I Love a Good #plannerbag

I do believe in a great planner bag!! It’s one of my top criteria when I am choosing a new bag! It has to fit a planner!! I always need a notebook or something with me! I also nearly always carry my kindle with me since I look for any minute so I can sneak in some reading time! So of course when I am choosing a bag it needs to fit all these items as well as be a kid friendly bag. Now I have tried traditional diaper bags but most of the time I HATE them!! I hate that they have a childish pattern on them and I don’t like the colors and I just feel so yuck! It’s not me!! So I have basically chosen bags that can act as a diaper bag but don’t look like one. I also use lots and lots of pouches to keep my bags organized so that things don’t get lost! I always carry snacks for my kids and toys and books and hand sanitizer, basically everything but the kitchen sink!! So when on the hunt and then I find a great bag!! You better believe I’m sold when it’s 40% off!!

What do you think about my choices?!?

I love to be dressed up cute and comfy!!

Nordstrom is having a 40% off sale and I thought I would start sharing some of my favorites! We are all eager to get out of the house, especially now and to do that I love to be dressed comfy but put together. It forces me to hold my head up high and feel good about myself. I don’t get up and go to work everyday and that initially made me very sad!! I loved getting up and getting dressed for work everyday. It gave me a purpose and it was something that I did for myself. It’s so important to not forget yourself!

What do you think about some of my favs?! These leggings by the way I have had from Zella for over 7 years and they still look brand new!!

This is us quarantined!!

These are uncertain times and I am just as concerned as anyone! My kids are home from school, when they will return is unknown! My husband is a healthcare professional and still goes to work everyday! It’s SCARY!! Initially I have felt fear and anxiety. Hankie use to be such a saving grace for me and he is no longer here to provide that for me! I am researching this more and journaling a lot to try and help myself with this but right now I am turning to things I already have and things that bring me comfort. My favorite of course is COFFEE!!! I love coffee!! I love having a cup in the morning and in the afternoon and maybe a few more in between. I was at the grocery store and stumbled upon these Vitacup coffee pods and decided to give them a whirl!

I have to say that I have finished one box already and I do feel as though my appetite has been curbed throughout the day. I don’t have major hunger or cravings. Also, after having my second baby I wanted to shed the baby weight and noticed a HUGE difference when I cut out coffee creamer. I know, I know this is very shocking. BELIEVE me this was a major learning curve for me too!! The weight started to come off very quickly. I also needed something in my coffee because black coffee is not my favorite so instead I starting using premiere protein shakes and that has made the taste much better. I also asked for a new coffee maker that would froth my milk and that also has made my wallet happy! I rarely ever go to Starbucks anymore because my coffee tastes really great and I have limited the calories and boosted my energy!!
