A Little Lovin from the Oven

In July, Taylor made all my dreams come true when he finally agreed to buy a minivan (#thisis30something)! Taylor and I have been driving around our itty bitty sedans (Hyundai Elantra and Mazda3 respectively) since 2006/2007 and also, the most spoiled millennial part of it is that our parents ...

A few weeks ago on stories I asked a *v. important question* and being back in Dreary-ville, I gotta ask it again:
.
.
If family, friendship, and money wasn’t holding you back - where would you move?
.
.
Living near family keeps us tied to this area of the country, but I wish we could live somewhere sunny and 75 year round. .
.
What’s holding you back most from living in your dream location? Drop those wishful wonderlands in the comments below!

Searched high and low for a fashion sneaker that wasn’t too flashy or too pricey. Popped into DSW on a whim and spotted ‘Em front and center. .
.
The subtle snake skin print mixed with the taupe suede and soft white made all my sneaker dreams come true. .
.
But the real win is being able to walk all over airports two days in a row without any discomfort because they are the perfect fit👏🏻. .
.
⬅️SWIPE for the close up. Snag em for under $50 while you can. Promise you will love them all year long. .

Someone once told me fairytales aren’t real life while breaking my teenage heart. .
.
By time I met Taylor 4 years later, I had given up on the notions of Prince Charming and figured I’d find my “Mr Good Enough” on the other side of 2 am “you up?” text messages. .
.
Now, 14 years later, with a boy crazy daughter who can’t wait to get married, I tell her one thing. .
.
Fairy tales don’t technically exist but some day Prince Charming will come and sweep you off your feet. That’s the guy you save your heart for. .
.
To our tenth. 🥰I hope it has a lot less juggling newborn babies and toddlers, less moves across states and cities and way more dancing, dipping and getting swept off our feet.

Happy Last Day of the Decade 🤯🥳
.
.
This decade🥰 brought all the “adult things” - marriage, motherhood, homeownership, and a minivan. .
.
But more importantly - this is the decade that made me a woman comfortable in her own skin. .
.
A woman with strength to walk through a quiet storm. .
.
A woman with courage to ask for help. .
.
A woman brave enough to change directions when veering off course. .
.
This next year, this next decade, will be met with highs and lows, course corrections, celebrations, and maybe some more difficult days. .
.
But more than anything, it’ll be exactly what energy we give to it. Whether it’s a word of the year, a motto for the decade, or just the will to thrive - what energy are you embracing when the clock strikes midnight? .
.
Share it in the comments and let’s celebrate how far we’ve come and how far we have to grow!

I love a magnolia wreath but the price tags on them - not so much. .
.
Luckily our neighborhood boasts beautiful and expansive magnolia trees. While their blooms are the scent of sweet southern summers, their leaves are the hunted prize on our walks. .
.
Swipe to see the glam treatment our recent picks received. Tonight, Aria and I will assemble our dried beauties into a special holiday wreath. .
.
Feelin’ Real Joanna Gaines-y guys. Watch stories this evening to see the process and progress. .

Glasses make me feel smart. There I said it. 🤓
.
.
New workout clothes make me feel excited to exercise. Just like new gym shoes make you “run faster and jump higher”. .
.
A new planner makes me feel organized and ready to tackle the ever - moving parts as CEO of our family. .
.
A new steamer mop makes our floors the cleanest they’ve been in months - not because of the mop - because I’m so stinking excited to use it. .
.
An excel spreadsheet makes me happy my husband handles balancing the budget 🥴. .
.
My blue light blockers may be working against the computer screen glare, but they’ve also reinvigorated my excitement to type out a whopper of a DIY post. .
.
Whatever YOU gotta do to show up and handle the business today - DO THAT. .
.
We are the choices we make. We are the habits we practice. We are the average of our best and worst days. What will you today to bump your average? .
.
Share your choice or habit practice in the comments below 💯. .

You can either be the victim or the victor - either way, it's your choice.
.
.
You can choose to let three separate holidays be three single events or three months of over-indulgences and set backs. .
.
You can complain about your lack of motivation to work out, the office treats impeding your best nutrition intentions, or your kids' Halloween candy calling your name from the cupboard.
.
.
Or you can own it. You can decide that starting today puts you 60 days ahead of your New Years' resolutions. .
.
Whether that's snubbing Debra's latest baked goods in the break room or treating yourself to one or two Halloween sweets tonight instead of a handful morning, noon, and night for the next two weeks.
.
.
Here's a little brain buster for you - the candy tonight is literally candy you can BUY after you reach your goals. The baked goods, the turkey, the pies, the mashed potatoes - those happen every. single. year. Check your food FOMO.
.
.
Victims complain. Victors celebrate. Either way - it's your choice.
