🍂 Walmart has clearly arrived for fall—without taking your coffee money! I’m so excited to partner with @Walmart to share these five new fall styles, all under $35. From denim-on-denim to vintage skirts to classic dresses, there’s truly something for everyone. Comment FALL and I’ll send you all the links before they sell out!

Now here’s the hard part—I need your help deciding what to keep and what to return (although if you know me, I’ll probably keep most of them because they’re all a 10/10 🙌). Wearing an extra small in all- I am 5’5 for reference.

✨Exclusively at Walmart—affordable style that doesn’t skimp on charm.

Sweater weather—and everybody loves it! 🍂 These two holiday sweaters are festive without being over the top, making them perfect for everyday wear too. Comment FALL to grab all of these Walmart styles (and tops underneath)

Both sweaters are under $26 and come in several colors and styles. They’re lightweight, super soft, and pair beautifully with my favorite Sofía Vergara jeans (under $25, wearing size 0).

And let’s not forget this oversized flannel with pockets—a best seller last week and for good reason. It’s just $16 and so good I grabbed it in another color. All three of these pieces are fall must-haves that you’ll wear on repeat.

Three years into this empty nest chapter, and I’m still figuring it out as I go. When both boys left for college, the quiet hit fast and so did the need to rediscover who I was beyond the busy days of raising twins. So, I dove into my page to keep my mind busy and to connect with other moms walking this same road. Since then, I’ve learned a few things: how to pray them through each new season, how to let go of Life360 for everyone’s sanity, and how to fill the silence with purpose (and sometimes, just a good walk and coffee).

This carousel is for the moms who’ve gone from a full house to an empty one overnight. For the ones learning to reconnect with themselves, their spouse, and their faith. Here’s to finding peace in the quiet, joy in the in-between, and grace in every goodbye. Save this for later—or share it with another mom who might need to hear it today. You are not alone. We’ve will get through together!!

Shoes are on clearance $26

I just bought this scoop women’s sleepless dress. It’s only $9… I can hardly believe it. It comes in three colors I ordered the small since it’s form fitting in both the jacket and the dress.

POV: A Day in Learning Land- I almost got to school early until I got stopped by a train. I’ve never seen one in the morning, but of course, today of all days, there it was. 🤣🚂🚂🚂🚂 The day was full of lesson planning, helping kindergarten pick their Halloween costumes, and getting roasted by a five-year-old who said I looked like a tiger. Honestly? The highlight of my day. I’ve never laughed so hard! 🐅🧡🖤🤣

The day ended by me cleaning the book room. Then, I packed up a few things to finish at home, and just kept thinking this was a good day! The laughter in between the lessons, the little moments that make learning land both exhausting and worth it. Even in the busy, the routine, and the in-between of meetings and emails, I’m grateful for this season in learning land because I only have three years left!! 😳
