Life Lately
what I've been up to...
My StuCo students took on the “give this to a staff member who...” trend last week, & the results were equal parts funny, sweet, & heartfelt. Grateful for staff members who make our district such a great place to be — & proud of these students for making appreciation a priority! Sometimes the smallest moments can make the biggest impact. You can watch my Instagram reel here. I made these cutie cards on canva & will think them for you here.
Piper always manages to find the sunny spots.
A year full of blooming — May staff appreciation goodie!
Finding out I have strep + large pus pockets in each ear was not on my “last week of school” bingo card.
The best kind of mid-morning pick-me-up!
Starting next week this is what every evening will look like!
On the bookshelf this week!
Piper can definitely tell I’m not feeling my best. She’s so attentive & giving extra snuggles.
I’ve been loving these protein drinks from Chobani for quick mornings on the go.
Being sick on the first day of summer ain’t got nothin’ on us! Started off our Saturday morning the way we love to start all summer days… with a walk of course!
Followed by a therapy visit at a local library to help high school students destress a bit while studying for finals. I think it’s safe to say these girls are pooped!
Even though it’s May, my grandma offered to make chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles for lunch. It felt SO GOOD on my throat!
Pretty worn down after a very full week + being sick, but so thankful for another wonderful school year in the books.
My parents bought this at a brewery they were at recently & we all love it. Cheers to surviving the last week of school!!!
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...
April favorites, according to YOU! These are the pieces you loved most this month — & honestly, I get it… so many good ones!! From everyday staples to standout finds, this lineup did not disappoint. Saving this as your sign to grab your favs before they’re gone! Click here to read this 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.
If you follow me on Instagram or LTK, then you’ve probably noticed that I have really stepped up my game when it comes to collages of sales, outfit inspos & new items. Well, that is all thanks to my younger sisters, Bethany & Avery. They’re “poor college students” & my mom & I were looking for some extra help on the blog, so it just made sense to bring them on board! We’ll be compiling all of the collages into one post each week so that they’re all in one place & to give those who don’t use social media a place to find them! Check out their post by clicking here!
Next up is my Friday fashion favs post!! Click here to read that one. It’s a goodie if I do say so myself. ;)
