  • Sorel Waterproof Boots

    Sorel Waterproof Boots

    The temps are dropping and I’m always on the lookout for stylish yet warm and cozy looks.

    My go-to boots when I don’t want my tootsies cold are these Sorel’s. Bonus: they are on sale!! This isn’t my exact pair, I actually found mine a few years ago and they still have similar ones at Nordstrom!

    They pair perfectly with some cozy Spanx or high-waisted Zella leggings and a puffy jacket.  Think soccer mom uniform.

    I was just talking to someone about how it used to take me over a year to invest in the shoe I really wanted, mainly because of the price.  My Uggs, Tory Burch flats, Hunter boots and now these. I fight buying them because first, I question if they will go out of style too quickly and second, there are usually decent knock-offs to be found.  After I finally find a discount code or sale price, I’ll buy.

    I’ve come to the realization now though that is it’s something I’ve been wanting for longer than a couple months and I can’t stop thinking about it..I need to just buy them.  Better to have sooner than later so I can enjoy them longer, right?!

    Every time I go to Target and try to justify a cheaper pair, I’m never satisfied and end up taking them back.  I’m a higher quality shoe girl and I’ve accepted it. It might mean I have quality over quantity and I’m okay with that.  My husband on the other hand …

  • Goals Were Never Even A Thought, Now They Are Everything

    The Girl with no Goals

    The girl in the before picture never made goals, felt self-conscience ALL the time, and had no idea how she was going to teach her kids about not giving up-because that’s all she knew how to do. She wasn’t in a place of need or guidance from God because she balanced it all on her own shoulders. She stayed in her comfort zone. Goals weren’t even in her thoughts.  She ate her emotions and hid her true feelings from just about everyone. This was 9 years ago.

    Fast forward 6 years and there was an opportunity placed in front of her. She watched as others shared their stories of where they came from and what they had accomplished. The goals they had made and accomplished.  She wondered, why not me? Why couldn’t she earn extra money and make my own hours, actually make goals and hit them?

    Working at Nordstrom’s left me wanting to not give up the niceties of life. Hello fashion, shoes and cosmetics!! Being able to support the family using the talents God gave me would be a win/win, right? Being healthy in mind, body and spirit for a career seemed pretty legit. To have something that fit in the cracks of my mommy-life and build on itself seemed too good to be true. I didn’t have all the health answers but I knew what was working for me and loved encouraging people. To have something that would teach me to step out, learn to fail and get back up and would continually build my character.  Here’s more of my full story!

    The Girl with Goals…..and Hitting Them!

    Fast forward to present day. I’ve been able to use the gifts God has given me. I actually have made goals and hit them!!  To invite others to join me in having more energy for their families. To stay home with the kiddos and work in my Juicy Couture sweats. To be challenged daily and fight the good fight of life and NEVER give up.

    Maybe you don’t have kids yet but you want to make a career out of something that keeps you accountable to your own health goals? Maybe you’re a mommy but want something on the side for yourself? Or perhaps you want to grow a business at your own pace for when the kiddos are in school full time or off to college? Maybe you want to switch careers to something more meaningful than what you’re currently doing.

    As I look at how much I’ve learned and grown, I can’t keep this to myself. I set goals, hit them and now help others do the same.  Coaching has given this worker-bee girl a sense of pride and purpose. It allows us as a family to give more and be together lots. No more punching time-clocks for me. Only freedom to pay it forward and teach others how to share their stories. Message me to join our group next week to learn more….let’s hit some goals! ??

  • Guess Online Comes Through with Sequins!

    Guess Apparel at Guess Online

    Annual White Elephant party outfit and a date night with my guy. Got my workout in and I swear it was a mood changer for me today.

    He found this outfit for me at Guess online (crazy good sale, btw). I love that he helps me dress in something other than yoga pants! ?

    I love these shoes.  I picked up these beauties at Nordstrom, two Anniversary Sales ago.  They are by Ivanka Trump. #sequinsfordays #yayforparties

  • Women’s Clothing! Love this Sweater with Patches!

    Women’s Clothing

    Women’s clothing are hard to come by as a mom cause we are always in crazy yoga pants mode so much of the time.  I am usually fighting to have any semblance of femininity at home with two little crazies running around.  I love getting out and dressing at least semi-fashionable.  This little outfit is simple, cute and allows me to still transition back to mom mentality instantly!  Oh, I I love Nordstrom Rack!  Elbow patches, ripped knees and booties! Yay for a kid-free mommy morning. The fastest 3 hrs I’ve ever had!  

    • Sweater is from Brass Plum at Nordstroms.
    • The black jeans are from TBD, Treasure and Bond at Nordstrom Rack.
    • Booties are from Brass Plum at Nordstroms as well
    • Gold watch is Michael Kors.
