Now that we have a dining table and a stellar view from our back porch, I have been itching to shop outdoor entertaining pieces. I love the idea of being able to customize the look for different seasons and occasions, and Shutterfly has more options than I could have imagined. There are so many opportunities to entertain in the summer, Memorial day, Fourth of July, and Cam’s birthday to name a few. You know I love my neutrals so I…

What to Wear for a Family Photoshoot in the Summer Textured clothing translates well in photos so when dressing mom and daughter, look for details like ruffles, lace, etc. One of…
Since moving to a warmer climate we have picked up more and more outdoor hobbies. One that Mac has taken to is fishing. We insist on calling it fishing because we are rarely catching 😂. I have been trying to get Cam into the pastime since we live on a coastal dune lake that is perfect for fishing and today I am partnering with Backcountry to share some of our new gear. Don’t forget to use my code PLANSBC for…
Long Torso Swim I know many people dread this time of year when it comes to swimsuit shopping. While I have had the occasional luck with budget friendly suits from Amazon, I am a big fan of a splurge worthy staple swimsuit. Since we have made the beach our home, this was a high priory for me when it came to fashion finds that would suit our new lifestyle. With Marissa down here now too we have enjoyed sharing our…
I had heard raving reviews about the cookware brand Our Place and their Always Pan, so when they recently launched their Perfect Pot I decided I should give them both a try. They have a duo set where I was able to get them both and save a little! With Mother’s Day approaching I thought this would be a perfect gift for Janey, she loves to cook! Right now Our Place is having their Annual Spring Super Sale with up…

My boys recently decided they wanted to start a business renting out a paddle board to local visitors. For Easter, the Bunny ordered them a BOTE Breeze Aero Paddle Board from Backcountry. Marissa and I decided we should up our SUP (stand up paddle board) skills if we are going to help them with their business. We took the morning to get a in a workout and try our hand (and balance) at some paddle boarding. Can you believe this…
What Is a Capsule Wardrobe? If before we get into this you’re like… wait a minute Rachel, what’s a capsule wardrobe? Let me explain. The idea of a capsule wardrobe is to group versatile, basic wardrobe pieces that can be restyled in many outfit combinations. The goal is to minimize your wardrobe with pieces that mix and match AND ALL LOOK FABULOUS. Not only are you buying less, but the pieces I’m sharing today and budget friendly. Many of these…
This post is written by Marissa. A year or so ago I tried my first cleansing balm, and sure enough it was all it was hyped up to be. Since then I have been on a mission to find the one I would crown as my go-to. If you’re not familiar with cleansing balms, they’re a face cleanser and makeup remover in one. I liken the feeling to if you took coconut oil and rubbed it on your face. Which…
