I love a good sale— and these amazing open-toe booties I purchased at the end of summer/beginning of fall are now on sale for 40% off — and they’re perfect for the soon-to-be-rising temperatures. NORDSTROM’S winter sale is also on right now with many popular items up to 40% off! Check it out here.

A couple of weeks ago, we moved our vintage henry link bamboo dresser to Harper’s room and added this gold mirror. I love the way it turned out! It’s a great scale for her room.

I also got this amazing statement necklace that looks like broken sea glass fragments. It also comes in a gorgeous turquoise sea glass.
So probably the biggest “news” in this post is that I’ve started working out again — and this has been a long time coming.
Once I weaned from pumping, I wanted to work out again but I did not feel motivated at all. I knew I needed to start again — I was weak, had low energy and I remembered how much exercise helped with stress.
I finally felt ready a few weeks ago and I intended to start Kayla Itsine’s BBG program. After going through the guide, I realized it was way too intense for a beginner. So I decided to start seeing my personal trainer again to get myself back into shape with the guidance I knew I needed. I have several friends who all train at the same place, so it’s nice to have them to motivate me as well! I needed to get back to the basics and build up all of the muscle I had lost over the last almost four (!!!) years.
I was SO sore after my first few workouts, but I LOVE the feeling of getting back into a fitness routine again.
I’ll talk more about my workout schedule in an upcoming post, but since we’re on the topic, I feel compelled to share these amazing open-back tanks I purchased over the weekend. I got mine for 50% off during a promotion and they’re incredible. The have a slit down the back that you can leave open or tie up. I wore a tank underneath but you can also just throw it over a sports bra! I have the gray and black.

I also got the cutest shoes for Lincoln and bows for Harper from Sweet N’ Swag. The prices are super affordable and they’re very nice quality!
Lastly, I’m kind of obsessed with Marysia swimwear…and thinking of splurging on a suit for this summer…

Isn’t it gorgeous?! The back is scalloped too!
I hope your week is great so far— thanks for reading!
Your legs look amazing!!! And that swimsuit is so perfect!
I just wanted to thank you for the Let’s Flamingle Party sources and ideas. We have having our daughters 1st & 2nd birthday soon and I used your party as my blueprint! It helped so much for conveying ideas to my husband…try explaining why we need huge Flamingo balloons 🙂
That’s so awesome! I love “mingoes” as Harper calls them 🙂 That pic was taken when I was still pumping— my legs def don’t look like that anymore, haha 🙂
Have a great day!
Didn’t you splurge on a Mara Hoffman suit less than a year ago?
I sure did! I love that suit 🙂
Holy, those are nice suits but SOOOOOO expensive!!! yikes! its almost $450 canadian for a one piece.. yikes
Yes they are super pricey suits! The Canadian conversion is crazy 🙁 Maybe I can find a dupe somewhere but I don’t mind investing in a piece I really love every once in awhile since most of the clothes and accessories I buy are really affordable!
Good job getting back in the saddle working out! Have you ever done any of the Tone It Up videos? I think they are more manageable than BBG and there are so many of them. I usually do their videos on days I don’t have a class. I like that I can do them at home & that they have a ton that don’t require any equipment.

I have done TIU (I own the DVD!) For me, it’s more of a getting out of the house and being focused thing. When I’m at home I feel like I lack the motivation I need. I like coming to my training gym because there’s loud rap music and others working out which pushes me more. I totally WISH I was self-motivated and focused when it comes to working out but it just doesn’t work for me 🙁 Love TIU though! I have done their workouts at home in the past when I was already in good shape but couldn’t make it to bootcamp or whatever that day.
Good for you for beginning an exercise routine again! I think you’ll be encouraged to continue once you see the benefits exercising can have on your mood, energy level, sleep, etc. Go for it!
Thank you Monica! It’s much easier to stick with it when you have someone holding you accountable and getting you results with professional training 🙂 It’s a great investment in myself for sure!
