I don’t really need to explain my kimono love anymore to you than I already have, but I love how this one from Love Threads is different from the typical summer floral kimono! The snakeskin print makes it perfect for fall!
As a lot of you know, this past month has been a difficult one for me. With my second miscarriage and the passing of my grandmother, there has just been entirely way too much going on emotionally for me. I’m still having some rough days, especially because I feel like the aftermath of my miscarriage is finally hitting me, but I’m hopeful for what’s to come this month. One big change is that I have officially cut back my work hours even more, and I’ll be working per diem as of December. This is a HUGE change for me as I’ve been working full time the past years, but I’m thrilled with being able to spend more time home with Landon. This has been my ultimate goal and we’re so excited to make this happen. I will still be working at least 3 days a week, but on my time which makes things a little easier. I have some more big blog news to share in a couple weeks as well!
This blog is a happy place of mine, so I thank each and every one of you for making it possible for me to do this. I have high hopes for this little space in the future and can’t wait to see where this adventure takes me!
That’s all for now, stay tuned! 🙂

Aww, so sorry to hear about your second m/c, my husband and I are trying to have a third child and we’ve had 2 m/c’s and are now going through counseling to try to get pg again. It is such a long and draining process. I wish you the best of luck. This outfit is beautiful on you, love your necklace and those boots are so fun!
Lauren McBride says
Thank you Carrie! And I wish you the best as well. None of this is easy, but we will make it through! <3
