YOU GUYS!!!!! We are coming in to my favorite time of year and I am so excited to share some of my favorite holiday decor and gift guides for the special people in your life. We have already started decorating and figured most of you will be starting soon as well. We purchased a lot more this year as we will be celebrating Christmas with my side of the family at the cabin, and plan on making it a yearly tradition. Sledding down the hill from our cabin on to the lake, ice skating, ice fishing, winter bonfires, etc.

I have created these guides with items that fall in to every budget. From my family to yours I truly hope you have the best holiday season with family and friends.

With Grayson’s help we created this gift guide for the younger boys. LINK.

Thank you to Austin for helping create this gift guide for the teen boys in your life. LINK.

Fall is my favorite time of year and the apple orchard with the fam is a must. I am big on tradition. We do the whole apple orchard thing in the afternoon. In the evening we make chili for dinner and apple crisp, with fresh picked apples, for dessert. We eat our apple crisp while watching our favorite fall movie, Hocus Pocus.

We decided to go to a smaller, less busy, apple orchard this year. We used to go to this one all the time when the kids were much younger. OUTFIT!!

We stayed at a Marriott property, in Orange Beach, walking distance from the Wharf Amphitheater. We grabbed a delicious dinner on a patio overlooking this cute marina area. Yes…..Ethan was obsessed with this OUTFIT!!

We had so much fun at Whitney’s wedding. My forever wedding date. OUTFITS!!

Grooms dinner outfit of the night!! Jeans, shirt, and shoes all true to size. OUTFIT!!

Sweater sized up to medium. Skirt & boots true to size. OUTFIT!!

This entire cute fall OUTFIT brought to you by Amazon.

Love this cozy sweater and loafer slippers from Target, paired with Madewell jeans. Slippers true to size but sized up to medium in sweater. OUTFIT!!

Finally got some Mixtiles up at our cabin. It is feeling more and more like home. Use code IG35 for 35% off orders over $139.

It was tough to get up to the cabin this fall with the boys football schedule. So we were a little late getting boat out and our Water Volleyball Set. Let’s just the say the boys had a 30 minute cold plunge to get this work done.

She loved all of her great grandberries (grandkids). Austin & Nevaeh.

Major throwback here. One big happy family.

Time flies when you are having fun. Where did October go? What an amazing month. As you will see from the photos below we had a lot going on this month.

Grayson wrapped up his football season with a win at the MN Vikings US Bank Stadium. He had the perfect season and went undefeated. Ethan loved coaching again this year. Austin is playing amazing as well and his team is in the middle of section playoffs. Nevaeh continues to enjoy her 2 dance classes as they work towards their Winter Showcase, taking place in January.

We did a quick weekend at the cabin to get things ready for winter and dock removal. Ethan had bought concert tickets to both Cody Johnson and Post Malone for my birthday. These were back to back weekends. He ended up finding tickets for Post Malone in Orange Beach, AL, which ironically enough was a couple days before our friend Whitney’s wedding, which was also in AL a couple hours away. Both concerts were AMAZING!!

Whitney’s wedding was incredible. She talked me into coming out of retirement to do her makeup. She didn’t have to try too hard, lol. We are so happy for her, Matthew, and the kids. Lastly, we obviously made sure to make it to the apple orchard as a family. Enjoy this snapshot into our October.

At the very end of October we got the news that my Grandma, mother’s side, got diagnosed with stage 4 esophogeal cancer. It had already spread to liver and she decided to not go through chemo. She was put on hospice immediately and things progressed rather quickly. I was able to get out to California with my mom and sister right away and spent 3 days with her and my aunt until she passed the evening of October 25th. I am heartbroken but so happy I was able to see her and that she isn’t in pain anymore. Love you Granny Ree Ree.

Cody Johnson was absolutely one of my top 3 favorite concerts ever. He was so engaging with the audience. He preached and talked about chasing your dreams, not giving up, and not letting the naysayers affect you. OUTFIT!!

