One of my favorite trends from last year is still going strong. I love that trends usually carry over for a few years and it's often the second or third year that they really become approachable. I'm talking about menswear, and today I've got one piece you can add to your wardrobe to really make a statement and try out the trend.

I'm trying to get in some last-minute moments of fun so I'm planning on taking the boys to Science City today. This is one of the places I put on a recent blog post about things to do in Kansas City.

We're almost done with our back to school shopping, but one of my favorite traditions is our back to school one-on-one dates. Today, Easton and I are enjoying a treat and we're sharing our back to school picks (and pics) from JCPenney with you.

As soon as mid-July hits, you can be sure I've already shifted from Summer to Fall. I'm ready to shop for sweaters, long sleeves, new jeans and more. My brain turns to Fall colors, cozy knits, suede and distressed jeans.

Today we have new arrivals at Nickel & Suede that will totally get you ready for all things Fall. We're bringing in some of my FAVORITE colors and textures of the season today and you aren't going to want to miss out!

If you've been following along with our journey through the last year, you know that our youngest son was born with a cleft lip and palate. I've been trying to document much of what we have gone through and our experience through it all.

You know how you think Summer is going to be slow and lazy and relaxing and then it's not at all? :) It's actually quite busy and bustling and fast paced? Yeah, that's about been my Summer.

Over the years we've had to come up with a few name lists, and while we've always had boys to name, we certainly expected to name a girl at some point. That point hasn't arrived, but you all loved our Ultimate List of Baby Boy Names post so much that I knew I needed to share one for girls.

Today we are packing up for a trip to Montana tomorrow. We fly out in the morning and will land in Kalispell sometime tomorrow afternoon. We've never been to Montana before so we are pretty excited!
