Today I’m sharing a day in the life post and this could not be a more random Wednesday to write about! Sharing what goes on around here in a given day for the most part – we are preparing for a garage sale this weekend, so I spent a decent amount of time getting some things done for that and also I cleaned our pool for nearly two hours, so that chewed up most of my day! Hope you enjoy reading along!

It’s Tip Jar Tuesday and today, I’m sharing something so obvious, but something I have learned to perfect. I cannot tell you the countless dollars I’ve spent on clothing that did not fit me right (whether too big or too small), did not flatter my figure, patterns that were way too over the top and styles I tried to duplicate because a celebrity wore it so “I can try to pull that off”.
Believe it or not, I feel like it has taken until the past couple years to accept the fact that I am SHORT! I’m 5’2 and I recall times where clothes I would try on with my average and above average height girlfriends, just weren’t the same on me! I needed to stop thinking there were other factors to perhaps why the outfit did not look as good on me – it’s simply because I was smaller!

Yesterday we officially celebrated Audrey and Tommy’s birthdays! Audrey has been requesting a unicorn party – so we tried our best to make that happen! For Tommy, we did a Wild “One” theme and I honestly kept it VERY simple and super cost effective!
I know I have mentioned before that I have hoarder tendencies when it comes to party decorations. I throw any decor that is clean and able to be stored into bins in the basement for future use. When it’s party time, I shop those bins to find things/take inventory that could be used for the party before heading out to buy anything new!

Happy Friday! We all survived the first week back at school! Our routine has been working out great, and honestly should have been something we were doing ALL. SUMMER. LONG! Who am I kidding, we loved the late nights and sleeping in, but having this structure has been really good for all of us!
As always, sharing my favorites from this week! We have Audrey and baby T’s birthday party this weekend and of course, I am not ready whatsoever, but it is going to be a small get together, so it won’t be anything too over the top anyway!

Happy Tuesday! I already know, this week is going to FLY! School starts tomorrow and I have a bunch of errands to wrap up to make sure everything is in order!
Later this week I plan to get out my fall decor and decorate the house, but to get a jump start, I decided to start with my coffee stand!
I have so much fun changing up the decor on my coffee stand every month! To kick off Fall, I swapped out my summer decor with yellow and red fall vibes! Again, I like to inexpensively switch out this decor and subbing in seasonal vibes around a few standard pieces that are there always!! The Dollar Tree has AMAZING little items to help give you the vibe you are looking for!

Good morning and happy Thursday! It’s Thrifty Thursday, and today I am sharing a little DIY project with a garage sale frame I found a month ago!
I picked up this picture frame for $2 at a garage sale – pretty sure it was brand new, and what I loved about it was that it was a neat size, there were three frames (obviously one spot for each kiddo) and it was in black and white – matching the color scheme of our living room!

Good morning everyone – and happy September! I do LOVE September and fall vibes so much, but I am so so sad to see summer come to a close! I will start pulling out the fall decor after Labor Day – which will work perfect because if I’m honest, we are still unpacking from vacation!!!
Speaking of vacation – Audrey has been on one basically since March (well we all have, but she had school to report to) so picking back up on a routine will be huge and also our budgeting goals had gone on vacation too. COVID really threw a wrench in things and I’m ready to get back to normalcy!
Today, I thought I would share some ways on how I plan on getting back into a routine and a little budgeting challenge I plan to follow all month.

Instead of doing Tip Jar Tuesday today, I’m doing a birthday tribute to baby Tom Tom who just turned ONE! How did he just turn ONE?! Honestly, time is just flying by and I wish it would slow down already!
Happy Monday! We returned home from our vacation and wow, is there a lot to get organized today! We had an amazing vacation, while tiring vacationing with three little kiddos, we are sad see another trip and summer come to a close.
