Christmas Week Look!

Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring todays look, as always all opinions here are my own.

Hey Ladies! Christmas week is here! Are you ready?! I am still trying to decide what gifts to get for the boys…Last minute shopper over here! This look on the blog today is perfect for Christmas week, whether you want to take it to girls lunch or even a little business casual look– its comfy and classy all at the same time!

Nordstrom is a go – to for me to shop, they have a ton of classic pieces that are easy to mix and match. The Nordstrom made brand Halogen is something I always want to check out. The cut out shoulder sweater is a perfect length ( I got my true size large) to even wear with leggings. Its super soft, has a second neutral color option too! I paired it with black denim here and a little front tuck too. Paired with some simple black pumps, and you’re on your way!

I linked the full look below along with a few other sale items I recently found as well!

Thank you to Walmart+ for sponsoring todays post, as always all opinions here are my
own.  

Oh man, the Holidays arrived QUICK! Confession I haven’t started working on my list yet,
I am TOTALLY a last minute kinda  shopper– Quick little gift that will NEVER disappoint
(and gives all year long) is a year long membership to Walmart+ 

Early Last year, I started looking around for more time and money saving options. So I started using the Walmart+ membership to get unlimited free delivery on fresh, high quality groceries weekly($35 minimum.

I can always find my regular snacks and foods I want for the boys
and love that it’s easy to add items to my cart by saving my previously ordered items in
my account which SAVES ME SO MUCH TIME! I have LOVED this (sometimes even
more frequently) and it helps me spend more time with my family and get back to what I
actually ENJOY doing. 


 Free unlimited delivery can help for holiday
gatherings and gifting wins all season long.  ($35 minimum, 
restrictions apply). The Walmart+ membership is not just for grocery delivery, so you
can get other items you need like clothing or electronics, and the membership pays for itself
with two deliveries (based on the $7.95 delivery fee)!

Join for $12.95/month or $98/year. 
Another Walmart+ benefit includes free shipping, no order minimum on last
minute gifts for all your holiday moments, all season long at the same low price you get

Holiday Sparkle: One Top, Two Ways

*Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring today’s post, as always all opinions here are my own.

I know I start prepping for the Holidays sooner than most because I love to enjoy twinkle lights wayyyy too much, but I really feel like it’s sneaking up on us! That means you pretty much have permission to wear sequins or something sparkly everyday. LOL– I mean, if ya can’t now, when can you?!

I partnered with Nordstrom today and styled this sequin beauty two ways, to share how you can get a little more mileage from what we would consider only a dressy top— but go ahead a pop it on again for a little gathering with the girls and it will be the statement of the evening! I LOVE the monochromatic look and dressed down with a little denim! The sequin halter top, comes in three colors, I am wearing a large, I found it runs a little big so I could easily do a medium – so feel free to size down if you are in between.

Nordstrom has some awesome new arrivals for winter and the holiday season, In addition to this particular look– one top, two ways — I linked up a few more versatile pieces that are SO fun to spice up your looks this holiday season!

Check out the full styling of this look and the other items that would be perfect this Holiday season below! If you do grab something, make sure to tag me on Instagram! I cannot wait to see how you style it!

Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas

Hey Ladies, it is REALLY hard to believe we are two weeks away from Christmas! My holiday gift giving list has grown this year by more than just a few (My Brother and his fam are finally close by, as he is getting out of the Navy soon!) Which means my family gets to have a small get together and have all the kids open presents!

Working from home and adding days of Virtual Home School to the mix means I don’t have a ton of time to get all the gifts I need by driving all over the place! I was able to check EVERYONE off my list using the tools available to me at Walmart.com-– and I am super excited to get gifting!

A couple ways Walmart made my life so much easier this year is that some of the gifts were able to grabbed through curbside pickup if the store had them, being a Walmart + member anything else I needed was shipped quick and for free!

My nieces were a bit of challenge since I am not usually buying girl gifts ( unless its for me LOL) So I utilized the Gift Finder Tool on Walmart.com– this was a quick and easy way to find a gift for them perfect for their ages and what they are interested in!

It can rely Walmart for great prices all season long, so I don’t feel the pressure of needing to bargain hunt my way through the Christmas Season. Its so helpful to be able to grab the gifts I know my family will enjoy, and I can get back to spending time with them!

