This skirt from Chicwish totally feels like you’re wearing actual sunshine!!! I can not tell y’all how many compliments I got while wearing it! Hint, SO MANY!!!! Haha. Everyone wanted to know where it was from and how much it costs. Right now it is on sale for less than $50 and perfect for your summer vacation!! If you want the skirt to fit more high waisted, I would size up. What plans do you have for the summer?!

Hornblower Cruises

Brunch On A Boat? YES PLEASE!

I had the best time with the SoCal Blogger Babes on Hornblowers Cruises KJAZZ Champagne Brunch Cruise in Newport Beach! The weather was absolutely perfect and the food was to die for!!! My absolute favorite part was the free flowing champagne. The staff was walking around refilling our glasses before we even had a chance to realize they were empty! The jazz music was the perfect touch to a perfect day.

The tickets are $75 a person and it includes a 2 hour yacht ride, a unlimited brunch buffet, and unlimited champagne. I say that is a GREAT deal and would make as an amazing gift for a special occasion like birthdays, anniversaries, bridal parties, Father’s Day, etc. Click here to check out all the different locations they have along the west coast and east coast!

Shop my Dress

So as I am writing this post I totally realized I wore my dress totally wrong, HAHAH!!!!!! You are supposed to tie the ribbon around the front of the dress into a bow, like so. I personally think it looked cuter the right way but you can totally wear it like I did too! Use code 1SUNSH15 to receive 15% off your entire purchase!

Mother’s Day 2019 | 3 Reasons I Love Being A Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there!! There’s no strength or love in this world like a mother’s love. I truly can’t believe this is my THIRD Mother’s Day with Jackson!! He is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me and my love for him grows like a weed everyday. Being a mother reveals strengths within yourself you never knew you had, forces you to grow in ways you never thought you would, and brings happiness to your heart that you never knew existed. Seeing the world through your own child’s eye is true gift that I will never take for granted!! Since today is Mother’s day I thought I would share 3 reasons I love being mom! PS. My dress is from SheIn and is less than $20!

  1. Constantly being reminded of the little things – Children live their life’s differently than us old people. They still see the joy in the little things, ALL the little things. One of my favorite things that happens on a daily basis: I’m in a bad mood about something super silly. My energy, vibes, and facial expressions aren’t at their best. I see Jackson get overly excited about something super minimal (our dogs going potty outside, an airplane in the sky, the moon at night etc.) and I immediately realize how beautiful life is and how utterly silly it is to waste another moment in a bad mood. LOVE THAT.
  2. The Love – I did not grow up in a house with two parents or a house filled with a ton of love and affection. I’ve actually never seen my mom live with a male nor did I live with a male until I moved in with Tyler. So to be constantly surround by the love, kisses, hugs, and words of affirmation from Jackson is truly the best thing in this universe. I truly believe love is the answer to everything, it makes everything better, and it brings out the best in people. The fact that I get to wake up everyday with the chance to give and receive love from my tiny human….I truly can’t describe the feeling.
  3. The Fun – I grew up basically as an only child and started staying home by myself in 5th grade. To say that it got lonely would be an understatement. I feel like I always had a little more energy than other kids my age and I always kinda thought it was because I was alone so much. I love getting goofy, silly, and weird with Jackson!! We have the best time playing around!! I also still love watching Disney movies and cartoons so it all really works out.

How ADORABLE is this picnic setup by @holadarlinsoiree?! Haley put together a fun afternoon for my mom friend Ella and our little ones! Haley is the owner of Hola Darlin’ and her passion for event planning shines through her energy and every little thought out detail in her setups. Her goal is to create the perfect soirees for small everyday occasions and she does it WONDERFULLY!! Ella and I had the absolute best time and enjoyed the tastiest snacks. These pictures will truly last a life time!! If you’re in Orange County looking for an event planner, Haley is your girl!!

Can’t Pinch This

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, y’all!! I may not be Irish but I’ve always loved celebrating this holiday! I may have celebrated a lot harder back in college than I do now, but we still make the most of the day. This year I threw together this cute tie front top from Forever 21 with this sequin skirt to spice it up a little bit. I added this white blazer to dress it up a tad and I honestly can’t decide if I I like the outfit better with or without it!

My necklace and earrings are from Bexo, which is a locally owned jewelry company that I have become OBSESSED with! The necklace I’m wearing seriously takes any outfit from drab to FAB!!! I personally know the owners of this company, and they are seriously COUPLE GOALS!! If you’re looking for that special gift for someone or to treat yourself, consider shopping small!!

Well today’s post is short and sweet!! I did take a cute St. Patrick’s Day picture I wanted to share with y’all. It’s a replica of a picture I took a coupe of years ago. Let’s just say it was WAY more difficult to take this picture now, versus when Jackson couldn’t move. LOL.
