Happy Friday, friends! We have a pretty laid-back weekend ahead of us and I'm t-h-r-i-l-l-e-d about it! Arden's soccer practice, a family dinner, and a few to-do's around the house. Heck, I might even sneak in a nap or two! But first...five on Friday! one. I bought this romper in Dallas last weekend and I'm obsessed. It's pretty much like wearing pajamas...while still looking cute. An easy sell for me! The pink was the only color they had in my size, but I think I need to get either the gray ...
{Girls} Weekending
Ever wish you could repeat a weekend just a few more times? That's how I feel about my girls getaway over the weekend. I met my Katy friends in Dallas on Friday, where we rented a super-cute condo in Uptown. We got dressed up, stayed out late, slept in (as much as a bunch of moms can!), and talked and laughed for hours. We pampered ourselves, splurged on cute clothes, ate way too much (at least I did!), and chugged sipped on mimosas and margaritas all weekend. It was pretty much the definition ...
5 Ways to Save Money on Birthday Parties
Eeeek...it's Friday! And not just any Friday...it's 'head to Texas and see some of my favorite people EVER' Friday! This is my first girls weekend since Arden was born (what?!?)...so I apologize now if I post waaaaay too many pictures on Instagram this weekend. I'm just so happy--and it hasn't even started yet!!!! Before I go though, I wanted to share some tips that I put together for a fun little Better KC segment yesterday. The topic was saving money on children's birthday parties and I had ...
Loving Lately
These H&M jersey dresses are my favorite for little girls. And $5...are you serious?!? Last year Arden wore them all summer long...and we're all stocked up with cute patterns so she can do the same again this year! Speaking of summer...I've been on the hunt (aka Amazon search) for fun backyard water activities. A friend posted this beach ball sprinkler on Instagram yesterday, these water balloons look awesome, and the slight slope in our backyard is just begging for a slip 'n slide like ...
Easy DIY Shiplap Tutorial
Whatever you call it: shiplap, planking, paneling...can we all just agree that it's so SO pretty? Much like wood floors, it's something that at one point people wanted to cover up...and now remodelers everywhere are tearing down sheetrock just to find it. Well I know there's no shiplap hiding behind my walls, but I still really wanted the farmhouse look that it adds. I read through tons of tutorials and decided that we could start small--and "practice" the DIY method on our little mudroom ...
Hey There, Friday
one. I'm not sure if I should admit this, but I had a dream this week that I met Joanna Gaines...at Target. And we totally hit it off. Duh! I know, I'm a weirdo...but gosh, it seemed so real ;) Anyway, in honor of my ridiculous dream...and Mother's Day weekend...I wanted to share Joanna's "letter to moms" in case you haven't read it yet. Such a sweet reminder and a source of encouragement for whatever stage of motherhood you're in... two. Anyone else buy the same tennis shoes every ...
