It’s been a few weeks since I shared a mommy and me look on the blog but have no fear, there’s no shortage of twinning moments IRL! ๐ The sweater set I am wearing also comes in the cream color Camila is wearing so if you are looking to match your mini exactly you can snag that color here!
These loungewear pieces are super soft. It basically feels like you are wearing a blanket!
Does Camila know how to serve looks or what?! She has the biggest, most beautiful, contagious smile but also can give the sass. So looking forward to more sass when she’s a teen…NOT! ๐
A dress so nice, I got it twice! This WAYF dress is so cute and flattering I needed it in both colors. Both prints are great for Fall and can be paired with booties, heels and tennis shoes! Win, win, win!
Do you wash everything before you wear it? Well, if you do, you might cringe at the fact that this dress arrived in the mail and I wore it immediately that same day lol. I meant to just try it on to make sure it fit and I loved it so much I kept it on! I am wearing a small here.
My cognac boots are from Red Dress Boutique last year so linking similar options below!
The kids love baking and even though it can get really messy in the kitchen when my little sous chefs are involved it is the best feeling seeing them so excited to help cook!
Today I am sharing an easy Fall inspired cupcake recipe that you and your kiddos will love!

In the past 2 weeks I have ordered so many cute pieces for sis from Amazon and I am so impressed with the quality I wanted to share some of our favorites!
Shop these items:
Not that I ever need a reason to shop ๐ but Camila is growing out of her clothes so fast! Plus she was a tiny little thing last Fall so she needs new boots and all the things! We are taking a trip to New York later this month so I immediately ordered a ton of NYC inspired outfits.
I also found this super cute unicorn toy for our neighbor friend who is celebrating her birthday this weekend and once Camila saw it, she asked for one so of course I got one for her too!
Sharing 9 empties with ya’ll today! Well, technically 7 empties because 2 I didn’t like so much that I ended up getting rid of the half full bottles! I usually use the products until they are completely gone but the two hair products I used for two weeks and kept trying to love them but I just couldn’t!
So let’s get to it!
Drunk Elephant C- Firma Day Serum
What It’s Supposed To Do: Reveal a brighter, firmer, and more even looking complexion. This potent 15% vitamin C day serum packed with antioxidants, nutrients, and fruit enzymes work to visibly firm, brighten, and improve the signs of photoaging.
How To Use: Apply evenly to a clean, dry face, neck and chest in the mornings. Also, note with any vitamin C serum, I recommend not stocking up on these products (yes, even when they go on major sale!) because the pure, l-ascorbic acid is best when fresh!
My Opinion: I already ordered another bottle! After just a few days I started to notice my skin brightening and feeling more firm. It has definitely helped with my smile lines and I already ordered another bottle!
Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2
What It’s Supposed To Do: As we age, complexion creates less of certain lipids, resulting in a loss of facial fullness, an uneven texture and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The triple lipid restore cream is infused with these essential lipids, antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients to fight free-radical damage and smooth skin texture. The result is an improvement in elasticity, moisture levels and radiance, leaving your skin supple, healthy and radiant.
How To Use: Apply twice daily to face, neck and chest. Apply a small amount between fingertips, warm and melt the cream in circular motions.
My Opinion: I definitely noticed a change in the texture of my skin and fullness. I think it definitely improved the elasticity and moisture levels for me. This product is pricey but definitely on my repurchase list!
Osea HYaluronic sea serum
What It’s Supposed To Do: This fast absorbing concentrated serum is said to smooth the appearance of fine lines and provide visible lift. A synergy of three molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid and three nutrient-rich seaweeds work together to restore and maintain optimal moisture level.
How To Use: After cleansing, apply serum over skin. Allow to absorb. Seal in with moisturizer of your choice. Use morning + night.
My Opinion: I can see why they call this a “moisture magnet”. This hyaluronic serum keeps my skin so hydrated. My skin just drinks it right up! The formula is super lightweight and found it great to pair with any of my moisturizers! I would definitely buy this again!
OSEA Atmoshphere Protection Cream
What’s It’s Supposed To Do: This everyday lightweight moisturizer hydrates while providing barrier protection against environmental pollutants. Our antioxidant-rich formula is full of Seaweed, Shea Butter and Omega-rich oils.
How To Use: After cleansing skin, apply preferred serum. Massage cream onto face.
My Opinion: This cream is a great texture. Goes on smooth and is extremely lightweight. It felt hydrating to me but I did not see it do a difference with my skin. It is super important to use an antioxidant rich formula but I don’t think this one is for me. I will not repurchase.
PCA Skin Hydrator PLus Broad Spectrum
What It’s Supposed To Do: Protects skin against UV rays with a hydrating SPF, formulated with caffeine to prevent free radical damage.
