1. I put the scale away. Don't get me wrong, I'm still working out regularly and watching my portions and sugar intake, but I'm not letting myself feel discouraged in the midst of building healthy habits. It's just not helpful and it's not about the number anyway.

2. Josh and I organized and decluttered the house. Is it weird that this really improves my mood while working from home??

3. I responded (ok tried to) to emails/texts faster. I'm the type who, if I don't know the answer or the best way to respond, I'll let it sit for a while and mildly stress me out until it's either too awkward to respond or I respond way late. I'm working on just responding quickly, even if it's imperfect. 

Do you struggle with any of these things??

I've never been a huge fan of new years resolution I've never been a huge fan of new years resolutions. My thinking has typically been, "If you want to change for the better, just start." But I will say, this year I want to do better at always seeing the bright side and the opportunity - of taking responsibility. I have a tendency to play the victim when things don't go my way or if my goals are more difficult than I expected. This year, I want to joyfully and patiently work towards my goals as well as enjoy the moments of rest in between. I also want to give more of myself and my resources: to my family, to our church family, and to those in need. 

What's a goal of yours for 2021?

"She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.  She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.  She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.  She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.  She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.  She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.  She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet."

Proverbs 31:15‭-‬21 ESV

How often do you let your kids in to what it's lik How often do you let your kids in to what it's like to manage life as an adult? To work, budget, to eat healthy not because you have to but because you want to, to give to others, to spend time in the word, to forgive even when we don't feel like it...

I think it's so important to model and help our kids see the every day choices that are not always easy but make a huge difference in the long run. Ie. eating out less = more $$ in the bank to buy meals for the homeless or to bring a child in who need a home. Josh and I don't always feel like cooking, but it's easier when we remember we're working towards greater things ❤️

Stitch Fix: How I’m Wearing my Spring Fix

This post is sponsored by Stitch Fix however all opinions are my very own.

I’ll be honest, I love all the seasons, but spring and summer is my ultimate favorite when it comes to dressing up. That’s when I feel like I have the most freedom when it comes to my wardrobe and when I feel the most comfortable in what I’m wearing.

I love shopping for clothes but since I split most of my time between work and being with my babies, and I don’t want to spend any more time on my phone than I need to (and bringing the kids into a dressing room is just asking to get seen naked by the entire store).

That being that case, a few months ago I signed up to try Stitch Fix for the first time! Right off the bat, I was super impressed with the items I received. There was a mix of brands that I already knew and loved and some I had never heard of before. Every item fit PERFECTLY thanks to their thorough styling quiz.

I also loved how easy it was to return the items I chose not to keep in their prepaid envelope. I don’t even need to wait in line at the post office to mail it back. I call that a huge win!

Here, I wanted to show you all what I received in my May Fix and how I’m choosing to style it!

The overalls

While taking photos, Josh told me that this was his favorite piece that came out of this month’s Fix And I totally get it.

These overalls are deep navy blue, they’re soft, and super versatile! Now, being honest, this is not a piece I would have ever picked out myself. That said, I love the way they look and feel on and after having tried them on, I’m definitely considering keeping them.

The peasant top

You got a sneak peak at this top underneath the overalls above. For me, this top of a definite keeper.

The material feels almost like a silky linen. I love the subtle stripes and the ties at the neck. This top is super easy to throw on and go which is why it’s so easy to add to my closet – I don’t always have the extra time to plan out a new outfit!

I also think this top dresses either up or down well, so I see it getting a lot of use.

The backpack

I was so surprised when I pulled out this Dagne Dover backpack! Josh and I actually have this exact backpack in black that I gifted myself for Christmas a couple years ago 🤗.

This backpack is QUALITY. I love the neoprene material because it holds up really well, looks amazing, and keeps everything we need safe and dry. Not to mention this massive color is super pretty and can go with a ton of different outfits. This is a definite keeper

The feather and flow top

While I like the look of this top and love the little details like the eyelets in the front, I don’t usually wear tops that have elastic in the waist.

But that’s the best thing about Stitch Fix! If you don’t feel like something is 100% your style, sending it back is as easy as dropping it off in the post office mailbox. No harm done. Which is such a great deal for me because I’m horrible at making returns because I never have time to get back to the store!

Overall, this top is very cute, just not for me. It’s going to be making its way back to the Stitch Fix fam.

The Tickled in Tassels dress

I loved this dress from the moment I pulled it out of the box. I was so impressed by the details.

The embroidery is real stitching, the rope neckline is really cute, and the tassels at the bottom really make the whole dress.

This dress would look great both with a cardigan or standalone with a pretty heel.

What did you think of my May Fix? What items would you have kept for yourself?

One it the things I love about Stitch Fix is the fact that the price of each monthly fix, $20, gets credited to my account for the clothes I chose to keep. Not only that, but I can refer friends and family to try Stitch Fix and I can get even more credit towards future fixes 🙌 It’s really easy to do and who doesn’t want free clothes??

Sign up here and try your very first Fix the next month! I’d love to hear how your experience is an which items you keep! Anyone who schedules their first Fix through your link will receive a $25 credit

  • So I know the title of this post says, “What men want most in a wife,” but to be more realistic, this is about what men need most in a wife. Like men, there are a lot of things that we (women) would really like in a husband. Like, it’d be a huge plus if he looked like Chris Hemsworth. But that’s not really what we need in order to have a positive relationship with our spouse. If we married him, we probably think he’s pretty cute, anyway.
