Life Lately

what I've been up to...

Here is a slew of pictures that I took throughout the week just to show you all how seriously Piper takes her daily afternoon naps lol!

& this is the face I get if I accidentally wake her up lol!

Some of you may have already seen this, but I totaled my car in May due to hitting TWO deer at the SAME TIME. Yeah, it was about as bad as it sounds. My dad & I went car shopping on Friday afternoon. That is always such an overwhelming process! We rewarded ourselves with a carwash & crumbl cookies lol can you smell both of these pictures?!

If the color of the car matches your iced caramel latte from Starbucks, that means it’s meant to be, right? ;)
I was really not looking forward to shopping for a car after totaling my car due to hitting two deer (at the same time) last month. I worked SO hard to pay off my previous vehicle three & a half years early! While I took some time to pout & be frustrated by my situation, I got a pretty big serving of humble pie by the big man upstairs. All of this belongs to Him — all of my successes, my battles, my treasures, my insecurities — all of it! So instead of throwing a pity party for myself over having to buy a car before I was ready, I’m going to focus on being thankful for the sweet gifts He’s given me.

Here are a few examples that are only related to this situation:

Piper & I were both completely unharmed after the wreck.
It happened close to my parent’s house & they were able to come get me right away.
The officer that responded to my call was kind & explained how everything would work.
My parents were BEYOND GRACIOUS & let me borrow one of their vehicles until I found my own.
My dad respects my independence & helped me find a trustworthy car for a great deal.
I get to drive this beauty!

So here’s to reframing our problems into praises, & lots of rides with Piper & the windows down this summer!

outfits of the week…

For the past few months or so I’ve started *trying* to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.

On Monday I shared a post of the top ten things y’all loved the most from the month of May! + one bonus! You can check that post out by clicking here.

As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.
