Recipe of the week! This Stuffed Mushroom Recipe is SOOOO good! You can definitely modify this recipe to add more carbs and swap out the type of meat you choose to use! Super flexible and its sooooo good! Cannot wait to make this again! Xo, Sarah
Hey Girls! Hope your Saturday is starting off well! We are getting ready to get some more family time in and hoping to get outside today! I am partnering with Shoes.com today to share a little Spring Shoe Style Inspiration– I had SO MUCH FUN creating these looks for Spring.
These three looks are inspired by everyday fun outside, going for a walk with the family, fun and on trend style. At the moment family walks and going for a ride in the car are about all we are able to do at the moment, but there will come a time where the fun with family and friends will continue — these styles at Shoes.com will be ready for whatever you have planned!
Denim // White Bootie // White TShirt // Crossbody
White booties are super Chic and a fun way to dress up a simple denim and tshirt look! These white booties are so fresh and on trend, I see them everywhere I was excited to get a pair and style them for Spring. This look is so easy and chic to toss on a feel confident with what I am wearing and still on trend!
T–Shirt Dress // Denim Jacket // Dr. Martens // Camera Bag
I am reliving my youth in the Dr.Martens– later in the Summer when the Concerts start back up (maybe a little 90’s grunge band?!) This look can for sure be your go-to! Style tip: I like mixing up feminine details with the black boot to make it more a girly and fun style!
Babydoll Dress // Espadrilles // Crossbody Satchel
Easy Spring dress and Espadrille in Neutrals are perfect for anything you might have going on! Grilling out on the back patio or taking the kids to for a drive to grab some ice cream– easy to stay comfy and stylish!
Shoes.com has all the major trends and brands I look for each season. The shipping is quick and can get what I need for myself and the family quick! 😉
I rounded up these fun styles and also a few others you might like for Spring and heading into Summer time!
Thank you to Shoes.com for sponsoring today’s post. As always all opinions here are my own.

Sausage and Peppers ! Hope you are well! We are all currently weathering some kind of storm right now being in some form of Quarantine. I personally am in Week 4, and not doing so well at homeschooling!
Do something today, when you look back 6 months from now, makes you proud! We can do this! Wherever you are in the thick of this, I am thinking of and praying for you! We can do this!
My FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach is assisting me this month during Quarantine– we are cooking and enjoying a mean Virtually – each Wednesday of the Month of April on Instagram Stories! Join us!
Hope you enjoy today’s recipe!
Quarantine time means we have a bit of time to take for ourselves… JKJKJKJK, In THEORY we do, but nonetheless, focusing on Skincare should be something (myself included) I could stand to take a little more time for.
Recently posted my videos on how I am using all these items, but wanted to make this a more comprehensive list and go -to location for all the skincare I recommend and am loving right now.
Cleanser: Cult Classic or Acne Cleanser: I like to really make sure my face is clean since its so prone to breakouts. So I love the Cult Classic and Acne Cleansers ( The Acne line really has helped me so much– kept breakouts at bay but doesn’t overdry)
Toner: Glycolic Resurfacing Gel Toner– LOVE LOVE this for helping with texture and neutralizing potential breakouts. This has been such a gamechanger for me. (Use this Day and night)
Moisturizer: 24/7 Moisture or Quench both these products are a great little drink of water for your skin. Started using Quench more recently and I really love the texture and cooling sensation of that product. It’s a lighter product and feels SO good on your skin.
Tanning Drops: You can add these tanning drops to your moisturizer in the morning under your makeup for a gradual faux glow! I use this for my face- but can be used on your body should you choose.
GLOWIFY METALLIC MASK // DETOX MASK
I have talked recently a lot about how I keep my hair shiny and healthy looking. I have been using this Conditioner and Serum for over a year- LOVE it, gosh I hope I NEVER run out! LOL
I have been using both these products for a couple years, my friend introduced LAVISH and the Body Polish as a little sampler duo at Christmas once- and have been using EVER since! (No pun intended)
I do use the body butter more sparingly since its a tad more pricey than an everyday lotion, but on the days when you are feeling extra dry or right after you used the Body Polish (Spa experience let me tell you) As of right now there is a Citron scent that is brand new OMG So good.
If you want some quality body care, look no more.
