Hello + Proverbs

Hello, friend! I hope you had the best February and feel the same giddy butterflies I feel for spring marching in. The sunshine peeking through, the green grass popping up, and the colors beginning to revive themselves after months of a lifeless appearance. There’s something so good for my soul that happens every spring. It’s like a refresh to my vision and perspective. I love this time of year!

What am I dreaming about for the next couple of months? I want to buy a plant box for my back porch for starters. I am determined to become a gardener… lol. Ok, more realistic: To plant some herbs and flowers that don’t die. I also have a DIY plan (dream) to paint my back porch a checkered look. Stay tuned. Highly likely to not happen because I am 0% a DIYer… but I actually think I could do this one. So, here’s hoping… hehe. Anybody else like me in this!?

A Word from Proverbs:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1: 7

The fear of God is actually saying “I fear being anywhere you’re not because you’re so perfect and great- give me wisdom to hear your voice and walk in your ways.” Remember that as you navigate your days and find yourself praying for something. God, we want your WISDOM that sometimes even means NO for something we desire or is seemingly good. Ask for WISDOM and he will give it to you, friend.

I think the general essence of Proverbs, the sincere care for us with direct instruction, is an encouragement for the way we parent our babies, lead our homes, lead in our workplace… whatever you’re in charge of. Wisdom is direct. It’s setting gracious boundary lines to allow for freedom within the safety of wisdom.

A few things I am DIGGIN’ these days:

  1. The new Morgan Wallen album. O M G. The perfect springtime album driving with the windows down and a Sonic cherry limeade.
  2. Target’s spring selections. I LOVE ALL THE COLOR. They did such a great job with all their lines this season! I needed a couple pairs of pants for Sundays and found two great ones for under $30 each. SO GOOD. I linked those and a couple other favorite finds here.
  3. Our Playhouse [here]! Y’all, I dreamed and hoped the boys would use this thing as much as they do. It’s been a game changer around our home to be able to say “Y’all go outside and play” and they actually want to. It’s given me a slice of peace inside throughout the day to get a couple things done. The price point is incomparable and it feels sturdy. It did endure hurricane winds and a tornado that barely missed our home last week… So I can confirm it is indeed a quality buy to withstand the weather. 😉

Other Fun Finds:

Pink Maternity Photo Session

Getting my maternity pictures taken with each baby has always been a highlight of the ending of a pregnancy for me. There’s just something really special about capturing those final days before you meet a piece of your heart. This session for our CC girl was done at Lemon Drop Studios and we just had a lot of fun! Studio sessions when it’s 110 degrees outside is WHERE IT’S AT. AC when this pregnant is just kinda necessary ha. I love this studio, it’s so beautiful and we got full access to all three sections (studio A and B + the outside greenhouse).

I have had quite a few Dms asking about my outfits from this shoot so I wanted to link all of it for you in one place! I knew I really wanted the elegant portrait style in the maternity body suit, but finding one with full coverage proved quite difficult. However, I found this one on Amazon and LOVE it. The first hat is my exact one, and then I linked a few other similar options!

The second look is the maternity photo look of my dreams! This maternity robe was a steal from Amazon and I found the blush nude body suit (full booty coverage again!) on Gap Factory for $12!!

This last one is so special, because it’s the dress I wore for my pregnancy announcement photos with Knox. Five years later and my last pregnancy, I wanted to bookend this season of carrying babies with the dress. It’s a Fillyboo dress that isn’t made anymore, but they sell a variety of similarly styled gowns.

My Top N Sale Finds

Happy N Sale, y’all! This is up there at the top of my list as a favorite time of year… Don’t judge me haha. Find me sipping coffee with my AC on 67 and Gilmore Girls season 1 on the tv as I navigate the sale with you. It’s just the only proper way to do it. I actually have convinced Paul to finally intentionally watch GG with me for the first time, and he’s committed to an episode a night with me. God bless!

Alright so the sale: Here’s the deal. The N Sale, if you’re new here or just don’t know and see a thousand people talking about it, is a preview sale of the upcoming season’s new items.

This year, I am showing you my top picks only and items I already own!

Cute Vacation Pieces

The season of sunshine and vacation has ARRIVED. Kicking it off with a trip to Charleston [read more here!] followed then by a BFF trip to Disney [read my newest guide here!], and officially starting June 1st becoming a silent owner of my company to be a SAHM… I would say my summer vacations have officially commenced. We have coming up a baby moon to our FAVORITE spot, Omni Barton Creek in Austin, and then also a trip with our boys is in the works to Carlton Landing in Oklahoma. This is a spot designed by the same people who built out Seaside in Florida, but it’s on a lake in Oklahoma just a couple hours from us. I can’t believe we didn’t know about this spot until recently! If flying is out of the question or an 11 hour drive with babies sounds miserable *raises hand* this is seriously going to blow your mind when you see what’s waiting just over the border in Oklahoma to all my fellow Texans.

Today, I rounded up some adorable vacation pieces currently in my cart that scream “hello sunshine!” at a wide range of price points. Below I have a few top faves and then see my full round-up underneath.

These are the perfect summer night shoe for dinner on the beach or on the board walk.

And they’re only $42!

Can you believe this is on Amazon?! It looks chic and lovely and is only $69. (wouldn’t it look so beautiful with the shoes above?)

This clutch is a dream. I can see it paired with the dress and shoes above to tie the whole look together.

And, it’s only $54!

Okay, this is the splurge of my favorites… but can you blame me? This dress silhouette is my favorite of all time, and the coloring paired with the intricate detailing is drool-worthy.

This beauty is a $895 designer dress. *However, one you’d keep til you’re old and gray and give to your daughter.

February’s Favorite Five

My goodness, here we go flying into March! This month’s favorite five are arguably also my favorite five also. We round up the most clicked and bought items from you each month, and I gotta say I like where you guys are headed this spring 😉

Magnolia Hearth & Hand Headboard: This piece is so affordable and looks incredibly “high end.” The woven details and the perfectly washed wood look put this piece way up on my list of finds this month, and evidently yours as well! A king sized headboard is under $300 … which is basically impossible to find. If you’re looking for a beautiful piece for a focal point in your bedroom on a budget, this is it.

Rifle Paper Co. x Loloi Rugs: I have been a longtime supporter of Rifle Paper Co. and their new line with Loloi rugs has made their beautiful art available for your homes in a new (and shockingly priced) way. This 5×7 rug is only $220 and is a statement maker for your home. I could see it in an entry foyer with a natural bench or console table, or as a living room rug (put on top of a 8 x 10 jute if you need something that covers more space.

Levi’s Ribcage Jeans: I bought these two Nordstrom Anniversary Sales ago, and I love them. They fit my petite body like a glove and magically make my squat torso look lengthy and lean. However, we call these The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pant jeans, because multiple of my friends have them -all different body types- and feel like a million bucks in them! I bought true to size in a 25 but I will warn, there’s no give for days you have some bloat and can easily go up a size!

Puffed Sleeve Selkie Lookalike: I think this dress is so cute and perfect for a spring wedding or Easter service and lunch with family. This dress is under $100 vs. it’s designer lookalike that prices out right at $300!

Tie Shoulder Pink Dress: Cue the perfect spring and summer dress. You can put a long sleeve white shirt or bodysuit underneath while the temperatures are still a little frigid, and then pair with sneakers or sandals! I think this one is so cute, kinda some LoveShackFancy floral vibes, and it’s only $60!
