Getting Cozy In Here

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I have decided to put up a last minute fall/birthday/lazy wish list!  I love any and everything cozy, and just really want to have my windows open and snuggle on the couch with my family this time of year! (except for the fact that it is still hot outside....so we just turn up the ac and fans and pretend)

Last night was our first night in over two weeks that we haven't had practice for one of the kids, so we hung out in our pjs, ate popcorn, and watched halloween movies!  While I lOVE that my family is so active in sports, I honestly miss nights that we have ZERO plans!  I guess we can just continue to pray for rainy nights with closed fields if we feel the need to relax.

1 /  2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

I am pretty sure that it is obvious that I like anything cozy!  I am 100% a jeans, tshirt, and flannel kind of girl!  I have a closet full of super cute high heels, and I honestly only wear them to the movie theatre because I hate walking in them.  This whole board just seems so cozy to me, and I want to jump in it!

1- I LOVE sunglasses!  Not always trendy glasses, I like more of a classic pair that I can just keep in the car and have it match whatever I am wearing. These glasses are seriously on sale 25% off with code "family25"

 2- This candle is my FAVORITE! I stock up every year so that they will last me at least till beach season is back!  Just go to target, smell it, and thank me! YUM!!!!!

3-I was not sure that I would wear leopard shoes, because animal print really isn't my thing!  I purchased a cheaper pair last year at Target, and they have been GREAT but they have seen better days!  I am honestly in love with adding leopard in small doses (belt, shoe, scarf) and these shoes  look super cute and are also 25% off with the code "family25". I can't decided if I like them with the brown strap or black.

4- I went on a mall date with my daughter last weekend and we think it is the BEST to take a TON of clothes into the dressing room and just have a fashion show.  We did JUST that at the Gap and I honestly fell in love with this sweater! It has super long arms, which is my FAVORITE feature in a sweater because I LOVE using the sleeves as gloves! If that's your thing....YOU NEED THIS!

5- I have a serious obsession with blankets!  I honestly had this blanket STILL IN THE BAG from last year!  I purchased it around Christmas on sale, and put it away with my fall decorations for this year! It is on clearance now, so if you are into plaid, blankets, and just soft....you should check it out! It also comes in a darker brown, which is just as fall-ish!

6- It is no lie that I walk in my house, and throw on sweatpants!  Even in the dead of summer.....I wear sweatpants!  I am thinking these babies need to be added to my thermal collection!  And yes, it does get cold here....and no....we never turn our heater on so in the winter it can be in the 50's in my house in the morning!  I NEED THERMALS! :) I may have already surprised myself with these.

7- I purchased these slippers last year in tan, and I wore them every single day! I LOVE them!  They are on sale again and available in 3 colors! I wonder if that is overkill to have all 3 colors?

8- Wearing fun socks is really just to brighten your own day! Who really sees them under your boots?! I wear them on that off chance that I go into someone's home and everyone is taking their shoes off by the door!  THAT'S WHEN I WILL SHINE! ha!

I also wanted to thank you all SOOOO much for all of the love with our collaboration with Jessica Garvin on our "I Put A Spell On You" shirts!  I think my favorite part of my job is getting pictures tagged to me with everyone in their shirts!  Keep them coming and tag us at @kcsnead on instagram and #saseadecor.

A Little Halloween Twirl

So some days I like to dress up in my halloween clothes, walk over to my friend's house, and beg her to take pictures of my twirling around in my new favorite skirt!  Today was one of those days.....and I couldn't convince her to do it with me! 

I just wanted to show that you can totally dress up our tshirts for a night out this season.  I LOVE this skirt that I purchased at Brickyard Buffalo a few months ago but totally found one exactly the same if you are interested! (get ready to see the exact same outfit with our santa raglan and green skirt! When I LOVE something....I buy it in every color)

Shirt Without Bat, Basically The EXACT same skirt (use cartwheel app to get 25% off this week!)

We now have our Bat Shirts WITHOUT bows as well.  It is the exact same as the children's printed shirts, just for YOU! 

Sizes and Quantity are SUPER limited on our Halloween gear, so don't miss out!  There will never come a day when I can model, or even successfully pretend to....but it sure is fun to twirl in a skirt!

Feeling Fall-Ish

Fall is my FAVORITE.....but it honestly doesn't FEEL like fall until the middle of November in Florida.  I try to FEEL fall with clothes, candles, and turning my ac down low so that I can pull out the flannel pajamas nightly.  I am definitely convinced that this is the only season in Florida that is actually really missed.  Summer is HOT, winter is actually chilly....even cold some nights (not lying, it drops to the 30's at night here on occasion and that is COLD), spring feels beautiful.....BUT FALL....fall just doesn't happen!

I LONG for the days when I can wear boots, jackets are needed, and I can go for a run without feeling like I want to jump into a pool to cool off!

