Please excuse the quality of this photo... Pay attention to the message! :)

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL! RISE AND SHINE!!

Why? Because the NSale is ON and POPPING baby! That's right, EVERYONE can shop this amazing sale starting this morning and man, let me tell you.. you better get to shopping if you don't want to miss out on these amazing deals!

No worries loves, you know I always have your back right? So, along with the first two posts that are already live about the sale here and here, I'm throwing in ANOTHER one with even more amazing deals that I don't want y'all to miss out on. Of course, I've been on the Nordstrom site pretty much every day since the sale launched (sad, I know), so I've ran into a lot more things I know y'all will love just as much as me! I want to do the hard work for you and make this your one stop shop for all things #NSale related okay?

Camo Romper and Gladiators

Happy HUMP DAY! :)

I hope you all have had an amazing week thus far. It has been crazy busy for me at work lately, so my days have been flying by and I can't say I'm complaining! One step closer until Friday!

Shop With Me | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dressing Room Chronicles

Hey y'all! Happy Monday!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend. Weekends just go by way too fast for me these days. I blink and it's Sunday and time for me to go back to Illinois. Nevertheless, I did get a lot of rest this weekend and spent some time doing some things I love to do. One of those things was shopping at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale with my Mom!

Friday Favorites | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Happy Friday lovelies!

SUPER excited because one of my all time favorite sales of the year is finally here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access Sale is the best because you get to shop some of the CUTEST fall staples super early and at SUPER cheap prices! There are not many things I love more than Fall and an amazing sale. I haven't had a chance to hit the store in person just yet, but I have made an order online and I can't wait for my new fall staples to arrive! I really think this sale is bigger and better than last year. I don't know, maybe I just took a little more time to browse and shop this year, but it feels like things are cheaper! I can't wait to share what I got plus some things I'm eyeing to buy later on (if it doesn't sell out). LET'S SHOP LOVES!! :)

Queen, I Support You!

Hey lovelies!

Happy Hump Day!

It has been awhile since I wrote one of my "no filter" posts, but I'd say it's about time I get some things off of my chest. I always have so many ideas float into my head to write about, but eventually I end up just either drafting it or scraping it all together because I'm like "naw.. too deep Jam, too deep". Y'all know what though? This is therapeutic for me, so I'm about to start not really caring if it's too deep or not. If you rock with it, I appreciate you. If you don't, that's okay too.. you still cool in my book. :) Now let's get into this!

Tennis Shoes and Mini Skirts

Happy Monday beauties!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had a pretty good time with my husband and relaxing at home. Saturday I really just spent the day catching up on rest and running a few errands, and we bought some furniture for our home which I'm super excited about! With all of the stress of my new position at my job and all the traveling, we haven't really spent much time on furnishing our home. Mainly because I'm never there, but it was super exciting to finally get some stuff and I can't wait to show you guys the rooms as we finish them.

Blues and Bows

Hey y'all! Happy Hump Day! :)

I hope you all have had a great week thus far and you're making it over the hump with ease! I'm a little in my feelings because I feel like all I've been doing lately is working. It has been really hard on me being away from my family and friends and only being home like two or three days at a time. Not only is it exhausting, but it's weighing a lot on me emotionally as well. I enjoy my job and what I do, but all of this back and forth traveling is weighing heavy. Anyway, enough of my "blues", let's talk about these blues I'm wearing!

25 - The Year of Letting Go

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Today, I wanted to talk a little about my 25th year of life and how I truly feel like I've done so much growing this past year. I'm not sure if this is something everyone does, but when my birthday is approaching, I like to reflect and think about who I was before I turned the age I am, and who I am now right before I turn a new chapter/new age. After truly thinking about my year and how far I've come, I have named this past year "the year of letting go".

The Do's & Don't's of Buying a Home

OBSESSED with this welcome mat! Get you one here. :)

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! :)

I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I've been really on the go lately and it is starting to seriously wear me out. I got back in town from Chicago this past Friday, and yesterday, I flew back out here again. I love traveling, but all of this traveling back to back like this with barely any time at home in between is REALLY exhausting. I spent my Saturday at HOME and I didn't do anything at all until 4pm. Even then, I only left the house once to get something to eat. I was THAT TIRED y'all!

Not to mention, we still have so much unpacking to do in our house! Originally, we wanted to have our housewarming this upcoming Saturday because it is my birthday weekend (YAY!), but I am so glad we decided to push it back a few weeks because there's NO WAY we would be ready for that, haha! Anyway, enough of my tiredness, I'll be fine! Today, I wanted to talk to you guys about the home buying process and some 'do's' and 'don'ts' I learned along the way!

Gingham Style

Hey y'all! Happy FRIDAY!

I know the week is pretty much over, but I realized I didn't get to talk about this past Memorial Day weekend and this dress is screaming Memorial Day and 4th of July. I hope you all had an amazing three day weekend! I had the time of my life! Well, Saturday as you all know was MOVING DAY for the Johnson's so I am so happy to say that we are all moved in to our new home and it still feels so surreal! We have a lot of unpacking to do, but for the most part we are in and settled! Sunday, we were supposed to have a boat day with our friends, but we didn't end up going because the weather said rain. Well guess what? It did NOT rain! Not one drop! We still had fun though as we took the party to my friend's house instead. Monday was definitely all about relaxing and recuperating lol!

