Summer! We’ve got a lot to look forward to this summer and I’m excited. Hillsong UNITED concert in Nashville, my cousin’s wedding in Chattanooga, and a trip to our favorite place, Captiva Island!

We have been going to our Fit4Mom classes for about a month now and we are seriously loving it! Camden has even come a few times now and has really enjoyed it. I was so worried he would just whine to get out of the stroller the whole time but they keep it engaging for the littles by singing songs and incorporating them into some of the workouts. It’s so fun! It took me forever to get back in to working out after I had Camden because I couldn’t figure out how to fit it in while doing the demanding baby thing. I’m so happy to have these classes this time around! Local friends, let me know if you want to try a class together. It’s a national company so even if you aren’t local check to see if there is one in your area!

Camden’s Valentine’s gifts for the year! I plan to share this year’s version on Thursday. They are seriously SO easy you’ll have plenty of time if you are still looking for an idea! I shared what we did last year in this post and those were super easy as well and such a hit. Are you sensing a theme here? EASY. Not as easy as buying a box of cards from the store, but if you are looking for a slightly more personal option I’m your girl!

At this very moment I’m half watching the State of the Union, half distracting myself from it by watching Instagram Stories. No matter which side you are on politically I hope we can agree that the excessive clapping after every single statement made is one of the most annoying things ever. We could get this done in half the time without all that nonsense. #shesaone

I actually did a whole post yesterday on the cold weather pieces I’m wearing the most. If you are in a winter clothes slump then you might enjoy this post!
January’s Top 5 Blog Posts
1. Day in the Life – Surprise, surprise our Day in the Life post was by and far the most popular post of the month. They always are! This was one of our last official days of maternity leave so I wanted to make sure I got at least one of those days documented.
2. Friday Five – Friday Five posts are always popular, too! This one included several beauty items I’m loving and some other great finds.
3. Old Navy Active Try On – My try-on session for the month was Old Navy Active wear. If you are looking for active wear you should check out that post. A lot of it is on major sale right now!
4. January Currently – Yay! I love these posts but they are pretty labor intensive so I’m glad to know you all like them, too.
5. Friday Five – Another Friday Five winner! Among other things, this one included a couple adorable pictures of the kids and some photos of how I’m Konmari-ing our house.
January’s Top 5 Purchased Items
1. Leather Earrings – A ton of you bought these leather earrings and I’m giddy! These are such an amazing Amazon find. I got them last month for $16 for four pairs and this month they lowered them to $10 with Prime shipping for a set of four!! YES.
2. Duck Boots – These boots are a great value (well under $100) normally but Macy’s has been having some KILLER sales on them that you all have taken advantage of! Right now they are on Last Act so the sizing is very limited but they are a total steal for only $31!
3. Sherpa Vest – I’ve been wearing this sherpa vest almost daily. Several of you snagged it and I hope you are loving it, too!
4. Crossbody Bag – You all are still loving the items from my Christmas gift guide posts! This crossbody bag is so cute and an amazing price with Prime shipping included.
5. Baby Girl Headband Bows – THE BOWS are back! I hope these bows are on this list for all time and eternity. I can not say enough good things about them. Under $20 with Prime shipping for TEN adorable bows. Amazing. (If you like those they have this set too!)
January’s Top 5 Clicked Items
1. Hearth and Hand Duvet – An item I linked in last months Currently post, actually. Still dreaming of adding this to our bedroom! Joanna Gaines can do no wrong.
2. Kristen Ess Iconic Hairdryer – I owe you all a whole post about this hair dryer – that’s how much I love it!
3. Old Navy Moto Legging – My all time favorite legging!
4. 90 Degree by Reflex Legging – These were new to me this month and I’ve been loving them. They are super soft but also suck everything in really well! Plus, they are an amazing price point.
5. Amazon Essentials Puffer Coat – You all went nuts for this coat and I promise it will live up to the hype! Well under $100 and warm but also super lightweight. I can not STAND a bulky coat.
As always, thank you all for your support this month! I can’t tell you what this community means to me. I’m so grateful for you all! I love hearing from you all and seeing pictures in things you have purchased through my links. I would love if you shared the blog or one of my social media channels with your friends!
