Pop of Leopard

Happy Monday loves! I am back!! Sorry I decided last second to go on complete vacation mode and not post last week. I really wanted a 100% break to really be present with my family and to relax and it was amazing! I can’t even remember the last time I took a full week break (if ever) so it was a nice time to recoup, but I am also glad to be back! We had such a wonderful time in Charleston but it definitely went by way too fast! Also how is Christmas only 9 days away!? I swear this holiday season has been wayyyyy to short! I am not ready for it to be over yet! We had gorgeous weather the first two days in Charleston and then a cold front came through and it was super chilly! I wore this super cozy turtleneck one of those days with my new faux leather leggings. I finally jumped on the Spanx leggings bandwagon and ya’ll they are so good! Totally worth the hype! Super comfy and so slimming! I am in love! I threw on my new leopard combat boots to add a little funk to this look and ya’ll I am obsesseddddd with these boots! I love the zipper detailing along the bottom and they are currently half off!! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Strollin’ Around Disney

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of UPPAbaby. All opinions are 100% mine.

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles talks about the best theme park and travel stroller and does a review on the UPPAbaby MINU stroller

Happy Thursday loves! Thank goodness it is almost the weekend! So you all know how much we love our theme parks and love bringing Sawyer with us to enjoy them! When we started going to the parks a lot I knew I wanted to invest in an awesome compact stroller. I wanted something that was small, easy to fold up, light, and easy to maneuver. You all know how much I love our UPPAbaby VISTA (you can see my review here) so when I saw that UPPAbaby also had a compact foldable stroller, the MINU, I knew it would be just as amazing! We have gone to Disney multiple times and Universal with our MINU and I could not be happier with this stroller! It rides so smooth because of the all wheel suspension just like their larger strollers and Sawyer loves it as well! He naps so good in this stroller because of the muti position incline. It also has the UV pull down shield for extra sun protection! The basket at the bottom is nice and large and fits our baby bag perfectly along with a small cooler. The one foot break is super easy! Also something most people wouldn’t think of on a stroller but it doesn’t have the bar going across the back wheels like most compact strollers have. We had another compact stroller we used before this one that had the break in the middle of the wheels and Griffin being 6’3 kicked it constantly! This stroller he can push very comfortably! Not to mention this stroller is beautiful and has a full grain leather handle and comes in a few different colors! We got the Jake and I love the black frame with the mélange fabric!

As for the fold, it is super easy! I can even do it while holding Sawyer! All you do is lock the brake, push the lever over with your thumb that is in the middle of the handle, squeeze the button and push the handle down. Super simple! Then there is a shoulder strap at the bottom so you can carry the stroller on your shoulder making it so perfect for travel. The MINU folded up will even fit in most overhead compartments on an airplane. Another amazing thing about this stroller is that it is compatible with our MESA carseat and a few other brands as well with the adapters. All you do it take off the fabric and click on the adapters and boom it becomes a travel system on the go! It also has a From Birth Kit where you can attach a Bassinet-like solution. We also have the travel bag that makes it super easy to store and travel with since you can wear it as a backpack! Overall we are super happy with UPPAbaby MINU for a theme park stroller and travel stroller! We love how compatible the stroller is and we can wait to use it on our first trip next month! <3

Holiday Decor

Happy Hump Day babes! Thank goodness we are half way through the week! This girl is ready for the weekend! With all of this holiday decorating I have been craving all the Christmas decor! I always love to add a few new pieces of decor every year and I may to add some new pillows! How adorable is this Santa throw pillow?! Also I need this gorgeous blanket! It looks so cozy too! I love to add a little bit of rustic to my Christmas decor and this wreath and garland are so pretty! Do you all put up your Christmas decor before or after Thanksgiving!? <3

Denim & Suede

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a great weekend! It has been CHILLY here in Florida so we decided to put our Christmas decor up. I can’t remember the last time we got to put the Christmas decor up when it was actually cold haha! Although we’re going to put the tree up sometime this week! It has definitely been boot weather and I cannot get enough of these gorgeous suede boots! I have been wearing them non stop lately! I paired them with this adorable little dress that is on major sale right now and paired it with a denim jacket for some extra warmth. I finished the look with my favorite sunnies and crossbody. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles stays at the best Universal Hotel Endless Summer resort and talks about how it has transportation to Universal Parks

Happy Friday Eve loves! Was it me or did this week fly by?! So if you follow me on Instagram you know Griffin, Sawyer, and I went on a little staycation 2 weeks ago to Universal and had the most amazing stay at the new Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn! Seriously it felt like a beach vacation with the fun beachy decor! We stayed in a two room suite, which was perfect for putting Sawyer to bed early and getting to enjoy some take out and scary movies in the evening just the two of us! During both days we spent the whole day at the parks! It was so easy to get to the parks from the resort since they have a shuttle bus that takes you right to City Walk that run every 10 minutes! Last year when we took our Universal staycation I was pregnant so I couldn’t ride any rides so I definitely made up for it this year! We rode every roller coaster, some twice, and it was so much fun!! Before heading to the parks one day we spent the morning by the amazing pool at the resort, that is surfboard shaped! Also there is a Starbucks in the hotel and the amazing Beach Break Cafe so we were able to get breakfast and coffee to bring by the pool! We definitely kept it more low key this year, because parent life, but we still had the best stay at Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and the such a fun time at the Universal Parks! I cannot thank them enough for being such a fabulous host for our staycation! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! <3
