I can hardly believe that my little baby, the one that made me a mama, our whole world is 4 years old!! Everyone tells you time flies when you have a baby, but you truly never realize how fast it goes till you are in it. It's the weirdest thing to put into words, but the last 4 years have been the longest and fastest years of my entire life. Ones that I could relive over & over. 

Kennedy's personality has always been big! You know exactly what I mean if you have met her. She is outgoing, makes friends with everyone, will talk your ear off, and loves to put on a show! At her little dinner party we threw her a couple nights ago, she gave a speech (all on her own!) where she told everyone "Thank you all for coming, I hope you had a great night, and I love you all!" Every single day she amazes me with how stinkin' cool she is! ....but let's be real, along with all that comes a very, very strong willed little girl that can bring the sass! There is tough, long days mixed in, but that's ok because this girl is knows what she wants!

I would have to say this past year has been my favorite. Everyone warned me that three was going to be hard and honestly I kept waiting for it. I will say it did start out a little rocky but nothing crazy. I think it might be because I started staying home with her the week she turned 3. This year she turned into our little buddy that really went everywhere with us. Her and Tyler had a lot of "daddy, daughter days" as she likes to call it, she went shopping (work/try ons) with me often, we had quite a few Disney trips, and even snuck in one Mommy and Daughter solo trip! That was possibly the highlight of the year for me personally. Those memories will always be some of my favs! 

A couple things I do not want to forget about right now:

*She LOVES LOL dolls and asks for one every single time we go to Target.

*She is baby doll obsessed (and real babies too!) along with her "stuffy animals". She either brings a baby or puppy with us everywhere we go.

*Her favorite songs (which she knows almost all the words) are Florida Georgia Line "meant to be", anything from the trolls soundtrack, and "meet me in the middle"

*She dances any chance she gets and wants everyone to watch!

*She loves "fresh popcorn", strawberries, watermelon, happy meals (mostly for the toys!), chips and salsa, and ice cream (duh)

*I never want to forget her face/excitement when we go to Disneyland! She is a pro at this point and her love runs deep (just like mom!) 

*How her and Tyler will go for Donut runs on the weekend just the two of them

.Mommy + Me Spring Dresses with Walmart.

Kayla 

Dress $15! (size small, runs big go down) || Purse $9!! (comes in  9 other colors) 

Sandals (run tts, between go up) 

Kennedy

Dress (2 pack for $10!) || Jelly Sandals 

Good Morning and Happy Monday! I hope everyone had the best Easter weekend filled with family fun. Ours was jam packed and left us exhausted and with full bellies & hearts! We are lucky enough to have a lot of family in town so most of our weekend was spent bouncing around house to house celebrating. Kennedy is basically a pro Easter Egg hunter at this point, lol! Tyler even got to dress up as the bunny for one of the parties! It was a great time.

Now that the temps are heating up, I know a lot of you have dresses on your shopping list. Today I wanted to show you a fun mommy and me option from Walmart! I mentioned in my last post (here) that I am teaming up with them for their #WeDressAmerica campaign and it's been so much fun putting together these affordable, on trend outfits. Their options are endless and I love that I keep finding cute pieces for me and the whole family! I've been finding myself on their site daily shopping their selections because I can't get enough!

I could not wait to try this dress! The sleeves and the fit of it seemed like it was going to be right up my alley. Just like everything else I have been sharing, it did not disappoint! The fit is perfection for the warmer months because it doesn't hug, also, it's crazy comfortable. Another great thing about it, is it can for sure be dressed up for the office or spring activities such as wedding/bridal showers. 

I of course styled it with my white sandals that I am LOVING! I think if you're keeping it casual it would look great with a denim jacket layered over it as well. You could easily swap them out for a wedge  (these have great reviews!) or heel to bring of the fancy factor a notch! The one thing I will mention, it does run big. I think I could have done an xsmall, so make sure to size down!

I always love a good tote I can throw everything in, but that's still cute! This one basically jumped in my cart online because it seemed too good to be true ;) Wait till you hear the price tag... $9?!? Yep, you read that right! It also comes in 9 colors total. I went with the lilac color because it was different than anything I owned and would be perfect for the warmer months. The quality is amazing! I used it today because we were gone all day for Easter and I needed to bring a change of clothes for Kennedy and extra odds & ends you need when having a toddler, lol. It really makes a great option if you don't want to bring a diaper bag or even if you work in an office and bring your laptop and extra items along! 

