Boy mom approved fall outfit

If your boys are like mine they have at least one pair of camo shorts or pants every season! Who says only boys can pull them off though? I found this cute pair of Gap stretch pants on eBay for a steal! Once the pants came in I couldn't wait to pair them for fall ready outfits & here are a few I came up with. 

Everyone needs a splurge!

I'm a biggy on eating healthy and working out. I plan ahead in order to have healthy opinions to fuel our bodies. Food is fuel for tomorrow, right? However, I looooove sweets! I cannot even put enough letters to express my love for sweets. So I save up my many miles and splurge on a weekly basis. Don't get me wrong, for the most part Monday -Thursday are a fish & broccoli kinda meal but come the weekend I pick one meal and indulge! That means pizza, cake, pancakes, whatever I am hankering! I make sure to even out the rest of the days meals with low fat & sodium & lots of aqua! So indulge people! We all need a treat every now & then.

Christmas photo tag

If you follow me on instagram (instagram.com/kaileyjeannn) or on facebook you know I'm CRAZY over pictures! I thought I would use my passion for picture to incorporate a more personal look for our Christmas present this year. I mostly took individual pictures but some if you prefer to find a picture of you with that person who the gift is for. I downloaded (or saved) the pictures to a file on my computer then uploaded them to walmart photo lab online. I selected wallet size which gives you two pictures (make sure to crop them before you press print). Then I took a tan looking old gift bag and glued the pictures to it. For some tags I used scrap book paper. I then personalized the back with names or clues about the gift. Lastly I punched a whole and put string through it. You can put your own personal touch to it and use any kind of string or ribbon.

Scarf organization

You can get this plastic door hanger at Walmart for $6 and spray paint it your desired color. Then I got curtain rings with clips to hang some on.

Race bibs & metals

Are you a runner or cyclist and collect your race bibs? Here is what I did with mind... I didn't have enough wall space nor did I want a wall full of bibs so I took a scrap book and used a page for each race, easy!

Yummy healthy treat

I never measure things out but this is a guess of how much I use, you might have to tweak ingredients: 1 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 tbsp coco powder, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tsp honey, 1 scoop protein powder. Mix all ingredients together, then roll in a ball & freeze!
