Jacket and leggings: Carbon 38, c/o

You guys are well aware that I am not the most avid of exercisers.

However I love athletic wear for running errands, etc, when I don't feel like getting fully dressed-

which is 85% of the time;)
I really adore Carbon 38's new line. Give them a look, you won't be disappointed!

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas week!

We made it to Alabama a couple of days ago, and man.

That drive from SC with a toddler...

it's a doozie.

If any of you have suggestions for car travel with littles I'd appreciate it so much.

Now time for food, family, and more food.

{P.S. We're taking today off for the Link Up but will be back next week}

Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday, guys!
I thought I'd give a little Instagram recap of what's been happening lately:)
Of course I'm that mom that had to opt for the matching Christmas pajamas.
I know you are all not surprised.

A busy week of parties and last minute errands for us before
we head to Alabama for the holidays.
Sooo excited for Hugh's second Christmas!


P.S. We will be taking a break from next week's link-up to spend
 time with our families, but we'll see everyone back here Dec. 30th!

I love this time of the year but cold season, not so much:/

Thank you, sweet husband, for taking such good care of Hugh and me this week!

As far as Christmas to-do's,

I've almost wrapped up all of my shopping.

Just need to finish up a couple of things for Hugh.

 December is flying, guys!

Our little Christmas family.

Any time we get to see our sweet friend Leah of Lea Nicole Photography, it's always a good day.

I met Leah on a local magazine shoot and we've been dear friends ever since.

Sometimes you just click with another soul and that was definitely the case here:)

We've partnered with her here + here and were thrilled to do this little Christmas shoot.

Merry Christmas and God bless, sweet friends.

Thanks for visiting today!

Date night prep...

Prep essentials: Silk'n Flash&Go, It Cosmetics Contour Kit, MAC Brozing Powder, MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick-Fashion Pack, MAC Dazzleglass-Sugarrimmed, Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Mascara, NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliner,
 + I love sipping a glass of bubbly while I get ready;) *You can also find my leopard robe here* 

Date night-

Jonathan and I live for it. 

 Since having Hugh, it's the best time for us to get back to being "us."

My husband is a notorious foodie, so date nights

 absolutely always include a yummy dinner:)

Being in a new area we're very excited to explore 

the restaurant scene here in South Carolina!

I also wanted to share a little peek into my date night prep.

Of course a clean shaven leg is always involved...

I don't know about you guys but I hate shaving. I loathe it.

I was thrilled when I came across the Flash&Go.

It's a hair removal system I've fallen in love with because of its painless, professional results.

Best part-with extended use the results are permanent. No more razors....rejoice!!

Hopefully my sister and in-laws aren't stopping by today's post because I plan 

on gifting a couple for Christmas this year, haha;)

Right now is a great time to take advantage!

You can purchase Silk'n Flash&Go at Bed Bath & Beyond or Kohl's in store or online.

Here's the best part...

go to keepongifting.com, upload a copy of your receipt

and you will receive a $25 gift card to the retailer of your choice- 

this offer can be redeemed up to three times.

{You'll also be entered to win a trip for 2 to Aruba...yayeah!}

If you decide to shop in store; I located mine at Bed Bath & Beyond in the beauty section, up front.

Best of luck and keep me posted on your hair removal experience as well!
