For this Wishlist Wednesday, I wanted to talk about a California style essential: the graphic tee. Now, I see a lot of stuff on Pinterest talking about "California girl style" that references boho maxi dresses and crocheted tops or peasant blouses. But let me tell you about real California-girl style…

We all have those days where we just need to get out with our spouse but don’t have the funds for a fancy dinner. Check out these ideas for a cheap (or free!) date night that will get you out of the house without breaking the bank.

You’ll love this super simple, one-pot dinner that blends Cajun and Mexican flavors for a quick weeknight meal. With andouille sausage, rice, black beans, and corn, this easy dinner is sure to check all the picky eaters’ boxes.

Being a mom of three, I don't have a whole lot of time to get ready in the mornings, so anything that can cut down the time it takes to put on "my face" is a winner for me. In the summer months, I’m even less patient. So I’m sharing my summer beauty routine, in case you’re also low-maintenance AF.

If you have kids, summer can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it's great to have them home to spend more time with you; on the other hand, cabin fever can set in real darn quick if you're not careful. To combat that, I’ve put together a summer bucket list to help keep the family entertained.

It had been three years since visiting California, and it's definitely been awhile since we’ve stayed in a hotel for more than one or two nights, so there were a lot of things that I completely spaced on for our trip. I wanted to share those with you in case you’re ever in a similar situation.

Happy Independence Day, y'all! We're setting up to grill up some hot dogs this afternoon for a low-key celebration, and I thought, what goes better with grilling than a nice comfy chair to relax and enjoy my food in? In the spirit of relaxation, I figured I’d share some of the best patio sets I found at Target under $600.

We had a bit of a hectic return from our California vacation, but I finally got settled in and was able to review my June Birchbox! It was a welcome respite after a rough week back. Read on, dear friends!

We are on our last day of our California adventure, and my heart aches a little at the thought of going back to Texas. I love where I live, but California was and always will be my true home.  

It's Friday! We made it to San Diego yesterday, and if all goes as planned (since I'm writing this in advance), I am currently either sleeping in or doing some morning yoga, and will have my toes in the sand in approximately two hours. As for today’s actual OOTD, you can see it on Instagram!
