Don’t let all the the Spring content fool you, we still have a few months left of cooler weather. And when the temperature drops here, we break out all of the boots and jackets. These LACE UP BOOTS have been a great pair this season. They even come with black laces, which I love, because it can totally change the look of the boots. It’s like you have two pair of boots tied into one. Which is an amazing selling point for this Florida girl.

If you haven’t already noticed, I love a good GRAPHIC TEE. Honestly, I think they are one of the easiest pieces to throw on with some leggings and tennis shoes. And you can totally change up your look with a sweater, jacket, or denim. And one of my favorite ways to wear a graphic tee is with a skirt. It has been one of my go-tos lately. In fact, I thought to myself, I really need to change this up a bit. But then I am like NO! I love it. And if I could, I would probably but 10 more tomorrow.

I think you can talk to almost any person and they will tell you how crazy busy they are. Whether you are a mom or not, we are in this constant season of hustle and bustle. It’s non-stop and we (or at least I) are trying to maximize every second of our day. One thing that should not be comprised is your beauty routine. I know I have said this before, but I really wish I had started a solid skin care routine at a much earlier age. I didn’t see the importance of it, but now I realize how important it is to take care of your skin. And despite being a busy mom, we should take care of our overall appearance. You feel better about yourself and your 60 year old self will thank you!

When I found out we would be leaving the day after Christmas on over an all day 8 trip across the country, I knew my outfit would without a doubt have to be comfortable. I would NOT want to squeeze into jeans. And even my leggings as much as I love them, can sometimes be restricting. My outfit would have to feel like I was wearing pajamas, but not look like I was wearing pajamas. (Pet peeve of mine when I fly!) I did not want to look like I just rolled out of bed even if I was just rolling out of bed. I am pretty sure you get the picture.

I honestly do not know where this year went. I feel like December flew by and now we are getting ready to ring in the new year. You hear of so many people feeling rushed and busy this time of year. And yes, I am! I really try to soak in every minute with kids. I know it can be crazy, but I want to be that YES mom, because I know I only have a couple more years of it. Then I will be wishing I was baking cookies, searching Target for ugly sweaters, and prepping for all craziness this season of life brings. And they may not remember the exact details of every party, but they will remember me showing up and being there. Because you know what, my mom did that for me, and I remember her never missing a party or program.

It is that time of year where we start receiving all of the beautiful Christmas cards with everyone’s family photos. I have to race Audrey to check the mail each day. I love seeing everyone’s growing families (age and number) and reading what each family has done throughout the year.
