Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to over the past week.

Home Projects & Updates
We finally got around to hanging our full-length mirror in our bedroom. Kurtis hates using wall anchors in the drywall so we’d been avoiding it. But I’m glad to have it off the floor and on the wall! I can now more easily share some of my outfits again! We’ve used both sizes of this mirror before and still love it so much! The smaller one is currently in our guest bathroom but we also had one in our Omaha pool house bathroom and then the entryway prior to that!

When your friend asks if you want some free palm clippings while she has her saw out, you immediately say yes! Thanks Rachel for my fresh palms! Simple decor with little to no work 🙂 I’m already scheming ideas for a clipping garden I can plant in our backyard. I want year-round access to these fronds!

I’ve been on a major organizing kick these past few weeks. One thing I tackled was the back of our kitchen peninsula. We had hidden cabinets added the whole length, and to be honest, when we moved in, we just shoved things in to get the boxes unpacked. In the photo below, you can see what a disaster just one section was in the top photo. The bottom two photos show two of the more organized sections. Not perfect but so much better! I used these drawers and then some pieces from this Walmart set.
Welcome to my flower shop! JK. It’s just all the faux florals I pulled out of my cabinet in the garage 😉 I’m hoping to wrap up my post on the best spring florals and stems this week to be able to share next week! I’m just waiting on a few more to arrive.

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past few weeks, in case you missed some days!
Around Town & For Fun
We totally spaced taking any additional photos (so this one from last week will have to do), but Kurtis’ sister and brother-in-law were here most of the week! Kurtis and I both worked during the day (outside of the holiday Monday) while they went out exploring, and then we’d meet for dinner each night, followed typically by rounds of cards. It was such a fun week! Janine’s birthday was Wednesday, so we went to Paradis for dinner. Such a great meal. Pat ordered the special which was sheepshead fish. The waiter described it (sounded amazing) and then said they’re famous because they have human-looking teeth. We didn’t believe it until we Googled it and literally couldn’t stop laughing. They legit look like they’re wearing human dentures! But he said it tasted excellent!
I’ve been trying to be better about documenting my outfits lately. It’s hit or miss but I really am trying for you guys that have been asking! Here was a random dinner outfit one night. It was in the 40’s (and quickly dropping) so I was excited to finally put out one of my Dudley Stephens’ fleeces for the first time since we moved to Florida!

I met my friend Kirsten from Alma Homes in Seaside for coffee one day. She and I met in Las Vegas four years ago at a conference and have stayed in touch over the years on Instagram!
I wore the outfit below. It had started to warm up enough that I opted for my “winter” flip flops. They keep your feet surprisingly warm! I mean, I wouldn’t be wearing them in 40 degree or less temps, but definitely doable in the 50s and 60s!

After coffee, I did a little wandering and shopping in Seaside.
Whomever is in charge of the shelf styling at Seaside Style wins a lifetime achievement award, because every time I go in, I just love it all so much! The colors, the texture, the mix of products. Somehow they convince me I need one of everything I definitely don’t need 😉 I’m trying to be much more active on my Instagram channel again this year and share more real-time, so I also did a little Q&A about the town while I was down there!
It was pretty dang cold here most of the week, so I whipped up a batch of our favorite keto Zuppa Toscana style soup! It’s so hearty and so delicious! It uses cauliflower instead of potato, which sounds weird, but I actually love it!
We ordered in dinner with friends on Saturday night, and Kurtis and I managed to binge “Fool Me Once” on Netflix this week. It was really good and suspenseful, but I didn’t love the ending. But overall it kept us guessing throughout!
We had one set of family leave, and now my parents arrive this weekend for a week! My aunt and uncle from Kansas City will also be flying in during their stay. We then have Kurtis’ parents driving down shortly after my parents leave and will be staying for some time. It’s going to be a busy month ahead! Neither set of parents has seen our house finished yet, so it will be fun to show them around.
Then, Kurtis and I are headed to Anguilla at the end of February! We’ve never been before, so if you have, we’d love to hear your favorites and must-see/do recommendations! This is a trip we had planned to take in 2020, so I’m glad we finally are circling back to it!
With that, I’ve been working behind the scenes on some resort wear picks (lots of misses) but shared some Amazon favorites here yesterday. If you catch it before this afternoon when they expire, my Instagram Stories have me talking through each of the pieces in more detail. But I also plan to write it all out in my upcoming resort wear blog post, as well!

I love seeing your fashion style posts. They fit with my style, plus I am tall like you and wear the same size.
Can’t wait to see the resort wear. P.S. Absolutely love the WOW products.

to avoid using the drywall anchors, look for the 3M CLAW. it’s amazing. i’ve used it for a very heavy mirror and large artwork.
