Hello friends! Like many of you I am back in the office today and 4 things I was grateful for when I woke up today were my family, our health, summer traffic and a cute work outfit ๐

Hey babes! Comin’ at you today with a super chic work wear look so I figured I’d talk about something work related!

This post was sponsored by Kroger. All opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of Kroger.
Do you ever receive a last minute call from your husband and he tells you that he forgot guests were coming over tonight? Or maybe you committed to hosting wine night at your house a few weeks ago and it totally slipped your mind until you are on your way home from work and your girlfriend texts you “see you soon!” You have about 20 minutes to get home and have little to no time to throw something together to welcome your guests! What do you do?
I’ll tell you what I do!
If you have been to my house for a birthday party, small dinner party or are in my husbands fantasy football league ๐ than you already know there will be a cheese platter waiting for you! I love cheese, my husband loves cheese, I mean who doesn’t love cheese?!
A cheese platter is always my go to when we have people coming over. Now as a mama, I really try to find ways to shorten all of my tasks. That is why I am loving that Cracker Barrel recently came out with these new cheese cubes for entertaining!
These Cracker Barrel cheese cubes save me so much time since they are already cut up into cubes for me. I literally just open the bag and toss them onto a pretty tray with crackers and fruit. Voila, just like that it looks like I spent so much time on this cheese tray and we are ready for guests. Our favorite flavors are the vermont sharp white with gouda mix and the extra sharp yellow cheese. Yum!
The resealable bags are great in case you donโt need to use the whole bag and we always have the 2 oz bag on hand for easy snacking. Baby Weaver gets so happy when I let him hold this bag himself. But, like the label warning says to do, we always keep an eye on him and cut each cube in half to make it easier and safer for him to eat!
If baby Weaver and our guests approve this cheese, that’s a win in my book!
If you haven’t tried them yet, make sure to pick them up at Kroger to try out at your next dinner party and let me know what you all think!
Hey babes! A rare Sunday post comin’ at you today! If you have been following along on Instagram stories this week you know that I have teamed up with 6 other blogger friends of mine to share our Old Navy finds! If you haven’t checked the other ladies out please do because we are also giving away a $100 gift card out to 3 different winners! Yes, THREE!
Did you know that in Texas alone 2.9 million children and adults are affected by type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
& Did you know that the pig was the first source of insulin? So while some might ask โwhy would you want to kiss a pig?โ, this fundraising event is put together to honor the pig in its heroic role as the first source of insulin. Would you like to see me smooch a pig?! Donate here to cast your vote.
I have committed to raise $10,000 for the American Diabetes Association. The Kiss A Pig campaign is to raise funds for research, education and programs like Camp Rainbow.
So in efforts to help get my community involved, and by community I mean YOU BABES, Cindy and I are putting together giveaways each week. For every $10 you donate each week, you will be entered to win a prize. The prizes are so good you guys!
To make it easy for all of us to keep up with the amazing prizes each week (especially myself LOL) I am creating this special page on my blog where you can donate, see the prizes for each week and where we will announce the winners.
Also, we will be hosting a few events leading up to the Kiss A Pig gala which will be held on August 15th so I will be posting all of those events here. I hope to meet a lot of you in person!

I’m going to be honest. When I graduated high school and college all I really wanted was cash. Well, let me rephrase that. All I needed was cash LOL. Cash to eat, cash to buy some books, cash to put gas in my car to get to class and work.
Thankfully my parents, aunties, uncles and older brothers were able to provide your girl with some moola to put in the bank but of course if you are just graduating yourself you don’t have all the monies to gift your friends so today I am rounding up some great grad gift ideas that are fun, meaningful and all under $100!
Single Serve Coffee Maker | For all the late nights studying | There are $70 name brand ones but this $15 single serve coffee maker had over 1,100 5 star reviews and it’s cute too ๐
Funny and Inspirational Coffee Mugs | One Degree Hotter | I Can & I Will | The Best Is Yet To Come | College Survival Mug | We Can Do This
Piggy Bank | Maybe throw some change in there while you are at it | We all know every penny counts. Especially if you are living that laundry mat life.
Books | Such an inexpensive but helpful gifts in any person’s life | The 5 Ingredient College Cookbook is actually something I would still want in this phase of my life, haha | Oh, The Shit You Don’t Know sounds like such a great book | Adulting 101 #wisdom4life
Portable Charging Bank | Because thinking back on that college life, my phone and laptop were always on low battery. Help your new college student out by giving them a powerful portable charging bank. Even now I love my portable charger. Especially when traveling for work.
A Nice Duffel Bag | If they have landed a job where they will be traveling a nice luggage set would be a good idea but if your high school graduate is headed off to college a few hours away the duffel bag is a great option for them to throw in their trunk for their weekend trips home
Fujifilm Instax | Such a cute gift idea to help the capture those memories!
Echo Dot | “Alexa, Do I have to finish college” or “Alexa, how do I cook Top Ramen noodles” | This $40 gift can help answer all of your grad’s questions when you are not there
Adidas launches new spring colors in the trefoil tee. *Roselyn runs to buy all of them ๐ BUT in my defense I really do love how comfy and versatile they are and will be wearing them so many different ways so I will definitely get a lot of use out of them. Today I am sharing 6 different ways to style this cult favorite Adidas tee.
Tis the season for graduations, bridal showers, weddings, etc. so today I am sharing a ton of dressy jumpsuits that can be worn to your upcoming special event and they are all under $60!
