Hi, I'm Chelsea! I’m on a mission to help you find joy and goodness in every day.
On this blog we talk about the big things (like chasing dreams) and the small things (like what books we're reading) because happiness comes in all sizes.
Getting to visit a sweet friend I hadn’t seen in three years. || Big fan of friendships that remain unchanged by time and distance.
Being able to go shopping with my best friend because she lives in my town now! || And buying an array of obnoxious earrings and sunglasses (AKA my summer uniform).
Jack making valentine’s for all his friends in class. || And by Jack, I mean me. And by me, I mean he barked very specific orders for for each valentine and I followed them. He was very particular. Like, throw that whole thing away mom because Griffin doesn’t like blue, only orange. When I dropped him off at school I was making a joke with his teacher about it and she, IN FULL SERIOUSNESS, said, “Well he’s right, Griffin hates blue.” So. There’s that.
Discovering Dillard’s Clearance center with my mom. || HOW HAVE I LIVED MY LIFE WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THIS MAGICAL PLACE?! Everything Dillard’s doesn’t sell gets shipped here, meaning you get brand new things for like 50-80% off. I will only be shopping here from now on, thank you.
Making more time to read. || I’m just a happier person when I spend more time reading.
Halo Top blueberry cobbler ice cream. || Oh my GRACIOUS this is delicious. It’s a healthier alternative than full fat, full sugar ice cream, but honestly I can’t tell a difference. It is so freaking good.
This face wash. || Magic. I saw Jenn from The Sister’s studio recommend this and thought I’d give it a try. SO GOOD. It’s cleared my skin up a lot!
Dillard’s Clearance Center. || See above. Then look up if you have one near you!
These mermaid nails. || These have brought me SO MUCH JOY. They also stayed on through shopping, a hot tub, and cleaning my bathtub. So, they’re winners.
What are your bright spots this month? And did you discover any fun new things?

Jack gives me all of the heart eyes. Those nails are too fun!
I do NOT have a Dillard’s Clearance Center and I’m not ok with that.
i JUST bought those nails too, i haven’t put them on yet. I’m wondering if I can put them on my super short natural nails, or if my natural nails need to be a little longer….?
I did not know that there was a Dillards clearance center in Orlando. *cough cough* “Yeah, work? I’m sick.”
Kidding. Unless….
Hmm. Might have to check out that face wash. And how have I never heard about these Dillards clearance places?? I wonder if there are any near me…
I WISH my bffs lived closer. One lives in town but between marriage, two kids, and a full time job we don’t see each other a ton. The other friend lives two hours away and the other in Tampa. SIGH.
We have a Dillard’s Clearance Center and I haven’t been yet! I need to go. Yay for your friend living in town now! I miss mine who lives in Texas, but always fun when she visits!
GIRL. You gotta go! It was magical!!
How dare you give Griffin Blue?!?!?! I wish there was a Dillards Clearance center near me. Or a Dillards. This is only like 1 Dillards and it is an hour away from me. RUDE!
I know, mistakes were made Griffin 😂 welllll guess that means you just need to take a little road trip to Florida!!
Mermaid nails were made for you!!! And I am a HUGE fan of all things clearance, so way to go on that Dillard’s find. (Also, I LOVE that Jack knows his classmates so well that he knew what they’d like on their Valentine’s.)
I’m OBSESSED with them!! And it was so so cute!
