I opened an Etsy shop!!! If you follow along on Instagram, you know last week I teased about some of the “projects” in the works for my husband and I. This week I shared the news about one of those projects - my Etsy shop and brand Grace & Grandeur! If you love bows as much as I do, you should check it out! I am selling luxe handmade velvet bows for ladies and girls!
Read MoreWe got an air fryer!!! My father-in-law sent us our Christmas present early and we are so grateful! We use it almost daily! One of our new favorites for the air fryer is this “skillet” type of meal (all in one… kinda…). It’s great for nights when we are pressed for time and it’s a meal you can prep in advance if you wanted!
Read MoreThis year was the first time since college when I served as an Election Day poll worker. It’s an experience I encourage every American to do at least once. Not only does it provide immense gratitude and pride to live in this great nation but it is amazing to be a part of the process and learn what all takes place to carry out democracy at it’s very essence. Here are my reflections on serving as a poll worker in the 2020 election.

Read MoreThree Trader Joe’s highlights in one week?? I know it’s a lot but they have so many delicious products this time of year!! Last weekend was super busy and I spent the majority of that Sunday on the road so I was exhausted when I made it home and decided to delay the final Soup Sunday in the series by one week. So we’re wrapping up today with a pre-made soup that I love - Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bisque. If you saw my Stories recap about the Trader Joe’s fall haul earlier in the season, you’ll know that this is one of my absolute favorites - I bought 3 jars haha! I topped it with a little grana padano and parsley. The perfect fall lunch - just heat and eat.
Read MoreEver get an idea in your head for a craft project and then put it off forever or start it and then life gets in the way? That’s basically what happened to me when trying to monogram this sweatshirt! I started the design around the first week of October when some family came to visit and then it sat in the office for weeks. I’m boxing up our fall decor as I write this (literally) and we are about to deck the halls for baby Jesus tonight… so talk about last minute, but I really wanted to crank out this adorable pumpkin monogram to wear today so by golly I was up and at it this morning! Cricuting, heat press going and all!! And yes, I called my mother (AKA the Cricuting queen) before 9 am to enlist her expertise. 🤣🎃
Read MoreI’ve rounded up 18 camel coats I’m loving! This is a trend that seems to come and go over recent years but it’s such a classic look, much like a trench jacket, that you really can’t go wrong with investing in one. Last year I bought a cream colored wrap coat since I had so many wedding festivities planned for coat season and I have two other perfectly good coats so I don’t really need one this year but I still love the look and thought a round up post would be super fun for you guys!
Read MoreI love a new Trader Joe’s find!! These Nut Butter Bars are so scrumptious! The mix itself contains nuts so I wasn’t able to share with Darrell, but that just meant more for me!! Haha! I used JIF Peanut Butter and pure maple syrup as the two ingredients needed for the mix.
Read MoreApples!! In a lot of ways they make me think of elementary school..? And this outfit is kind of a grown up take on an outfit I likely wore as a child hahaha. But it’s so cute, comfy, casual and feminine! This scarf was actually a Ross find - $10 for a Tahari reversible blanket scarf! The opposite side is a cute houndstooth print! Sorry I can’t link it because I can’t find it anywhere on the internet, but I’ve linked some similar scarves in the Shop This Post section below. I’ve detailed the rest of my outfit below!
