A little bit of this...and that

Happy Weekend this and thatters!!  I was so excited to see the sun today and yesterday.  It's been a rainy week and the sunshine was a welcome relief.  I hope you have a fantastic weekend! xoxo 1.  Rainy Day Activities So do my lovely readers have rainy day suggestions?  I took Em to the library, pet store and even the park in the morning when it wasn't raining but somehow by the end of the day my house looked like this (pic below) every time! I would love to hear from you any fun and exciting indoor activities you might suggest.  Besides the usual coloring, building with blocks etc.  Next week is shaping up to be yet another rainy week and this momma would love new ideas! 2.  Elizabeth Heard Barrettes I was doing some online shopping this week and stumbled across Elizabeth Heard's site and fell in love!  How adorable are these barrettes?!  I literally want them all!  Be sure to check out ...

Happy Day readers!  I hope you and yours had a great long weekend! If you know me or have been reading this blog for any period of time you know that I am absolutely obsessed with beauty products.  I love finding new things and trying new things.   I have been reading a lot about the company Beauty Counter.  If you are on Facebook I am sure you have seen/heard about them.  I started doing some research on the company and was super impressed with what I found out!   They are a relatively new company that is only about 2 years old.  They have amazing products that are non-toxic.  It's amazing what is actually in our skincare and make up.  I highly encourage you to read the labels of what you are putting on your face!   I was super jazzed when Beauty Counter sent me some amazing products to try! I wasn't sure what to expect but I was thrilled to find amazing products that rival some of the highe...

I hope you enjoy this edition of what's what!  xoxo 1.  Teal House Collection Have you heard of teal house collection?  I hadn't until a friend told me about it and I am in LOVE.  They have the absolute best pieces for amazing prices.  I was super impressed with the quality as well.  I recently purchased a tassel necklace as well as a turquoise and druzy necklace and they are by far my favorite items to wear right now! Click here! 2.  Allegra and Luca Have you heard of this super cute company?  They make amazing children's clothing and I am kind of in love with their stuff.  They make super cute tunics for girls that are to die for!  If you need a great gift I wo...

Happy Day this and thatters!  I hope you and yours are enjoying a great week.   I don't know if you noticed but it seems like everyone is having amazing sales right now!  Below are just a few I'm loving right now. xoxo 1.  Freshly Picked I absolutely love these little moccasins for Emily!  In fact they are her absolute favorite and she refuses to take them off her feet.  Until 12 p.m. EST on Thursday they are running a 25% off deal on certain colors and that includes the cleaning wipes which are a amazing.   These would make the perfect baby gift as well!  I stocked up for Emily and baby girl on the way.  I can't wait to get my order. Click here! 2.  Neiman Marcus Last Call NM Last Call is having a truly awesome sale with 40-60% off their already reduced prices.  If you can get to a store that's great but I love shopping their website.  I have found the cutest tops there and last summer scor...

Happy Tuesday pretty people!   I apologize in advance for using the word random and for the randomness of this blog.  I was out of town and then we have been without TV or internet for two days so I am cramming a lot of thoughts into one blog post.  Enjoy! xoxo 1.  TV How good has TV been lately?  I haven't watched the last episode of Mad Men or Scandal given our TV issues so DO NOT tell me.   How good was Southern Charm last night?!  The train wreck that is Kathryn and Thomas is too bad not to watch!  If you haven't seen it, watch it ASAP! 2.  A Pinch of Healthy My cousin has this amazing blog that I read all the time and you should too!  It's a fantastic cooking blog with awesome recipes made easy and healthy.  I love that she tells you the calorie count and even the weight watchers points!   Although I'm not counting weight watchers points now I did after Emily and my issue with food ...

Happy Day this and thatters!!   I hope you and yours had a great Mother's Day!  I had a lovely Mother's Day thanks to the hubs, Em and the sweet baby girl who is literally partying in my belly these days.   I started thinking about Mother's Day, I mean really thinking about what it means to all of us.  For so many years it has been and always will be about my own mother.  The woman who I love more than life!  The woman who I literally couldn't physically separate from when I was younger so I hung onto her leg for the better part of my toddler years.  The woman who I loved so much I would get homesick at spend the night parties.  To say I love my mother and we are close is an understatement.  To say we are perfect and don't fight would be a lie!  We have a real, flawed, beautiful, complicated, magnificent relationship that I wouldn't trade for the world.   I thought about everyone out there who has lost a mother,...

How are all my beautiful readers today?!  I hope you have a great start to the week :)  Lately, I have been planning for upcoming beach trips and that means doing some shopping.  I have found some fun, unique items that I cannot wait to bust out on vacation. Enjoy! xoxo 1.  Calypso St. Barths Tote How adorable is this beach bag?!  I saw it and died!!  I got some money for my birthday and was instructed to spend it on myself so I did just that and snapped up this tote immediately. It is awesome and I know I will have it for many summers to come! Click here!  2.  Old Navy Romper (for Pregos) So finding cute, fun and fashionable maternity clothes without breaking the bank can sometimes be an impossible task!  I recently spotted this romper online and knew I had to have it.  I was thinking prego romper this could go really well or really bad!  Luckily it went really well and is super cute. ...

Happy Day this and thatters!!   I hope you are having an awesome weekend and soaking up this great weather.   I turned 35 last friday and to be honest it got me thinking.  It got me thinking about what I've learned and what I still haven't.  I actually like getting older (for the most part) because I feel like I get better, wiser the more I age.  Do you feel the same way?   So here's what I think I've learned and what I'm still working on!  My dad assures me I have plenty of time as he jokes that next year I will be closer to 50 than 20....sweet Jesus! :) The older I get the more I value who I truly am vs. who I think I should be.  I spent so much time in my teens and twenties trying to either be someone else or a perfect version of myself.  I've realized that it's a waste of time to be anyone but you and that perfection is an illusion.  I once read an Ashley Judd quote that said "perfectionism is the hi...
