This dress is one of my cutest boys in a long time and I got TONS of compliments on it everywhere I went! We had an under the sea theme and this blue was perfect for the whole vibe of water and waves but it comes in a bunch of colors too!

This cute little two piece outfit is truly a fave of mine and adding a cute little jacket over top is a great way to still wear it into Fall 🤩

Halara work pants for the win! So comfy and this color was so vibrant and fun! Got two pairs for $59 during a sale they had happening! My top is one I have in multiple colors from Target and is only $10!

Fun Fridays are exhausting but that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear a cute outfit :)

I am obsessed with this denim jacket from a local shop and I’ve had these pants from Loft for years!

Love a good classic and comfy work outfit! I’ve had these pants for a long time and they’ve held up! This tank is a staple and I have in many colors!

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

I really may have a problem with these pants… I can’t stop getting them! 😂😁 They are the best pants that I’ve found for our age group that needs to hold a little in and come in all the colors and prints!

I got compliments on this every time I turned a corner! This is a perfect transitional outfit from summer into fall 🌻

To say I’m totally loving this lanyard is an understatement! It’s been a total game changer for me to finally carry around all the things and not lose them or feel like my pockets are full! I linked 🔗 this in my bio for ya, and this particular one is so cute because of the embroidery details, and it comes in a bunch of colors and patterns too ☺️ Can’t forget to mention @coco_theshop for one of my fave skirts ever 🤩 #schoolcounselor #lanyard #schoolcounselorsofinstagram #teacherstyle #outfitoftheday #ootd #whatiworetowork

Well, we made it! The first week of school is always a doozy of a week in many different ways but my goodness, it always feels so great to be back with the students 👏🏻🤩 There is just nothing like back-to-school vibes! I got so many compliments on every outfit this week, the staff really made me feel so cute for a 43 year old mom out here tryin’ 🥰😂🙌🏻

#LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKWorkwear

This outfit got me a ton of compliments and I’ve lived in it! It’s so affordable and comfortable, and it’s also a professional athleisure material, so can easily be worn to work! I’m getting in a new color 🤩👏🏻

I’m going to live in this! 🤩💜👍🏼

Since my account is still pretty new on here and we’re moving into the winter months out of the garden, I wanted to introduce myself as a school counselor and mental health therapist ☺️ I’m an award winning school counselor by day and a boy mom/wife going from sport to sport by nights and weekends ⚽️⚾️🏀🤼

I absolutely love my job, but with a career in education these days comes a reeeeeeally unregulated nervous system. I had to learn in my 30’s how to reshape the way I processed the secondary trauma I faced daily. If I was going to be a healthy wife and parent for my family, I had to find outlets that would bring me peace, while at the same time bringing our family closer together! We lived in Chicago for almost a decade and didn’t have a yard but as soon as we bought our house in Ohio, my peaceful place came to fruition 👩‍🌾

In my spare time you’ll find me in the garden listening to my favorite music with my boys, shopping local, traveling, going on hikes, crafting or reading a good book by the fire, taking care of my plants, hanging with my besties, or just living that homebody dream with the fam and our dog Rocky Balboa! As I’ve gotten older, I find the most happiness in the small moments and that’s where the name for my page came from… a “glimmer” is what I like to call those moments that keep me going ✨

They say your 40s are when you truly find yourself—and wow, are they right! Somewhere between the lessons learned and the wrinkles earned, I’ve discovered a confidence I never knew in my 20s or 30s. It’s not about perfection; it’s about authenticity.

As an educator, the stress and emotional demands of the job can sometimes make it easy to lose sight of yourself. But here’s what I’ve learned: prioritizing your own well-being isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Confidence and self-care go hand in hand. In this season of life, I’ve stopped apologizing for who I am. I take pride in the journey, the growth, and the scars that tell my story.

Aging isn’t something to fear—it’s a chance to step fully into your power and own your unique magic. I’ve found that embracing who I am helps me show up as a better teacher, counselor, and role model for the kids I work with every day.

Life is better at the lake, and especially with this incredible, buttery soft sweatsuit! This color is sold out but I’m going to have to get it in some more! ✨💜

I always get asked where this set of overalls is from! I originally got them from a friend’s boutique but I FINALLY found them for you all! Hooray! They are so comfortable and are perfect for either the Spring or Summer seasons!✨💜
