I love buying Christmas pajamas for the entire family. Each year, my boys get a new pair that they can wear on Christmas morning. Today I am sharing my all time favorites for the kiddos and even some for the parents! It’s important that mom and dad look cute too for those selfies on Christmas morning. We know they’re trying so desperately hard to stay awake because they were probably up half the night putting together a doll house, kitchen, train table, etc. 😉
We have decided to start a new monthly post that will always go along with a LIVE on socials! So grab your wine and let’s review all of our favorite things we are loving this month. We wanna hear what your favs are or what you need us to check out!
If you’re anything like me, Amazon is they only way to live these days. Today I’m sharing all of my favorite amazon fall fashion finds under $30. Since there are so may cute items right now, I’ve decided to round up my most affordable options. Trust me, you’ll be just as obsessed as I am. I’m highly impressed with the things I’ve received thus far and I don’t have to leave my house to shop!

Let me tell you bout’ my best friend – SPANX. Any form of Spanx! If you have already taken the leap and bought a pair you are probably thinking okay these make my butt look fab, but how to do I style leather leggings?! Luckily these magical leggings are more versatile than you think!
Let’s face it, life is busy and it’s hard to find time to hit the gym AND eat healthy! Today I am sharing all of my favorite fitness related things! Also, I am not a fitness guru. You can still find me sneaking dino nuggets and wine for dinner some nights!
Home renovation projects are never ending when you buy a house built in the 1970s that had zero work done- ha! It hasn’t been an quick process, but I think we are finally at a pausing moment. Only a moment because there are always more projects right?! If I were to try and pinpoint my “style” I would say “rustic traditional” – that is not a legit term. I love neutrals, woods, and mixing metals . When sticking with pieces like this a look can be timeless. You will not find many super “trendy” things in my home #basicforlife.
In a couple weeks, we’ll officially say goodbye to summer. Today I’m sharing how to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall. Let’s face it, when fall approaches, the weather can still be steamy. We’re not quite ready for chunky sweaters and jeans. I’m talking about some of my favorite summer pieces that can easily be transitioned during the August and September months.
oh hey fall! I’m ready to become all sorts of basic. My basic-ness includes pumpkin spice lattes , cozy boots, family picture tossing leaves, flannels and pumpkin spice lattes. My budget does not include a pretty pumpkin latte. My jeans would also not fit if I was drinking one every morning. So I decided to put my taste testing to work and a DIY version…its so easy! Even I can manage to make it before work while getting two toddlers ready for school!
PRICE
Theirs : $ 5.00
Mine : $ .45
Ladies, lets just say that you only treat yourself 3 time a week for 3 months – $163! Girl, I can put together an entire outfit for that…including some cute booties!
HEALTH
Starbucks
Calories : 380 – still 310 if you skip the whip cream
Carbs : 50 – this is def not fitting into your keto diet!
Sugar : 48
DIY Version
Calories : 25
Carbs : 0
Sugar : 0
You also get to gain another 15 min in the morning by not stopping at Starbucks (Starbucks I swear I really do love you)
The few items you will need…
3/4 cup almond milk ( I use the unsweetened vanilla – 30 cal per serving- if you love milk then switch to that)
coffee – duh
2 tablespoons of Jordans Skinny Syrup – pumpkin caramel
a dash of pumpkin spice.
The syrup you use is up to you – I have the pumpkin, pumpkin spice and the pumpkin caramel. I went with the pumpkin caramel and add a dash of pumpkin spice. These are all zero calorie and zero sugar! Side note if you are a pumpkin fanatic and ready to go all in there is a trio pack of pumpkin flavors!
So when I made this for the blog I was adding canned pumpkin….then I ran out and started making it without (just as good)
Add 2 tablespoons of your Skinny Syrup and a dash of pumpkin spice to 3/4 cup of almond milk
Zap your milk for 15 seconds and start to froth – just like using a blender
Make your coffee then add the frothed milk in!
add a dash of pumpkin spice
( If you do want the pumpkin puree add it to the coffee and mix before adding the milk)
Its a simple as that ladies, I hope you love it!
