Happy New Year! I'm a little late, right? I've been totally MIA on the blogging front lately and that doesn't come without a good explanation because a few months ago (ok, ahem... a little more than a few) I promised myself and my son that I would get off social media and start living in the moment more. I found myself becoming obsessive about my phone and social media and I felt like I started missing things. Maybe not huge events - but events that honestly as you moms all know, I won't get back. When I was less on my phone and more in the moment I started to notice ALL of the little things. I'm sure you've heard this five BAZILLON times before from your mother, sister, brother, friend, aunt, acquaintance and woman at the grocery store - but they grow up so darn fast and then it's over. Well ok, I'm being a little dramatic per usual (or so my husband says) It's not over it's just that they aren't that little anymore. You wake up and their in 5th grade already (seriously, WTF time how is my child already 17 months?!?!) Long story short... heres to 2017 and balancing what I love to do and never missing a moment. I have no idea what any of this had to do with overalls but heres a bunch of AMAZING shots of me in overalls because Spring and all that good stuff. Hello 2017, you look promising.

Ever since I got pregnant with Cam I've really stepped it up in the skincare department. I think its important to take care of your skin early on and this is something I've slacked on in the past. I know it's a huge no-no to fall asleep with your makeup and I've been totally guilty of this! Personally after a long day of work/mommying I just want to fall in to bed and forgot my skincare. I've seen so many people rave about Tula so I had to give them a try! Tula's products do not disappoint and are now part of my daily routine. I am obsessed with their day/night cream because it's not oily and is super lightweight.

Happy Friday babes! Thank GOD it's the weekend. I have been totally MIA lately and it's been insane how much is going on. Cam is officially acting like a toddler keeping momma so busy and I'm still working full time #momlife ;)
Here in Florida it is still SO hot! I actually wish it would cool down because I love fall style. I've been dying to wear my OTK boots. Who else is looking forward to cooler weather?

Every single parent I've ever talked to told me that it would go fast and to "enjoy it!" An expression I think everyone uses these days and funny enough I even find myself using it now. It really does FLY by. Snap your fingers and it is gone. I cannot believe my baby is already a year old and at the same time has only been our lives for a year. It seems like he was always here and meant just for us. When you have a baby you feel like you have known them your whole life. I feel so lucky that I am his mommy. Happy Birthday baby boy, you are my everything.

Hi loves! Is it friday yet? Ha ha I wish! We have been moving slow around our house and Camden is getting his second front tooth so he has not been a happy camper, ah! I like to keep my looks simple and stylish especially when I'm running around with Cam. I've been really drawn to buying bell sleeves lately and it's pretty much taking over my closet. This dress is a total steal and under $30!

Hi loves! Hope your all having a great weekend and shopping the AMAZING NSALE. I've gotten a few items that I can't wait to arrive like this jacket ($65 dollars, what?!) and these booties. Speaking of deals, I've made it my mission to keep my closet stylish while still keeping it affordable. Truthfully, we are in saving mode at our house so I have to ball on a budget ;) I've rounded up a few things I've purchased lately that are the wallet friendly version of expensive pieces I've seen. I love finding items that look similar to the big ticket ones but don't cost top dollar. Some dupes I've gotten lately are these Karen Walker lookalikes, these Isabel Marant dupes and this double buckle belt. SO cute! What have you all gotten lately?

Happy Saturday! Last weekend we had a short staycation at Grand Cypress for my hubby's golf tournament. My mom and dad came along so the girls and little Cam relaxed by the pool and ordered room service - it's nice to be pampered every once in a while as I'm sure all you ladies know ;) 


These lovelies have been sold out and they are finally back in stock here and here! I am obsessed and they are amazing quality. Sizes are selling fast so I'd hurry! (I'm always between a 7 and 6.5 and I went with the 6.5 and they fit great)


I've been on quite the hat binge lately. The one above is super cute and under $100 here! I also splurged and bought this one too which is available to pre-order.


This little guy and I have been actually using this jogger for once (seriously, I've had this thing for 9 months and I've just now used it as a "jogger") 


 He definitely loves our little runs. He saw a bird for the first time and got so excited.


This is my absolute fave go to on busy nights or fast lunches. I make a giant batch (recipe here) and save it for the week and then top it on spinach. It is even good on brown rice or on its own! 


This room service salad was SO good. I try to keep all my meals healthy and have a few cheats when I'm on vaca.


His shirt is just the cutest and it says "I wish I was a little bit taller" although this mama wishes he'd stop growing so fast! He's definitely outgrowing it so I've just ordered this and this!


Above are pretty much my everyday staples (other than the days I go makeup-less which is quite often being a mommy) Left to right: Nars Lipstick in Honolulu Honey, Nars Blush, Laura Gellar, Effortless Breathable Tint and Bye-Bye Under Eye (this stuff literally makes you look wide awake!)

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
