coming at ya with a big ol round of Amazon hit and misses this morning!  I didn't realize it had been so long since I shared one of these with you guys.  I've shared some of the stuff on my Instastories, but I wanted to make sure I also shared it here as well so it would all be in one place and hopefully easier for you guys to find it. 

I had lots, and I mean lots of hits this month with only one miss.  Now that I've been ordering fashion from Amazon on the regular, I feel like I know the brands that I really love (like Daily Ritual, Mae, CRZ Yoga, and Core10), I can weed out the ones that aren't that great.  Some of the random brands still have some really cute stuff, it's just somewhat of a crapshoot on whether or not it will look good and how good the quality may be. 

I also found a lot of really great and super affordable dresses this month, and a lot of them would be perfect for upcoming holiday parties you ladies may have, so I figured I would start with those first! 

While this one isn't really super dressy, I think this two piece sweater set could still be worn to a more casual holiday party.  I am thinking ornament exchange, dirty Santa, or a casual drop-in party. 

Edited Hit and Misses 12/12 

Okay y'all this tunic sweater in my book was a miss, it was just too thin and a little too snug in all the wrong areas. But these high-waist stretch leggings are amazing, and a total win!!
