Sometimes, life hands you lemons and it’s okay to not make lemonade. In the past month or so, we had an emergency trip to the hospital when my husband took a terrible spill while mountain biking, our rental unit encountered disruptive water damage that will entail extensive restoration, work has exploded in a good way but one that entails more hours sometimes than I’m able to juggle, the transition to summer schedule has caused some major delicate and unnerving parenting situations with sensory-sensitive children, and the loss of our beloved beagle Friday night was the last crack that shattered me. I chose to not “be strong” when we told the kids yesterday: I was sobbing, and I wanted them to see that heartbreak is very real and is very much okay. I haven’t forced myself to “make lemonade” out of all of this ... it’s just too exhausting, and I don’t believe in forcing an image of superwoman. I do, however, strongly feel that this period of life will be behind me soon enough and things will settle down (and I’ll be in the mood to shop again 😉). Maybe I’ll cling to “The sun shines brightest after the rain” ☔️ ☀️ 🌈 . . . #cliche #cliches #makelemonade #stress #hardship #sadness #atlantainfluencer #roswellinfluencers #blogger #shirtdresses #mood #honesty #notsuperwoman #findinggrace #findinghappiness #shithappens #Inspo #inspiration #motivation
Okay, sorry for the overt show of skin, but this $22 @shekini_swimwear suit has been my favorite this season (photo from Hawaii trip in Feb). We got a heater for our pool and I LOVED getting to enjoy it today (it’s usually frigid), and this was my suit of choice. It stays put where it needs to, has adjustable straps, and more butt coverage than the listing suggests. I’ve tried the high waisted granny bottom suits, and on my petite curvy frame, they just make me look like a dumpling covered in wallpaper. POINT BEING: Rock what makes YOU feel best in your skin - please don’t suit up in a trend just because it’s... trendy. And remember: to get a bikini body, just put a bikini on your body...or one piece ... or whatever. 😘 . . . @shekini_swimwear @amazonforthewin_ @amazon @amazonfashion #bikini #bikinistyle #mombod #ootd #summerstyle #swimwear #beachbod #vacay #style #bikinibody #bodypositivity #wiwt #atlantainfluencer #roswellinfiniti #suburblife
Just as my blog name suggests, I take pride in finding as much happiness in the “outtakes” of life as I do the picturesque moments. Motherhood can feel like a series of outtakes, and I feel for the Mamas who try so hard to curate picture perfection at every turn. The day I surrendered all out control, was the day I finally realized the joy to be found in a beautiful mess. “Give up” more, yet gain so much more in return. And to be honest, I have to remind myself to do this on the daily. Wishing all of you a bit of grace, patience, and joy on this Mother’s Day! . . . #letkidsbekids #mothersday #joy #grace #gratitude #mimosainspiration #brunch #atlblogger #atlantainfluencer #ootd #wiwt #momsday #loveloft #loftgirl #lob #momstyle #streetsofbuckhead #americancut #nomatching
Jordan and I are about to “day date” it up for Cinco de Mayo but literally don’t have real plans so we’re winging it when the sitter gets here 🤷🏻‍♀️. My Old Navy shorts are on sale for $15 today with offer code HURRY - and most everything is 30% off.

I finally did it!! I have been thinking about doing a long bob for awhile now, and went for it! Feels. So. Good! It hasn’t been this short in over 6 years. Thanks to the amazing @jazzyfarrah for working your magic! . . . #lob #bloggerbob #beachywaves #newhairhaircut #balayage #foilage #style #atlantablogger #summerhair #longbob #jorts #shortsseason
If you’ve been following along in stories, you know that these GA allergies have flat out steamrolled me. And from reading my DM’s, I’m definitely not the only one! I did what I’m terrible at: laid in bed for the better part of the day. I hate not being productive (#totalbusybody), but ya know what!? I feel SO much better tonight! Antihistamines, nasal spray, eye drops, a migraine pill, and maybe a stiff drink (don’t lecture), and I’m at least amongst the living now. Here’s to hope for tomorrow! And a special thanks to @instahubbz for being SuperDad all day. . . . #cantadulttoday #allergyseason #migrainessuck #migraine #sickness #allergies #sickmama #laidup #allthemeds #migrainesufferer #maxalt #xyzal #atlantablogger #pollenseason #hayfever #hayfeversucks
