Happy April! I can’t believe it’s already time to start thinking about summer clothes! I’m a little early this year as we have a warm weather vacation coming up in a few weeks, so I had to get my clothes in order. I went on the hunt for the perfect pair of shorts and am here to share what I found! Hopefully you’ll find some value in what I share if you are also in need of new shorts!

New Year, New Organization

Hi! Happy 2022! The new year always brings a lot of posts on organization and I’ve jumped on the bandwagon! I love makeup but have never been good about storing products. I was putting everything that would fit into an acrylic makeup organizer and the rest in a drawer. I saw these drawer dividers and they have been a game changer! I have more counter space on my vanity and can see all my products more clearly.

It’s that time again, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Access depends on your status, cardholders were able to shop today and the sale opens to the public July 28! I don’t crazy over this sale as some do, just pick up some things I already need if I find a good deal! Best advice is to buy only what you need and make sure you are actually getting a good discount!

Here’s what I am buying:

Thread & Supply Green Jacket – I thought this would be perfect for fall and it’s under $40!

Kids Vans Shoes – these are a great price are available in baby/toddler/kids!

Leopard Sweater – even though I’m permanently working from home now, still need cute sweaters for zoom calls!

Baby organic cardigan – great reviews, loved the price and thought it would be great for the change in seasons!

Zella sports bra – I have two of these already and love them! Perfect for cycling or low impact workouts!

That’s all from me, what’s in your bag?

DIY Spring Wreath

If you’re feeling the spring itch here’s a project for you!

Materials: Grapevine wreath, bunch of faux flowers, wired bow, floral wire, wire cutters, glue gun. I find everything at Michaels!

Directions: First decide the placement of your flowers and bow. For mine I wanted the flowers to go down one side ending in the middle of the side with the bow. Use the wire cutters to cut the flowers into pieces she starting putting them in place. You can use wire to position them or a glue gun. Once complete add the bow. For the bow I chose to use wire to secure it. Depending on how heavy it is you could also glue it.

St. Patrick’s Day Treat Bars

Hi!! Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Life, I guess? Anyway wanted to share a super easy St. Patrick’s Day treat!

Ingredients: Box of Lucky Charms (look for the St. Patty’s day limited edition), 1 bag of marshmallows, 3 tablespoons butter

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in marshmallows stirring often. Once marshmallows are melted, add in Lucky Charms, stirring until combined. Press into baking dish. Tip: if you are having trouble flattening the mixture into the dish, take a piece of parchment paper and spray with cooking oil, then use that to press the mixture down. Let harden and cut into bars.

Enjoy!

Fall Traditions – Apple Picking 2020

There’s a chill in the morning and the air is crisp. The leaves are changing and it’s starting to feel like fall in Chicago. We go apple picking as a family every year and while we’ve gone to the same orchard (read more here) for the past few years we decided to switch it up this fall. In times of Covid we wanted some where closer to home, just in case we arrived and it was too crowded or we felt uncomfortable.
