{This post contains affiliate links.} Hi friends! Here's my attempt at packing light for our trip this week to the beach. It's SO hard for me to pack light. I always want to pack the best of the best, my favorite outfits, pieces and more, but that's not practical when traveling {especially when you're traveling with little ones, too... So here's my go at packing light, and packing everything I need in my carry-on suitcase {for our road trip} to Florida. As I'm preparing for our beach getaway, I'm trying to keep one thing in mind, to keep it simple! I'm trying to pick pieces out of my wardrobe which can be easily worn a few ways. So what am I packing you ask? We will be at the beach for a wee

{This post is sponsored, but as always, all opinions are my own.} Hi friends! Happy first day of Spring! Today I wanted to share a little bit about my recent spring/early Easter shopping trip to the White Oaks Mall here in Springfield, IL. I took my little ones with me for a fun day of shopping, and we even got to see the Easter bunny! I also found a few of the cutest spring pieces while we were at the mall. I snagged some cute tops for myself {an adorable polka dot cardigan from Loft, the cutest blush eyelet sweater from H&M, and simple lace cami from White House Black Market} and a few darling little dresses for Karsyn from H&M. These are going to be perfect basics for this spring! I love

Hi friends! I'm so happy it's Friday! Our vacation is right around the corner and I've snagged a few adorable spring accessories which are going to be on major repeat! I thought I would go ahead and share my current spring favorites. Everything is adorable and completely affordable! {This post contains affiliate links.} Currently I'm loving these woven mules {only $25}, this adorable wood clutch {only $25 with free shipping}, and I snagged this amazing hat from Anthro which sadly already sold out... But lucky you, I've found a few more adorable hat options! All of these pieces are great neutrals, great for spring and all year round... I love finding simple and affordable style pieces, and I

Three years ago today I became a mommy for the first time to the sweetest little bundle of joy I had ever laid eyes on, our daughter, Karsyn Anne! I can't even believe our sweet girl is THREE today! These days are crazy and a little chaotic at times, but I wouldn't trade these busy moments for anything! There is this sweet little voice which constantly calls for me all day long saying, 'mommy, mommy, mommy'... This makes me so happy! These are the beautiful days... Happy Birthday to my sweet baby, Karsyn! You are my mini-me, and I'm so thankful God chose me to be your mama! Never lose your sass or your spunky personality!

{This post is sponsored, but as always, all opinions are of my own.} Hi friends! The kiddos and I have had a slow Tuesday morning, which is just what we needed after a busy birthday weekend. Our new Toki play mat arrived in the mail end of last week, and I just couldn't wait to use it! This is an eco-friendly mat which is super easy to use. I love the fact that it's easy to get out and play with... It's made out of incredibly soft material too, perfect for playtime! But once the kiddos and I are done with playtime, this mat easily folds up and can be stored away. Love that! This is such an adorable piece to have! Not only does my sweet one year old son love playing with his trucks and cars o

Hi friends! I'm craving a vacation STAT. I'm so happy we have a trip to the beach planned at the end of this month... This mama is ready for some fun in the sun! As I'm starting to think about possible outfits for our upcoming trip {I try and plan a little ahead if I can}, I'm adding a few new pieces to my clothing rack which I keep in my craft room/mama office {as I'm sure you've seen in the background of some of my photos}... I LOVE to change up my wardrobe as the seasons change here in Illinois. With that, I tend to change what pieces I'm currently crushing on, so I'm constantly updating and changing up my clothing rack! Love this! I'm so happy to finally be able to pull out a few dresses

This is a sponsored post by Infantino, but as always, all opinions are my own. Hi friends! Today I wanted to share with you this adorable seat and activity table which my kiddos have been loving lately, The Go GaGa Sit, Spin & Stand Entertainer 360 Seat & Activity Table! This table is offered exclusively online and in-store at Target. It's so fun watching my little ones play and interact together with this toy! This activity table is the perfect piece to help entertain my sweet Griffin {who just turned one}, he loves being able to spin 360 degrees in his little chair! He also loves exploring the interactive toys that this table has... It even has a light up feature which plays music with fun

Our baby boy turned ONE on Saturday! How can that be?! I can't believe we now have a ONE YEAR OLD! We spent the day eating cake and jamming out to our favorite tunes, having a kitchen dance party and we also had some fun at the park with our sweet birthday boy! Life is so much sweeter with our Griffin Edward in it! Happy Birthday to our fun loving, always smiling, sweet baby boy! You'll forever be our baby! We love you so much! This past year has been absolutely wonderful, full of so many great milestones and memories that I'll forever cherish! Happy happy day! Xo! -Thee Girl in Yellow, Kasey
