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! 💙💙

We swam, we fished, we played lots of card games, We swam, we fished, we played lots of card games, and we ate an obscene amount of Publix cuban sandwiches and fried chicken. 🏝️🐠🎣🐚🌊 Not pictured: the giant angry birds that Nate went to war with everytime he stepped out front.

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

Pieces of The Days // Getting By


It’s hard to blog when things are shitty, friends. There’s really no other way to put it. Sometimes “shitty” is the only fitting word for a bad situation, and this is one of those times. My Father-in-law has cancer, as most of you know, and things have been really extra hard lately. I haven’t really been able to figure out how to work the events of the past week or so into the life that I share on this blog, so I just haven’t.

I miss blogging, y’all. I haven’t posted in a quite a while and yet, I still continue to get sweet comments on my most recent outfit post. Seriously – you guys really don’t know how much you’ve brightened some of my darker days recently, even for just a minute! It’s the simple things.

I’m not sure what’s ahead for our family over the next month, but I know I want to blog as much as I can – when the sun comes out, so to speak. I want to have something to work on- writing, outfits, photography – things that are pretty insignificant but make me feel happy. This is my favorite time of the year for all of those things, after all.

We’re heading to Disney World on the 15th for a week. Tim, my FIL, insisted that he take our entire family to Disney – so we’re dropping everything and making it happen. I feel extremely blessed that Nate and I are in the position to be able to do that. Even in sad times, I’m excited to experience one of my favorite places on earth with all of them. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that Tim will continue to feel well enough to enjoy this trip! Xo.

    I just found you a couple of days ago, so I had no idea, I'm so sorry to hear this and truly hope that he (and all of you) will be able to enjoy this special family outing that obviously means a lot to him 🙂

    I'm so sorry stuff has been tough for you guys lately, my thoughts are with you all. Your FIL sounds pretty awesome though, dragging everyone to Disney despite everything. I hope stuff looks up for you all soon xo

    Stay positive. Keep your head up. Your FIL would much rather see you smile than to see you cry. 😉 Have fun at Disney! Epcot has their Food & Wine festival going on. Just sayin!

    Very sorry for the troubles you're having in your life right now. Try keeping your chin up. And you're right – sometimes the only word to describe it all is SHITTY.

    Hi Stephanie! How are you? I received an automatically created mail which said that you didn't get my message. Good to hear you received it anyway. The news over here are full of Sandy – hopefully it will be over soon. Have a lovely day! 🙂
