I don’t know about you, but green is and has always been my favorite color. Maybe it’s the Irish girl in me that has me gravitating towards all shades of this pretty hue and who doesn’t love a green tweed jacket? It didn’t even occur to me when putting this look together, that is was the perfect St. Patrick’s Day look. Today on CCG, check out how I styled this green tweed jacket.



One thing I love about the transition from Winter to Spring is wearing colorful jackets to help pull a look together. When I came across this J. Crew jacket, I instantly fell and fell hard. Not only is the emerald color gorgeous, but the fit is perfect. I snagged this up on a 40% off sale day. This coat may not be available online on J. Crew, but lucky for you, I have found of few of these gems hiding online ready for the taking. Now isn’t that a St. Patrick’s Day sign, I think so!



I wore my favorite Levi’s overalls and a cute stripe tee to round off my ensemble. Hands down, my favorite pair of overalls ever. Before I bought these, I contemplated on whether a mom of 4 could pull off such a trend, and I am so glad that I didn’t listen to my 2 daughters, and bought them anyway! They are comfortable, they are reasonably priced and they are oh so cute! The beret, which I own in 6 different colors cost under $10! Can you believe it? Are you green with envy?
I hope everyone has a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day. I am still mulling over what funny surprises to leave the kids on Saturday morning. When I was in elementary school, I was convinced I saw a leprechaun in the park and went back to that same spot year after year looking for him. Now as an adult, I get to see how excited my own children get when it comes to things like this. It’s so precious.

green tweed jacket
I am a huge fan of wearing white all year round. It’s crisp, it’s fresh …
Wowee it’s November! FINALLY the weather here in California has gotten a little cooler during …
Wishing my room actually looked like this right now. It’s currently filled will piles of laundry waiting to be folded after our trip....
Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣...
I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.
I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all. You can also make in batches and reheat for later! You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!

•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes
•leftover Holiday ham for the win
•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)

Make sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat...