The hot weather is NOT GOING to stop me from adding a fun layer in the evening, or at least dressing in colors that remind me of what October should look like.  I was searching for a few pieces to shove in my purse and have ready the second the temperature drops low enough to need a jacket and I actually feel like I hit the jackpot at Forever 21!  I am also pretty sure that their clothes aren't of the highest quality for warmth...so I should be just find wearing these on 70 degree nights! SCORE!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 

• 1: This dress!!!!! I am sure that it would go down past my knees and I would need to hem it, but to me, this SCREAMS fall!  
• 2: I am LOVING the slit up the side of sweaters this season!  I love how it makes any shirt drape perfectly and doesn't show off your zipper or button on your jeans.  Not to mention this color just looks like a carmel apple , and that  is always a good idea! 
• 3:  I am getting this poncho and keeping it in my car!  It is the colors of my kid's soccer and baseball teams, short sleeves, has a pocket, and a hood! What's not to love! 
• 4: I believe that EVERY mom needs to have a poncho like this!  PERFECT for travel, sports games, throwing in your purse and adding to any outfit....AND I love how you can still see the shirt underneath! 

I am totally aware that I am NOT 21, and that I am actually closer to 40 than 21! I am totally okay with that! I have NO problem peeking my head in the store....BUT ONLY DURING SCHOOL HOURS SO THAT I DON'T FEEL SUPER OLD LOOKING AROUND WITH THE 16 YEAR OLDS!

I hope you all are enjoying your fall weather...whatever the weather may be! 

Homemade Halloween Party Ideas

October is my birthday month.....and when I found out that I was due in November with my son.....I KNEW THAT HALLOWEEN BIRTHDAY PARTIES WOULD BE A PART OF MY WORLD!!!!! This was possibly the most exciting news ever!!!!!

I have been lucky enough that my kids LOVE halloween as much as I do...and totally support my craziness to make sure that it is a blast!

Collin has had two Halloween birthday parties, and we just may plan one again this year.  I know that it is a little early...but anyone planning a Halloween party this year is probably on the hunt for ideas already....and I love sharing party ideas.

I am sure there are a billion amazing ideas on pinterest now...but these parties were planned prior to pinterest.....and 100% homemade party fun!  While I LOVE pinterest....I do miss having parties where the ideas were all mine, and nobody had ever seen them before.

Collin's 5th Birthday Bash

We (meaning I made them and my kids just told me what they wanted and drew pictures of how it should look) made all of the costumes this year and I think they turned out super cute.  Kacey was Ariel, Collin was Batman, My dad was Robin, I was Captain Hook, Chad was Mr. Smee, and My mom was a witch!  I LOVE THAT EVERYONE GETS INVOLVED!!!!!!!

Collin was beyond happy that my dad and him had matching costumes again! 

I may or may not have pretended the party was my birthday party as well! 

Party Games: 

Crafts: Flower pens for the girls, and vampire teeth for the boys

Dance Party/Freeze Dance:  There are halloween radio stations on pandora that crank out festive tunes ALL NIGHT LONG!  

Spoon Race: I painted golf balls to look like eyeballs, and we broke the kids up into two teams.  They had a great time running back and fourth and cheering on their buds.

Story In GraveYard:  This was my favorite part of the night!  My mom was a teacher and seriously kills it on her witch voice!  You could hear a pin drop because they were all a little spooked out! ha!

We had crafts for the kids.  The girl's made flower pens (just wrapping a pen with washi tape to attach a fake flower) and the boys colored vampire candy teeth.  I try to always have a craft because it MAKES the kids sit down and get their shyness out so that they can get silly for the rest of the evening. Seems to work! 

Collin's all time favorite game....FREEZE DANCE!  We had halloween dance party music and there was a LOT of jumping and screaming.  Soooo stinking cute! 

Collin wanted to have spoon races with golf balls that I painted to look like eyeballs.  

Once it got dark, my mom sat in a rocking chair in our "graveyard" and read "There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed A Bat" in her spooky voice.  THE KIDS SAT SOOOO QUIETLY AND LOVED IT!!!!!!! 

We passed out these bags of snacks for the kids to eat while they listened to the story.

Our graveyard. ha!  We used a tomato plant stand, a ball for the head, and just loaded it up with lights. 

Awful picture, but we saved milk containers forever and added lights and painted whatever collin wanted on them in black paint.  

Collin's 4th Birthday Bash

Collin wanted to be a bat...not batman...but a REAL bat! This was my favorite costume I have ever made!  These two crack me up! 

Kacey was Fashion Barbie and we sewed this entire costume together.  She LOVED the whole process, and so did I!

Before you could buy this costume, Chad and I made our own Where's Waldo gear!  Let's just say that finding a red turtle neck in Florida is NOT easy! 

This kid cracks me up!

