At one point in time I would have never shopped online. I was a shopping in the store kind of gal. But with shopping online being right at our finger tips every day it’s so hard not too. I have always been one to shop small boutiques, I loving having pieces in my clothes that not everyone in town will have too! So when I found VICI online I fall in love!!

Does anyone else kid wake up super early on the weekend? I have to drag him out of the bed on a weekday to go to school. But no not on Saturday mornings he is up at 5:45 am ready to go. Just mine? Yes, No?

We had play time, brunch with family, then it was time for me to hurry up and get ready for my cousin’s baby shower. I got ready in just under an hour!! I feel like this look would work all year round. Just change out the shoes for the different times of the year. Great for a day date, girls dinner, or any kind of casual event.

I fixed my hair using my Beachwaver S1 curling iron. (Don’t forget you can use my code: Kendrawave to save 10% at check out) My neckless and earrings were a Christmas gift so I’m not sure where they came from to let y’all know sorry!

I wanted to say that yes the shoes did hurt my feet but not as bad as I thought they would. I have a pair that is the same style by a higher end brand that I spent close to $100 on and they KILLED my feet. So when I brought them I was expecting them to hurt me yet as bad. But these only hurt my pinky toe and nothing else. I am very happy with them! This was the first time I wore them all day!

So today I had a Stihl sales school so I got to get dresses up for once!!!

I went for a causal business look! I think I did okay with it. This is the first time I pair a blazer with a plain tee like this. Y’all I got up at 5am. If you know me you know I am NOT a morning person at all. So you know if I’m waking up that early I have to make sure I don’t look as tired as I really am!! I did have my hair looking a lot better but thanks to the weather here today if fell real fast. Your girl would have had to use a whole bottle of hair spray to keep them curls. But hey the wavy looks good too!!

Blazer is from Vici Dolls – Uptown Girl Pocketed ($64) – size Small – no longer available but they have so many cute options to choose from!

Jean and Tee are both from Old Navy. I got both in September or October. Shirt is the Luxe Slub-Knit Tee for Women – size Medium – on sale right now for $10.00. Comes in many different colors.

If you have seen my posts on Instagram, you’ve only seen one type of case on my phone and its the Loopy Case! You’ve even seen it on my Christmas gift guide list!! So you know if I am telling you about it, it’s because I use it and I LOVE it!!!

I first seen the Loopy Case on Facebook and Instagram as a sponsored ad. The designs on the cases were so cute, must better then the plain case that was on my phone at the time. So I checked out their site and found one that I loved. I even found a discount code at that time too!!

Well once it came in I was HOOKED. The adjustable loop was so much easier than the PopSocket I was using. I placed a second order not long after that!! I would go change them out often!!

When I got my new phone the first thing I did was place a preorder for a new Loopy Case to fit!! I was lost without it while I was waiting!! I had loved the Blossom so much that I got the same design!

Now that the Camo design has came out, I think its time for me to order me a second case!! You know your girl loves her camo!! It will be the perfect case to use when I’m in the stand hunting or in the boat fishing!!

But really y’all know I try to be as honest as I can about a product I recommend to y’all! These cases really are the best. I can slide the loop through my wallet strap and not have to have so much in my hands. Being a mom I need my hands free as much as posiblabe. Yes, it does fit in my pocket with the loop! The loop is adjustable to fit you. Yes, you can buy and change out the loops to different colors. Yes, the case is shock absorbers! Yes you can us it one handed. No, the loop does not block the camera.

So treat yourself and get you, your husband, your best friend, your kid, and anyone this case. They make great gifts!! I promise you you will love it!!! Use my Code: southernmama10 to save 10% at check out!!!

I cannot believe that it is 2020.  I have so much hope for 2020! 2019 was one of our best years so far.  Connor is growing so fast.  He started school and loves it.  He is learning so much! Raymond started working a schedule again for the first time in forever.  I came into myself big time this year. I can’t believe that I took the jump and started my Instagram and blog! We brought our very first new boat.  There was lots of family time with just the three of us was the best part of all. We got asked the whole year when we were going to have another baby. (Still don’t know if we even want a second baby yet) I had just two goals for 2019 and it was more family time and more me time.  Both goals and more were accomplished!! 

Yes, we did have a few downs but nothing that out weighted that good that we had.  Finding out my mom had a very small amount of skin cancer and her surgery was the worst part of the year.  But we have put it in God’s hands that all is good, and the surgery got all of it.  Losing Abby has been very hard, its weird not having her here by my side.  

I’ve grown into my own skin this year. I love when I get to fix myself up like I call it.  The looks my husband gives me when I do makes me smile even more.  All the try-ons have fun so much fun to do. I even got a few discount codes for all of my amazing follower. (See the Beachwaver and MilaRae posts) I had to remind myself this year that it’s okay to feel good about the things I have and worked for.  I learned to not let others drama and troubles bring me down.  

So, my hopes and plans for 2020.  Of course, it’s to keep up the family time and working and growing for me.  I would love to do a few more family trips.  Even if it’s just to the camp! 

I want to start doing some remodel in my home. I would love to have at least my living room done!! One of my big goals is to pay off bills that we have.  We are getting to the age where we need to start really putting money away.  The biggest and top goal is working more and build up my blog and feed on Instagram.  All of my goals tie into each other.  I put all of my hopes and goals into the hands of God.  He knows what will work for us and our family.  He knows where the road will take us.  

I do have my fears for this coming year.  We live in a town that is highly depended on the oil field.  Raymond’s job most of the time is oil field based.  So, with that going the way it has been for a few years we worry about it all the time.  We are lucky to know that with his license we could move anywhere around water and be okay.  But would a new start someplace really be a bad thing?  Is it really a fear? God will only hand us what we can handle.  

I hope that you all step into this new year and new decade with goals and dreams for your life.  Let go of all the bad things from the past and move forward for a better you.  Say goodbye to 2019 and all of the toxic people who pull you down.   Let God into your life and let him guide you to your happy life that is planned for you! 

Have a very happy and blessed 2020 friends!!!
