Ben and I just started making monthly goals for ourselves, our family and our finances ✨

My personal goal this month is to workout at least 3x a week. I really want to make fitness a part of my everyday routine so I came up with this weekly schedule for this month to get us started:

👟 mon: Full body workout including strength + cardio

🏃‍♀️tues: cardio (interval walk/jog/run for minimum of 2 miles)

🏋️‍♀️ wed: leg + ab day

🧘‍♀️thurs: yoga and/or arms

👟fri: full body workout including strength + cardio

🏃‍♀️ sat: cardio (interval walk/jog/run for minimum of 2 miles)

🚶‍♀️sun: get outside! Family walk, hiking, etc. just move 👍

For my workouts I am using which im freaking obsessed with! I can share more about this if you’re interested!!

04/08/2022

This is probably one of my favors to date. Love this romper so much! Easy to throw on and SO comfy. I honestly wear this lounging around the apartment more than anything.

Dress up, dress down, you pick! Find the link in our highlights👌

I’ve been serve a bunch of “updating millennial fashion to be on trend” TikTok videos because, apparently, I’m now old. And I’m pretty happy with how my little errand day outfit turned out 🤗

p.s CANNOT find good lighting in our master bedroom and getting QUITE annoyed with this situation 🫠

13/07/2022

In honor of prime day, messy buns, and rompers… we thought we would share two of our favs!

Kayla’s — $30
Jacki’s — $30

Both have multiple colors and patterns. We LOVE that you can dress these up or just where them all comfy around the house🤩
You can find both of these outfits/similar styles on Amazon. Find the link in our stories or DM us👏

Maybe it’s not perfect, but it’s ours🇺🇸❤️
Have a great 4th of July weekend!!💫

21/06/2022

Idk how it took all of us this long to discover the perfection of Tennis. dresses but I am HERE FOR IT 👏👏

This one is $34 on right now (link in stories or I can DM you!) and I’m going to be living in it this summer.

There are a few cheaper options I’m going to test out, but right now this one has my heart 🤍there are 6 different colors, and 2 floral patterns!

16/06/2022

The wardrobe overhaul is in FULL swing over here. And first up in my little series is my summer basics haul!

I am obsessed with this tie strap romper, so dang cute + comfy!

Head to stories for the links to my first haul, all basic pieces perfect for running around this summer!

✨Happy National Best Friend Day✨

We have way too much fun together, that’s for sure🤪 But most importantly, we lift each other up and encourage each other on. Life’s hard. Have some wine with your bestie🥂

22/05/2022

What we realized yesterday:

✨ We clean up nice
🫠 I need to clean my mirror

Love love love this dress from it fits great, and there are so many colors/patterns. Really good for a backyard/garden wedding this season!

14/05/2022

So! we will be attending a backyard wedding next weekend, and I have a handful of dresses to try on and pick from! I’ll be on stories in the next few days with some try-on hauls from Amazon, maybe some target, and who knows where else!

Coke hangout and help me pick!

✨Monday Thoughts✨

Recently had a conversation with some girlfriends about trying new things. One of them summed up everyone’s thoughts perfectly: “I don’t like trying new things that I don’t know I’m good at, so I just don’t try them.”

I agreed fully. Then I thought, how ridiculous? Do you care what other people look like trying new things for the first time? Heck no! So why would people care how good or bad I am at something?

So here’s some encouragement for your week! In this pick I’m wearing a sweater I tried to “paint/create”. First time I’ve ever done something this crafty. It was a mess and didn’t work at all…. I almost threw the sweater out completely. But then I thought, who says my first craft has to be Etsy worthy? And why do I care if it didn’t turn out ~perfect~?

So cheers to a new week! Maybe just try something new! Give yourself a chance to be good OR bad at it. I mean, I love this screwed up sweater and already have plans to try again with the next one👌

14/04/2022

Okay, can we talk about what a DIFFERENCE a belt makes??

It’s been years since I’ve even bought a belt, and now I’m obsessed. It pulls in my waist (bc I’m a millennial and I wear high waisted jeans) and keeps me from awkwardly pulling up my jeans all day.

Also, just have to cheer for myself, these jeans didn’t fit over my thighs 4 months ago 👏🙃

Happy Monday! ☀️

I kinda hate the whole thought process of “the Monday blues. What a way to guarantee you have a crappy start to your week, right? Monday doesn’t have to be a bad omen. Monday doesn’t have to be a begrudging sigh of a day. It can be a new opportunity. It can bring a new perspective. It can be WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE.

✨ As Winston Churchill said, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

09/04/2022

I’m obsessed with this $12 graphic tee. It’s making me feel like a casual fashionista and I freaking love it.

I’m having a little mommy’s day, mani pedi’s you know the drill, and soaking up this 36 hour getaway. What are you up to this Saturday?

✨Outfit Info:
Shirt: $12, XL
Belt: $10, 2XL (should have stuck with an XL)
Jeans: Levi high waisted skinny’s, size 12
who knew, right?

❗️ICYMI: I’ll be selling some stuff on in the coming weeks

Happy first day of spring!🌷☀️

We’ve been super busy the past few weeks, but we’re back at it this week kicking off the new season🌸🌼

Tune in Wednesday for our latest episode and we hope you had a fantastic weekend💞

I have lost 14 lbs this year. I have quite a bit more to go until I hit my goal but friends, let me tell you, those 14 lbs have gained me so much more. Starting with my confidence.