I won’t leave you hanging on what was on their lists– So I went ahead and included what I bought for all the kids! Not gonna lie, it was so fun picking up new toys! Can’t wait to see their faces!

I have been getting a TON of Game Room Requests for Gift ideas– I put together a little gift guide for you for some ideas that will be awesome gifts! These would be great for all ages and perfect if you are wanting a larger gift to add to the list!

The Best Hot Chocolate Recipe Ever

Who doesn’t love curling up with a nice cup of hot chocolate?!?! I know I do, and my boys enjoy putting all of the toppings they can fit in one cup, hello marshmallows. While the instant hot coco can be good in a pinch our favorite is in the crockpot. I know you ladies love a good crockpot recipe so write this down, share it, try it and then let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups chocolate chips; milk chocolate OR semi-sweet

Instructions:

  • Pour all the ingredients into a crockpot and whisk together until well combined.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Whisk well before serving. Garnish as desired (all the MARSHMALLOWS and candy canes!)
  • I have heard that you can also make it with white chocolate, butterscotch, even mint chocolate chips. The possibilities are endless! Yum!!!

Holiday Charcuterie Board

The holiday season can be so much fun but it can also get really hectic and crazy. Having a great and easy go-to recipe is a must and the charcuterie board ALWAYS delivers!

It is super easy to throw together and can be a total people pleaser with guests and family. I love adding different things depending on the season, but for the most part, my charcuterie boards have very similar things.

Basics But Make it Holiday

Hey Ladies! Happy Sunday! I have a really fun post for you this Sunday– Gearing up for the Holiday Season we are all about getting comfy and cozy! Thinking about items that are great basics that can be dressed up, comfy and made to be a little bit Holiday Style– are perfect for getting a little more mileage out of your clothes!

I have a couple looks today that are full of great pieces– Athleisure and beyond that I personally hand- picked from Nordstrom that I think are perfect looks to keep us comfortable during holiday season but how about after- like to and from the gym?

These pieces are perfect to grab when you are looking for a couple items to add to your wardrobe– wear now, wear later kinda thing! 😉

Just for sizing reference, I am in my normal size large in everything! Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring today’s post- All the items I hand picked and featured here are have an always free shipping and returns!

Holiday Style is great with a little extra added bling or a touch of red- I love these athleisure picks that have just a touch of special details like the Faux Leather Leggings— Faux leather on the front and ponte knit on the back! This lighter weight turtleneck is a perfect length for leggings and great for layering- comes in a few colors! Don’t forget the fun fluffy hat– its definitely a statement maker, I have these in several colors — You can go mono chromatic with an all black look or try a different color for a little bit of a pop of color!

Really loving this new combat boot style— These can go all over the place with you for holiday with the cozy sherpa lining. The lower heel and pebble black leather make them easy to dress up or down! Wear now and later!

MORE LEGGINGS OPTIONS AND ON SALE TOO!

I LOVE this full zip athleisure jacket that is PERFECT for a splash of holiday feeling, but great for the to and from the gym for later! For simplicity I have the same turtleneck tunic layered underneath this Furry and Cozy full Zip Jacket.

This look I swapped out my top yet again and have an even cozier funnel neck top on! This one is really fun, there are a few other color options so you can feel free to mix it up depending on your own personal style, plus looks great with denim!

As always, I hope this post finds you well and you can take some style inspiration from it, cannot wait to see how you style it! 😉

Cranberry Vanilla Mimosa (and Mocktail)

Hosting holiday parties big or small can be hard, but having a delicious cocktail recipe to fall back on can make things a little easier! I know you ladies love a great recipe, and this one is so good and SUPER easy!

The 3 ingredients you will need are: Vanilla vodka, cranberry juice and sparkling wine/prosecco. Combine one shot of the vodka with equal parts cranberry juice and shake. Pour into a glass and fill the rest up with the prosecco. Add fresh cranberries to garnish and you are all set with a beautiful and delicious cocktail recipe for the holidays.

If you are like me and prefer a mocktail you can easily substitute the prosecco with a non-alcoholic sparkling wine and add a few drops of imitation vanilla flavor for the vanilla vodka. Enjoy!
