There is nothing more southern than a slice of pound cake and a glass of sweet tea. But if you came here for a recipe for sweet tea, i’m sorry to disappoint but you won’t find that from me. I’m not a sweet tea fan, but I am a pound cake fan. What sprung up our baking adventure this evening is actually even more southern than the pound cake itself. Our sweet next door neighbor has an old barn with the wood literally falling off. I had a vision and wanted to go see if the wood was in good enough shape to use for some projects. So I got…

Target is out for blood with their spring 2020 trends! They are bringing in tiedye, neons, prints, tiered top/dresses and all the things! Another thing I noticed while shopping, most (if not almost all) items are now made in both regular AND plus sizes. Yes, the exact same style just in a more inclusive size range and I am here for it! I cannot stand when I share my favs and I feel like some are left out because of an awful size range so Target really stepped it up this year! I’m linking some of my top favs from what I have seen both in stores and online! All…

You know those moments your kid does something that either melts your heart or makes you belly laugh uncontrollably? Same, and I never want to forget them. I swore I would create a baby book for both of my kids and well, let’s just say that slipped to the bottom of my “To Do” list.  From the day I found out I was pregnant, everyone around me told me to cherish the moments because one day I would miss them. And most of the time I thought they were crazy. How could anyone miss morning sickness and sleep deprivation? But the truth is, you do. You forget all the bad…

So you want to grow your instagram following but aren’t quite sure how? Well, grab a snack and have a seat because i’m teaching Instagram 101 today and you’re in the front row! Instagram is tricky. The algorithm is changing almost weekly and confuses all of us. Ever wonder why you can post one day and get hundreds of likes and the next minute you’re struggling to hit 50? Same. Girl same. The algorithm works against us, unless you’re spending a ton of money on ads (which I DO NOT suggest) then you are going to have to really work your audience and your strategies have to line up. That…

If you know me, then you’ll know that one of my favorite things to shop for is home decor. I could spend hours in Home Goods just walking isles and thinking of all the different ways I could use the various things I find. But if you aren’t careful, it can add up quick! When we built our house this summer, we knew our style would be a more modern farmhouse style and we needed to do it on a tight budget because, hello new mortgage payment. So I started looking at all the different places to shop and searching for awesome deals and coupons. Along the way, i’ve picked…

Ahh, the winter season brings on all the savory crockpot recipes and this one is one of my favorites. This actually belongs to my husband, I give him full credit. He’s the the cook in our house and I just like to bake! But when it comes to chili, this man rocks it! The recipe is easy and makes enough for a full family and plenty of left overs. You’ll want to be sure to pin this somewhere you can easily find it! Ingredients Needed; 3 Chicken Breast 1 box of Carol Shelbys White Chicken Chili kit 2 16 oz cans of White Navy Beans, drained 2 15 oz can…

Choosing a good skincare routine can be super challenging. It’s literally like finding a needle in a haystack until you find those perfect products. But sometimes the products you find can be extremely expensive and such a hit to purchase. Take Drunk Elephant for instance, they are my all time favorite skincare brand hands down. But buying a $98 serum every 6 months is a lot harder than a $8 serum from The Ordinary. So when I finally dug in and did some research on the brand and realized that the ingredients they use are pure and very clearly labeled, I decided to adventure in. And let me tell you…

I absolutely love to share all my favorite things with all of my favorite people, so what better way to do so than to start a {MyFavorites} monthly blog! I’ll share all my everyday favorite items from beauty, fashion, lifestyle and more! Maybe some fun things i’ve been doing with my kids, or recipes we’ve been using in our house! I’m always sharing on instagram stories but I feel like sometimes I leave things out from my blog family that should definitely be shared! So we’re kicking it off with my November Favorites! Some products will be linked via affiliate links and some will not. Affiliate links do earn me…

There is just something about the holiday season that always tugs on my heartstrings and makes me want to do everything I can to give back to those less fortunate. This could be something small, free and easy to do just to make someone’s day! I reached out to a few of my fellow blogger babes to get all the ways they choose to give back during the holiday season and these are what we rounded up! Idea from Myself– I am subscribed to tons of beauty subs so each month I get little makeup bags! I take them and fill them with things like travel size toothpaste, shampoo, condition,…
