The Must Have Flower with Lasting Power
There is nothing like a vase of fresh flowers! Colorful blooms brighten up any space and if you are living somewhere where it is still snowing in April – The Flowers Bring Hope! Ever Saturday my fam bam takes a trip to Trader Joe’s and I sooo look forward to the trip. My husband focuses on getting the food, I ooh and ahh over the floral section, and our kids secure the snacks! My one and only responsibility is to secure the bouquet (maybe 2 or 3 – if I am willing to sacrifice a snack 😀 )! That is my … Continue reading The Must Have Flower with Lasting Power
Suri Rose Boutique Vintage
Our lives are filled with intersections. Moments where we are going about our journey and we cross paths with another traveler. Many times we have those quick ” hi and bye” chats where we may get a little nugget to help us along the way, but then there are the course altering collisions! I am talking about the good kind – the encounters that cause a shift in your mindset and create beautiful masterpieces. One Saturday in 2017, I was at my local thrift store sourcing for inventory. I didn’t feel extraordinary that day and I was looking a hot … Continue reading Suri Rose Boutique Vintage
Tiered Tank & Skirt Sensation
Today I am featuring a cake topper inspired look that is sweetly listed in my Poshmark Closet! Before entering the gallery, visualize a beautiful woman standing tall on top of buttercream icing as this classic song plays – ” My Girl” … Continue reading Tiered Tank & Skirt Sensation
Kimono Robe, Jean Overalls, & Grilled Cheese
You ever have those wardrobe items that you just wear all the dang time!?! I certainly do & I am not ashamed at all. I am an aspiring minimalist who is proud to not have a personal closet overflowing with clothes. Every time that I am in my closet or folding laundry – I look to see if there is anything that I can sell or giveaway. “Y’all We Need to Streamline” That is the phrase I say non stop in my house. My husband just laughs at me and the kids simply stare at their mother. But for real, … Continue reading Kimono Robe, Jean Overalls, & Grilled Cheese

I don’t know about y’all, but I am ready for Spring! I spent last weekend cleaning out cabinets and closets to bring in the quickly approaching season. Operation streamline & be a wannabe minimalist was in full effect! The winter sweaters have officially gone – BUH BYE – and the spring attire has moved right on in! You might catch me wearing a bright floral sundress and open toed neon shoes – despite lingering snow flurries. Dear Chicago weather – don’t even try it! It is time to Spring Forward!!! C’mon lets jump into the flower blooming season that screams COLOR! … Continue reading Spring Forward Fashion
Super Bowl Sunday Swag
Football season brings flashbacks to my childhood – the traveling, tape watching, and all the fancy perks of being immersed in the world of the National Football League. Now, as an adult, there are three triggers that bring out my inner football fan : The release of Hard Knocks on HBO – to get hype! My husband’s fantasy league draft – to talk trash! Super Bowl Sunday – to eat snacks! 😀 To celebrate the big game I pulled out some official NFL swag – the leather jacket that my Queenie Mommaz used to rock! 🙂 I absolutely loved wearing this … Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday Swag
Put Self Care on the To Do List
It is a priority – period – point blank – end of story. For the past few years I’ve planned an Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party to catch up with my Sorority Sisters that live in the Chicagoland area. This year the numbers were small, but the tugs on my heart were mighty. I am always 110% down to break away from the norm to share how life is really going and not give a canned surface level “Things are Great” response. We talked about our struggles (we all have them), how God is moving, and of course our … Continue reading Put Self Care on the To Do List
