Red Ruffle Dress + Some Real Talk

Hey, guys!  It's been a while since I've posted but I'm happy to be back!  We've been busy around here with birthday parties, parent-teacher conferences, swim and dance lessons, etc.  The husband and I even snuck off to Cali for a quick trip last week (that may or may not have included a stop at Disneyland ;)!.  Sometimes it's nice to take a little breather...

I also took some time to reevaluate my blog.  I sometimes get overwhelmed with keeping a regular posting schedule all while balancing my most important job...being a full-time mommy and wife. I've also developed a love-hate relationship with social media.  I love scrolling Instagram for daily inspiration but I've started to feel like I'm wasting too much time looking at other people's lives and therefore not actually living my own.  

Constantly looking at other's perfectly-curated posts makes it so easy to slip into the comparison game and feel "not enough".  I have to remind myself that no one's life is perfect and the most important thing is to do what makes me happy.  So!  I'm making a promise to myself to do just that.  I started this blog because I truly love styling outfits, scouting out cool locations, and shooting with my hubby, so that's what I'm going to focus on...Not how many followers I have on Instagram or how many "likes" I get on a post.   

Anyways, I'm starting to sound dramatic so I'll stop rambling, haha...these are just some things that have been on my mind lately so I thought I'd share!  

Thank you so much for reading!
