Merry Christmas

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is upon us. What is it about getting older that makes each year fly by all the faster?! Our week has been packed full of Christmas activities but as long as we can all get some restful sleep I think we’ll fully be able to enjoy these next few […]

Gift Guide for Her 2017

I’m rounding out my holiday gift guide series today with my favorite…the guide for her. I know the time for shipping is just about up, but many of these items can also be picked up in store. Oooor you can surprise yourself with a few things that arrive post Christmas, there’s no harm in that! […]

Bedford Springs

Well, today I turn 36. It feels strange being on this side of 35…the side that’s closer to 40 than 30. And yet here I am, feeling not a day over 30 ;) As it may be, I wouldn’t trade in any of the years and go back. Life isn’t perfect, but it is good. […]

Snowfall

Yesterday morning we woke to the most beautiful first snowfall of the year. The kids had a two hour delay which brought a smile to my face as I slapped the snooze button ;) I’m ready for the weekend though. With my birthday being Monday we’ve got some fun activities happening over the next few […]

Guys Gift Guide 2017

With less than two weeks until Christmas, I’m guessing that many of you are approaching your shopping finish line. I personally always struggle with the guys.

Cold Weather

Happy Monday! In case you weren’t counting, we are down to the final two weeks until Christmas! The holiday season is most certainly in full swing. The kids had their school Christmas concert on Friday (oh my gosh were they adorable), our church had their Christmas Extravaganza on Saturday full of cookies and children’s activities […]

Second, everything is 40% off (and card members receive triple points). Third, I’m going to be hosting a style event at our State College LOFT store tomorrow! […]

Holiday Style

I’ve been planning out a holiday style post for a while now, but it took me some time to narrow things down and come up with some ensembles that I feel would resonate with you all. A few weeks back I did a quick poll on Instagram to find out if you guys were looking […]

Quilted Coat

I hope you guys had a great weekend! We brought home our Christmas tree yesterday and let’s just say it makes quite a statement ;) My husband has an allergy to pine so for years we played it safe and used only an artificial tree. Last year we decided to test it out and keep […]

Tunic Sweatshirt

I have to apologize for taking so long to get this sweatshirt up on the blog. Some of you scooped it up when I shared it on Instagram and I hope you’re loving it as much as I am. It’s hard to find a good tunic length sweatshirt and when I walked past it at […]
