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!

I've got a measurable bump these days. If you could see me in my sweats right now you'd agree. But I've been working on hiding it a little and I think I've found a few ways. They'll all be in an upcoming post- but one of them I'm employing today.

Can you tell I've been getting back to feeling like myself a bit? If you follow along on IG you've noticed I'm sharing quite a few more #everydaystyle posts and part of that comes from feeling better- and part from buying bigger clothes that I feel better in.

This year Mother's Day falls on May 10th. It will be an extra special day for us because my oldest also turns 6. He came into this world 6 years ago and made me a mother for the first time. And the day he was born was also Mother's Day.

I did happen to stop into the thrift store on a search for something unique the other day and although these shoes didn't work for what I had in mind- they did come home with me. I am a sucker for lace-ups and espadrilles so these are just fun shoes for me. And they were a deal!

For the last few month's we've been working on making Mother's Day special at Nickel & Suede. So many women and their moms love our earrings- we just had to celebrate them and their special day.

I picked up this long cardigan in my shopping frenzy to find some items I felt good wearing to Go Blog Social- a blog conference here in Kansas City at the beginning of April. I wasn't sure what look I was going for- especially since I was speaking- but I wanted some fresh things that felt like me and I felt comfortable in.

This Spring the white button up has returned to the spotlight. And I think it's a great item to refresh your wardrobe with. However, an item that is white and requires ironing is a little too high maintenance for me at this time of life.

I recently received an email from a momma that really touched me. In fact as soon as I read it I thought, I need to write a post about this. She is also a mother of three boys and wrote about her struggle to decided whether to try again for a girl. Part of her email is below...