Kennedy's precious dress was the second one that came in the two pack I shared in my last post. I can't get enough of these dresses because they are practical and the prints are darling! They even have pockets, and what girl doesn't love that! Her exact one is flying, but under the same link there is a new blue option that is adorable!! So cute in fact, I already ordered them for Kennedy. You really can't beat 2 cute dresses for $10!! 

For sizing-I'd say they run tts.

Just a reminder that Walmart offers free in store pick up and FREE 2 day shipping over $35! Both times I have ordered I got my items in one day!

.Spring Fashion With Walmart: Florals.

Kimono $14! // Black Jeggings $17! (wearing a 6, size up one) 

Tank $5!(wearing a small) // Sandals (run tts, between go up) 

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I am so excited to share today's post with you guys. I have partnered with Walmart for their #WeDressAmerica campaign and I'll be sharing two spring looks. What I love about this campaign is that Walmart is showing whoever you are and wherever you're from, they have fashion for all!!

 For most of my life I have been shopping at Walmart for household items and everyday essentials, but as of lately their clothing section has been catching my eye! Every time I'm in store, I somehow find myself in either the women's section or the toddler section for Kennedy. They even have some great men's items. They have become a shopping destination for the entire family!

I'm always looking for affordable, on trend pieces to share with you ladies, but never wanting to sacrifice quality. Everything that I am sharing today I promise is both of those. I can say with confidence that Walmart has become a new favorite shopping spot!

This Kimono was the first thing that caught my eye! I love the boho + floral mix and the fact that it's only $14! You can style with jeans or shorts for spring. I paired it with these jeggings that are so incredible! They fit like a glove (size up one) and are only $17! They come in a couple washes and I am really tempted to grab the dark wash. If you work in a business casual office, I think these would even work for that! I also love this tank that I layered under the kimono. In fact, I loved it so much I also grabbed it in the striped option! It comes in at $5!! Which if you're keeping track, you can grab all three pieces for

 under $40!! 

My favorite part of this entire look is the sandals! The quality is insane. They rival some of my favorite designer sandals. I'm also loving the white because they will pair with just about everything for spring + summer. They could also be dressed up, which makes them an excellent option for traveling! They are available in 4 color options too. The bottom is made of a really soft cushion, so they are extremely comfortable! 

I do want to say to that if you're more of a heel or wedge girl, I found these designer dupe option that have great reviews are only $19! They would look equally as cute with this outfit. 

Shop all the items from the post:

Look #2 Mommy + Me: 

Kayla: blouse $18 // blush bag $14

Shorts $13 (run tts)  // Sandals $28 (size up 1/2 size) 

Kennedy: Dress (comes in a 2 pack for $10) // Jelly Sandals (on sale for $1?!)

I have to start with the shorts because I was literally blown away when I got them! They are hands down the best denim shorts I have tried all year. Which is mind boggling since they ring in at $13!! In fact, I loved them so much I turned around and ordered the white! The denim ones run tts, I did my normal size 4 and they fit perfectly. They have great length, so you don't have to worry about anything hanging out and they are insanely comfortable! If I didn't know the price, I would have guessed they were three times the amount for the quality!

I also adore this floral blouse! It can be worn like this or open like a jacket. It comes with the little tank under it too. I thought the swiss dot & floral print was such a pretty mix for spring. It also comes in three other color options. 

Let's not forget the accessories too! This blush bag was one of the first items I purchased. I am digging the circular style which is on trend and the blush goes with everything. It's the perfect spring bag. These sandals are another great find! These are just like the white ones being that they are extremely comfortable! I would suggest sizing up 1/2 a size as these ones ran a little small. They are styled here in the rose gold, but there is 6 color options available online. 

I wish Kennedy's darling little dress came in my size! We went to brunch after these photos were shot and she got so many compliments. It comes in a two pack and is available in two color options. Her's came with an adorable floral one that you will be seeing soon. I do layer these bike shorts under. Her jelly shoes are ones that we purchase year after year because they are so easy and go with everything! They are also on sale for $1 online!! They do run a little big, so we sized down one from her normal size.

I hope you girls love these outfits! I do want to mention too, that Walmart offers free 2 day shipping over $35+ and I even got most my items in one day!!!

.February Top 10.

Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm so excited about today's post because it's all about what you ladies were loving & shopping in February. Most of these items are my absolute favorites too! It was a fun month because spring pieces were included. Which makes me so excited for the warmer months to get here. I'd love to know which items you bought and loved; make sure to come comment on Instagram {here}. 

