Jarret and I spent three weeks with our best friends in South Africa!

I’ve always wanted to go and was so happy when we had the opportunity to this past summer.

When I tell you it was MAGICAL - I mean it. I almost can’t even talk about this trip because it was just. that. special. If you’ve been wanting to go or it’s never even been on your radar, I need you to book a ticket there immediately and invite me along. We did SO MUCH and I wanna tell you about it.

So, without further ado, here’s the best things to see and do in South Africa!

This summer has been one of my favorites ever. From having my nephew here with us, to getting married, to spending time with the girl gang, to all the fun activities in-between, it has been chocked full. One of my favorite activities was going to Garden Sweet Farm and picking our own flowers. It’s a great budget-friendly activity that is so much fun for a girls trip, a solo adventure, or some family fun.

Recently, some friends and I were fortunate enough to celebrate the engagement and impending nuptials of our friend Dani! And not just any celebration, a bachelorette trip to Napa Valley!

It was an amazing weekend filled with so much love between friends, more food than we could ever eat, laughter celebrating our wonderful friend before she becomes #landon4life.

Today is my 27th birthday and I am officially unemployed!

Yup I quit my job!

The new year has brought so many changes I almost can’t keep up with all of them. Changing jobs, getting married, planning a wedding (yes in that order), and moving have all come around the same time and to say it’s been stress inducing would be an understatement. 2022 was one of the busiest years yet and filled with so much happiness and positive change.

So… I got married! On accident!

Straight out of a cheesy Hallmark movie or cliche romcom, Jarret and I accidentally became husband and wife.

‘How does this happen?’ one might ask. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA.

But before I get into the part where I was married for a solid 15 seconds and didn't know it, let me tell you a story…

Christmas is right around the corner and if you’re like me, you still have loads of Christmas shopping to do. Now we all know Christmas isn't about stuff and gifts but let’s not pretend we don't spend hours browsing, buying, and agonizing over what gifts to get people - or is that just me? If I’m not the only one struggle bussing on what to get people, then stay tuned for my gift guide

After my breakup post, I felt like the next step was to get back on the market…. the Christmas market I mean.

I LOVE Christmas. It’s my favorite time of year and I went to a couple of vintage Christmas markets to get me into the full holiday swing!

Whether you’re the dumper or dumpee, whether your relationship lasted two weeks or two years, and whether it’s the first or last time - break ups suck. So instead of wallowing in sadness and self-pity (I already did that for a few weeks), I decided to channel this into some fantastic outfits.

Potentially controversial opinion but - summer is my least favorite season. I just plain do not thrive in the heat but it’s my favorite in terms of how many activities there are to do! It’s also so much fun to break out dresses, cutie shorts, and all things light and lace. So here’s 5 of my favorite things to do over the summer (plus some bonus activities) and what you can wear while doing them!

One sister’s visit, another sister’s baby, a grandma’s love, and an unprepared aunt.

Sounds like the start of a bad joke doesn’t it? Well friends, it’s actually a completely accurate description of how life is going currently and we all love it.
