The looks of the week on Instagram 2.8.19
I have been on the struggle bus all week. Just not full of energy like I usually am and lacking on pretty much every subject. I have so much to get done but not the energy to do it. Even my planner is lonely lol. I need to get it together because we have a crazy fun filled weekend coming up tomorrow and so much needs to be done.
After losing my Instagram last weekend it has taken me a bit to get refocused on my plans but I am going to get there. I just got tickets to Rachel Hollis seminar when she is coming to Cedar Rapids in April so that kind of woke me back up for a bit. Last night on the way to Kyle’s I was listening to Joel Osteen talk about how much you want something, how big is your desire. Well mine is huge so I need to get back at it. How do you recover from a temporary shortfall?
Love this look, top and chambray top is both true to size, black high waisted jeans go up one size.
Hard to see but light pink stripes running thru this top, go up one size, jeans fit true to size.
This pink heart top is so cute, paired with this skirt, both fit true to size or go down one size in the top if in between sizes.
Super soft shirt on crazy sale lately, fits true to size. Paired with built in warm jeans that I love.
Classic pink sweater, v neck fitting true to size paired with high waisted comfy jeans, also tts.

Looks of the Week on Instagram 2.1.19
Well, its been a week. A week of staying inside playing sight word bingo, legos, pretend and baking. Let me tell you I need a break from the baking. Not helping my summer body lol. Speaking of summer bodies there is stories already stocking swimming suits. Personally I have been loving all the cute wedges I have been seeing but want to wait a little bit closer to the season in case items sell out. Whats the point of grabbing them now if you can’t get them later right?
So instead we will focus on what were the big hits this week and some of them were on major sale. I hope you check out my old navy highlights in my stories. Some of those items are 7 dollars, so crazy. Here were your favorites of the week.
Such a comfy outfit, on sale all week, size small in both pieces. Both pieces are cute enough to go out in, pair the top with jeans and the bottoms are perfect for errands.
Such a cozy top, so soft and warm, can pair with jeans or just with joggers. Both of these are size small. Put a cami or bralette with the top, otherwise it is a bit too cool for winter weather. A cardigan would also work.
Such comfy pants, Love the fit and how they look. This relaxed tee is super soft, both size small. These pants are so comfy, love the color.
Super cute pants, this tie waist is too cute. The shirt is cropped so I would definitely pair high waisted pants with it. Top is xs and bottoms are small. Perfect for a gala or fancy night out in winter weather.
Comfy cozy hoodie that is tunic length, perfect for leggings or these built in warm jeans, jeans fit true to size and top in small.

5 things to do on Snow Days indoors- easy and fun
Being locked inside doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I kind of enjoy the snow days of school. If you have been living in the Midwest you are use to having a least one day inside during the winter months with kids instead of at school. Lately we have been having a lot more of these and I thought I would share how we keep busy and sane during snow days. So here is a list of 5 things to do on snow days indoors.
Big tasks
Besides being busy doing odds and ends around the house we have been able to tackle some rather large and daunting tasks while locked inside. I love to save some large projects on days like this to get a major overall done. Cleaning out a closet can be too much on the weekends especially when you have tons of kids events so this is a good time to lock those in. So first thing is to clean out a closet or an entire room of one of my kids with them helping. Ok, maybe they don’t help but they do engage with all the items being tossed around. They help decide what stays and what goes. It makes it easier to see what will fit them and what needs to be donated when they are around to try it on.
Baking
Baking is something both of the kids love to do and it is something that during the week locked inside we have the time to do. They can both make something and are under no time constraints so the process goes so much easier. Also you can do something simple like a cake mix you have on hand. Add food coloring in separate bowls and make rainbow cupcakes. You can make jello jigglers and have them cut out shapes. Also can be done with rice krispies and cookie cutters. Just an easy fun food project gets them busy and they are happy creating something they get to eat.
Crafts
Who doesn’t have that random box of crafts laying around that the kids never seem to play with. The random loom kit, lego box that never was done, the big box of crayons and markers that were put aside. Time to grab all of these and put out on the table. My little guy loves playdo but I hate to clean it up. So this is the perfect time to pull it out and let them play all day. You would be surprised at how these discarded items will be put to work making all sorts of new projects. For coloring have them make Valentines for their class or cards for their friends. Brackets for the family members or new pot holders for nana. There are so many ideas put away for a rainy/snowy day.
Pretend
Saving the best for last. My kids love playing pretend. From beauty parlor to grocery store to doctors office my kids love to dress the part. They act out all the parts. Both kids style my hair done and get the best makeup job from Piper. Will loves to give everyone check ups and make sure we are all up on our shots. They have a check out register and they go shopping in the kitchen and buy their groceries. The land of make believe is rich at our house.
Games
Who doesn’t have a stack of board games in their closet? Puzzles gathering dust and hungry hippos that haven’t been feed in months. Time to break these out and remember how much fun they are and if you don’t its time to stock up on some classics. I just added to our collection sight word bingo and I can’t wait to try it out.
It is a fun day when they have lots to entertain them and when you play along, you make memories for a lifetime. Keeping kids busy during snow days can be a magical time that you don’t always seem to find during the weekend. Make sure to take advantage of it.
