Instagram post 2275075465410538093_29309937 Quarantine day... who knows?! Is it still March? 🤷🏼‍♀️ When the day is warm enough to get out and ride bikes and do a stroller walk it’s a major win! Anything to break up the day, right? Hopping in the car to get take out and I’m like, so excited! 🤣 . . . #quarantinelife #quarantine #getmeouttahere #familystroll #vitamind #myfamily #followmystory #onedayatatime #takeout
Instagram post 2273781313901402008_29309937 Anyone else getting in the car and taking a drive for a change of scenery these days? We decided to go on a long drive and check out some pretty houses that @zillow is always emailing us. I mean, it was something to do! Told the kids it was a field trip and we’d stop and have dinner somewhere. Dinner consisted of @wendys in the parking lot! 🍔🍟🥤My husband and I were just saying; can you believe this? How ridiculous that we are eating in a parking lot? 😭 . Colton’s smiley face and happy demeanor remains a bright spot in this whole thing. He has no idea we are quarantining, he’s just living his best life sitting on my lap in the car eating chicken nuggets! 😍 . I’m trying to stay positive in all of this. Tell me, what was the bright spot in your day today? ☀️ I think it helps to think of something positive vs focus on all the negatives... . . . #stayingpositive #quarantine #quarantinelife #drivethru #wendys #familydate #cardate #perspective #coltonjames #babyboy #motherandson #thinkpositively #momblogger #momlife
Instagram post 2272058883738637248_29309937 Barely getting out of pajamas these days, so I thought I’d share the looks I’ve been getting in my @bananarepublic #passport subscription this month. My sister-in-law @sweetlittlelakehouse gifted me this subscription so I could rent cute outfit pieces for my b-day trip to NYC (thanks Jenny!), which unfortunately got cancelled. 😭 It’s a monthly subscription to rent their clothes for $89/mo. This makes so much sense if you’re in need of fancier, one-time wear outfits for trips/special occasions, or suits and work wear for work conferences. . Since everything is closed, I’m basically having pieces shipped to me, trying them on and shipping back. Thankfully Banana is giving me credit for next month’s subscription since I can’t wear anything now. . Swipe to see the tops/pants I’ve rented so far... For size reference, these sweaters are larges, so I do think their tops run a little small. . In the second pic I’m wearing my fave piece so far, this ultra soft chambray shirt that is cute buttoned up with black jeans, or worn open with a tank and leggings. Great #quarantinestyle! . Wasn’t a fan of the XOXO top with jeans because it was thin and cropped, but I did love this cute fuchsia cardigan. These sweaters would be super cute with a wide leg black work pant, or a skinny black trouser. . Lastly, I hated these cargo pants, ha! They were too long and did nothing for me. Would look best worn with a fitted body suit. A loose top & loose bottom isn’t flattering. And I’m re-affirmed that I’m not a peasant top kinda girl! 😆 . I’m awaiting my new pieces and will share what I get next! Lots of spring styles added weekly, hoping I can wear some of these styles out & about soon! 🌸🌺🌼 . . . #bananarepublic #subscriptionbox #fashionsubscription #breps #stylemom #fashionmom #mommychic #sophisticatedstyle #workwearstyle #bananarepublicstyle #instastyle #fashionhitsandmisses

I’m sure Pisces everywhere are spiraling just like me, lol! 🤣 Swipe to see my NYC travel outfit that I didn’t get to wear, and my alter-ego sipping wine & reflecting! 🙊 . Check out “Thoughts On Turning 40 In Quarantine...” link in bio!

