I have been anxiously awaiting Taylor Swift's next tour and couldn't be more excited to attend the Eras Tour in July. I've been gathering my Eras Tour outfit ideas for night 1 and 2 because I am hoping to score some last minute tickets so I can attend both nights when she's performing in Santa Clara. I was one of the many who, due to Ticketmaster crashing was unable to secure the tickets I had in my cart. It was so stressful and also terribly infuriating to watch the clock count down as I was trying to check the box required to submit my ticket order and it never registering. I didn't only let myself down but also my SIL who I was trying to get tickets for us both to attend....so even though the tickets aren't secured yet, I know I will be there it will just depend on how much I end up needing to spend to go. I'm also planning ... Read more...

Cooper had a practice round on his birthday so he knew what was up when we put the cake in front of him for his photos. I still can't get over how much cake he consumed and how it didn't seem to phase him. If you want to see how similar our boys are and look back at Mason's cake smash photoshoot you can check out the pictures here. Scroll ... Read more...

It's that time of year again, the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and like prior years I've got all the tips! I've changed my shopping habits over the years and am really limiting what I am purchasing during the NSALE.
