How has your week been going? It’s been busy one for this momma trying to stay on my fitness goals and also keep at my New Year’s resolution of cooking once a week. Today I wanted to share one of my favorite looks this year. This is a look that many of ya’ll already might have in your closet but just don’t know to put together. Today I am sharing tips for an elevated dressier look with your everyday utility vest. I love a good olive utility vest, and this one I’m wearing has a removable fur hood too! It is a vest that can be worn all year around. Check out how I styled this vest below!

4 Reasons Why Mom’s Night Out is Beneficial For Your Family

Last Saturday I had such an amazing kid free day with my girlfriends and blogger babes filled with brunch, the pool, and endless amount of wine. It was definitely much-needed for this momma. Let’s face it no one likes a stressed out angry mom, and when you have been in the house all week potty training your very active two-year old like I have this past week, the walls of your home can seem like they are closing down on you. So when Saturday rolled around I chucked up the deuces at my husband and my son, and from 9am till 11pm I was nowhere to be seen. I needed a day to just recharge, hang out with my girlfriends, and feel validated that I was more than just a potty maid waiting on my son’s every bowel movement. So here’s the deal mamas I know we can feel guilty for having time for ourselves, but today I am going to prove to you why mom’s night out is beneficial for your family. So next time you do have a Mom’s Night out you can be stress and guilt free.

Happy Monday ya’ll! It’s been rainy and cold this past weekend but hopefully it will be sunny  warmer weather in our forecast this week. I am already excited for this week because I just found out my hubby and I will be going for a little getaway this weekend. I cannot wait to have some one on one time with the hubs. I think it is so important when you are married with kid(s) to take some time with your love. It really does the body, mind, heart, and soul good.  The last weekend my husband was off we went for a little brunch date after church to a cute brunch spot in Galveston. Josh is not a city person, even though I do love a good brunch in Houston. (Check out my favorite brunch spots here.) But we both love the fresh ocean air, so any chance we get we always go to Galveston. I wore this outfit with this fun pleated skirt for the perfect Sunday Brunch Look. Check out this look below and  make sure to enter in the $850 Nordstrom Giveaway!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

This week has been a particularly busy week for me as I prepare for my first international blogger collaboration at this brand new resort in Mexico. I am finalizing last-minute details but I can’t wait to share this once in a lifetime opportunity with you all. Stay tuned on my snapchat, as I share bits and pieces of my planning and preparation for this trip. But even bigger than this trip is my son’s second birthday tomorrow. I have been so distracted lately just savoring every precious little moment with my little man. I am still in disbelief of how much my son has grown. Last night I should have been working on this blog post but instead found myself watching videos of my little guy when he was a baby. There’s been nothing but heart eyes for this mama. I guess you could say I am seeing red lol. Haha see what I did there? But in all fairness here is a fun cozy outfit that will have you seeing red aka “heart eyes” for these gorgeous lace up heels and peacoat jacket.
