Back to real life and what feels like the fall now (even if it’s still 88 today - but it’s coming!) after a fun holiday weekend. These pants were one of my birthday gifts last year and I’ve gotten SO MUCH wear out of them year round

Monday off to a good start with a basic outfit that feels like ME

Happy birthday weekend to me!

This fun dress is perfect for the end of summer (I’m wearing a S - my normal size is an XS but it wasn’t available in an XS and the S fits surprisingly well).

A short sleeve AND a long sleeve tee that’s perfect for layering and simple outfits? #WalmartPartner

Sign me up!

Even better when the short sleeve is $5 and the long sleeve is under $8!

This ribbed tee is $5 from @walmartfashion and it is SO GOOD (plus it comes in several colors!) #WalmartPartner

#WalmartFashion

I love a good tee and I REALLY love a good black tee. #WalmartPartner

And when it is $5? Sign me up! @walmartfashion knocked it out of the park with this one ❤️

#WalmartFashion

I am a total tee snob AND I don't want to spend a fortune on them. #WalmartPartner

This @walmartfashion tee - which comes in a 2 pack for $10! - absolutely blew me away.

It hits all the right notes for me. Sleeves that are longer than a cap sleeve, long enough to tuck in but not so long that it shows weird lines under pants or skirts, a v neck sleeve that's flattering but not super low, and a great rib that helps it hold its shape.

Plus it comes in several color options, including some fun fall ones.

And did I immediately order the long sleeve version? Yes.

#WalmartFashion

Red shoes make a basic outfit pop ❤️

Plus this $5 tee is my new favorite - I immediately ordered the long sleeve version too!

Loving this top! (And it’s an extra 20% off right now)

This dress was the luckiest thredup find - I’ve linked similar ones below.

And these shoes are a smoking deal. I’m tempted to get the black velvet ones for the holidays!

Brunch this morning and then off to the lake to squeeze in a few more hours of sunshine

This purple shirt is from All Saints but I bought it on thredup and can’t find the same one for sale anymore.

Also, these sandals - my favorite! - are on sale right now

Busy Friday to get ready for the weekend!

This sweater is ooold from StitchFix but I’ve linked similar options below!!

August best sellers!

People have been asking me about remote page turners for Kindle readers for AGES (and the people who have them RAVE about them!).

I finally snagged two on Prime Day (one for me and one for her!) and they’re so fun!

Perfect for snuggling under a blanket or using on a treadmill or even going the full distance and getting a stand for your Kindle so it just hovers above you as you sit on the couch or lie in bed!

My mom used this type of chart back when she homeschooled my siblings and me 30 years ago!

When we decided to homeschool our kids this year, I searched around until I figured out what they were called (“incentive charts”) and ordered this set of 16 - here’s how we’ll be using them!

I just kept waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to suck me in. . . .and it never did.

Some books surprise me by feeling way outside my normal reading tastes (like Remarkably Bright Creatures) and then they just swoop in and delight me.

This book had no swoop.

It just went on and on and on and on and I breathed a sigh of relief when it was over and I could move on to the next book.

If you read this and loved it, tell me what I missed!

Best skirt that’s marked down from $95 to $29! True to size

Lake day while we still can - these warm days are numbered!

These shoes are my all-time favorite sandals for pool/lake/waterpark/boat days - I’ve had mine for three years and they’re the best (and great for everyday wear too!). They’re on rare sale today and have lots of color options!

This dress was a great steal on clearance from Gap this summer - I think it’s mostly sold out but I’ve linked some similar options.

Also I LOVE those red flats which are under $15 (I’m usually a 6 but I got a 6.5 in these because the 6s were a bit tight)

My whole life, whenever she buys something cute, my mom loves to say, "I've still got it!" #WalmartPartner

And when she brought me these cute sneakers from @WalmartFashion this weekend, I thought, "you've still got it!"

They come in a bunch of colors - neutrals and more bright options! - and they're under $20.

I cannot believe how cute they are. I'll be wearing these all through the rest of the summer and fall too!

#WalmartFashion

I’m FLOORED by how cute these sneakers are from @walmartfashion! #WalmartPartner

My mom gave them to me and proved, once again, that she has fantastic taste!

They’re under $20 and come in a ton of color options!

#WalmartFashion

These sneakers from @walmartfashion are under $20 and ridiculously cute! #WalmartPartner

What color would you pick? #WalmartFashion

My mom loves to say “I’ve still got it!” And when she gave me these cute @walmartfashion sneakers (they’re under $20!), she proved she definitely does! #WalmartPartner

These are the navy and white version but they come in a bunch of color options!!

#WalmartFashion

This Madewell dress is so easy and comfy (and Madewell has a huge sale going on right now!)

There are also some excellent Amazon versions I’ve linked below!

If you have a Yoto Player you might want this handy $13.99 travel case to make your life easier! A few other options as well that look just as great!

I was shocked how much I loved Remarkably Bright Creatures. If you were in the same camp, here are a bunch of other titles you might want to try!

We bought our Ninja Creami on @walmart last year and we use it almost daily! #WalmartPartner

Definitely a worthwhile investment for our family - we LOVE it and it's on sale right now.

My teenager especially loves a protein packed after-dinner snack and we're all happy to share the creations she comes up with!

This recipe for Double Chocolate Covered Strawberry Creami was a HUGE hit - both my teen and I said it was the best one we've ever made (and we've made a lot!). #WalmartPartner

The Ninja Creami is on sale on @walmart right now and we love this machine year round! #WalmartMustHaves