Instagram post 2267966267434547378_29309937 ✨Transformation Completed ✨ Monday was my final weigh in after an 8-week transformation challenge at @orangetheoryavon. The challenge began on 1/16/20, but I technically started my weight loss plan January 1st. I’m feeling so proud of myself, as I’m officially down 20 lbs and my body fat dropped 5.3 percentage points!! I was actually in the ‘obese’ range in body fat % at the beginning (🙄 I know), and I’m thrilled to have moved from obese, to ‘high’, to now the ‘healthy’ range in the last 8 weeks! 🙌🏻 . Swipe to see my before pictures... this was me on 1/16, and I had already lost 5 lbs by this point! Then swipe to see where I was a year ago, 40 weeks pregnant with Colton! What a difference a year makes. It’s truly amazing what our bodies can do as women. . Losing weight is so much about diet. I had plateaued at 12-15 lbs to pre-baby weight and I knew I needed to make real changes to my diet. Started @ww on Jan 1st and have followed my plan faithfully. I haven’t been perfect; I’ve enjoyed wine, eaten out and blown my points out of the water on some days 😆, but each day is a new day and a clean slate on #WW and that’s what I love about it. I hit up #orangetheory 4x a week and made a point to push myself harder on the treadmill and hit faster paces. I challenged myself on the weight floor by lifting heavier weight to burn that stubborn body fat that is so hard to lose. 💪🏻 . I had a goal to look & feel my best when I turn 40!! 😱 Feeling so accomplished and definitely plan to keep this up, because it really feels good to get dressed and not hate 80% of what you put on, haha! . If you have any questions about WW or #orangetheoryfitness let me know! I’m not an ambassador of either, just sharing what worked for me! Has anyone had weight loss success using WW or #OTF, or both?! What’s working for you? I’d love to hear! . . . #myww #weightlossjourney #otftransformationchallenge #fitand40 #fitnessgirl #challengeaccepted #fitmom #healthylifestyle #workinonmyfitness
Instagram post 2266473395782724241_29309937 In other news... Colton finally had his first bite of birthday cake 🎂 — a week and a half late! He wouldn’t eat his cake during his bday party 🎈 on the 6th because he cried when we sang him HBD! 😭 Good thing we froze it! The verdict? LOVED IT! Swipe to see a video of his first bite, then his naked happy dance when we stripped him down to his diaper after! 😍 . Gonna try to share stuff that will put a smile on your face when you’re scrolling Insta. 😊 I’m glued to the news myself, but a welcomed distraction with cute babies, funny memes (found in my stories!), and some cute fashions here and there is just what the doctor ordered! 🙌🏻 . . . #birthdayboy #coltonjames #smashcake #lethimeatcake #positivemind #goodvibes #happybaby #babyboy #12months #momsblogger #indianamom
Instagram post 2265781052104723022_29309937 Hi friends! Staying healthy over here and making the best of staying in as much as possible! Today we had my in-laws over for dinner, just soup, nothing special... but it literally felt like Thanksgiving! 😆🍗 I was so happy to have company and to actually get dressed and put on makeup for the first time in a few days! I threw on these lavender ‘Heck Yes’ statement earrings from @stelladot and they were giving me so much life, lol! 🙌🏻 Swipe to see Colton eying my wine glass, that little cutie! 😍 . I’m trying to find the message in all of this.... what can I learn? Where’s the silver lining? I’m learning to appreciate slowing down; staying home, and spending quality time with family. But the biggest takeaway I already have is being grateful for my health. I wake up every day feeling grateful that I’m feeling perfectly healthy. Let’s hope it stays that way!! 🙌🏻 . Praying for good health for all, and a speedy recovery for anyone who has fallen ill. 🙏🏻 We will get through this!! . . . #positivevibes #goodvibesonly #healthy #wegood #stayathome #socialdistance #takethisseriously #familytime #coronavirus #wegotthis #stelladotstyle #indianamom #heckyesstatementearrings
Instagram post 2263602998951341931_29309937 ✨Good Vibes Only✨ Boy, do we need this attitude right about now! 🙌🏻 The news is beyond depressing, Indianapolis has closed schools until April, and I’ve gotta figure out how to entertain 3 kids for the next week before spring break and keep everyone healthy! 😧 But really trying to stay positive and do my part as best I can. 🙌🏻 . Sometimes when the news is grim, you need a little distraction...So in the spirit of good vibes, it’s time for another #virtualstylechallenge! This week is all about spring florals. I love a floral print, but I don’t have a lot of this pattern in my clothes at the moment. I recently discovered @ellamaesboutique, a local boutique here in Indy that has really cute style, and they post new arrivals daily. Saw this #GoodVibesOnly hat online and had to have it. Not only is this my personal motto, I loved the pretty floral pattern interweaved with the text. This will be the perfect throw on and go hat all summer long! Ella Mae Boutique has a website you can shop, so I recommend checking them out! Swipe to see my #ootd with this vibrant peach sweatshirt and jeans from @gap. Sneaks are @madewell 😍 I linked my exact outfit details in the Shop My Instagram link in bio! .

