Good morning and happy Friday!  How is everyone’s week going? Zahra was out of school Tuesday and Wednesday so it threw my whole week off but it’s been a busy and fun one. She had the time of her life at the zoo and even caught the lion being fed which she still hasn’t stopped talking about and we went to school to have lunch with Zain. It was one of the more precious things I’ve seen, ha. Zain picked out her outfit in the morning and she was so thrilled to see his friends and get to walk up in line and pick things out.  Sadly Trevor is on call this weekend but the weather is suppos ..read more

I feel like Mother’s Day always sneaks up on us here in Louisville because there is so much commotion leading up to Derby weekend that it feels chaotic and then it’s here. I got a few requests to share gift ideas for the moms or mother like figures in your life but wanted to do something more helpful than your standard product roundup so I asked you! These responses did not disappoint and there are so many fabulous ideas here, I hope it’s helpful.    What you sent in:    Clay handprints of kids hands   Massage or Nail Salon gift card    Hotel staycation alon ..read more

Good morning and hope you all are having a lovely start to your Saturday!  Trevor was on call last weekend and several times this past week and it felt like an avalanche. I am so thrilled he is off work and we can enjoy a sunny weekend with the kids. Our porch is almost complete and we can use it this weekend which is a dream come true, I think we will end up living out there during the summer. I actually just ordered this to hopefully prevent flies because we don’t have a screen door yet and know the kids will be in and out so much! This weekend is the Air & Water Show and Thun ..read more

Good morning and HELLO FRIDAY!  This week has been a tsunami and it continues today but I am starting the day getting back to yoga and that has me in a much better mood. I haven’t been in months but the Friday Flow with Stephanie at 502 Yoga is one of my favorites and I need the release. I know I shared briefly about the loss my family has been experiencing lately and the grief and anxiety that accompanies that has been a lot over the past year. I am working on a much longer post around the subject and my personal experience but did get several questions about exactly what happened and w ..read more

Good morning and hello from Nashville! We came down for a few nights to get away for Spring Break and take the kids to Sound Waves, the water park at Opryland. I will admit, I am not someone who has ever wanted to go to a water park but I had so many friends rave about this spot and they weren’t wrong. It’s a true paradise for kids and the Opryland grounds itself are like an indoor greenhouse that is lovely to walk around. I love that we can wander around and grab dinner and a drink after playing in the water all day, so convenient! I also found the park lovely and very clean plus not overly ..read more

Good morning and happy FRIDAY!  We are officially on Spring Break and Zahra is out of school today, I truly feel like with my children in different schools we haven’t had a full week since we came back in January. I am thrilled because it is supposed to be sunny and 70º today so I think I am going to take us on a little lunch date and then explore the zoo.  As for Spring Break next week we are headed to Nashville for a few days! We thought about taking a larger trip but by the time we found out Trevor had the week off so many things were sold out and everything seemed like it was go ..read more

Good morning and hello Saturday!  How is everyone’s weekend? Trevor took Zain to Pizza Bingo at his school last night so Zahra and I had a little girls night at home and I absolutely loved it. I don’t know about you but when I only have one of my children with me it feels so free and fun, ha! We are off to swim and birthday parties today but I can not wait to get home and get back into Palm Royale, I am in love with the wardrobe.  Things I love around the web:    Palm Royale: Wait Until You See These Jaw-Dropping Scenes With Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, and Carol Bur ..read more

Good morning! How is everyone’s week going? Zain was home yesterday with Strep but is feeling much better and thrilled to go to Pizza Bingo tonight. I probably answered about 10 hours of bingo questions yesterday As for today’s post I know I asked you all to send in your favorite workwear pieces since that is a hot topic I am always seeing requests for and wanted to round those up for you today!  I included a few of my favorites although my work wardrobe usually consists of scrubs! Once upon a time I dressed in business casual for work but quickly let that go for scrubs that basically f ..read more

Hello and happy Friday!  After a glorious week of sunshine, the rain has arrived and I’m not thrilled about it. Zain is off school today and Monday and I truly feel like he hasn’t had many full weeks of school since we came back in January. I think we’re going to go swim inside for a bit this morning so he can burn off some energy and then maybe have lunch together. I’m also thrilled because Trevor and I have a date planned which I’m not sure has happened since we went to Blackberry Mountain at the start of January. Isn’t it wild how that happens? We have reservations at Enso and couldn ..read more
