Life Lately
what I've been up to...
My favorite way to wake up!
Book club night!
BIG fan of shark week!
Piper is going to miss these slow afternoon couch naps!
Added some solar lights to my backyard fence & I'm obsessed!
On the bookshelf the past two weeks!
Always snugglin’.
We had a couple of days where it was 80 degrees + rainy. I LOVE fall, so the weather got me excited!
One of my favorite self-care habits.
Therapy visit to an adult care center!
We were blessed BIG time in the grandma department!! Happy 80th to this precious lady! We had the best time celebrating with all the family this weekend. We love you so!
This spring, I had all of my cousins send me a picture of a piece of paper with their handwriting saying “I love you”. I then used canva to piece them all together & printed it out as a little keepsake for my grandma’s birthday. It turned out so good! & I love this rounded wooden frame.
Rainy afternoon couch naps!
Followed by a clear evening of reading outside.
Got my labs done in two pokes which is always a good day! I have very difficult veins & I always feel so bad for the ladies having to poke me.
A post-poke treat included starbucks & a trip to see my grandma!
My mom had made a comment a few months ago about how she wanted a welcome flag / sign for their camper. I found this wooden one on Etsy & ordered it for my mom’s birthday. It turned out so good + looks so nice right outside their door!
Soaking up my last few days of freedom + sunshine.
We love an empty dog park!
Taking my hair care a little more seriously this year! I've always had pretty healthy hair, but I'd love to add a little more thickness & give it some extra support. I just started my Nutrafol journey, & I'm excited to share my progress with you along the way! If you've been thinking about trying it too, use my code LTK15 at checkout on Nutrafol's website. It stacks with their welcome offer for even more savings:
$24 off a monthly subscription
$55 off a 3-month subscription
$121 off a 6-month subscription
Can't wait to see where this journey takes us!
Stopped by Trader Joe’s one evening. These are the two finds I’m most excited about lol!
Quick walk before heading to enrollment all day! SO good to see so many kiddos + parents. Enrollment day is always so long, but makes me so excited for the school year to start!

outfits of the last two weeks...
During the school year I did a pretty good job at consistently sharing 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. However, because it’s summertime, sometimes I don’t even get dressed lol so I’ll share as much as I can, but it’s definitely not as big of a priority for me like during the school year.
enrollment OOTD!

in case you missed it...
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.
June was full of Amazon deliveries, & I've rounded up everything I purchased throughout the month in one spot! Whether you're looking for affordable fashion, everyday essentials, or fun new finds, you'll find all of my June Prime purchases right here. I hope it helps you discover something you'll love too!
I read eight books in the month of June. Check out this blog post to see my short reviews!
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. 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 the 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. ;)
Follow me on Instagram (@simplysmalltowncounselor) or on LTK (simplysmalltowncounselor) for more outfit inspiration!
