Let's talk about running three brands at once. And wearing the hats of Mom, Wife, Sunday School teacher, friend and homeowner. It's a big struggle.

As trivial as it is to talk weather- we all know it deeply impacts our day to day life. This Winter has been especially cloudy here in Missouri and it has made this a particularly difficult past few months. Usually Missouri winters are cold, but sunny. This winter- no sun. And the sun makes a difference!

I'm so excited to share our new Nickel and Suede Spring products with you today! Talk about Happy Monday! If you are like me- March couldn't come soon enough. Spring is officially arriving this month so I can officially justify any and all Spring wardrobe purchases in the next few weeks.

Over the weekend I spend some time on a plane and for a rare couple of hours I got to read a book. We checked into our flight too late to sit next to each other so Soren and I both bought some reading material and had some alone time.

Holy cow- it's date night. Not only date night, but it's getaway time. We get a date, in another state, for 24 hours kid free. I can't wait. I've mentioned before that Soren surprised me with tickets to Maroon 5 in Nashville for Valentine's Day and it's already here.

Sharing a dramatic, smokey eye that you can recreate for any upcoming night out or fun event.

I'm all kinds of behind schedule today. Kesler was up crying all night with an ear infection so of course I was up crying all night too. Ok, maybe not crying, but I was up. My big plans of finishing Sunday's style post last night were tossed out the window and here we are. Sunday Style on Monday.

Today I'm sharing a tutorial for my favorite way to style my hair since cutting it into a long pixie- curled with a flat iron.

As much as I try to get dressed everyday- I'll admit I have my schlumpy slouch habits. They include the above- a gray tee of some kind, a cardigan and ripped jeans.
