Hello from the porch! 🙂
If you and I were sipping tea were rocking side by side (wouldn’t the be fun!) we’d be chatting about….
How excited I am to “renovate” the porch. Adding wood flooring or possibly just repainting the porch & finding some sort of self leveling solution for the dips and cracks, swapping out the shutters for a more classic louvered design, and adding a railing!!!! Not #1 on our reno priority list but a project I love thinking about! The porch is definitely my favorite place to be.
We’re all sick and home right now, this Weezie robe is making days at home a little bit sweeter.
Heading to Disney for a girls trip at the end of the month. 100% will be wearing this sweatshirt for the roadtrip down! My friend Grace introduced me to the vintage Disney goldmine that is Hot Topic! Who the heck would have guessed! *This is more of a t than a sweatshirt so size up.
While I try to share my favorites on both platforms, sometimes there are things that only make it to Like To Know It! So be sure you’re following along over there.
Recently read Lauren Akin’s Live In Love book and then I had to binge her podcast too! Love her heart!
I just paused my Rent The Runway membership to try Nuuly! I love RTR but there aren’t a ton of casual everyday pieces. I love the idea of renting trendy everyday pieces from Nuuly instead of filling up my closet with things I won’t wear for more than a season.
How I’m already planning the girls birthday party! Both girls have summer birthdays so we’re throwing a combined party at the beginning of summer. Love the idea of kicking off the summer with a bang and hopefully we’ll still have lots of friends join us before everyone’s traveling! Hopefully it’s a hit and we can make that our new bday tradition! I was originally thinking a princess party would be fun but AG requested an “It’s a Small World” party so I’m running with it! Here’s my Pinterest board with inspo.
Another day, another Target dress I bought every color of. I ADORE this balloon style dress and have been wearing it on repeat. Prettiest fit! Currently on sale for $20ish so I had to share!
I’ve been doing tons of research on photo book systems we can use to preserve our family memories. I have a ridiculous amount of photos on my phone so I’m leaning towards monthly photo books from Recently! I’ll have to play catchup on years past first. Also hoping to finish both girls baby books soon. Two major projects but both worthy of my time. These days fly by and I don’t want to forget a minute of it.
My Dudley Stephens tunic (cobble hill style – hits below the booty! see pic above) has been a wardrobe staple this season. So easy to pair with leggings for a quick & easy preschool drop-off look. Thinking about investing in the Greenpoint (slightly shorter length) in the vello white color. Would be an easy length to dress up and layer for warmer months!
These are the BEST princess dresses for little girls! They sent me a couple to try and I was so impressed with how comfy and cute they were! No over the top glitter or tulle which makes them easy to wash! Use code MCKENZIE at checkout for 20% off if you too have a little lady that loves dressup! We have the briar rose and the mermaid dress. Ps. These would be easy peasy to wear at Disney parks! I get asked about that a lot and I’m happy to share these easy-to-pack options. 🙂
Listened to Risen Motherhood’s social media series and decided it’s time to carve out some HARD rules for myself when it comes to social media and how I use it. More on this later but I’d encourage y’all to listen to the series yourself. Brings up lots of things to think and pray about!
I found the best mom jeans! I had ordered this top from AYR and started eyeing their jeans in the catalog that came with the order. But they were pricey! I tried about a dozen pairs of jeans in search of something trendy but not too forever 21. Mom appropriate but not like straight out of the 90’s. My friend Mycah convinced me to go for it after she fell in love with her pair. And I’m SO GLAD I DID. These are my favorite jeans I’ve ever owned and they make me feel good in my mom bod!

A little blog housekeeping for 2022!
I hope to share porch talk posts or shopping roundups (per your request!) on Monday, another post on Fridays and some sort of life lately recap each month.
I appreciate your feedback on my “blog survey” via Instagram. It’s so helpful to hear from y’all! 🙂
I’ll also be launching a few ebooks this year to help answer my most asked questions in depth! I am really excited about those resources!
Love y’all. So happy you’re here.