10} Black MAGIC JEANS

Outfit Deets:

Black Magic Jeans {on sale for $25} // Denim Jacket {wearing small}

Swiss Dot Top {wearing small, on sale for $17} blue version here

Hair Bow // Flats {run tts} available here & here

From the moment I started sharing these jeans (and the denim version) they have remained on the top seller list. Month after month, I received messages from you ladies saying how much you LOVE them! Which makes me incredibly happy because month after month they remain favorites in my wardrobe! They run tts, between go down. I do want to point out that the black are ankle length so if you're taller (I'm 5'5 1/2) you might want to order the 'tall' option.

9} Slip On Sneakers 

outfit deets:

Kayla // Tunic Tee {runs oversized, wearing sm} on sale for $13!!

Jeans {run tts} 50% OFF! // Sneakers {most COMFORTABLE! runs tts} Under $50!

Sunnies {prime find, $14!} // Leopard Flats // Blush Slides 

Kennedy // Graphic Tee {I sized up for her, 30% OFF} // Bow {prime find} 

Jeggings {only $9! My fav for her!} // Jelly Sandals

I can say without a doubt that these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! They feel like you are walking on clouds/memory foam! I have been wearing them non-stop. The color says 'beige' online, but they are a grey. I love the color because they go with everything! The perfect spring/summer shoe! Also, the perfect #momiform addition!! 

Side note, both of our tops are an additional 30% OFF {no code needed} when you add to cart! Both are extremely soft & great basics!! 

8} Pink Amazon Henley

outfit deets:

Kayla // Pink Henley {wearing medium} // Black Magic Jeans

Flats {run tts} available here & here// Sunnies 

Kennedy // Floral Tee // Jeggings {only $9! My fav for her!} 

Jelly Sandals // Bow {prime find} 

This month I went out on a limb and shared more amazon pieces than I normally do! You girls obviously loved it because 3 of them ended up being top sellers! This henley was an exciting find because it's a different twist on the popular waffle knit trend. The fabric is a little different {more stretchy} if that makes sense?! I fell in love with the pink, but it does come in other colors too. I think it runs a little more fitted so I went with the medium. 

Speaking of amazon finds, Kennedy's bows are in my top 5 finds ever!! They are the 6 inch {we also have the 4.5} and come in a 15 pack for $11 + free prime one day shipping!! It comes with every color you'll ever need. They are great quality too. We also have this pigtail set  and it comes with 20 color sets.

7} Long Cardigan 

outfit deets:

Cardigan {wearing small} on sale for $24 today 

Chambray Blouse {wearing medium}

Jeans {run tts, 25% OFF} //  Sunnies 

Kitten Heels  {25% OFF! run tts, also come in black}

I have mentioned that I started a running list of items I want to add to my wardrobe. I started this so I could have a more functional wardrobe. Aka I don't like standing in front of my closet thinking "I have nothing to wear"! Well one of those items was a neutral, lightweight cardigan for spring/summer. I hit the jackpot when I found this one! It's a great year round piece for us Southern California girls because you can layer it. I'm also picturing it styled over a tank with shorts and sandals for summer! It's an absolute closet staple.

6} Amazon Black Over sized Tee

outfit deets:

Black Tee {wearing medium} // Monogrammed Purse

Jeans {runs tts, between go down} 50% OFF!

Blush Flats {run tts} // Bralette  {comes in 14 colors}

This top was another amazon find that I was pleasantly surprised by!

It comes in 19 colors total. I went with black because you can never go wrong. I also went with black because its easy to dress up too. I do have my eye on the pink though {no surprise there, lol}. I have it pulled off the shoulder, but you don't have to wear it like that if you don't want to. The material is like a mix between a cotton tee + a lightweight pullover.

For sizing- I'm wearing the medium. I would suggest going up if you're between. 

5} $8 Target V-Neck Tees

outfit deets:

$8 V-neck Tee {wearing medium} // Jeans {run tts, 25% OFF}

Slip On Sneakers {run tts} under $50!

Velvet Bow Scrunchies {pack of 6} Only $7

I mostly showed this tee in the rose color, but somehow didn't have a picture of me in it! I loved it so much I ended up buying the white as well. Truthfully, I could buy all the colors {there's 13 total}! If you are a fan of the madewell whisper tees, these are very similar! They are super soft, don't cling and the white isn't see thru!!

