If you have been on social media in the last week you have likely seen 15,000 bloggers talking about the Nordstrom Sale #nsale. It’s for a good reason. You can get NEW fall items at a huge discount.

This is my time to load up on items that will last for years to come.

If you have the Nordstrom credit card you can get early access on July 12th to shop as well as triple points on any day that you choose. Just contact them via chat to get the points. Don’t forget your “nordie notes” if you have them. Public access is July 20th and the sale ends on August 5th.

I will be breaking down all the sale items into the following categories with a different post on each. You can find a preview here

Jeans

Shoes

Athletic

Sweaters

Tops

Jackets/Coats

Accessories

Kids

A few tips for the sale….

Set your account up online prior to the sale so you are ready.

Once is hits your cart, PURCHASE! Items in your cart are not yours and can sell out. Its free shipping so just get it.

If you have the Nordstrom CC you can take advantage of the 0% APR for this sale.

If you are between sizes order both and you can always return.

If you are shopping through a blogger and would like to give them credit (we make the smallest percentage off your purchases) you will need to buy items from that link. If you move to another bloggers site and click then they will get the credit.

Make a budget and stick to it. Just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean you need it.

This is also a good time to think about Christmas gifts as well as winter items for your children.

Think PRICE PER WEAR. If I buy this item how many times will I wear it? A winter jacket that is $150- I can use for 5 years and wear 50 times a year. Totally worth it.

Nordstrom has the best customer service and return policy EVER.

I already went a did a try on of everything that my store had to offer. All the pics and details will be live bright and early tomorrow. My list of must haves are below.

Casual fall coat | Casual winter coat | booties | mules | boys winter jackets | Christmas present for the hubs | high rise jeans |

Happy shopping! Reach out with any questions!

Have you always wondered how the hotels you stay at have such amazing bedding and wish you could have the same at home.  Well a few weeks ago we upgraded to a king and I am never looking back.  I knew we needed a king with our growing family and kept putting it off because of the price.  I started asking around and doing my research!  I am here to tell you you can upgrade too without breaking the bank!  Everything I purchased to create my own oasis at home was under $2,000.  Yep you heard that right.

I first started looking at bed options.  I knew I wanted a tufted headboard and possibly one with a panel frame for a clean finished look.  I found this one on Wayfair and couldn’t be more pleased.  It was under $500 for the entire bed and I promise you it’s very well made.  It also wasn’t hard to assemble (well maybe ask the hubby).

Recently I took to Instagram to see what everyone wanted to see us post about next. Choices included adult drinks or kids party. Within hours I knew I had found my people because the majority of you voted for adult drinks. After intense taste testing, I am bringing you six of my best easy + healthy adult drinks. These are perfect for summer, pool side, patio sitting, boating, or sipping as you watch tv (and year round).

Right now our life is full of parties and last minute get togethers.  I don’t want you to be that person that is always serving the same beer- come on ladies you are better than that and totally deserve better ha!

DRINK PREP

Lets start with some fun ice cubes! These can be used for waters or for the kids drinks too.

After two babies and a few too many diaper bags, I have finally found the best diaper bag and came up with the best baby shower gift.  A backpack diaper bag is a complete game changer. I have searched and searched to find the perfect mix of function, durability, inexpensive, and stylish. Plus this one comes in so many different colors – the gray is my favorite. (this isn’t a sponsored post- this diaper bag is just tooo perfect to pass up)

In light of the recent tragedy with Kate Spade, I am finally pushing myself to publish a piece on a topic that I’ve went back and forth on since we started blogging. A glimpse into my normal life with anxiety.

I’ll start by saying that life is hard. It doesn’t matter the amount of money, friends, or fancy things you surround yourself with. With social media and pretty filters, it’s easy to feel like everyone around you is living a better life.

See this picture right here…this is the picture of a happy mom, who has a great family, amazing friends, the best job, more things than I could ever want. You know what you can’t see is I also have anxiety and panic attacks.

Father’s Day is only a few weeks away, so today we are sharing the ultimate Father’s Day gift guide.  We’ve got a little bit for every dad out there!  Whether your man is a foodie or handy guy, we’re sharing our favorite gifts for everything in between.

The Traveler– The perfect travel kit and it’s on MAJOR sale!  Great brand and can hold a ton of stuff.

Every blonde knows that you need a few extra hair care products to keep you hair looking fresh and keeping the prefect blonde. I have pulled out everything in my bathroom to share my favorite products.

I do not think there is one product you should live and die by I like to swap between a few in each category. Also, I think you should always buy from a legit re-seller so you know what you are getting and the condition it is in. Some items you can snag via Amazon IF the seller is the manufacturer (then Amazon is just warehousing and shipping)

Summer is quickly approaching and I’ve gathered up all of the must-haves for toddlers.  The days are getting longer and the drinks are getting colder.  With the weather changing I’m all about getting these little busy bees outdoors and playing with some fun toys.  Today I’m sharing some of our favorite must-haves!

Ladies THIS IS OUR DAY…and your moms, friends, aunts!
My gifting style is making sure someone gets something they actually want and can use. This Mothers Day gift idea round up is a little late, but luckily EVERYTHING can be ordered online and delivered asap! Side note some of these gifts are coming back in rotation from our holiday gift guides because we still love them so much!

Air Fryer has been on my wish list for months- I do not believe in the rule that you can’t buy a mom cooking things because maybe that is what your mom wants! This one has amazing reviews!

Face Mask Set : Gimme anything to help me not look as old and momish!
