New Week. New Opportunities

Blogging everyday has shown me that this space can be a writing outlet for all of my feels.

If I may…….

This week was some bullsh*t and the election was just a part of it.

There is just too much going on over here between kids activities, running a business, a house, being a good wife, and planning for Thanksgiving, I am wo’ the hell out.

Tomorrow is Monday, a new start. I’m going into the new week with vigor and expectation that the week ahead is going to make up for last week and then some. I’m expecting great things and opportunities.

The thing about my personal growth journey is I can now look at weeks like this and know they happen but they don’t linger. They wreck havoc but peace is on the other side. Life isn’t easy and adulting/parenting can be extreme, but your mindset is what keeps you sane.

Here’s to a new week! I wish you all peace and encouragement to get through

I got this and you do to!

What’s on your to do list this week?

Olivia Palermo | My Style Crush

After nearly getting rid of all of my clothing on a random purge last year, I’m realizing that I need to replace those pieces for the upcoming winter season.

I’m not sure if I’m quite ready for the minimalism of a capsule wardrobe but I am certain I only want classic pieces mixed in with a few very cost effective trendy items.

Classic styles are extremely easy to thrift, and I am planning to stock up on oxfords and blazers from my area Goodwill stores. I’ve really been thinking about my style lately and classic still and will likely always work for me.

One of my favorite classic styled semi celebrity is Olivia Palermo. Yes, I’m still salty about how she did Lauren on the City but I’m moving on…

Here are some of my favorite looks from her.

The beauty in all of these looks are that they are simple yet stylish and fit for a busy mom like myself who doesn’t want to trade style for comfort. In a few days or so I’ll do a thrift haul video of some classic items I hope to find in the coming week at the thrift store.

Who is your style crush?

Open Shelving Inspiration

In preparation for Thanksgiving, I’m attempting to make small changes that make big impacts through out the house. One area that has baffled me for some time when it came to what to do with it was this window. It gives amazing light so I wasn’t interested in curtains. I adore open shelving and thought I might try two open shelves on either side of the window.

Friday night I took a trip to Home Depot to pick up the wood. I decided to go with two feet shelves. I as able to get an 8 foot board and have them make three cuts. The board cost about $10. I’m not sure if they will get a coat of stain or paint. I want to get them up before I make a decision. Hopefully I’ll find time before the end of the weekend to get them up.

When looking for inspiration regarding the finish of the shelves and how to style them I headed over to Pinterest. Here are my favorite inspiration looks.

I’ll update you next week on the progress.

See you tomorrow….cause NaBloPoMo

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

How? How is Thanksgiving right at two weeks away. If you have the luxury of bringing the pie and offering to wash a dish or three afterward, it’s safe to assume you are in chill mode waiting on dressing.

I, on the other hand amlow key freaking out. I’m hosting again and housing family and have done nothing as of yet to prepare.

As luck would have it my stovetop went out. Being an adult can really suck. In addition to waiting on my ordered cooktop to arrive I have to:

Purchase new linens and towels
Make a grocery list and shop
Put up new shelving in kitchen
Paint dining room and possibly purchase a new dining room set
Reserve tables
Take inventory of serving dishes that I need and purchase them
CLEAN THE HO– USE
Catch up on laundry
Pull out Christmas decorations
Making cooking schedule

As you can tell the next two weeks will be very busy. Wish me luck!

Are you hosting thanksgiving? If so are you ready?!
