Hey everyone!

Gosh I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only a week away! This weekend went by like a blur, and I am so excited about this colder weather. However, I think I might have come down with a cold, AGAIN. I have been doing nothing but laying around the house all day and trying to keep Jayden entertained while I catch a couple of naps or two. But I guess the pros of being sick is online shopping, and if your like me, then you have already started Christmas shopping! I hate lines and crowds when it comes to shopping, but I love a good deal. And with Black Friday coming up, I’ve actually done most of my Black Friday shopping online. Yep there are some amazing deals that have already started for Black Friday. So today not only am I sharing one of my favorite velvet booties for the holidays, but my favorite early Black Friday specials! Continue reading “Velvet Booties – Early Black Friday Specials”

The Perfect Jumpsuit + One Size Fits All Gift Guide for Her

Last weekend my husband and I attended his ten-year high school reunion. I wore this fun and vibrant jumpsuit. It was so nice to meet all of his friends he grew up with and to see the type of friends he hung out with. Since we started dating my husband has only really went out a handful of times with his friends and for the most part it was with his cousins. He’s definitely opposite of me when it comes to being social and hanging out with friends. I guess I take it as a compliment that he only wants to hang out with me, hahaha, jk! 😉  Also, it was such a pleasant surprise  when all of his friends already knew me through  my blog. Josh always shares how proud of me he is with all his friends, and it really made my night. I seriously have the best husband in the world. He is just an all around guy.

Now back to the perfect jumpsuit and my one size fits all gift guide for her for the holidays…

4 Steps to Moving Forward After the Elections

4 Steps to Moving on After the Elections

The elections are over, and for half of the nation right now is in disbelief of the outcome. Coming from a Texas and Republican household with some including myself voting the other side, the past couple months were tough, especially on social media. It has divided many households, questioned friendships, brought out the worse in some people, but it also brought out legitimate concern from both sides. But now that results are in we are a divided nation trying to come together after a very historical and epic election night. Yes I cried last night, it was very emotional election moment for me, being able to vote for the first ever female president. But I have realized that even though she did not win today does not mean we have not progressed as women. We have come a long away. There will be far better female candidates out there that America can stand behind, and I am willing to wait for that. I know God has great plans for this country, and I know he will see us through this. And for everyone else whether you were on the winning or loosing side of election day here are my final thoughts and four steps to moving forward after the elections.
