Life Lately
what I've been up to...
Piper & I spent Halloween reminding students to BEE KIND!
Piper found a LIVE bat on the sidewalk at school the day before Halloween. SPOOK SPOOK!
Piper is an absolute vibe.
It wouldn’t be Halloween if I didn’t get Piper some treats & goodies as well, so you know I had to make an order from Farm To Pet! They have all natural healthy goodies for your pets & Piper is a BIG FAN! She has loved everything we’ve tried from them! You can use code ALLIPIPER to get 25% off your first order!
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.
RED RIBBON SPIRIT WEEK!!!
Monday: red out!
rally against bad choices!
Tuesday: bbq dads & soccer moms!
make your mom or dad proud by saying “no” to bad choices!
Wednesday: western gear!
give bad choices the boot!
Thursday: halloween costumes!
say “boo” to bad choices!
Friday: NO SCHOOL!
Saturday…
in case you missed it...
My sister, Bethany sent me this picture of what fall looks like on K-State's campus & it gives me all the warm & fuzzy feelings. I LOVE K-State & all the memories that come with it.
I've been having lots of conversations lately about post secondary options -- between the first 8th grade college visit coming up soon (yay!) & various people reaching out about my job & what my education path was. & let me tell ya, I LOVE talking about my job & the colleges I got my degrees from. I am not blind to the fact that I'm blessed that I realized my passion & was able to connect it to a career early on. & just because it was a perfect fit for me, doesn't mean it's the perfect fit for others.

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.
If you follow me on Instagram or LTK, then you’ve probably noticed that I have really stepped up my game when it comes to collages of sales, outfit inspos & new items. Well, that is all thanks to my younger sisters, Bethany & Avery. They’re “poor college students” & my mom & I were looking for some extra help on the blog, so it just made sense to bring them on board! We’ll be compiling all of the collages into one post each week so that they’re all in one place & to give those who don’t use social media a place to find them! Check out their post by clicking here!
Next up is my Friday fashion favs post!! Click here to read that one. It’s a goodie if I do say so myself. ;)
Many of you have said you miss seeing sales in Instagram stories, but unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t love them as much as we do! The more I share, the less it shows. So I’ve created a private facebook group that will ONLY have sales! Join us & grab all the DEALS on all the things! You’ll find deals in fashion, beauty, home, & school items! Facebook group is linked here.
Follow me on Instagram (@simplysmalltowncounselor) or on LTK (simplysmalltowncounselor) for more outfit inspiration!