I am feeling like myself again for the first time since having kids. I want to go try on clothes, maybe put together a new outfit or style. In the last few years I have tried to get back into clothes, but always fell short. I would head into a dressing room, or unpack an online order for an at home try on, and always end up on the brink of tears. I hated how I looked or, even worse, the size of the clothes themselves.

But my confidence is rebuilding as I go through this transformation. And it isn't just about the number on the scale, although that does feel amazing, its about every little thing that goes with eating better and exercising. I feel better. I feel better about how I look, how clothes fit and how I'm not out of breath running around with my kids.

Making healthy choices or decisions does not mean you're turning your back on who you used to be, but celebrating who you are becoming. A healthier version of me is here to stay, and I can't wait to meet the me of 3 months from now! 🤍

May your week be filled with sunshine and warmer weather, together walking with the good Lord☀️💗

I’m glad to be at the point where I only need a light jacket, but I’m also ready for wedges and sandals🌸

I watched a reel on “how to style joggers” and it made me feel so here we are…in the same joggers I wore yesterday. Only this time, I did a front tuck with an oversized sweater and have clean hair 💁🏼‍♀️

All I’m saying is it doesn’t take much to feel like a 👸 even if it’s laundry day!

NEW EPISODE✨

We don’t even know how much we talk about s*x in our marriages.

It’s one of those topics, that no matter how you grew up, ends up being some problem or point of contention in marriage at some point. Kayla and I work on encouraging each other through the ups and downs to help guide each other to the other side and into a new season🌸

There are growing movements within the church having more open conversations about s*xual satifacation and restoration within marriage. Rethinking Sexuality, by Juli Slattery, is a great conversation starter and challengers for addressing our own perception and issues spiritually and how they play out s*xually.

Some resources that we’ve come to love are:

New episode out today!!!
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, we like to manage our expectations. SO! We will forever be each other’s Valentine❤️😘

One of my fav memories is our first our senior year of high school💗

I don’t remember what I got Kayla, but Kayla got me the BIGGEST Valentines card I have ever seen. I love that Galentines has become such a thing!
Do you have favorite Galentine tradition you do with your besties every year???

Drop them in the comments below!!!

I woke up EXHAUSTED today 🥴 My 3-year-old came in before 7:30 AM and everything in me wanted to stay curled up in bed. This is our second snow day in a row here in and what’s more exciting is that it was raining ice yesterday that is now being covered by a blanket of snow 🧊❄️So yeah, the “you can just stay in bed” whispers were strong.

The best way I know to shush those whispers is to just jump out of bed and get ready for the day. Put on some makeup that makes you feel as gorgeous as you ARE and an cute+comfy outfit you can wear all day whether you’re working from home, or wrangling kids.

What’s ONE thing you can do today to help you tackle your to-do list?

It’s the month of ~looove~

The pressure is always so high for Valentine’s Day the first half of the month and then it’s like you forget the second half of the month exists. Unless it’s Leap Year (it’s not).

Hopefully you’re blown out of the water with whatever romantic gesture you receive!
Since we’re both married, the pressure has greatly diminished…. But we do remind each other that it’s not just the guys who should be wooing is! We can get a little creative too!

But honestly, we both consider each other our valentine more than our spouses❤️😉

Any big plans for the month of love? Or are we all sitting around waiting for spring to show it’s face??🥶🥶🥶

05/01/2022

New year, new you… right?

Personally, I really don’t like that saying. It’s a LOT of pressure to just flip a switch and become whoever or whatever it is you want to be.

The whole sentiment isn’t grounded in anything and it isn’t very grace giving.

So how about instead, setting out to slowly but surely create realistic goals with realistic expectations supported by realistic steps you can take?

My first and top goal? Get in the Bible more. At least 2-3 days a week. Realistic. But unbelievably doable.

How about you? How can you realistically set yourself up for success??

Happy Thanksgiving🦃🍁🥧

We are so grateful for all of our listeners who follow our somewhat irregular podcast!

Remember to pause and take a moment to look at your life and not compare it to anyone else or your own mental standard. Just soak in all the amazing pieces and not so amazing pieces that make up your story. Special and unique as we walk purposefully with God.

Let’s try and take this into every season of life, and not just when turkey’s on the table!!

Because deserves an post.

At this point, think over 95% of my wardrobe is Target/Amazon. That has me leaving ~cheap~ (and loving it)

This whole outfit was less than $80. It can be done! I also love that I can swap out the booties for sandals and roll up the jean jacket and booooom, instant cross-seasonal outfit!

Also, not pictured? The pile of laundry on the bed waiting to be put away and the pile of dirty laundry in the closet waiting to be washed…

Ignoring the kids finger prints and licks….this sweater is SO DANG soft!

I got it in an XL to make sure I had an oversized fit, the L would have only been slightly oversized

Also swipe ➡️ for the boots I wore with this outfit (hint: it’s not me strutting around in them 😂)

Hey there friends! 👯‍♀️ We are back after a long hiatus –thanks so much to the stress of moving–and some things are changing around here!

First off, we are still doing our podcast! Our first episode back will be LIVE next Wednesday, so tune in for that catch up. But, we are no longer just a podcast! 🎙

This next idea came as we did try-ons together over back and forth trying on outfits and hyping each other up (We are big buy, try and return people over here)

👗So we are going to bring that energy, and those vibes to this space! You’ll find some cute outfits, at great prices, beauty product trials, try-on sessions and a little bit of “styled on both bodies” for some inspiration! 👠

We’ll be starting here soon so make sure you’re following along. Fun is about to be DOUBLED!
