I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Turning Dreams Into Plans.


♥

I adore this little quote. Don’t you? I think sometimes it’s just so much easier to believe that the things that we want to accomplish are just out of our reach. If you don’t try then you don’t have to fail, right? Wrong. I can be guilty of living my life this way, but I can tell that I’ve gotten so much better about believing in myself. I owe a lot of that to this blog and my readers, honestly! So, I’ve decided that I’m going in to this upcoming year (that will be here before you can blink!) with a different attitude than what comes fairly naturally to me. I’m going to keep trying, even when I feel like I can’t. I’m going to blog, even if I never get another comment or follower. I’m going to keep dressing for me (and Nate, I care about his opinion. *wink*) because it’s a major part of who I am and how I express myself. I’m going to be successful at the things I want to do because I’m going to give them my all. But also, I’m going to learn how to better measure “success”. I don’t want to set any unrealistic goals this New Years. I just want to be a more focused and less anxious version of myself, and I’ve got a whole month to work on it. ;]

Do you need to turn a few can’ts into cans? Let’s work on this together!
