According to the calendar it’s not “officially” summer, but in my book it is. Thanks to the warm weather here in the south and school ending early due to COVID, we’re packing our bags for the beach. Today, I’ve gathered a list of my must haves for Summer 2020.
Read MoreEveryone’s world has been turned upside down the last month or so with the pandemic. The sting of this crisis has affected everyone differently. It has really made me stop and think about the “what ifs” of life on so many levels. Corporations taking large measures for safety. The medical community is changing healthcare operations for everyone’s safety. Businesses are being labelled either essential or non-essential. The places we use to frequent on a daily basis are no longer convenient, and many of those places are locally owned businesses with families directly affected.
Read MoreWhite jeans...a Southern girl staple! And I’ve tried to wear them “off season,” but I’m just too much of a rule follower to do so. I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of the fact that I own 6 pairs of what I have found to be the best white jeans for mom bods like mine.
Read MoreTo say Easter will look different this year is an understatement. Most churches, dining room tables and backyards won’t be filled with people. Rather we’ll be celebrating in our homes with only our immediate family members. While this does make me sad, it doesn’t mean we’re not going to make the best of it. Part of keeping things “normal”, if there is even such a thing at this point, will be an Easter meal with all the trimmings.
Read MoreI’ve thought long and hard whether or not to weigh in on the COVID-19 dilemma. I’m pretty good at staying positive, biting my tongue and turning the other cheek but I also promise to stay real with you. So here goes nothing.
Read MoreHi friends! With spring break and summer vacations quickly approaching, I thought I would use today’s blog post to share my favorite hacks and products for traveling the globe!
Read MoreAccording to the groundhog, we’ll be having an early Spring! So despite the current weather, I’m hopeful and prepping myself and my closet for it. Today, I’ve put together a list of a few of my favorites to move us towards the next season!
Read MoreWhew! It’s been a minute since I last wrote but that doesn’t mean I’ve been idle. As you know, I shared my word for the year to be intentional and that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do. Why blow up your inbox with more useless info right? Instead, my goal this year is to bring more value to your life, even if that means less often. So today I want to share a few simple practices that regardless of what you do for a living, can help you to become more productive and intentional this year.
Read MoreIt’s so hard to believe another year has passed. It really flew by. Maybe it’s because I had so much going on or maybe that’s just what happens as we age. Either way, it’s so strange to me that tomorrow we’ll be in 2020. Just think. 20 years ago we thought the world was going to end?
Read MoreOften times, the holiday’s can feel like a never-ending to-do list. Finish the shopping. Cook the meal. Hustle, bustle. Run here, run there.
Read MoreIt seems that folks shop earlier and earlier for the holidays each year. What used to be a Black Friday frenzy has now turned into the entire month of November with stores having Pre-Black Friday sales, leaks and all sorts of other promotions. I love getting my shopping done early because the thought of fighting a crowd no longer appeals to me. However, if saving a few bucks is on your list, I’ve put together a few tips for scoring some of the hottest items under the tree this year.
Read MoreNow y’all know I am not the Pinterest Queen unless we’re talking crockpots, but I’m stepping outside my comfort zone for Halloween. The last two years, for whatever reason, I’ve found myself scrambling the week before Halloween for costumes. It’s like I don’t remember that it falls on October 31 every year. Now, this isn’t so much for Aubrey but really for myself and the hubs. Also, thanks to Spirit Week since starting real school, I’ve had to come up with costumes on the fly. I’m sharing a few ideas in case you find yourself in the same kind of jam.
Read MoreIt’s icky, taboo and not really something we “want” to talk about. But guess what? That doesn’t fix it or change the fact that many people, young and old, are dealing with it. It doesn’t discriminate and often shows up at the most inopportune times. What is it? ANXIETY.
Someone call 2019 and tell them we need it back! But really, this year has flown by. So many changes, successes, failures and lessons learned along the way but I wouldn’t trade them for the world. As we enter the final stretch, goal setting and sticking to the plans are even more important than before.
Read MoreMost people, especially women, don’t really like the idea of getting older. While I agree with that to a certain extent, I also try to look at the positive and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. So as I approach year number 38 on Sunday, I wanted to share a few simple takeaways from this past year. These are in no particular order.
Read MoreWhen someone says the word fierce you probably immediately think of strong, bold, or maybe even mean. Those were some of the things I thought of at least until meeting Aly Raisman at my company’s convention this past July. She began to explain how fierce can be anything you want it to be.
By no means am I advocating for cooler weather, however the stores are filled with items for the new season so it’s time to start updating your closet too. I’ve listed my top 5 fall trends for the year that I think work for any woman.
Read MoreYesterday, I celebrated my 3 year LimeLife Anniversary. I cannot believe it’s already been that long. It seems like just yesterday I made a seemingly risky choice not knowing what the outcome would be. I did know one thing though; I would give it my very best effort.
Read MoreLast week I shared how I believe that we can do “all the things” if we choose to implement a few steps to simplify our lives. One of those was planning. I believe this to be the biggest factor in determining both success and maybe even sanity in our fast-paced world. I want to share with you some valuable strategies I have learned over the last few years in hopes that you too can find structure whether it’s in everyday home life or business.
Read MoreYou’ve probably heard you can’t “have it all.” If not, you will soon enough. You want to be the best wife, mom, friend, employee and business owner but it just doesn’t seem possible. I’m here to tell you though, it CAN happen.
