I do not use affiliate links, receive brand gifts, or use AI for posting. Thank you for reading! I haven’t done an outfit post since April, so we’ve got late spring and nearly all of summer to recap! You can tell this was from months ago because Georgia looks so tiny here! This was a button down Monday outfit, one of my standard formulas to help make getting dress

    “So Carroll told him his theory of coaching. His main job was to decide what emotions he wanted his players to feel every day and then foster an environment that created those emotions.

    Currently, I get my hair cut four times a year. I color my hair twice a year.
