I never thought I’d be writing an entire blog post about one sippy cup, but here we are. Long gone are the days when this blog felt more fashion-focused than anything. We’re getting REAL with our content these days. When Four first started using a sippy cup, I was honestly kind of overwhelmed with all of the options. Like literally had NO idea what to look for. We tried several…
Amazon Big Deal Days are back! This has become a fun event that Amazon started doing last year as a followup to the Amazon Prime Days sale in July. I really like it because you can start stocking up on things you might need in the fall or even get a head start on your holiday shopping (don’t worry, there’s a kids gift section below). There are some great deals…
There are few things greater than Christmas morning, am I right? Between showering your loved ones with special surprises and spending the whole morning lounging in your PJs, it is definitely one of my favorite days of the year. We also love to enjoy a big breakfast mid-morning that will hold us over until our early Christmas dinner. We don’t have a specific breakfast that we make every Christmas. Instead,…
Wow, what a year 2020 was!! So much to reflect back on and think about, too much TBH, ha. BUT, one of my favorite things to do at the start of every year is to share what products y’all loved most from the previous year. Not only is this data super helpful to me for content purposes but I just find it fascinating!! It’s like getting a small peek inside…
This is actually an article I’ve been wanting to write for a long time – probably years actually. It’s a topic I’ve thought about since middle school, and something I’ve wanted to conquer since forever. I kept pushing off writing it because I didn’t think I was *there* yet, or always felt like I still cared a little bit. and I mean, I do. I think we’d all be lying…
What I’m writing about today actually has me fired up and I’ve been SUPER excited to share this post. Does that make me a #nerd? Anyways, it’s something I think about often – how much I consume information and don’t necessarily let it sink it. Sure, I’ll learn some stuff, but am I really utilizing that information I just consumed as much as possible? Usually not. Unless I journal hardcore…
As I’ve been putting this post together, I cannot help but smile! I honestly can’t believe it’s all over and I’m kinda said it is, but I’m also so glad at the same time (ha!). But all that to say, it truly was the best day of my life. To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out which photos to put in this blog post because I didn’t…
It has been a minute since I’ve written a personal post just talking about life, but I’m super excited to be here today talking about my engagement! AHHHH, I still can’t believe I’m engaged! I keep catching my ring out of the corner of my eye and getting all giddy inside – the newness of all of it definitely hasn’t worn off! I’m want to relish every second of it.…
Hi hello there! Whether you’ve been on Team BTD for like…years, or if you’re somewhat new here, I thought it’d be fun to round up my favorite posts on the site EVER. Well, not only mine but the ones that I’ve gotten the most/best responses to and the ones that I feel really represent everything we’re trying to do here at BTD. We have done SO many posts over the…
I’m so excited I could literally burst! I’ve been working so hard over the past few days to create a super easy-to-shop guide for y’all that will SIMPLIFY this massive sale for y’all. There are thousands of items and it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what’s worth it – talk about analysis paralysis! In today’s post I’m focusing only on WOMEN’S FASHION. See the END OF THE POST…
Last week I shared a pretty laid-back post with y’all rounding up what I was buying for myself (like literally putting in my cart at the moment) from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I don’t usually do informal posts like that, but I really enjoyed putting that together so I figured I’d do something similar again this week. Who knows, maybe it will become a thing? Today I want to share just…
With summer officially kicking off tomorrow (#YAY!), I’ve been feeling so refreshed when it comes to fashion. You can probably tell from my Instagram, but it’s HOT in Dallas and summer style is in full swing. But instead of going out and buying all the things this summer, I’m trying really hard to be more mindful when it comes to consuming. Maybe it’s just me going through a phase, but…
If I’m being honest, being a full-time blogger was never my plan. I did not think this would be my story. If you would have told me years ago that at this point in my life I would be doing anything other than climbing the corporate ladder, I would probably be really disappointed. For the longest time, I took so much pride in my goal to make it to Wall…

The 30-year-old started her site in 2012, focusing primarily on fashion, and since then has marshaled quite the following.

As the site continues to…
I actually can’t believe it’s been a year since we were in Paris talking about spring trends last year, like WHAT?! I love doing these seasonal trends posts, and I hope y’all like them too! I think it’s safe to say that I wore my fair share of ruffles last year, along with statement sleeves, mules, and cold-shoulders from last year’s post – and I’m excited for what’s to come…
Adulting isn't always easy, especially when it comes to feeling like you have your life together. Believe me, I'm literally the worst. But I have LOTS of hope, and I kind of love the mess too. And I love learning IN the mess, you know? One of my resolutions for this new year is to try to make some changes that will result in me feeling like I have more control over my life, like for real. I've realized that it's possible to do this by making some pretty small changes. It's more about consistency and actually FOLLOWING THROUGH. I'm getting better! Here are 15 ways to make you feel like you have your life in order:
In Philippians 4:11, Paul talks about contentment; he says he has learned how to be content in all circumstances. It’s kind of funny if you read it; in typical Paul fashion, he says it super matter-of-fact. But I don’t think he means it’s the easiest thing to do. I think this is something he had to fight for every day. (Remember this is a single dude, who had sacrificed marriage and embraced singleness for the good of his gospel work. Before his death he will be shipwrecked, separated from friends, and imprisoned multiple times.)
This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a long time, but in all honestly, I simply haven’t felt ready. Time management has always been a weakness or a struggle point for me, but it’s something I’ve REALLY put effort into improving. On any given day, I feel like I have a million tasks in a million directions – and rarely did I feel like I was using…