4} Denim Distressed MAGIC JEANS 

outfit deets:

Denim Magic Jeans {run tts} On sale for $25 today!

Striped Tie Tee {wearing medium} // Blush Jacket {wearing small} on sale for $30

Blush Jacket // Flats {run tts} available here & here

Leopard Sweater {wearing sm/medium}

Every month I expect these jeans to drop out of the top 10, but it doesn't happen! They were the number one spot for 5 months in a row. If you're new, I dubbed these jeans the "magic jeans" because of the amazing, magic like fit! They don't have a zipper/button, but pull on like legging and suck everything in! I'm not kidding!! Postpartum moms these will be your bestie! If you haven't tried them, do yourself a favor and order them asap! They are currently on sale for $25.

3} $8 Camo Tee

outfit deets:

$8 Camo Tee {wearing medium for oversized look, runs tts}

Jeans {run tts} My current FAV! 50% OFF

Cardigan {wearing small} $24 // Mules {size up 1/2 size} 30% OFF

I had a feeling you girls were going to LOVE this tee! How could you pass up that price tag?! Plus camo is a no-brainer ;) I sized up to a medium so I could knot it. It runs tts and for some reason I personally think the camo runs bigger than the solids. So if you don't plan to knot, I would stick with the smaller of the two sizes if you're between.

2} Distressed White Jeans 

outfit deets:

Distressed White Jeans {run tts, lots of stretch!} 25% OFF

Denim Jacket {wearing small} //  Mules {size up 1/2 size} 30% OFF

 Tunic Tee {runs oversized, wearing sm} on sale for $13!!

Chambray Blouse {wearing medium} // Blush Jacket {wearing xsmall}

Striped Flats {run tts} only $22! // Leather Jacket {wearing small}

Leopard Flats {run tts} available here & here

If you're looking for the perfect white jeans, I found them!! I styled these many, many times this month. When I ordered these, I honestly didn't think I would love them as much as I do. Good white jeans are very hard to find. These ones are not see thru at all, have the perfect amount of stretch and run tts. I personally adore all the distressing detailing, especially around the ankles! They are 25% OFF today too...yay!!!

1} Velvet Bow Scrunchies 

outfit deets:

Kayla // Swiss Dot Top {wearing small} 

Velvet Bow Scrunchies {pack of 6} Only $7

Jeans {run tts} My current FAV! 50% OFF

Slip On Sneakers {run tts} under $50!

Kennedy // Peplum Top {runs tts}

 Jeggings {only $9! My fav for her!} 

Blush Flats {run tts} come in red too

The number one item you girls shopped this month were my bow scrunchies!! I was shocked and not at the same time! I love that you girls are loving these as much as I am. I have pretty much had one of these bows in mine & Kennedy's hair all month long! They come in a 6 pack and are only $7 + free prime shipping. They have wire in the bow so you can manipulate the bow to your liking! 

Thank you again for being SO amazing! I wake up thankful every single day that I get to hang out and, shop and get to know all of you ladies in this community we built. It goes so much deeper than clothes. I hope you all know how much I appreciate you. I can't wait to see what great deals we find this month :)

.Old Navy Pre-Spring Try On.

Happy Sunday, ladies!! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend...hopefully a three day one! I had such a great response to the Old Navy Try-On yesterday that I decided to throw together a blog post where you could shop everything in one place. They increased the discount today and now everything is 30% OFF (with a couple exclusions, of course)!!

The most asked questions I got yesterday were about my accessories! You can find my leopard flats here! They run tts and I seriously reach for them every single day. I purchased them at the very end of last year and wish I wouldn't have waited so long! They were a little tight in the toe area when I tried them on, but stretched to form the perfect fit within one wear. I tried a 1/2 size up and they were wayyy too big, I could tell they were going to slip.

The other main questions I got were, where are my earrings from? You can find them here and they are actually 50% OFF making them only $14 with the code: WANT (thru tonight at 4:59ET). I love the size of them, but if you like bigger statement earrings, they also make these that are gorgeous! Also, 50% OFF! 

Lastly, you all wanted to know where my bracelets were from! They are both amazon prime finds & BEST sellers this month! They are spot on dupes for the real deal and both under $20, so you really can't beat it. I will link the cuff version here and the chain one here. You can see more details of them up close on my 'Amazon' highlight over on Instagram.
