Life Lately
what I've been up to...
Liquid IV + the summer I turned pretty is a must after the first game day.
How Piper spent most of her Labor Day off of school…
Beautiful!
Resting up to start another week!
Game day nails to celebrate the start of the season!
It’s amazing to me how animals can tell exactly when we need some comfort. Even the middle school counselor needs love from the therapy dog every now & then!
On the bookshelf this week!
I know I’m biased, but I think Piper is the cutest coworker…
Wednesday night church, followed by a post-church treat!
I had to go to a quick doctors appointment, so I rewarded myself with a coffee & some grandma + Piper time.
That end of the day Friday feeling:
A little self-care evening — painting my nails + watching the Chiefs.
Had the absolute BEST day on Saturday celebrating our Dad’s 50th birthday by doing something he loves most — tailgating & cheering on the cats (who unfortunately didn’t get the memo that we were all supposed to be celebrating)! Oh well, the best memories!!
We surprised him with these koozies & it was awesome lol!
Cutest little custom cookies!
Piper loves twinning with her aunt Avery!
Our (almost) cousin-in-law painted this banner & it turned out SO CUTE!
Two little game day besties!
10/10 recommend the Rice family tailgate!
outfits of the week...
I’ve started to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.
in case you missed it...
A look back at all the outfits I wore this August as a middle school counselor—easy, comfortable, & classroom-ready styles that carried me through busy school days! Click here to see the post.
As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.
Next up is my Friday favs post!! Click here to read that one. It’s a goodie if I do say so myself. ;)
