Tell me somethin’ good 🎶

Other than a great weekend filled with sunshine + family + friends….
Some other good of the order – the killer sale at Old Navy today. Each of these tops are under $20. 50% off everything. So I’ll be sharing all my faves today at the bottom of this post!!

Spotted this Printed Tie-Neck Boho Swing Blouse on the Old Navy website the other day and knew it would be good. I went with my normal size medium and it’s a perfect fit.

It’s so nice to be back. While stepping away last week to mute + learn. I’m sure we can all agree, it’s been eyeopening in so many ways.

I truly believe I can do better and that starts at home.

Intentions for the Week:

buy a nice bottle of chardonnay for Thursday to celebrate 10-days of no added sugar

{the best board games}

March 16, 2020 xoxostacybLeave a comment

Hi friends. Shit is just so weird right now. Still going through all the emotions. Stressed. Sad. Pissed off – that I can’t easily get the basics. Not trying to hoard, just need some necessities. Scared of the un-fucking-known. Happy to have more slow time.

Lets all remember to spread kindness. The world needs that shit right now!

Intentions for the Week:

Create a new habit – they say it take 2 weeks, and I’ve got that!
Stay healthy
Find fun ways to move my body without going to the gym
Take Charlie for lots of walks
Keep a positive mind
KonMari my closet
Master at-home mani + pedi’s
Come up with a tequila + emergen-C cocktail
Only purchase what we actually need
Work on my skincare

And since I think we all have extra slow time, I rounded up THE best board games. I read the reviews. Did some homework. Gathered a great selection of games all available on Amazon, so you don’t need to leave the house.

SHOP: Pajamas

Bay Bakes. It’s be a while, but my favorite (not-so) little baker is back. You see, Bay’s now a teenager. So, sometimes she’s all about the blog, like right now. And other times, not so much. Ha! When she’s willing to bake, I take her up on it!

She made the cutest + yummiest Christmas Light Cookies. They are so fun and festive.

I included the sweetest Letter To Santa free printable at the end of this blog post. Although we no longer host our Letters To Santa night, Bay will 100% be forced to write a letter anyway!
