The Weekend Edit

It’s Fridayyyyy my friends! Cheers! This week flew by for us and was filled with lots of fun for the girls (and mama)! Read more about our Summer schedule HERE and you’ll understand, but on Tuesday and Thursday I take off all day with the gals and this week was extra fun exploring our new town. On Tuesday we ventured up north of us about 10 miles to this HUGE park and splash pad. It was by far the most amazing park I’ve ever been to. It’s broken up into 4 areas and 2 of those areas cater specifically to young toddlers, so Lawson was in heaven exploring by herself. Right next to it there was a large splash pad and I was so eager to see how the girls would react. Landry hasn’t really ever been a fan and Lawson is…well, Lawson, so she’s a wild card. To my surprise, they absolutely loved it! Landry literally running around like a maniac making friends with any and everyone and Lawson basically putting her whole head into each spray nozzle. It was definitely one of those mornings that will be with me for a long time.

You guys absolutely LOVED this ruffle hem top. It runs a tad big, so safe to size down! Great for everyday wear with white skinnies.

You all heeded my advice on this racerback tank! It’s a GREAT staple and is still 40% off and UNDER $10!

These ruffle hem shorts were also a big hit and they are currently 40% off and now under $30! Shop them on sale HERE.

This swimsuit continues to be a reader favorite and when I posted that it was part of the SITE WIDE Swimwear BOGO you guys seized the opportunity. If you don’t believe me as to how amazing it is, read the numerous reader reviews in THIS post. Shop it on sale HERE. P.S. If your hubby needs some updated trunks, I bought these for Dan and he LOVES them. Long enough, classic and more of a trim fit.

THIS TOP got marked down 40% off and is now under $40. So easy to wear, darling colors, and a cute tie back. Great with white skinnies or the white ruffle shorts above! Shop it in stock in all sizes HERE. Safe to size down here.

This was my personal favorite post this week. I shared what I tell myself everyday to try and enjoy these little loves as much as humanly possible! (Shop their little outfits in THIS POST)

The Weekend Edit | Instastories

If you’re one of my story gals, you know that a lot’s been going on over there this week! I started a 2 week Whole30 reset and I’ve been trying to share nearly every meal over on stories so that you get lots of ideas. Lots of people have asked why I’m doing Whole30, so here’s a quick answer:

I want to make sure that you know that I do not think I’m overweight, and in fact, I’m not really in it to lose weight because I have NO idea what I weigh in the first place. I ditched the scale at the beginning of this year and don’t miss it at all! My white skinny jeans and denim shorts DO NOT LIE though and they’ve been fitting real snug, which doesn’t make me feel my best. Over the last month, I’ve felt overall very hormonal and like I was carrying lots of bloat. I go through hormonal cycles like this probably once a year and always try to use my diet to reset my body (obviously knowing if it doesn’t level out that I should see my OB). That, on top of the fact that I have not been making good food choices and I was feeling like I needed a reset. Due to slipping back into diet coke, indulging in Chickfila entirely took often and not watching how much gluten I was eating, I legit could look 5 months pregnant at any point. The ‘wheat belly” thing is REAL for me. There’s no doubt in my mind that my diet has everything to do with my hormone levels and how my body reacts to different stressors and to me that’s a huge deal. Doing this 2 week detox leading up to the beach will hopefully ditch the water weight and inspire me to make better choices based on how good I feel.

For example, I really haven’t been able to wear my wedding rings lately. They were SO snug and uncomfortable that I just resorted to a rubber band and chalked it up to the extremely hot weather. Nope. 3 days into Whole30 and they slide on perfectly! Crazy how quickly my body responds. If you want tons of recipe inspo, make sure that you are following along on my stories, OR you can check out the “healthy eats” highlight tab in my Instagram profile!

I also added a “workouts” highlight where I will voluntarily humiliate myself showing you basic, easy workouts.

In other news, this was the most loved everyday outfit from stories this week! These pants were a huge hit and I wore them 2/3 days that I actually got dressed this week. Throw on a fitted tank and you have a legit functional, chic mom outfit.

Lots of things to love this week!

My friend Laura found THIS ETSY SHOP and we both went a little nuts! I bought THIS NECKLACE, THESE EARRINGS and am thinking about giving THESE away to one lucky reader! You’ll flip at the prices, but stock is SO limited so don’t wait.

I’m starting to think about the direction of our guest room (see our previous guest room HERE), and was SO inspired by this new print from Caitlin Wilson. I bought two of the 24×24 pillows in it and plan to form a room design around it. Thinking this would be amazing for the headboard??

Um, This. Dress. Though. On it’s way to me for our beach trip. Instead of wearing stickies with it, I’m going to do a strapless bra and white bandeau! Under $50 and great for 7/4! Shop it HERE.

Going to try these extra crispy Whole30 fries this weekend! YUMMMM

I’m also dying to cover the covered part of our outdoor patio is faux boxwood! These walls are inspiring me big time! Funny enough, Amazon has tons of faux boxwood that would actually make this a super easy project! Stay tuned!

 

If you guys have been waiting on these shoes, they are back in stock! Score them while your sizes are in stock.
