The late 90s, prepping for the prom, was the last I had fake nails. That was the first and that last time — until last week. Sure, I’ve gotten many a manicure over the years, but adding extensions or fake nails was not something I thought I’d like. Then last week, I went in for a regular gel manicure, but my nails were super short.
Last weekend, I was at the mall with one of my dear friends. She was shopping for an upcoming shoot for her new website and asked me to help style her. We had a great time and I even found a few things for myself for Fashion Week.
What are you doing for the big football game this weekend? We will definitely be chilling at home with the kids and I plan to make the best appetizers to prepare. For the first time, I made this homemade pretzel bites, and they are definitely on the list for Sunday.

I’ve decided to take more fashion risks this year. Since having kids, I’ve realized I’ve been in quite a rut. Although I’ve always taken pride in looking my best, for the last couple years, I’ve been rocking basically the same style. I wear the same jewelry, never venturing into new territory, until I found these gold statement earrings.
Are you a meal prep person? Lately, I’ve been trying really hard to pre-plan meals that I can take with me to work or eat while I’m on the go. This mini breakfast casserole recipe are a great on-the-go breakfast or dinner (if you like breakfast for dinner like I do ).
Not too many things in nature are as beautiful as the falling of the first snow of the year. Then, reality sets in. But before you have time to complain, to dread the shoveling and the slush, you see the world inside of a snow globe. It is quite, magical, serene.
What are you wearing for Valentine’s day? I recently found this gorgeous red dress for under $40 and I think it is a perfect red Valentine’s Day dress. (I’ve linked to a similar style below. I found mine just a couple weeks ago at H&M, but I can’t find it online!) I’ve talked about special occasion dresses in the past. Generally, I’m not a fan of buying things that you’d only wear once. It’s just not practical. But every now and then, I’m down.
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably garnered that I’m pretty sad we had to leave San Diego. Due to my university schedule, we were able to travel for nearly three weeks with our kids. My parents rented a condo on Mission Beach and we had the best time at the beach, taking in the sunsets, and getting a whole lot of quality family time. I also found lots of free things to do with kids in San Diego, so I thought I’d share my top 5.
Lately, I happen upon fashion trends rather than actually know about them when they first happen. I’ve always been a huge fan of lace (see here, here, and here). But lately, I’ve been really into the lace bell sleeve top trend. I didn’t even realize how much I liked it until I came home with this top, which looked very similar to this top I also owned. (I’ve got a bit of a problem with buy duplicates too).
Last summer was the first time we took our kids to an amusement park. They had been on little rides and fairs, but our first trip to LEGOLAND® went so well, we decided it would be fun to visit again during the holidays. What I didn’t realize was just how cool it would be for our kids to experience Christmas at LEGOLAND.
What do you do when you have 2 jars of Nutella in the pantry? My first thought was to crack one open and eat it with a spoon (don’t lie, I know you were thinking the same thing). Despite my desires, I did the mature thing. I baked these 3 ingredient Nutella cookies and gave them to my neighbors for the holidays.
A few years ago, I was at the Dr. and I complained of being overly tired. Tiredness can come from a lot of causes, especially being a new mom. Despite my less than useful description of symptoms, the Dr. tested me for a few things I wasn’t expecting.
Traveling with little kids can be seriously overwhelming. I’ve traveled with them since they were infants and I’ve learned a lot of things along the way. Given all the mistakes I’ve made, I figured it was about time I share little travel hacks that can make traveling with kids a whole lot easier and less stressful. Here are my top 6 tips to make traveling with kids a snap.
Do you feel crunched for time this holiday season? With all the shopping, traveling, and hosting, it can be so hard to find the time to cook meals and desserts from scratch. I’ve got you covered with this super simple butter pecan pound cake recipe.

I’m not sure about you, but every New Years, I love to get a new dress. There are not that many special occasions during the year where I feel the necessity to buy something new. Finding New Year’s Eve dresses each year is one of the few times when I do.
In the fall and winter, I love to make a lot of casserole dishes because they are warm, filling, and can last throughout the week. My kids love pasta and I’m trying to sneak more veggies into their diet whenever I can. That’s where this roasted Mediterranean vegetable baked ziti comes in.
Are you heading to any holiday parties this year? If you’re planning a special night out to celebrate the holidays or New Years, you should try this berry colored holiday makeup look.
If you anything like me, you look for time-management tips wherever you can find them. People ask me all the time how I have a professional career, juggle parenting two kids under 6 and have a successful blog – well, it’s hard sometimes. Luckily, I have a lot of time-management tips that keep my life running as smoothly as I possibly can.
One of my absolute favorite parts about the holiday season is having more excuses to bake. I love to bake for a couple reasons. First, I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. Second, I love making things to share with the people I love.