Our seats were so close and it was so worth it. He is one of my favs.

Once again, Ethan had surprised me with incredible seats. This outdoor venue was soooo cool. Posty absolutely killed it. Also, how have I never heard of Muscadine Bloodline?!?!?! They opened for Posty and were also incredible.

A dear friend and one of the most beautiful brides I have done makeup on.

Those eyes though!! They are poppin. So happy that Whitney found the most loving, gentle man in Matthew. So happy for their new little family.

We are loving watching Austin play varsity football this year. He is getting a lot of playing time and making a big impact. All his hard work is paying off. I thought this Crew from Abercrombie was appropriate. Obviously had to match it up with these red Adidas Gazelle shoes.

Grayson’s team ended up having the perfect season, undefeated. The local youth program was able to set up an end of the year scrimmage/game at the Vikings US Bank Stadium. It was so cool watching him play where our NFL team plays. He was pumped. Ethan & Austin were coaching from the sidelines and Nevaeh & I got to join for pictures at the end.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my grandma. She was the funniest, spunkiest, sassiest, bubbliest, and loving grandma. We will all miss you dearly.

My sister and I with grandma, in our teenage years. Can you see the resemblance?

And I’m off!! This was such a comfortable travel outfit. I am obsessed with these camo pants from Walmart. Check the LINK for all my travel favs!!

Loved these Schutz Laura Suede Mules in Dark Caramel. I paired them with multiple outfits at LTKCon.

If you have been following me for any period of time you know my silver fox, Ethan, was absolutely obsessed with this OUTFIT!!!

2 of my favorite humans and fellow content creators that I adore. Kris, and Claire. Also I loved this OUTFIT!! So simple, yet so sleek and stylish.

Another shot of this OUTFIT to show the back.

LTK always goes over and above for us. Champagne for the awards night.

I love these 2 so much. I actually roomed with Kris this year and love her so much. Claire and I have been on 3-4 trips together ranging from LTK, Trend management team trips, and brand trips. OUTFIT!!

Just another shot of me and Kris, cause I love her so much. Also, this rooftop was amazing. OUTFIT!!

I’m convinced they got these stemless champagne flutes with covers and straws just cause they knew I was coming. #spiller.

LTKCon 2024 was amazing this year!! This event took place in Dallas, TX again. Even though I was completely exhausted from my Trend Management trip, the previous week, I knew this event was going to be amazing. I got to catch up with content creators I already know and love, but also got to meet so many new creators that I have been following and admiring for years. I networked and learned so much from these amazing women. I still came home exhausted but with a full heart and so many ideas I will be implementing in my own business. There is nothing quite like women empowering women. I hope you enjoy getting a little snapshot into my time at LTKCon 2024.

Loved this business casual conference OUTFIT!!

These are some of the most genuine women I have ever met. Some were already friends and others I had dreamed of meeting. They have the most beautiful souls and I am inspired by all of them. From left to right: Jessa, Yours Truly, Claire, Jen, and Jena. Also OUTFIT!!

As I mentioned above I paired these shoes with many OUTFIT’s, including this one.

Absolutely loved this OUTFIT for one of our formal evening events. Also had my makeup done by Alexis Jane Makeup, who is Dallas based. She does incredible work. As a former makeup artist sometimes it feels so good to let someone else work their magic.

All dressed up for awards night!! Heather, Kris, Jen, and I. Again OUTFIT!!

This was such a cool surprise. Our very own performance from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I’ve watched their Making the Team show and see how hard their training and job is. Nothing but respect for these ladies.

Just a little morning self care going on. Love my Maree Under Eye Gel Patches. You know I need my caffeine right away in the morning. If Starbucks isn’t an option you know I love my Alani energy drinks. My favorites are Orange Kiss, Juicy Peach, and Witches Brew (seasonal). Last but certainly not least you have to check out my favorite pajamas and robe from Tommy John. Use code CORT30 for 30% off.
