Keeping it casual this Friday. I loved being read to as a kid and love reading to my kids and students. If you haven’t heard this story about the day you begin, it’s a great book! Anyone recognize where the pictures from my shirt are from? #LTKbacktoschool #LTKunder50

School’s out for summer! I’m ready to spend well needed relaxation time with my family. I didn’t anticipate this $19 dress being so comfortable at a wedding in 100 degree weather. How hot is it where you are?

When I heard rain on the forecast, I ran and grabbed my coat. This Walmart deal is under $50 and perfect for fall or winter.

I’m in love with this camel coat from @walmart. It’s high quality and can be dressed up or down. Best part is it’s under $50!

Target is having a shoe sale. 20% off online. 🏃🏽‍♀️ it wads Tuesday!

I’m loving for this fall weather! These ankle boots from @target come right above the ankle. They’re also great with jeans. Also I may or may not have more this @amazon dress in more than one color 😜 Anyone else shop like that?

I couldn’t resist putting this shacket on repeat when I was told it was flannel Friday. Does this count as flannel?

Walmart shackets are still available in yellow and red. These are so soft and cute. Best deal is it’s under $20

Happy fall y’all! 🍁 I finally can wear booties without my ankles sweating 😂 This NorCal weather is driving me bananas. I’m ready for shackets and boots! This shacket is under $20 from @walmart. I got a size medium, and it’s the perfect transition piece. Is the weather cooler where you are?

Sunday is for self care and beauty. Loved sitting in my sisters chair! She glamified me. The new Morphe filter effect foundation is so dreamy. I’m wearing the color 20.

#LTKunder50 #LTKbeauty

I love neutral colors, so you know I had to snag this bodysuit from @amazonfashion. Anyone else feel like the weekend version of yourself versus the work week version of yourself is not the same person. 🙋🏽‍♀️😂

These Walmart sneakers have saved my me while teaching! I wish I could stray away from my dress, jacket, and sneakers combo, but it’s so comfy for a day on my feet! Run to Walmart and snag these $14 shoes. #LTKbacktoschool

I had to redo my Monday. But this flowy skirt was an instant mood lifter. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that days are tough, and I just have to start again. Am I right? How was your day?

Happy Friday! Let’s get this out of the way. These “show” shoes, as my team calls them, lasted all of 40 minutes. Then I threw on my sneakers for PE. 😂 This @amazon dress was a win! I cinched the waist for a more fitted look. Can I tell you day 2 of school was WAY better than day 1? Cheers to the weekend!

Do you love it? I love it! I got it at @rossdressforless! These wide-leg sailor pants were just the right thing for a busy day. I paired it with a lounge shirt from a jogger set. And if I’m being honest, the day ran me. 😂 I’m so excited to be back in person, but here’s to less hectic school days! Happy Friday eve!

I’m back at work this week. I’ve been trying to think of ways to transition my summer pieces into work wear. We are not yet in fall as it was in the high 90s today. This summer dress paired perfectly with some heels and a blazer. Black and white is classic. Am I right?

Funny story, I don’t have sea legs. We took a sunset cruise on a catamaran our last night in Hawaii, and I think I still feel the ocean waves in my brain. 🤪 It’s taking me and the kids several days to get back on California time, but we’re back to our regularly scheduled program. They start school tomorrow. I can’t believe it! What is this mom going to do with by all her time?

After the burn calmed down, I’m loving my Hawaiian tan. My kids did excellent on the red eye flight home. It was a nice vacation, but I’m glad to be home. This gauze dress was a winner. I wore it as a cover up and to dinner.

So I found out my kids tan and sun burn, and so do I 😱. I’m not mad though. This has been a lovely family vacation. This dress was super light weight and got me through 63% humidity. Took a trip to Waimea yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful driving there.

I’m counting the days until I’m tanning poolside with my tropical drink. I’ve been told it’s the “wear the damn suit” season. So here I go! Can I have a hot girl summer, hot mom summer, and hot mess summer all rolled into one? @sheinofficial

Thought these lounge sets from @amazon were cute and comfy. My sister said I’d sweat my buns off in 1. So I thought maybe I’d pretend to be a seasoned traveler and opt for a mom bun and back pack. 😂 What do you think, 1 or 2?

Can we just agree that @jansport backpacks last forever. Mine is from college! 10+ years ago 😱

What’s your favorite color? Mine is orange. Something about the hue just brightens my mood. I snagged a two piece swimsuit this summer because I’ve decided regardless of my current weight I’m going to wear the damn suit! Summer school has been kicking my butt, but I’ve been dreaming of my beach vacation. Two more weeks to go!

i’m working on a summer vacation capsule. These cutoff shorts are perfect dressed down with sandals, dressed up with wedges and an off the shoulder top, or thrown over a swimsuit. Bonus: they’re only $15 @target. I’m looking forward to a vacay. Tell me are you a light packer? Or do you bring more than you need?

My favorite thing to do at the beach is to look for shells and sand dollars. My kid’s have joined the fun, and we’ve started a jar with all the shells from our trips. Can’t wait to start filing it again. What’s your favorite thing to do at the beach? Also, do you think this beach hat will protect me from the rays?

I’m so excited to be matching with my daughter this summer while on vacation. These dresses are vibrant and lightweight. I can’t wait to be on the beach! 🚨 I still have a lot of days of teaching left because I am also teaching summer school this year. But I guess that gives me something to look forward to. Any vacay plans for you?

Are team jade roller or team cold spoon? 😜 These two under eye sticks are better together. The cooling of the @tula glow hour and the concealing power of the @elfcosmetics pen are a great duo! What are your under eye makeup favs?

I was on the hunt for some white shorts. These are button-up and high waisted. I felt a little breeze, but I’m just used to “mom length” shorts. These are longer in the back, but I guess I don’t have to follow the finger tip length rule from high school. Or do I? 😜

I had a wonderful day eating Mexican food and chocolates. I did some more online shopping before the “buy myself Mother’s Day presents” window closed. 😂 I had to snag this @target gauze dress. It’s lightweight and perfect for a summer vacay. Plus side: it has pockets!!! How was your Sunday?

I love this lounge set. I am able to wear both the pieces together and mix and match with other staples. It’s good quality material and very soft. Happy early Mother’s Day to all! My husband asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day, and I said I just want to go to target by myself. 😂 Anyone else love a solo trip to the store?
