City fun in flares

Category: Style

The very first look I knew I wanted to bring with me to NYC were these flares. They are so so cute and prefect for the city. I also did not want to go without this hat for this look. It was a non negotiable for it. Turns out it was one of the best pieces I brought since it rained almost the entire time I was there. I immediately loved these black flare jeans for a few reasons. One is that they are super comfy and have a good amount of stretch. Another reason is that they practically go with anything! And last but most important is that they are only $32! Any cute look is always that much better when its a deal. Right?! My hat was also a steal at $16 and I also have it in the tan color – both are just so cute!…

Hallway makeover and creating a new space

Category: Home Decor

Over spring break last week our plans fell through and the weather was not good. We wanted to do a little project but one that didn’t take up too much time so we decided to do a little hallway makeover. I have been wanting to paint our hallway for months now! When we moved into our house we renovated our entire first floor and did a few updates and painting in the bedrooms. But for some reason never painted and cleaned up the hallway. Fast forward almost 2 years and there were A LOT of finger prints from the kids all over the walls. We have a little nook in the landing/hallway and I wanted to add a little something to the space to make more of another area in the house rather than just a hall. This post contains affiliate links.

I haven’t done a big amazon shop in awhile so thought I would share my spring amazon haul and all my good finds. Spring Amazon Haul First up are these paper bag waist shorts! These are super cute and comfy. They will definitely be on repeat this summer. I love them since they are a pull on you can adjust them based where you like them to sit on your waist. These slides are a great dupe of a more expensive pair and fit great right from the start. I love this hat for the summer! I have a few big beach hats but this one is better for when I have to run around with the kids. Every piece…

7 layer dip – lightened up

Category: Recipes

Now that Super Bowl is getting close I thought it was time to share one of my favorite football recipes, my 7 layer dip! This is great for a crowd because everyone loves it and it will serve a good amount of people. Plus you can make it earlier in the day and just put it out come game time! The Details I’ve made a few swaps with this one from a standard recipe to make it slightly healthier without losing any flavor. First I use vegetarian refried beans or even refried black beans. This cuts down on any extra unnecessary fat and you don’t even know. I also use non fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream which is another swap you won’t even notice. Also we always use tostitos scoops because they can hold the weight of the dip without breaking! They even come in baked as…