BODY POLISH // LAVISH BODY BUTTER
YOUR LIFE WILL GET BETTER WHEN YOU DO
Quarantine or not, exercise has become a huge part of my life in order to reduce stress and help with my overall well being. I did not always workout–I began to really make exercise a priority in my life in my thirties and when I started — It was walking/running a one mile circle (using the C25K app) in my basement in the dead of winter. Using exercise to help combat stress instead of using alcohol or food has been a pivotal point in helping me maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
I have evolved over time in my preferences of where and how to workout as I began to learn more and more. My current workouts include a combination of Peloton Bike/Outdoor Running and Garage Crossfit Workouts. I highly suggest you explore some of these options to find a combination that works for you.
Peloton App- Trial is 90 Days FREE – Many options available running, abs etc.
Burn Bootcamp – Full body workouts on their Youtube platform. Highly suggested reader favorite!
FASTerWay to Fat Loss Free Workout Resource – With and Without equipment options. This workout is in place training circuit style.
M.Nicholson Hip Hop Fitness- A local favorite of mine now streaming online Hip Hop classes on YouTube. This is the FIRST group fitness class i ever went to! You will be addicted!
Jocelyn James FASTerWay Coach – At home workout guides and currently leading her own ab circuit training.
POPSugar Fit TV on YouTube – These videos are an upbeat dance style option for more cardio and to get your energy up!
Beachbody on Demand- My personal favorite is T25 with ShaunT but there are a ton of options here for a great 20-30 sweat session that often requires no weights.
COMPTRAIN – At Home Crossfit Workouts Sign for a daily email for a WOD (Workout of the Day) or just do the weekly Home Gym option which is great if you do not have equipment.
FAVORITE WORKOUT GEAR:
HOW YOU DO ANYTHING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING
Floral Dress // Purple Sandals // Nude Sandals
Hey girls, wanted to share something a little different today– I mentioned earlier in the week I was going to do a little Spring and Easter Outfit Inspiration– We are still planning on celebrating in our house including getting a little dressed up – it gives us something to look forward to! The boys and I did a little post on what to do for gifting and some fun ideas to get outside– and I couldn’t pass up on a chance to chat about some easy options to make Spring fun for dressing up too! (Honestly just creating this post for you all put me in such a good mood)
No you aren’t seeing double this is in fact the same dress, I just loved it so much I bought it twice! I recently found this dress at Nordstrom online (spoiler alert under $45) and immediately loved the smocking with the long sleeves. I don’t always like to go sleeveless in the Spring just because the weather can be a little back and forth- but loved that the design felt light enough that its still weather forward and even fun for a shower or party in the summer too. I loved the smocking on the neck and around the waist, this style is always so figure flattering!
Thank you to Nordstrom for Sponsoring today’s post. As always all opinions here are my own.
Crazy times we are living in friends, two things we know for sure: 1. We are all in this together and 2. It will come to an end. Life as we know it now will be radically different and the world will be better for it. My thoughts and prayers are with those families that are being directly affected by this virus. Thank you to all the health care, first responders, grocery store employees, delivery drivers! You are all making a difference in our lives and we Thank YOU for all you do!
Easter is on the way soon even though our Celebrations will look a little different this year— Our plans will still include our family and we will have a fun brunch with mimosas, set the table, get fresh flowers and wear some bright colors! We are so thankful for the true meaning of Easter and for our family its an important holiday.
We also look forward to the fun baskets, candy egg hunts etc– but this year I am looking for a few fun things OUTSIDE! Quarantine life is a little tough inside and in Ohio our weather gets a little nicer come mid April-so the boys and I thought we could grab a few ideas for you in case you are looking for some!
OUTSIDE THE BASKET! Target candy and chocolate bunnies are galore so I don’t think you need help there. Think it’s a perfect time to grab a few ideas that are perfect for outside!
Another thought we had is do a typical Easter basket and if you wanted to support a local business–grab your local yearly Zoo pass for when they reopen, or an aquarium! Those would be fun activities to get out and still enjoy all the family time we are all getting accustomed to!
On a more adult note, no Easter brunch (at least in my house) is complete without a fun Spring Cocktail– here is a little cocktail inspiration and the one we are making on Easter Morning!
Girls I hope you enjoy this family time and continue to seek the Joy in each day that passes. One day we will look back and see how much our family is closer together ( and how much we learn about Tiger King) and not worry so much about what our kids aren’t learning in school! Enjoy. your week friends! xo, Sarah
