The Trader Joe’s Haul
Alright, gang, as promised--albeit a little delayed---sharing what are my favorite Go-To's when I hit up Trader Joe's. With every trip I tend to find a new gem, but these items are more or less my staples:
The Conrad Indianapolis -- Girls Day Out
What better place than the Conrad Indianapolis to spend a Girl's Day Out with some of my best Indy Gals? We had zero fun can't you tell--I truly don't think we shut our yaps from the moment we arrived?! Lordy it's a wonder they didn't kick us outta there with all our gabbing and giggling
FASTer Way to Fat Loss - The Fitness Journey Update
Nothing like a fresh start to the week to get you moving and shaking! I'm coming to you this Tuesday with a little fitness journey update regarding the Bootcamp I've been doing since I was 6 weeks postpartum (for your reference, images above are 15 weeks postpartum). It's been a wonderful experience thus far and I've been so pleased with the results
Calvin's Four Months
Happy F O U R M O N T H S to our big boy! I'm not going to dwell (read: SOB) on the fact that this time has truly flown by and I wish it would come to a screeching halt, but rather focus on all of this sweet boy's fun facts, milestones, and how he truly has brightened our family in ways we could've never imagined
The Casual Weekend Outfit
In the event you've been wondering why the hell I haven't posted in a while, welllllll....that would be because
The Casual Blush Pullover
Having quite the Love Fest with this Blush Pullover as we embark on the winter home stretch. It's one of those items that is oddly flattering even though it's got an oversized boyfriend fit...I'm convinced it's the popped collar and the feminine shade
The Sleep Trainer
"Calvin wants to sleep just like you and me. He just doesn't know how. We have to teach him." And it was with those words that I knew, Ashley was going to help us sleep train our boy.
Shades of Pink
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, 'tis the season to sport all kinds of pink. Be it in the form of this blazer or these kicks, either one would be perfect for Vday and all of spring for that matter.
Think Pink Coat
How can you not love pink? It's so cheery, feminine, and just a happy hue don't you think? I also think it's such a fun pairing with stripes, red, navy, orange, and L E O P A R D. It's terribly girly which is exactly why I love the bubblegum goodness
The Friday Favorites
Something I'd like to do each week is share items I've either snagged (and love) or have my eye on....whether it be "The Friday Faves," "The Monday Musts," or "The Wednesday Wish," this will be a no muss no fuss series, but one worth sneaking a peek. And with that, let's jump right into The Friday's Faves.....
FASTer Way to Fat Loss: The Postpartum Fitness
Coming to you live 12 weeks postpartum on the tail end of my first (post Calvin) round of the Faster Way to Fat Loss. So here's the deal, gang, mama packed on a solid 40 plus pounds and man did I love every peanut butter, swedish fish, joella's fried chicken infused moment of it. Until I didn't
The 2017 Highlights Reel
So I think it's pretty safe to say that 2017 will go down as one of my best years yet! Not quite sure how 2018 can even begin to hold a candle to the birth of our sweet little bundle, John adopting the bunnies, or mom and pip making the cover of Redbook! It was a whirlwind of year but in the most beautiful way imaginable
The Seasonal Sales
I'm not sure about y'all, but I'm quite sad Christmas is over...it truly was such a special day with the crew--I hope yours was equally as lovely spent with those you love most. But here's a silver lining to the end of the holiday season....the end of the holiday season S A L E S
The Olive Suede
Coming 'atcha late Friday night as I can't seem to fall asleep soooo...why not post up this cozy, casual look that would be perfect for your holiday weekend! But before we dive into my love of this SUEDE, I wanted to briefly mention why I've been a tad MIA on s + s.....nothing earth shattering but truth be told
The Sale Sweaters
Sharing two heavily repeated knits in today's post which just so happen to be on M E G A sale! We're talking 50% off both my Blue and Red Sweaters
The Best Black Friday Deals & Steals
Coming in H O T with some major Steals and Deals this Black Friday slash Weekend. Lordy there's a boatload of goodness...I'm going to do my best to break it up by sites I'll be shopping. These would be fab gifts for your mom, gal pal, sis in law, daughter (depending on age), or yourself of course
Our Adoption Story: We Are the Chappos
Man, gang, this one overwhelms me right from the start. Probably more so than Calvin's Birthstory, our Wedding Day, or any of my other personal posts. I'd say it's because October 18th was a day I never really thought imaginable I suppose. For those of you that have followed s + s for sometime, you're well aware of our journey...and you've been supportive as hell throughout it all. But for those of you that are new, I won't dwell on the past, but the gals and I have overcome our fair share of heartache in recent year's past
3 Classic Trendy Coats
Making the case for snagging your outerwear N O W. Because N O W is when the major S A L E S are taking place. Per the pics above, you'll see that these are great investments as you'll wear them season after season
The Shopbop Sale
If y'all could only see the current situation as I'm scrambling to get this post out...let's just say I've got an adorable little critter on me snoozing but dangit all--this SALE is TOO GOOD to not share S T A T! We're talking the Shopbop Buy More Save More...as in up to 30% OFF SALE! Hot Damn did I stock up
