Holiday Jump-start with JORD

It’s clear to me that we have entered November as the stores have immediately transformed into Winter Wonderland’s. In one sense I hate to rush everything along, but on the other hand, I do love the holiday season and I prefer to take the time to enjoy it all. The Christmas music (which I am on […]

Family Holiday Attire

We had a lot going on this past weekend, part of which included a quick family photo session. My main goal was to get a shot for our Christmas cards, but I also like to update some framed family photos we have around our home. This year, I decided to go festive with our attire. […]

Wrapped Up

I hope you all had a great Halloween! My football player and two little mermaids had a great time and carried their weight home in candy (scroll down for a visual). We also had a first for Madelyn yesterday when I went to help her put on her costume and noticed her first tooth missing! […]

Fab Finds Under $50

I hope you guys had a great weekend! Despite a lot of rain and the first Penn State loss of the season (booo!), we had a good weekend. Bowling with the family, a date night and we even made homemade churros for the first time for my son’s Venezuelan school project…they turned out pretty well! […]

Pink + Plaid

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! Unfortunately Audrey woke up with a fever and some vomiting Saturday morning…my apologies if you haven’t finished your cup of coffee yet! Needless to say our weekend plans went by the wayside. I enjoyed a bunch of cuddling and we had plenty of downtime. She’s […]

PomPom Sweatshirt

When we have the kids in tow, I’ve been throwing out the option of being in ‘mommy’s photos’ to them every now and then. Madelyn has been the most eager but I’m hoping Jack will will decide to jump in one of these days. Too cool third graders ;) Audrey would likely be a blur […]

How To: Style Overalls for Fall

Following on the tail of Monday’s post, I thought it might be a good idea to pull together some of my overall looks (styled for fall in particular) to give you more examples of just how many ways you can wear them. These looks are from the past year or so and they are all […]

Overall Layers

The ground may have been wet, but we had a great day for picking pumpkins over the weekend. The only problem was that every pumpkin in the patch was gigantic, so we decided to pick out one big family pumpkin…that dad could carry ;) I shared some of the day on Instagram and had every […]
