Fashion, Home Decor & Life as I know it!
The N-Sale is always a good time to grab gifts for upcoming holidays and for me this year it will be all about the babies and maybe grabbing a few cozy items for me and the hubs since we’ll have a new baby this winter and won’t be going many…
I know this year everyone is so anxious to have big July 4th celebrations after a crappy 2020, I know we are! We have my brother-in-laws family coming in from out of town and my immediate family to coming celebrate the 4th at the Country Club we belong to with…
I’ve been holding in the biggest secret – we’re PREGNANT!! Let me start with saying I know how hard this day (Mother’s Day) for some people can be. I do not take this day for granted and if you don’t want to read on any further if it’s a trigger,…
Before the pandemic hit I had just started getting back into working after having my daughter 4.5 months prior. A girlfriend and I worked out for a solid 2 months at out our local gym, we even went to the gym and breakfast the morning Illinois shut down! It was…
Before MJ was born, her room used to be our guest room and I used that closet for all of my clothes because I was a nice wife and gave my husband our master closet. I quickly realized as my due date with MJ was closing in that the closet…
*Trigger Warning* I started this blog to write about affordable clothes, home decor, maybe some recipes here and there because writing about anything is kind of a therapy for me. So as hard as this subject is to write about, it’s something that 1 in 4 of every woman faces…

This t-shirt is such a great reminder to not only be kind to others but it reminded me to be kind to myself. I need to know when to give myself some credit! I’ve gone through so much in life unfortunately and sometimes you just need to slow down, take…
Since most of our states are under orders to stay in as much as possible it makes it a little hard for some ladies to get your nails done. As much as I love a good pampering, I’ve actually been doing my own nails on and off since I was…
Finally worked on getting our nursery details up now that our little girl is 2 months old! Better late than never I suppose! I had so much fun decorating the nursery, once it was finally ready to decorate that is. It took us up until a month and a half…
Best part – You can style this as Maternity or Non-Maternity! I finally went through all of my clothes and donated BAGS of stuff that I’ve been just holding on to saying “I’ll definitely wear this soon” (Insert eye rolls, especially from my hubs here!) HAHAH It’s totally a joke,…
Faux leather leggings have become a staple in a lot of closests lately. I have a handful of different brands and the Spanx Faux leather leggings (this is not sponsored, promise) quickly became a favorite of mine at the beginning of the year. I bought mine at Nordstrom, but…
Well, hello there! THIS is my very first blog post and I’m so freaking excited to have my site officially launched! My name is Elyse and I’m the girl behind this lovely little blog about life as I know it. I’ve been wanting to start my own blog for quite…