How To Use: Apply sunscreen 15 minutes prior to exposure to allow the active ingredients to penetrate the skin.ย
My Opinion: We all know how important sunscreen is and I am constantly trying new face ones that protect and can easily be paired with makeup. I loved this one and would definitely repurchase!
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask
What It’s Supposed To Do: This gel mask is supposed to help soothe, hydrate and detox the look of dry skin with botanical extracts of Cucumber, Papaya, Chamomile and more.
How To Use: Apply a generous coat to clean skin. Keep on skin for 10 minutes then rinse off with cool water. For an intensive treatment, apply a thin layer onto face and leave on overnight.
My Opinion: I got the small tube in a travel size kit I bought and to be honest I am glad I did not spend money on the whole bottle because this mask did nothing for me. I feel like it was just gel sitting on top of my skin and then after I washed it off my skin, my skin did not feel any more hydrated or anything! So…not repurchashing this.
Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo
What It’s Supposed To Do: Freshen up any hair type and leaves no powdery residue behind, just clean, fresh-feeling hair.
How To Use: Spray into your roots and massage it in with your fingertips.
My Opinion: I had really high hopes for this dry shampoo because I’ve always been a Pantene fan but it did nothing for me. I feel like it didn’t soak up any oils even when I sprayed in a ton of product. I usually go about 5-7 days without washing my hair and I had to wash my hair every 2 days when using this. After 2 weeks, I couldn’t do it anymore. It smells really good though LOL. This will not be a repurchase for me.
Skinceuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair
What It’s Supposed To Do: SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair fights the signs of aging that occur on fragile neck skin. Powered by 0.2% retinol and a 2.5% tripeptide concentrate, this potent cream helps to minimize the appearance of horizontal necklines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, crepiness, and uneven skin tone revealing a firmer, smoother and more youthful-looking neck area.
How To Use: Apply 1-2 pumps every other night from dรฉcolletรฉ to jawline by massaging the product in an upward motion. After one week, increase use to nightly, then twice daily as tolerated.
My Opinion: Pricey but worth every penny! Our neck and hands are the first to show signs of aging and even though I felt like my skincare routine has been great the past couple of years. my neck was not getting the love that it needed and I started to see deeper lines in my neck area. This cream helped me see a difference in just a week! I will definitely be using this again!
Eva NYC Shapeshifter Flexible Hairspray
What It’s Supposed To Do: Deliver a non-sticky, workable hold to lock in styles and add a glossy finish.
How To Use: Use on dry, styled hair for a light hold and a glossy finish. Shake and mist all over to set your look.
My Opinion: I want to start off by saying, it’s hard finding a hairspray I really like because my hair is super board straight and does not hold curl easily so I need a flexible hairspray that I can use a lot of without it feeling stiff or sticky. I usually spray each strand of hair before I curl and then once again when my whole head is curled I’ll spray throughout one last time to “set”. So as you can imagine that is quite a bit of product! While I am looking for a strong hold, I don’t want my hair to feel stiff. The reason this shapeshifter hairspray didn’t work for me is because I did not feel like it was a “flexible” hold at all. It was a bit sticky to me and at the same time did not hold the curl at all! This was one of the products I had to get rid of before even finishing the bottle so needless to say, I will not be repurchasing!
Let me know if you have any additional questions about these products!
Farm Rio is a “new to me” Brazilian brand and their pieces are SO beautiful! I had been wanting something for the past few months but I was having a hard time narrowing down. I think I had 8 items in my cart at one point and I just laughed at myself LOL. The items are on the pricier side but the quality speaks for itself, the prints are one of a kind and for every purchase, one tree is planted to give back to the environment and to help recover endangered forest ecosystems like those in the Amazon rainforest.
I can see why FARM rio is Brazil’s most recognized brand.
Multi Print Button DOwn Dress
I was laughing so hard when Brandon was taking these photos of me in Hawaii because there was a couple taking pics next to us and Brandon was like ” work it lava princess” LOL. I love the mix prints in this dress. Wearing a medium.
Printed Jumpsuit
The colors in this jumpsuit scream Fall and I am here for it! Love the wide leg pant and deep v neck line. Wearing a medium.
Don’t you love these unique prints?! If you are looking for eye catching, quality pieces, I can’t recommend Farm Rio enough!
Aloha friends! We are currently soaking in all the beach time in Hawaii but one of ya’ll asked me to share some photos of Camila when we were waiting to finalize our adoption so I wanted to do a “firsts with our daughter” round up like I did for Landon. I am so happy I don’t have emojis covering any of my sweet kids face right now!
1. Our First Night Together
We flew to Oregon to meet our girl in person for the first time. We thought we would be able to bring her home shortly after. Unfortunately that took 9 months longer than we expected but so happy she’s finally home with us!
