Ahhh! Finally feels like Fall here! Well, at least in the mornings. 😆 So, leggings and layers it is today!

It’s that time of year here where it can feel like multiple seasons in just one day.

It’s also that time of year where we’re getting our Halloween costumes ready, picking up pumpkins to decorate and ordering all things Christmas at the same time!

My husband came to check on me the other day.

I was standing in my office getting ready to go LIVE on another channel. I was super excited but also super nervous. Public speaking is way out of my comfort zone.

I was the kid in grade school that dreaded standing in front of the class to explain my school project. And I was the girl in pharmacy school that wore a turtleneck on days I had to give a presentation so that people wouldn’t see the nervous red rash that would appear on my neck when I spoke.

The plan was for me to livestream from my office while my husband and the kids were watching from a computer in the other room.

As I worked up my nerve, my husband came to see if I was having technical difficulties, and I laughed and told him it was just me getting cold feet.

After a quick pep talk from my husband and a few ‘spider hugs’ from my kids (where they jump in my arms and wrap their arms and legs all around me) I did it! I pressed that ‘go live’ button.

It wasn’t perfect, and there were definitely moments of awkwardness. At one point I thought I was just going to shut the computer and give up, but I did it! And I felt SO good after! I even went live a second time that week!

Challenging ourselves helps us grow. And I’m proud of myself for trying something that doesn’t come easy for me. And I couldn’t have done it without my three loves giving me courage, and knowing they’re there for me no matter what.

So I encourage you today to step outside of your comfort zone. Do the thing you’ve been putting off or try something new. Tell those who believe in you most so they can give you courage —and then go for it! No matter what happens, at least you tried!

You CAN do it!

Fall Fashion is my favorite! I love the different

Fall Fashion is my favorite! I love the different shoe options, layering pieces and ways to wear them!

And since tomorrow is the first official day of Fall, I thought I’d share 5 mix and match Fall Staples that are stylish and very versatile for the changing weather of the Season:

1) Button down shirt : as the weather transitions from Summer to Fall, a button down shirt can be layered over a tank, worn by itself , layered with a cardigan/vest, or tied around the waist.

Dress them up for work or down for the weekends. They pair well with jeans, leggings , skirts, dresses or dress pants.

2) Cardigan sweater : cardigans can be layered over tops, dresses, leggings and also tied around the waist. With the changing weather, a cardigan is easy to put on or take off depending on the temperature.

They can be worn casual with jeans or dressed up with work clothes for a business casual look.

3) Boots or Booties : A pair of boots or booties will take you through the Fall Season. They are great because they keep you warm in the cooler weather and can still be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

4) SPANX Faux Leather Leggings: these leggings literally go with just about everything! They can be dressed up or down and have endless ways of styling them. I’ve owned them for years—they’re my go-to leggings for Fall/Winter.

5) Jean Jacket: These are perfect for the changing seasons because they can be layered over maxi dresses in the summer, wrapped around the waist, or layered over tees, sweaters, and dresses into the Fall. They also make a great travel look paired with leggings or joggers and a tee.

What’s one of your Fall staples?

You can find more pictures and examples of each over on the blog!

It’s been months since I’ve organized our pant

It’s been months since I’ve organized our pantry.

And while it took me a while to get started, I’m SO happy I completed this project!

Because not only is it nice to look at every time I go in there, but it’s STAYED ORGANIZED!

And that’s the whole point, right?

I’ve written several blog posts on what I used and how I organized our pantry. If you’ve been wanting to organize your pantry too, my most recent blog post gives 10 Practical Tips for getting started.

I get asked a lot about our pantry and I’m always happy to help! So don’t hesitate to DM me!

Everything we used is on the blog or linked in the LTK app:)

The perfect match . . . Me and my ace:) IYKYK 🎾😉

Fun fact: I played tennis regularly in high school and college (using that exact racquet pictured ) - and even taught lessons.

I’m starting to teach my little ones about the game now and it’s been so much fun:)

Do you have a favorite sport or hobby you enjoy with your kids?
