Thank you to Mackenzie Childs for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. In October I was able to attend Mackenzie Childs X Salt Lake City virtual workshop and it was so amazing! This was my first real introduction to the brand besides seeing my favorite influencers collect their signature Courtly Check pieces! I instantly fell in love with the heart of Mackenzie Childs and the incredible people and artists behind the brand. I learned so much about the history behind the company, how everything is made and in some cases hand painted! They put so much love and character into every item to make it unique. These are the type of collectables I can see myself passing down to my kids and grandchildren someday! This year I went full glam with my Christmas tree and it adds just the right amount of happiness and cheer to our home! I am obsessed with the Mackenzie Childs Golden Hour line, so most items I incorporated into my decor are from that collection. I love how the sprays add depth and texture to the tree without overdoing it, and the ornaments are just so classic! The pops of courtly check are my favorite little touch. I can’t wait to keep adding to my collection over the years. Thanks for stopping by!

Say hello to the Valenzuela family, 2019 edition! These photos were super last minute, and thanks to our angel friend and photographer Brittany, turned out so fun! Getting family pictures gets harder and harder as Kai gets older, but I love how you can see his personality shining through in them. He is constantly smiling and running around. His little laugh is infectious and theres nothing I love more than watching those curls bounce around! So since blog posts are few and far between these days, I thought I would do a little life update with each member of our family. Let’s do it! Kai- Just turned 3 in June and is all things BOY. He constantly begs to be out digging in the dirt, playing in the hose, or a really messy combination of both! His speech has improved immensely and we are so proud of how hard he works at therapy sessions. We just singed him up for T-Ball in the Fall and are SOOO excited to watch him! Just one more month of Summer then this sweet boy is off to his second year of preschool. So far this Summer he’s been loving our mini road trips to St. George, Lake Powell, and Lagoon! He even got to stay in Grandma and Grandpa’s new motorhome and thought

It’s OFFICIALLY the first day of Summer and I couldn’t be more excited! It was a long and cold Winter here in Utah, so finally seeing the sun start to shine has everyone smiling. I put away all of my sweaters and boots for the season and started working on my Summer wardrobe. So far it’s including a lot of bare shoulders, like this yellow sundress, and I’m loving it. And do you want to know where I’ve done most of my recent shopping?! WAL-MART! It’s no surprise that Wal-Mart fashion is all the rage right now! Everywhere I look on social media, I see another amazing Wal-Mart find. The best part? THE PRICES! Wal-Mart is a one stop shop for summer wardrobe essentials and it’s so budget friendly. This whole outfit (dress, shoes, bag and earrings) is less than $100 and perfect for so many occasions this season. From weddings, to baby showers, and even brunching with the girls, this flirty little number is ideal for an effortless Summer look. It comes in a few other colors too and they are all SO cute. Might have to snag the pink one too! As far as sizing goes, I grabbed my normal XL and it’s perfect, so definitely true to size. For the sandals, I am typically a 9.5 and

Thank you to ThirdLove for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. I can hardly contain my excitement about today’s blog post because I have FINALLY found the most perfect strapless bra from ThirdLove! But before I dive into what makes this bra unlike any other I’ve tried, I want to give you a little back story about this incredible brand. They are pretty much the definition of inclusive with 78 sizes to choose from, and even the option of a 1/2 cup size. They also have a super quick and easy to use fit finder on their website that told me I’m one of the only 15% of women that is actually wearing the right bra size. That number is so crazy to me but hopefully we can get that number up with ThirdLove paving the way. If you’re unsure about your own sizing, you can learn more about how to properly find your fit here! So not only do they have a product for everyone, ThirdLove also has FREE returns, exchanges, and a 60 day money back guarantee. You can wear your new bra around, and even wash it, but if you don’t love it, send it back for free no questions asked! Such a game changer in my opinion. There is literally no risk! Now let’s

Thank you to Kiava for sponsoring this post. First things first, let me tell you about my darling workout outfit! My leggings, sports bra, and tank are all from Kiava! They are a local Utah company that I’ve worked with for a while now. I absolutely love supporting local AND women owned companies and this awesome brand happens to be both! They have such high quality items. My favorite pieces from them have definitely been their sports bras! They are Lululemon quality with a way more affordable price point! Click here to shop their site and use code: LACE10 for a discount on your order. Now let’s dive into something I’ve been instilling that’s changing my life! Have you perfected your morning routine? Up until recently, I had no idea how having a consistent morning routine could shape the rest of my day. I used to just wake up and see where the morning took me, but now I know exactly what I’ll be doing each morning and it brings me so much peace. We already have to make tons of decisions through out the day, so having an established regimen in place takes a few of those decisions away. Just like when we’re establishing our babies nap and bed time routines so they know exactly what to expect and

What. A. Year! 2018 was one I’ll remember forever. It was filled with a lot of happy moments, and quite a few sad ones as well. But without rain there would be no rainbows right? This year taught me a lot of life lessons and I feel like I did a lot more adulting than ever before. I’m so grateful for the memories that 2018 brought me, but I’m so excited for a new year with new goals! Without further ado, here is what my year looked like; month by month. PS- A lot of my photos wouldn’t upload for some reason (sad face) so if it seems like there are some holes, it’s because there are. Technical difficulties, sorry ’bout it. January- This month was full of lot’s of firsts. 2018 started by Ringing in the New Year on the dance floor with my hubs! It was the first time we had ever gone out for New Years Eve and we had a blast. You might not know this but my husband is quite the dancer. He is usually the one dragging me out for a song! I also went on my first mule ride, and attended my first boxing match. It was a really fun-filled month. February- Arguably one of my favorite months (career wise) of the year!