Instagram post 2260027208066194525_29309937 Beautiful day today in Indy! Sun ☀️was out, so naturally we went to the movies, lol! 😆 The kids have been dying to see the new @PixarOnward movie and it was so good! Bring Kleenex, it’s def a tearjerker at the end! 😭 . My daughter is starting to want to twin with mommy, so today we kinda did black and denim...weak, I know! 🙊 Clearly a #twinningfail. But we do have matching pink manis, so that’s a start! 💅🏻 Do any girl moms out there like to twin with your daughters? It’s so cute that she wants to, I better get us some matching looks before she’s not into it anymore! . . . #girlmom #twinnies #outfittwins #momanddaughter #onward #onwardmovie #familymoviedate #momstyle #mommychic #ootd #wiw #oldnavystyle #denimjacket
Instagram post 2259383435552533516_29309937 🎉Happy 1st Birthday, Colton 🎉 It honestly doesn’t feel like Colton was born a year ago. Where the heck has the time gone? Fastest year ever. Feel so incredibly blessed that he’s our baby and his sweet and calm soul found its way into our family. He’s a gem I tell ya! 💎 . Had a small little family party tonite with the grandparents, @chickfila nuggets, @chilis chips & ranch 😛, cake, and WINE! 🍷 Anything more would’ve been overwhelming for him, as you can see in my stories... he cried his face off when we sang him HBD!? 😭 Swipe to see a couple pics from our day & the adorable photo banner with pics from all 12 mts! . I declare this Colton‘s bday weekend and he’s gonna wear his bday outfit again tomorrow—I washed it! We’ll try again with his smash cake—he didn’t eat it! Have a great weekend, friends! . . . #firstbirthday #birthdayboy #coltonjames #motherandson #babyshark #oldsoul #photobanner #mommychic #stelladotstyle #reebok
Instagram post 2258568583854652758_29309937 Anyone who knows me well, knows I am a lip gloss/lip stick junkie! I have a makeup pouch in my purse that only holds my favorite lippies—like 20 shades of pink! 👄 There’s a lot invested in that little pouch!! 🤑💄 . For today’s #virtualstylechallenge we are sharing our favorite @everskincare lip colors. Ever Skin is the clean beauty sister brand of @stelladot and it’s now available on my S&D website. So naturally I wanted to find a lip color that I liked. . My #1 must in a lip stick or gloss is it has to be moisturizing. I cannot handle anything the sucks the moisture out of my lips, and it cannot he sticky! I can’t stand when my hair sticks to my lip gloss or when I kiss my baby and he has a sticky residue on his face! No thank you! . I am loving this Ever Smooth Stick in Bright Dragonfruit. Don’t let the color fool you, it’s a buildable color, so it starts out a sheer-ish pink. The more layering you do, the deeper the color. Swipe to see 1 coat, 2-3 coats, and how it looks topped off with @buxomcosmetics lip gloss. I always like to add a little gloss over a lipstick for added shine, but you don’t need it as this color is beautiful on its own. It also comes in the prettiest rose gold applicator, which just looks so chic in your bag or in your hand while applying, lol! 😂 . There’s plenty of lippies to choose from at Ever, including matte lips and glosses. If you want to check out this smooth stick, I’ve linked it in a shopping cart in my bio, along with my pretty necklace combo! 😍 . To see more pretty color options from Ever, click on the hashtag #virtualstylechallenge to see what my stylish friends are wearing... I’m pretty sure you’re going to see some BOLD lips in fun colors!💋 . . . #lipstick #lipgloss #lippies #lipsticklover #lipglossjunkie #everskincare #stelladotstyle #cleanbeauty #cleanmakeup #cosmeticlover #eversmoothstick #brightdragonfruit
Instagram post 2257804699090645196_29309937 Comfy cute is my Jam! Sharing my Wednesday style for running errands and getting ready for my little Colton’s 1st birthday! 😭 Just picked up this new jean jacket from @oldnavy and I’m a little bit obsessed!! I’ve been eying it for months because I love the distressing and vintage wash. Figured I didn’t really NEED a new jean jacket... but now that I have it I realize it was a definite MUST! I’ve linked it in the Shop My Instagram link in my bio if you’re interested in it! Paired the jacket with head to toe Stella & Dot. 😃 Wore the uber soft side zip gray leopard sweatshirt and my fave S&D leggings. Since I’m wearing a gray top, it was a silver jewels kinda day! 🤍 You can shop my accessories using the S&D link in bio, or message me if you want to know about specific pieces I’m wearing. I’m happy to can send you a direct link! . . . #mommychic #momstyle #oldnavy #jeanjacket #stelladotstyle #wiw #ootd #comfystyle #fashionmom #fashiondiaries #sscollective #shopstyle #sdjoy
