My Blog Story

As a blogger I feel like the biggest question I get and others get is… How did you get started blogging and influencing. I also have a pretty good feeling that we all have a rather different story with maybe a few similarities.

Be a Macaron in a cookie cutter world. Ok, I had t

Be a Macaron in a cookie cutter world. Ok, I had to! But honestly I have been wanting to learn how to make Macarons for well over a year now and today was my first attempt.

I have read a ridiculous amount of Macarons for beginners blog posts, different recipes, and even watched some videos. All of which said that making the perfect Macarons takes practice .

A little back story, this isn’t the first time I have set out on some random baking journey. A few years ago I was on the hunt for the best chocolate chip cookies... ✔️then it was learning how to make pies ✔️ so here I am on the Macaron journey.

I will say, I didn’t have a lot of hope for my first go. I had a small hiccup with missing the correct piping tip but made do. The first ones in the oven didn’t really flatten out. The second ones in flattened out a better but still didn’t have the beautiful smooth top I hoped for. Even though they don’t look perfect.... they are at least delicious so I am counting this first attempt not a complete failure.

Now the real question is... who’s going to help me eat all these trial and errors until I master the macaron?!?

Alright friends, if you’ve been waiting to buy your Vejo I am telling you right now is the time. Vejo has sent me a special offer for new customers only and it is SO good that I can only send it to you via DM. Send me a message if you’re ready to make your purchase!!

I don’t leave home without my @vejo! Between the collagen glow, tropical smoothie, cold brew coffee, protein drinks, and immunity fuel there is always something I am wanting and needing!

Kids now more than ever need dirt, puddles, bugs,

Kids now more than ever need dirt, puddles, bugs, trees, sticks, and all things nature. Being outside recharges us, calms us, and gives hope and wonder. It’s also great for kids physical and emotional development.

We are all feeling so many emotions about everything going on and that includes our children too. Whether they will be learning from home or heading off to school wearing masks it creates uncertainty for them too.
But for those moments they are outside playing or out on an adventure they can feel like kids! They can be kids! They can feel like all is right in the world!

There is no such thing as too much fresh air!

Phew! I just uploaded a small try on in @liketokno

Phew! I just uploaded a small try on in @liketoknow.it and in my stories. I know that might not seem like a lot of work but it actually takes a lot of time. Right now bloggers are sharing a ton of #nsale try ons, sale finds, fall fashion, back to school finds, and so much more! If you have a favorite blogger or a blogger shares a sale or outfit you are going to buy, please consider using their links! I promise what takes 10 extra seconds for you, will mean so much to them!!

If you are not sure where or how to get a link....
For most if not all bloggers... if you send them a dm just asking for a link they will be honored to give it to you. You can also follow their blog or on LIKEtoKNOW.it.

Want to support your favorite bloggers even more? Share their posts. If you buy something share it in your stories and tag them. We all love seeing what you buy!

Yes, we get a small (less than you think) kickback on sales but I promise you taking these few seconds to do this truly means more than that kickback! Also, by using those links, sharing the posts, and sharing what you buy.... it allows bloggers to know what you are loving. It allows bloggers to know their followers style better. It allows bloggers to have this space. It allows bloggers to be a better reference for you. It also allows this to be a business/job for your favorite bloggers.

So in case you didn’t know.... you truly are everything to your favorite bloggers!

#ad Alright guys, I hate to air out my dirty laundry but holy cow we have a lot. However, thanks to @odorcrush laundry balls and dryer balls my laundry just got a whole lot easier!
The laundry and dryer balls are reusable making them eco/friendly and way more cost-efficient. You literally drop 1-3 laundry balls the wash and that’s it. No more chemical filled detergents that cost a ton, weigh a lot, and take up a ton of space. The dryer balls (chemical free) are just as easy. Toss a couple in the dryer and not only do they do the same as a chemical filled dryer sheet but they also speed up drying time! I will admit I was missing a “laundry scent” so I just ass a few drops of essential oils and I am one happy momma!
I love these so much, I've partnered with Odor Crush to giveaway laundry balls to 3 fans + a friend. All you have to do is follow Odor Crush, like their most recent post that I've shared to my story, and tag a friend in the comments.

The WINNERS will be selected at random and announced Monday 8/10. Must be over 18 & in the US to enter.
To get entered head to their most recent post in my stories to learn more!

There is a first time for everything! For the first time in my 35 years my hairstylist told me my hair felt healthy. If you have been here awhile you know this has been a major struggle for me so for her to say that, I was so excited!!

I just shared my Monday Must-haves (link in bio) and this week it’s all about my haircare! I mean I can’t be the only one with this struggle, right?

I dream of summers that last forever. I’m not 10

I dream of summers that last forever. I’m not 100% sure what the school year will look like but I know I am not ready for school to resume.

Even with a shortened school year this past spring I still feel like this summer has gone way too fast.

I enjoy our days together. Most of our days consist of some kind of water fun wether it be at the lake, at the pool, at the grandparents, or even our backyard. These @loolagoon Turkish towels are the best!! They take up very little space, so easy to wash, easy to grab and go because again they take up little space, and they dry so quickly!

We even love to use Turkish towels at the beach because they don’t get as much sand stuck in them!

Are you a Turkish towel fan?!? I highly recommend @loolagoon for you Turkish towels!

I stepped back a bit from social media this weeken

I stepped back a bit from social media this weekens and it's just what this momma heart needed. Time with the people that mean the most.

Right now parents everywhere are struggling with what the right thing to do with their kids and school. Right now there are other parents telling other people what to do with their kids. Their are parents being shamed for doing what they feel is right for their kids.

I am sorry but I am going to do what I feel is best for my kids and I hope you all do the same. With that said, what I feel is best for my kids might not be what you feel is best for your kids and I am here to say that is OK!

If you have decided to send your kids to school, I know that was not an easy decision and I support you.

If you have decided to homeschool your kids, I know that was not an easy decision and I support you.

If you have decided to do E-learning and see how it goes, I know that was not an easy decision and I support you.

The truth is, there is no right answer there is just what you feel comfortable with. Let's not judge others or make others feel uncomfortable and let's just support each other! Parenting is hard enough as it is!

I shaved my legs for you! I have tried out the @meetflamingo, the @billie, and the @athenaclub razors. I just shared my personal opinion in my stories.

Now, I do think what works for one person doesn't work for everyone. I have seen plenty of people rave about all 3 razors. I did however want to share what razor works the best for me in case you have the same struggles as me.

Anyone else having all the feelings thinking about the kids going back to school?!

I know this momma is! I am grateful that I found @maryruthorganics Vitamin C Gummies to help boost our immune systems!

They are pectin based, gluten free, vegan, and soy free! They are 125 mg of vitamin C and the kids and I both love how good they taste!!

I have a feeling school starting back up there will be lots of battles but I know I won't have to battle them to take their Vitamin C!!!

You can grab the link to these Gummies on my LIKEtoKNOW.it and in my stories!

Oh the joys of parenting....Sometimes the right thing and the hardest thing are the same thing! And the best thing you can hope for as when the dust settles they feel loved. Mae’s dance recital looked a bit different than we expected but we made the best of it and she definitely felt loved.

“Off the Florida keys
There’s a place called KoKoMo
That’s where you want to go
To get away from it all!”

Since we can’t go there today.... we will be sitting poolside having tropical drinks melting in our hands pretending to be in Kokomo. It’s going to be so hot here today it’s going to feel tropical 🌴 for sure!

Where are you dreaming of being?!
