Have you guys heard of Gal Meets Glam dresses? I have been a huge fan of blogger Julia Engel for years and she started her own line of dresses. They are all so beautiful! The one I am wearing is unfortunately sold out but she has a lot of similar ones. Check them out! I have been loving pairing fancy dresses or skirts with casual sweaters this winter and above is an example of what I have been wearing to church almost every week. http://liketk.it/2yLi8 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #galmeetsglam #silkdress #auratejewelry #lasvegasfashionblogger

It is almost Christmas but it looks and feels like Fall in Las Vegas. We went to take these photos at the District and the trees had all changed colors and were so beautiful.

This dress is so fun, I love t-shirt dresses and it’s pink, so even better. I found this one from C and V Boutique. I have featured her designs before on the blog and I am still just as in love. http://liketk.it/2yUtf #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy birthday to my favorite two year old! Jack is such a fun ball of energy all of the time- even at 5am every morning. 🙄 He definitely keeps Blayne and I on our toes! He talks like a little adult, reasoning his way out of time outs. He is obsessed with Coco, Groot, jumping off of things, and candy. I am so glad to have his fun personality in my life! ♥️ http://liketk.it/2y6Lr #liketkit @liketoknow.it #freshlypicked #tacotwosday

This year for Halloween we are characters from the movie Coco. We did homemade costumes with 90% of them being thrifted. Jack has been obsessed with months for this movie! Holidays are so much more fun when you have kids. 💀

*Thanks to Savers for partnering with us on this fun Halloween post!

I can’t believe how fast this little boy is growing up. He turns two in exactly two weeks. 😳 Every mom says this, but seriously where has the time gone?! #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2xOhx #LTKfamily #LTKkids

Have you guys ever made your own cheese? Me either until I tried the Urban Cheese Craft kits! I have always wanted to make my own cheese but it just seemed so overwhelming. Her step-by-step instructions make it so easy to conquer your culinary fears. I ended up making my own mozzarella, ricotta, brie, feta, and chevre and they honestly all turned out great! My absolute favorite was the mozzarella. This would be such a fun activity for a girls night or a date night! http://liketk.it/2xNuB #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #LTKhome

How gorgeous are these details?! Thanks for the gorgeous frosting, @saintvalentinebridal and @virginiageigerjewels! ♥️ http://liketk.it/2xAbP #liketkit @liketoknow.it #bridaljewelry #frostyourselves

It is our six year anniversary! We celebrated by going to Marrakesh for dinner, seeing the Beatles love Cirque du Soleil show, and spending the day at Green Valley Ranch spa. It was such a blast! http://liketk.it/2xzaR #liketkit @liketoknow.it #jjshouse #jjshouseweddingdress

I have been loving graphic tees lately. As a boy mom, you have to have comfortable clothes that you can move with and that you aren’t too afraid of getting dirty. I have linked a few of my favorite ones on the like to know it app. Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot. http://liketk.it/2xiLj #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We try to give Jack small opportunities to be independent and his new bed has been great for that. They are also fairly simple to make. Blayne found easy directions that we linked on the blog (www.theallureavenue.com) http://liketk.it/2xejt #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #LTKhome #montessori

When we moved, we decided that we didn’t want to have go back to a crib or pack and play so we decided to start Jack in a toddler bed. He is definitely a little bit young (he won’t be two until November) but it was such a good choice! I recommend it to anybody that has a kid at the same stage! http://liketk.it/2xdmz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #LTKhome #montessoribed #montessoriroom #monochromeroom

A lot of people think Las Vegas doesn’t have much beauty, and at first glance that is probably true. But it really does have it’s own beauty, especially at night. The desert comes to life at night. I am not talking about Downtown or the Strip although those come to life at night too. Ha ha! Most animals are nocturnal here so if you want to spot them, dusk is when you want to be outside. I have seen bats, owls, snakes, scorpions, and even tortoises out! http://liketk.it/2x8Tv #liketkit @liketoknow.it #getoutside #lasvegasbeauty #redrockcanyon #LTKfamily

Blayne and I have such a special place in our hearts for Red Rock. We lived so close when we were first married that we would go rock climbing and train for our marathon here every week. http://liketk.it/2x8aM #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #redrocklasvegas #getoutside

How cute is this little sailor?! 🛳 http://liketk.it/2x3Pw #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Skagway is a very small town in Alaska. The main excursion that people go on here is the White Pass and Yukon Route train. It takes you through a beautiful pass that goes up through Canada and back to Skagway. We decided to rent a few cars and do our own version of the tour so that we could stop whenever we wanted to (essential with small kids). On this gorgeous scenic drive we saw tons of beautiful lakes- my favorite was Emerald Lake. We also saw a moose and a mommy bear with her cubs just off of the highway! We also sailed through the Inside Passage/ Tracy Arm which was beautiful. http://liketk.it/2x3uU #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Our Alaskan cruise post is up today! Our first stop was Juneau, Alaska. When we went to Juneau, we decided that we wanted to see the Mendenhall Glacier. In order to see the actual caves, you need to take a long and dangerous hike there so we decided that it wasn’t a great idea to do with kids. There is a short hike to a waterfall that is near the glacier so that is what we decided to do. It was still beautiful but next time we go to Juneau, I am definitely going to do the hike to the caves. #mendenhallglacier #alaskancruise #juneaualaskahttp://liketk.it/2x2Gc #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We found these cute father and son swimsuits from Taonga Beachwear. As you all know, I am a sucker for matching family outfits. Jack is in love with these and says they are his “Moana shorts” because of the coconuts. @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2wYi5 #LTKfamily #LTKkids #liketkit #buccaneerbeach

Since Blayne wasn’t able to come with us to Alaska (that post will be up soon) we decided to take a post bar exam trip with some of our friends from law school. It was such a fun, relaxing weekend and was just what Blayne needed after so much studying. #LTKfamily #LTKkids #buccaneerbeach #fatherandson #daddyandmeswimwear http://liketk.it/2wXXG #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I have always loved anything green. I am fascinated by the concept of bringing the outside indoors. In my dream house, I would love to have a moss wall in my bathroom! That is why I was so drawn to this gorgeous moss art piece by Holly Bee and Company. I think it is the perfect accent for our wall! http://liketk.it/2wRE7 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #mossart #greendecorating #bringtheoutsidein #LTKhome

I had a really time finding a rug that I liked that fit the color scheme that I was going for. Moss green shades are especially difficult to find in rugs. I came across Boutique Rugs and instantly knew that this is where I would find what I was looking for. They have such a great selection! Any style or color that you are looking for, I guarantee they have it- and at a great price!

Finding baby crabs at the beach is always a plus! 🦀

We found the perfect beach. If you have been to California and have never been to Crescent Beach, you are missing out! We normally go to Huntington or Newport but if you drive just a little bit south to Laguna, there is a more secluded beach with super soft sands that aren’t covered with trash like the larger, more popular beaches. Unfortunately we didn’t bring snorkeling gear, but I hear that there are a lot more fish to see here as well.

This “ray of sunshine” has had a rough day today. Lots of timeouts. But looking back on this picture from the other day makes it all worth it! 🌞

Jack has been fascinated with cactus’s lately and says “poke” every time he gets close to one. I love his age right now. Everywhere we take him, he learns something new. He finds joy in every day life and I think that is something everyone can learn from. http://liketk.it/2wcUG #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKkids
