Weekend Wrap Up; Mother's Day


Cara, Mamaw, Mom, Me, Megan and Vanessa 









Over the Mother's Day weekend, I was fortunate enough to spend the day with not only my mom, but, my grandmother and several others. Anytime we get the family together, our time is filled with stories, laughter and food! I love getting together with family, we always know how to have a good time.
I have to give a shout out to mom, she has worked incredibly hard the last year working out and going to the gym everyday. Her hard work has defiantly paid off, she's lost about 70 pounds since she started. I can't begin to say how proud I am of her, for sticking to her goals and still continuing to work hard. My brother and I are very luck to call her our mother, her and my dad have been so good to us our whole lives, I don't know how we'll ever begin to repay them.
I hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day.
 
Kisses,
The Little Lady

Foodie Fridays; Stuffin' your face foods!

Pinterest can defiantly be your best friend when it comes to finding great foodie favorites that best suits the need of your family. If you follow me on Pinterest, then you already know that I pin new recipes to my "Get in my Belly" board daily. I love hunting for new and exciting recipes to test out and see if they are YAY!! or NAH. 
As everyone does from time to time, they get behind with things! I didn't have anything prepared to write about for this weeks "Foodie Friday", so I thought it would be kinda cool to see recipes I'm dying to try out. 

Keeping reading below if your interested in what I wanna stuff my face with! :)

Oven Baked Meatball Sandwiches

I think this would be a great weeknight dinner or something easy to prepare for a get together like the super bowl. I know my husband would defiantly enjoy these.

Spinach Lasagna Rolls


I love lasagna, but making it is a pain. I think this would be so much easier to make on any week night and I think that the individual servings could work a lot better depending on your family. I would need more sauce though, these look naked!

Creamy Tomato & Spinach Pasta

This meal just looks so fresh and appealing to me, and the best thing, its a budget friendly meal. Cooking dinner doesn't always have to be expensive. I really enjoy this website, they have every kinda meal you could dream of that's figure friendly for your wallet.

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Nothing is better than made from scratch mashed potatoes, in my opinion. I could have them with every meal, they are my comfort food. This looks like a super easy recipe that anyone could make if you own a slow cooker (which everyone should!).

One Faith Boutique


















Recently, I had the pleasure of working with One Faith Boutique to show off some items. This boutique caters to sizes 2-16 and they feature many unique and trendy items to suit everyone's style and needs. I heard about this boutique through my mom and I soon as I visited their website, I knew that I would love to work with them. On their "About Us" section they talk about spreading God's love with every customer and order; every order placed a portion is donated to charities such as the American Bible Society, My Stuff Bags and more. I love that this company is very charitable and willing to help out others through their business. I think that is a very rare find these days. 

I picked out two completely different looks to show just how wide of variety they offer. My favorite is the mint dress, that is great for a night out. I just love how free flowing it is and the color is perfect for spring and summer. I think this would also look great with a belt to show off the waist.  I paired it with some pointy kitten heels from Zara to dress it up even more. I didn't feel like this needed a lot of jewelry, so I decided to pull my hair back and show off these darling Kendra Scott earrings. 
The second look, is more boho and carefree. Wouldn't this be perfect for all those summer outdoor concerts?! This tunic is so soft and easy to wear. I love all the weaving and the fringe at the bottom, it gives it a very unique look. I paired this with my "John Lennon" sunnies, stone bangles, boyfriend jeans and a great pair of metallic braided sandals. This look just screams summer!

I highly recommend checking out their website. Everything is very affordable, and the clothing is high quality. I know you will be able to find something you love.
* If you place an order now through May 9th you are entered in a chance to win a $250 shopping spree! 

Happy Shopping!
