The other day I checked out Harper's daycare report (a sheet her teachers send home daily with information about what she ate, diapers, what books they read, what songs they sang, activities, etc) and I noticed "jingle bells" was on the list. I asked her "did you sing jingle bells today?" "nooooooooo" "yes you did!" "noooooooo" So I started ...

Last week, H-E-B sent me a package of goodies with products perfect for the holidays--- or, anytime, really!

There will be giveaways with beauty prize ...
Our Weekend…
Hello and Happy Sunday! We took Harper to see Santa for this first time this year and as you can tell, it went just as we expected it would. I kind of love the photo anyway! It's funny because when we were waiting in line, she kept going to sneak glances of Santa with other kids and she didn't seem phased by him then. Enter her actually having to ...

Our Weekend + Cyber Monday
Hello and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This week is "back to normal" after being away on vacation for a week, followed by a shortened week for the Thanksgiving holiday. Before I share a little weekend re-cap, it's Cyber Monday and I would be remiss not to share with you a few of my favorite retailers and their sales. Here's a breakdown ...
The Lightweight Sweater
A lightweight sweater is an essential for the strange weather we've been having here. On Sunday, it was about 80 degrees and Monday the high dropped to 63. It was a little cooler in the morning so I also wore my trench coat yesterday morning. This navy sweater is lightweight, has a faux leather detail on the sleeves and is super long and flowy. I ...
Fall Layering with Lucky Brand
Do you know why I love fall? I mean, besides all of the fun and special holidays, pumpkin patches, pumpkin-spice lattes and leaves candles? Layering. I love to layer, but let's be honest, that's not a year-round option here in Houston. So when the temperatures dip enough to wear a shirt, sweater AND scarf… well, sign me up! For this post, I ...
Sweater + Dress
I can't recall if I've ever done this before, but I wore a dress as a skirt today. I always liked it when I saw other bloggers do this because you can really showcase the piece's versatility. We had a cold front coming in, so I wanted to wear a fuller skirt with boots and tights. This dress is sleeveless though, and that wouldn't cut it. So that's ...
Tartan
Happy Monday--- I hope your week is off to a great start! I feel like I always talk about the weather in my blog posts and that's largely because checking the daily forecast largely determines what I wear every day--- especially when the temperatures fluctuate so much throughout the day like they do in Houston. It started off kind of chilly ...
