As a work-at-home mom I feel like I get to experience the best of all worlds. I love being with my kids all day at home and doing the things that I did as an exclusively stay-at-home mom.

School is back in session today here in Liberty and we now have a first grader in the house. Easton and Kesler are two years apart in school so Kesler still won't start Kindergarten until next year. (Hallelujah!)

I've decided this week to set some goals. Monday's always show up with full to-do lists and messes to recover from the weekend. So this week I'm setting a few personal goals and I think they'll make a difference in the overall week. And how I feel in general!

One way to make it feel like Spring is to start pulling out the brighter colors and to show a little more skin. This neon sweater is one I picked up a few years ago and the color is one of my favorites.

Over the last few months, I've been working on improving the photos on my blog. Maybe you can't tell because of the grainy cell phone pics you still see sometimes, but I have.

I'm ringing in the New Year with a little more color than usual today. I've got my eye on a lot of fringe and leopard print this coming year and these two accessories together are just right for pulling together a basic Target tee and dark skinny denim.

I love plaid in the fall, but for some reason, I've always felt like red buffalo print plaid was exclusively for the holidays. I wore these pants last Christmas, but I recently realized I could pull them out before December.

As much as I love Hallmark, I rarely shop at their card stores. I buy Hallmark cards for birthdays and events, but most other things at their card shops don't fit my taste. I wasn't sure what to expect from HMK, but I can say that I was very pleasantly surprised and would love to shop there again.