Jam's 26th Birthday Wishlist

Okay so y'all know I'm SUPER SUPER excited today right?!

IT IS JUNE 1ST! Which means that it is OFFICIALLY #JamMonth. WOOT WOOT!

I have always been super obsessed with my birthday. I usually start my countdown around April, but with everything we have had going on, it didn't really hit me until about a week ago that my birthday was coming up! 26.. I can't believe that I am turning 26 in 8 days. Y'all know this means I am no longer going to be on the young side of my 20s... but the side closer to 30! Lord Jesus, take the wheel because I don't know how to feel (BARS!).

Spring Cleaning with ThredUP

 

Hey guys! Happy Tuesday!

Thank you so much to everyone who has shown so much love to my husband and I after our announcement! We are seriously so excited to be moved into our very first house. I can't wait to share all of the spaces as we decorate them and turn our house into a home with you guys. It will be a pretty slow process as we are wanting to take our time and not buy everything at once, but whenever we get it done, I promise to share details with all of you!

So as we were packing up our apartment to move, we threw A LOT of stuff away. Some things we had accumulated over time, and some things we had when we moved in three years ago and never touched it once. We knew that we did not want to take a bunch of stuff to our new house that we weren't using or that we didn't want, so we decided to throw it out before hand.. and for me, that meant doing a little spring cleaning on my overflowing closet! Now, unfortunately, we waited to the last minute on some of our packing, so by the time it got to my closet, I could NOT clean. I just packed it all up and said I'd clean later. Well... it's later! :)

We Bought A House!

 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord Lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. - Numbers 6:24-26 

Hey Lovelies! :-)

I know I have been slightly MIA lately and I hope this kind of explains it. There has been A LOT going on between me getting a promotion at work, to me doing lots of traveling because of that, to the subject of this blog post! I am SO SO excited to be writing this post right now you guys! This has been a super long and strenuous process, but I am so happy to say that after months and months of uncertainty, prayers, and tears, my husband and I have finally closed on our very first home! I seriously can't stop smiling because this has been a LONG time coming.

WE GOT THE KEYS!

Free People Dress + A Gorgeous Mural

Hey y'all!! Happy Hump Day!

I hope you all have had a great week so far! I'm happy to say that I don't think I will be traveling this week, so it will feel really good to be at home with my hubby and out of the airports for a while. This past weekend I spent a lot of time resting and relaxing because all of this traveling has honestly worn me out. I needed to take some time and just lay around the house and I mean, I think we all need that every now and then!

Feeling Edgy w/ Flowers & Gladiators

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend! I had so much fun this weekend spending some much needed time with the hubby. We went on a few dates and even a double date yesterday with some friends. We also did some shopping and running errands, but you guys will hear more about that in a few weeks. :) As you all know, I spent last week in California, so it was cool to come home and be able to catch up with him. I've told you guys many times the importance of making sure you take time for your relationship. Get some dates in and spend that quality time. You'll be so glad you did!

Coral Pants + a BIG Bow

Hey lovelies! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I hope you guys have some fun things planned for the day/night! I have been in San Bernardino, California all week for work and I will be heading back home in a few hours. It has been HOT and I have been extremely busy, but oh my gosh I have LOVED it here! Have y'all ever been to San Bernardino? As far as I have seen, there isn't a WHOLE lot to do, but it is so beautiful here! Every where I look, I see mountains and I could definitely get used to that view everyday. It calms me. I'm not totally sure, but I think I am getting a much needed tan and it is isn't anywhere near as humid here as it is back home in Nashville. I just wish my hubby could have been here with me, but last minute work trips are hard to plan for. Hopefully next time, he can come!

Mother's Day Gift Guide for ALL Moms

Happy Hump Day Lovelies!

Today's post is extra special because it is all about my beautiful Mom. As you all know (or you should know) Mother's Day is right around the corner, and it is only right that we show the Mom's in our lives just how much we love and appreciate them. My Mom has always been my rock and anyone who knows me will tell you that she has my back to no end and has always and still does anything she can for me. I appreciate her so much and can only hope to be half the Mom she is to me one day to my own children!

Love and Marriage | Spice It Up!

You been with your man for some years now and you're starting to get lazy sis. You used to pull out the sexy lingerie on a regular, wear those high heels he loves and that dress that he wants you to wear every time you go out. Bro, you getting lazy too.

Best Spring Dresses under $50

 

Hey lovelies! Happy Monday!

We have made it to the LAST Monday of April. I hope you all had a great weekend. I spent my weekend taking are of my hubby who had his wisdom teeth removed. For you married gals out there, you know that I was dealing with a big baby! I'm glad he's feeling better now though. :) Anyway, this year is just moving right along, isn't it? May is literally right around the corner now and I just can't believe it! I feel like April just started and now we are bringing up the rear end of it. If you're anything like me, by this time of the month, you're already thinking about the plans you may have in store for next month, and if you're anything like me, you know next month will be BUSY.
