TOP (size up) / SKIRT / BOOTIES (LOVE THESE!!) / WALLET / SUNGLASSES 

Do these booties not make your legs look SO long??  You’ve gotta have these babies for Fall.  HUGE HUGE staple.  They come in tan, and I’m eye balling the shit outta those.  It’s an investment, but I will tell you that I don’t blow my money on dumb shit…. (saying shit a lot today haha)  No really, I don’t.  I’ve been there and done that.  I really take the time to think about what I’m spending on.  I guess that happens with age, right? 🙂 

I love spending a little more on shoes, because you can wear the same pair of shoes with multiple outfits, verses spending $100 on a top.  And they’re harder the wear down verses a top, because when you wash tops sometimes they change (annoying right)… so the shoes are my thing.  If it’s a olive, tan, black or grey pair bootie, you’re set for the whole season including Winter.    Fall fashion is my favorite!!  I love spending on staples during this time because they’re always the best and versatile.

If you haven’t noticed, I’m not really a bag girl…. I just don’t see the point in blowing $$$ on bags.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bag, but thats not the first thing on my mind when I want to splurge on something.  Boots are on my mind, and my new thing… rugs & plants :).  Again, I guess that happens with age? haha.  Now I’m rambling, but you guys get me.  Take the time to think if you really want it and don’t blow money on things that are versatile & statement pieces.  Spend money on things that are, and spend less on things that you won’t wear often.   

Have a good day!  Headed to work on my new meal plan for you guys!

TOP / JEANS / HEELS / SUNGLASSES 

We all know when it’s time for a break, a release from motherhood, you time, girls night, or at least I know the signal that rings “GET OUT” haha.    Whenever I’m starting to feel slightly like I’m going to lose my mind, and my patience runs thin, or I raise my voice at Oaks (which I feel bad for always)  I KNOW it’s time for a break.  By break I mean, alone time from it, getting away for even an hour.  Something that makes you feel like you again.  Don’t lose yourself in this motherhood “game”.  You gotta take care of you.  If you don’t take care of you, you will start to see a pattern of anger, annoyance, irritability etc… I know this because I’ve dealt with it a lot.  Sometimes I feel guilty of wanting a break.  But you gotta do it. 

Guess what? It makes us a better mom, and then we can ACTUALLY live in the moment and ENJOY it.  Not looking at the clock like “ugh I’ve only been playing with him for 10 mins” haha.  You know what I mean.  Motherhood is so exhausting.  Here are some things I do that keep me SANE, and more calm and ready to TAKE ON MOTHERHOOD every day.  Find a babysitter and do it for yourself.

  1. Go out & chat with a friend, or family member- someone who makes you feel better, and makes you feel like you again.  
  2. Gym time- I like to mix up my routine.  I don’t always love working out from home.  Breaking away & getting into a different environment helps me feel human and normal in society haha.
  3. Go to Starbucks and read a book.  I always like to read something that motivates me to do better, and self improvement books.  A book that has changed my life is “THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK” & “THE WAR OF ART“. Or I will just go on my computer and get work done. 
  4. Sister time- my sister is my best friend and soulmate haha.  I can’t live without her.  She inspires me to be a better person.  She is an amazing person and I’m so grateful to have such a positive soul in my life!  
  5. Go shopping- even if its grocery shopping!  But do it by yourself!

Take time for yourself!  Be nice to yourself, and be a little selfish from time to time.  Because it really helps us to NOT be selfish when it comes to our kiddos.  What do you moms do to break away everyday?  Please share!

 

 

Have a great day!
