Get Styled With MANGO
Happy Monday everyone! I have been wanting to write this post for awhile and am so excited to finally be sharing one of my new favorite online retailers with you all! If you are feeling the need to update your wardrobe with a few new pieces for the winter-spring transition, look no further than MANGO. Leah and I discovered MANGO several years ago while we were living abroad in Valencia, Spain. We were awe struck by the gorgeous Spanish clothing and new brands to try and MANGO stood out among the competition. We were completely won over by their unique pieces and chic trends! Imagine our surprise when we discovered their US based…

Unique Valentines Day Gift Ideas
I just realized that this will be Andrew and my 7th Valentine’s Day together. Thinking back to our first V-Day I remember Andrew got me a big box of chocolate and we went out on a date to get Chinese food… with Leah! Hahah okay so maybe not the most romantic Valentine’s Day but it is one of my fondest memories because I was celebrating it with the man I already felt strongly would be my husband. (The fact that he would take me and my twin out to dinner and let us share our twin banter was a sure sign). Now, almost 7 year later we’ve gifted each other chocolate and flowers…

Crockpot Turkey Chili Recipe
If you are a fellow Midwesterner, you know just how cold it has been the past several weeks. Yesterday we got about 7 inches of snow and Andrew and I spent all day cuddled under blankets trying to stay warm! During the colder months, one of my favorite dishes to make is chili! Not only does it warm me up inside but its easy to make, is an excellent leftover meal, and makes my house smell AMAZING! Today I’m sharing my all time favorite turkey chili with you all that is super simple because the crockpot does most of the work! This version is loaded with lots of beans and spices to give…

Blazers for Work and Play

However, if you’re like me, you may be pumping yourself up to launch into the second half of the school year…GO PANTHERS!

5 Minute Guacamole Recipe
So I have been bragging about my amazing guacamole recipe non stop on Instagram and got quite a few comments asking that I share on the blog. This recipe is a hands down staple at my house. I used to buy pre-made guacamole but never felt completely satisfied with the flavor. I decided to play around with some different combinations and ended up with this fool proof 5 minute, 5 ingredient version. Whenever I’m invited to a party or having friends over this is the first recipe I think to make. Last night we had some fellow teacher friends over for a game night and we DEMOLISHED this giant bowl. Everyone asked where…

Brighten Up Your Winter Wardrobe
It’s mid January and, if you’re a Midwesterner like me, another cloudy 30 degree day. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in the Mitten State but winter weather is not one of its perks! When it’s cold and dreary outside, my initial tendency is to throw on my favorite over sized crew neck sweater and call it a day. However, I’ve recently been making an effort to step up my winter wardrobe in an attempt to brighten my mood and the mood of those around me! Sometimes seeing a pop of color or something floral is enough to push past the winter slump and feel motivated! Below, I’m sharing some simple tips…

Essential Wear to Work
As a young professional, I find myself spending a lot of time each day piecing together looks for the workplace. I teach middle school choir and often struggle to find a balance between comfortable, breathable outfits (for a hot classroom) and ones that help me feel confident. I’m only 5ft 2 inches tall and even on my most dressy days often blend in with my students. It’s a constant effort to find functional, professional work clothing as a petite women. One closet staple that I find myself returning to over and over again are shift skirts. They come in a variety of prints and fabrics and can easily be paired with almost every…
