Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how am I going thrive this week?  It is so easy to get bogged down in the day to day. The to do list and the kids needs and my businesses needs and on and on. Add on the heaviness that is our world right now and it can feel like all you are trying to do is survive. But I don’t want to just survive. I don’t want to be looking forward to the weekend each and every week. I want to look for a way to thrive where I am.  Ok, so how do we do that?  I’m going to give you three intentions I’m taking into the week. 1️⃣ I will find excitement and fulfillment in the mundane tasks or difficult situations. 2️⃣ I intended to do my best each day to achieve the goals I have set for the day. 3️⃣ I will do my best to lead by example and embrace challenges I face with a calm mind. Have a wonderful week.

Hands down the best shower is the one after you’ Hands down the best shower is the one after you’ve been at the beach all day. Your skin is a little golden and toasty and you wash all of the sunscreen off and the salt in your hair. Nothing is as refreshing as that shower.

Skin care is always a big priority for me but in the summer it becomes even more important. The sun and salt water and chlorine suck all of the nutrients out of your skin. I have been using @yensabeauty CBD Superfood Dual Cleansing Oil to remove sunscreen and give my skin a nice glow.

Summer time vacay means road trips in our family. Summer time vacay means road trips in our family.  I would love to #wheelsup everywhere we go but, alas, I don't have #wheelsup money currently.  I love short road trips.  3 to 4 hours is our jam right now.  A few things I do to plan for being in the car.  1️⃣ I make sure everyone's electronics are charged and on the hotspot or they have games downloaded.  2️⃣ Earphones.  No one can agree on a station and the level of the volume so earphones it is. 3️⃣ Snacks.  I pack everyone and individual snack basket that they can have in the car for the first few hours.  Lord knows we have to make a snack stop because my kids are obsessed with finding every @racetrac they can.  4️⃣ Finally, bingo cards (our printable ones are on the blog) or something they can play like tiktacktoe since they will get board of their ipads at some point in the ride.  What are your road trip tricks?

Sunday Skim · October 8, 2017

The Sunday Skim 10/8/17

Family… This weekend we have been dealing with Hurricane Nate.  It was a small storm and moving quickly so the effects weren’t bad for us but it was still something we wanted to talk to the kids about before the weather got bad.  We have a big honesty policy with our kids and sometimes we may tell them a little more than they need to know but we would rather them be prepared.  This is a great article on including your kids in your conversations and prep.

Fashion… we are hunkered down in the house all weekend which means I finally got to break out my fall joggers.  These are some joggers I am currently crushing on.  Free People Camo Jogger Pants // Velvet Joggers // Khaki Joggers // Navy Joggers

Social… Hurricane Nate took a toll on our weekend plans so Harvest Cup Polo Classic has been moved to October 15th.  Also this week…  Sole Hope Denim and Dinner will be hosted by Renee Hall on Wednesday, October 11th.  The following weekend has the LPO preforming on the lakefront in Mandeville and Fall For Art in Downtown Covington.  Still trying to decide which one we will be going to

Food and Drink… This morning I tried my hand at making my own pumpkin pancakes and frosting.  They were a total hit with the kids but I just winged it.  Here are actual recipes you can follow.  Pumpkin Pancakes // Brown Sugar Maple Buttercream

In Case You Missed It…

About Me
I'm Tiffany. Although some of my favorite people call me Tippy. My favorite color is pattern. Seriously, I've never met a pattern I didn't like. My style is as bold as my personality and you should never trust my hair color. I am all about size inclusive style on a Nordstrom Sale budget.
