My Best Buy’s For The Month of April
Can you believe it’s already half way into the month of May?! Time sure flies by when you are busy and having fun. I wanted to start a new segment on CCG that gives you, my readers, a look into my favorite purchases for each month. I get so many questions about my latest finds that I figured this would be a straight forward and easy way to showcase all these fab pieces that you ask about. So read on to see what my top picks and best buys were for the month of April.
1. Green Gingham Dress
You can’t go wrong with a gingham dress! It doesn’t matter what color, I love it and want it all! This past month, I scooped up this dress by MDS Stripes. I love the vintage housewife feel of the silhouette and the fact that it has pockets. I usually gravitate towards the midi length which is what this one is as well.
2. Floral Loafers
One shoe I love wearing with all my midi skirts and dresses is a cute loafer. These floral hand knit ones made By Paige, are no exception. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they are unique and go with so many of my outfits. I have worn these with skirts, dresses, jeans, and cropped pants. They are true to size and such a good buy.
3. Pamela Munson Wicker Bag
I sure love a wicker bag! Hands down, one of my favorite purchases EVER. I carried it during our trip to Mendocino shown, here. Every Spring, I pick a new bag for the season and I am so happy I went with this one. It’s the most adorable basket bag and I love the white handle details.
4. Elizabeth and James McKinley Sunglasses
If you have been following me for a while, you would notice my love for retro sunglasses. Not only did I purchase these in pink, but I also scooped up a pair in a subtle yellow color as well. They fit well on my narrow face and compliment the outfits I wore in Mendocino. That post in linked above under number three.
5. Target Pajama Short Set
I feel like every time I go to Target, I leave with a pair of pajamas. I recently came across the most adorable pajamas sets and they are oh so comfy! The best part……they are under $20!!!
This week is my birthday and I have purchased some amazing home items that I will be sharing with you in the next couple weeks. So stay tuned!

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #holidayappetizers is soooooo easy to make and so cute too! Take your Holiday party to the next level with this simple and fun brie recipe!
•store bought frozen roll dough (thaw and let rise for 3 hours)
•8 oz of brie
•1/2 stick of melted butter
•1 tsp minced garlic
•1 tbsp Italian seasoning
•fresh rosemary sprigs
•fresh cranberries
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a piece to parchment paper and a cookie sheet, set your brie in the middle. Place the roll dough balls around your brie. Slather the rolls and Brie in the melted butter (mixed with the minced garlic). Sprinkle seasoning on top and bake for approx. 20 min. Add rose mark and cranberries as garnish once out to the oven. This is such a crowd pleaser and quick to make. We’ve also used fresh dough made by my hubby (he’s the bread baker 🤣) and that works amazing too! Let me know how you like it! Enjoy! #recipereel #holidayrecipes
You guys….it actually rained here today! And it’s cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesn’t exasperate my #potssyndrome 🙌🏻 Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didn’t run errands, I didn’t clean anything. It’s been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. 🤣 #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This one’s a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
•one package store bought puff pastry
•mini brie
•pumpkin butter
•egg for egg wash
•cooking twine
•cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel
#ad #WalmartPartner I’m getting my home ready this Fall for all my overnight Thanksgiving guests with @walmart 🙌🏻 Through this holiday season, I want to make my guests feel at home and as comfy as possible. I have the @zinus 8 inch Cooling Mattress for ultimate coziness. It’s super easy and convenient to set up and feels amazing. Plus, I use @snuggle_bear Blue Sparkle Fabric Softener on my linens to give it that added touch! It’s formulated for longer lasting freshness* #Walmart is my Holiday go-to this season! #IYWYK
(*vs previous formula)
#happyhalloween from #freddiemercury and #edwardscissorhands Nicky’s chest hair is my favorite part. 🤣 #halloween2024

SO happy it’s not 100 degrees this week and we’re actually having cooler mornings. It’s Finally Fall! #sweaterweather
Added #Maui to the wall…… can’t wait to add to the collection next trip 🙌🏻🤣
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I mean…..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. 🤣
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui 🌊 Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thing’s for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and we’re already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not 🤣).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. I’m going to need another vacation after this vacation. 🙈 Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next trip… 🤣
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo 🤣… how’d he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of here…. #maui
#ad On my daily Target run, I grabbed some of my favorite @Ghirardelli Mint Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares! 🙌🏻 These rich milk chocolate squares are filled with mint and crunchy chocolate cookie bits. And did I mention they’re available all year long, not just during Holiday season. We LOVE all things #Ghirardelli and these are no exception. They make the best treat after a day of mom life! So pick up a bag or two @target
Love when my closet is organized. Does anyone else like to clean their house before leaving for a trip? I hate coming home to a mess, so I clean beforehand! #closetorganization #blueandwhiteforever
Sharing more of my Favorite @julievos jewelry 🙌🏻 The majority of these pieces are from the “Sanibel” collection! I love timeless, classic gold jewelry and @julievos is no exception! They pair well with just about anything and polish off a white button down perfectly! Do yourself a favor and snag a few baubles of your own. #julievos
Whatever your style may be, I think it’s really important to make your primary bedroom a sanctuary. The blue hues really cheer me up each day. I think I read somewhere once that blue is a calming and serene color. Well, that color has thrown up all over my house and I LOVE IT. 🤣 #blueandwhiteforever #blueandwhitedecor
Finally! It feels like Fall! Love this lightweight field jacket paired with my favorite Levi’s. Jacket and shoes are on sale and the price is 👌🏻
