A Fringe Affair

Lately we’ve been experiencing some colder weather down here which is amazing! Finally an excuse to bring out the fun jackets and layer. I wore this outfit with my fur vest underneath the jacket for added warmth and to give my outfit a little more dimension. One thing you’ll notice about my style is my boho flare.  I love prints, tassels, and fringe! And some days like today, I get to wear them all! Continue reading “A Fringe Affair”

10 Bad Habits to Ditch this New Year for a Healthier and Happier You

10 Bad Habits to Ditch this New Year for a Healthier and Happier You

This New Year I’ve made some resolutions to become a happier healthier me. Being a mom has made me realize how important my health and well being is. I know with my little kiddo getting more and more active everyday, I want to make sure I am in the best shape to keep up with him. It was a challenge for me to learn how to balance being a mother, a wife, and my own personal life. Blogging, starting a photography business, working part time, and trying to juggle all my other roles consumed me, and I had no time for my fitness. I needed to make a change and ditch some bad habits that were holding me back from reaching my goals. So here are my top 10 habits to ditch for the New Year for a healthy and happier you.

The Best of 2015 – A recap of my First Year Blogging

The Best of 2015

I can’t believe it’s already 2016. 2015 flew by and I couldn’t be more thankful for all the blessing we received. It was a year of ups and downs, but overall I wouldn’t change it one bit because through all life’s challenges I have grown so much and become a better person because of it. This year I became a mom. We welcomed our wonderful son Jayden into the world on January 19, 2015. I never knew how much I could love something until he came into this world. It scared me how much I loved him, I would die for him. protect him with all my being, and I would go to the moon and back just to give him the world. He was my inspiration this year, and because of him I became a better blogger. Because of him I was able to step back from my full time career to focus on being a mother and it also allowed me to pursue blogging. I’ve blogged about being a mother, fitness, fashion, and photography. So if you have followed along or have just started here are my favorite posts of the year.