2. First (of Many) Coordinating Outfits With Her Bubba
I still can’t get over how much these two look alike ๐
3. First Park Day Together
4. OUr First Thanksgiving Together
9 months later, our little angel was finally home in Texas just in time for Thanksgiving 2020!
5. Our First Birthday Together
We didn’t do a super big celebration because we were flying home to California the very next day so that Camila could meet her California family, however we still made it extra special with cake for breakfast and then a a Tiffany themed lunch and slumber party with just the 4 of us ๐
6. Meeting Papa, Lola, Uncles, AUnties and COusins In Person For The Very First TIme!
I literally could cry just thinking about these moments all over again!
7. Celebrating Our 7th Wedding Anniversary Together
We always take a trip for our anniversary and having the kids with us just makes it that much more special!
8. Our First 4th Of July Together
Brandon almost burned his fingers off lol but it was worth seeing the kids watch fireworks together in our new neighborhood for the first time!
9. Camila’s First BAsball And Football Game
All in one weekend too! And we will never forget this because due to cancelled flights we took the 17 hour hour drive home from North Carolina.
10. Camila’s First Feast Of Tabernacles
We had to make this feast extra special and take our girl to Hawaii! Needless to say she’s having the time of her life!
We feel so incredibly blessed to be parents to these two angels. Watching them together each day seriously fills my mama heart up with so much joy! I can’t wait to continue with these amazing memories!
Oh… just that one time that Camila and I were taking photos and then a stranger told me that the back of my dress was tucked into my underwear lol! I wish I could say embarrassing moments weren’t so frequent in my life ๐
Aside from the underwear situation, these matching dresses are always a hit when we were them out! I love the baby pink color with silver star print detail.
Shop these looks:
Honestly, by the smile on her face here she may have known my dress was exposing all and didn’t want to tell me LOL. What do you think?!
Baby blue romper from Revolve but make it western. Ya’ll I cannot get enough of these cowboy boots. Can you tell?! ๐
Everyone is already talking about fall but in Houston I think it’s getting hotter lol. This baby blue romper is still perfect to pair with sandals, wedges or sneakers and when the weather finally cools down a bit I will be styling it with a faux leather jacket and cowboy boots! Wearing a medium in this cowl neck romper.
I love letting the kids help when we are putting together our grocery list. This way they have an idea of what we are eating for the week, how to make healthier choices and because Iโm a fun mom (duh!) I let them pick out really fun snacks too! Itโs easiest for us to use the Walmart app and with our Walmart + membership we can usually get our order delivered within 2 hours from our local store. 2 hours we can be using playing, reading or taking a nap (deliveries within 2 hours are through Express Delivery which is not a Walmart+ benefit and has a $10 Express fee)! ๐
I let Camila pick out what she wanted in her picture and of course she chose Froot Loops lol! The donut pictured is also one of their favorite โfun snacksโ. Itโs a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread that I cut into a shape of a donut with a dash of sprinkles!
If you guys haven’t signed up for the Walmart+ membership yet, you can still take advantage of the 15-day free trial. If you decide to sign up after the free trial is over, the membership is only $12.95/month or $98/year.
You will save 1.5 hours a week by getting your weekly groceries with free same-day delivery from your local Walmart store (savings based on 2 store trips per week. Excludes time spent shopping online. $35 minimum order and restrictions apply). We also get benefits like member prices on fuel, mobile scan & go and Rx for less!
I’ve worn this 2 piece set three times already and I just realized the shorts are called PJ shorts so…I guess I’ve just been wearing pj’s out and about for the past few weeks LOL. Ahh well! Won’t stop now ๐
Camila is so cute in her little matching sweatpants and sweatshirt so of course she jumped in on this photoshoot! ๐ I purchased her set from Amazon and my outfit is from Revolve. I am wearing a small in the top and medium in the shorts.
Yes, yes..it’s true… I finally gave in after all these years and purchased Cowboy boots! I even say ya’ll now if you haven’t noticed. Like, who am I?!
True story though, I actually went back and forth for like an hour on what cowboy boots to purchase. They are so pricey that I was trying to get myself to fall in love with the less expensive pair at the store but the heart wants what it wants and I went with these Lucchese’s. Anyway, like a minute after checking out at Boot Barn Brandon calls me and tells me there has been credit card fraud because someone had spent xxx amount at Boot Barn. I couldn’t stop laughing but in his defense why would he assume I was at Boot Barn.
Hi, my name is Roselyn and I shop at Boot Barn now ๐
Many of these pieces I already had in my closet so if I am not able to link the exact item, I will link similar items if you want to achieve the same vibe!
