How amazing are these colorblock leggings from the Express activewear line {called EXP Core}?! The berry stripes down the sides are too cute and I love the matching strappy bra! I always like to bring a long sleeve tee with me just in case I get chilly and plus, I typically wear it during my warmup.  This open lattice tee has become one of my faves and it’s available in marled gray too! I’m currently loving all of the activewear items that are part of the EXP Core, so make sure to check out all of their items!

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