I remember thinking how big he looked in this picture!  Now I am planning his 8th Birthday party WISHING I could go back and snuggle this little 4 year old! 

Party Games: 

Mummy Wrap: everyone grabbed a partner and tried to wrap them so that you couldn't see their costume at all. THIS IS NOT EASY! TOILET PAPER RIPS! 

Freeze Dance: Always a must for any of Collin's parties! 

Pumpkin Patch: I don't know why I can't find pictures of it....but we had a pump patch in the corner of our yard.  I purchased little pumpkins and let the kids each pick one and they decorated them with stickers, glitter glue, and ribbons.   I wanted to do paint, but it was a few days before Halloween and I didn't want everyone to ruin their costumes before the big night!

Dance Party: If there is Halloween music on....kids will dance!  We just let them break it down!

 Dance Party

Picking his pumpkins to decorate

My kids were so excited about Halloween that they were cutting and coloring pumpkins all month. We decided to tape them on the wall and and the kids LOVED it!

Bats....who doesn't want bats up their walls?! (it annoyed me then, but you can see that Kacey put her bat stickers on the wall as well....now it makes me miss my babies!)

 Halloween is the PERFECT time to let your kids have a party!  They are super cheap, the costumes are the best part of the night!  The music makes EVERYONE feel like dancing!  Parents have just as much fun drinking wine/beer and feeling like a kid again! Just do it......your kids will remember it forever!

Fall Style Is Here

Happy Fall!!!!! I am SO excited about some new styles that we have in the shop right now!  I love transitioning from Summer to Fall by adding light layers.  It is still beyond hot here in Florida, so I will be wearing these layers with shorts for at least another month, and I am totally okay with that.  Each one of our new designs are long, thin, and totally flattering.

Thank Full: This off the shoulder 3/4 sleeve raglan is a MUST!  I am in LOVE with the gold foil lettering with the plum colored shirt!  It SCREAMS fall to me, and I love spreading the message that I am sooo full of thanks!  

Bra Off * Hair Up * Sweats On: This shirt basically sums up my Friday night! (If I am totally honest....it sums up EVERY night!)  This off the shoulder off white shirt with royal blue and yellow stripes is PERFECT for a night at home! 

Fiesta Like There's No Mañana: I have received SO many emails begging to bring back our Fiesta Like There's No Mañana gear!  We collaborated with Jessica Garvin again and could not be more excited!  This is a thin pullover and I honestly can't get enough of it!  It is a flattering fit with slits on the side that fit PERFECTLY over jeans!  This design is available in youth and ONSIES as well!!!!!! Start planning your fiestas now! 

If you are looking for super fun leggings to wear under your fiesta shirt, halloween gear, or just because you like polka dots.....THESE ARE A MUST and are totally on sale PLUS 25% off! 

Calling All Soccer and Baseball Mamas

I am a proud soccer AND baseball mom!  I pick my kids up from school, rush home to do homework, put a healthy meal on the table, fill water bottles....and head up to the fields 7 nights a week to cheer on my kids in their sports!  I love it!  I wouldn't change it for the world!

I have been seeing a ton of pictures on the weekends of my friend's taking their kids to soccer and baseball games...and I wanted to put a sale up on our best selling shirts.

Don't miss out on getting these babies in our shop for $18 (regularly $25) while supplies last!!!!!  You can check out our SOCCER MOM and BASEBALL MOM style for inspiration!!!!

Go Pink Or Go Home

I have to admit that I did not plan on making a Breast Cancer Awareness shirt, the thought didn't even cross my mind!  I feel awful about that!!!!

I received an email from Kelly and she simply asked if I was going to design a shirt because she had JUST been diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  I jumped right on it and knew without a doubt that I needed this reminder to make a shirt, sell hundreds of them, and then donate the proceeds! It was a no brainer!

We initially wanted to make a shirt that said "F*&% Cancer" but decided that it wouldn't be really cute for our daughters to wear that.  We threw a few other ideas around, but felt like we needed to make one shirt, with one vision, and one that everyone could wear!  I believe we accomplished that goal!

I paired the Neon Pink American Apparel raglan shirt, breast cancer ribbon, and our signature striped bow.....and gave it all a vintage vibe.  I added the vintage touch show that we are in support, we have been in support, and we will always be in support!

Kelly is just beginning her battle with breast cancer, and I plan to follow her every step of the way and will cheer her on as she kicks it to the curb!  You can follow her journey on her new blog HERE. She has the best sense of humor, spirit, and I couldn't be more excited and honored that she decided to ask ME to make a shirt.  

I am donating all proceeds to the charity of her choice The Cancer Support Center, and I can't even wait to write that check in her name!  

To order this shirt, check out our shop and preorder for you, for your friends, for your family, for a survivor, for a fighter, or for anyone that needs a little pink in their life.   We have this shirt available in adult unisex sizing and matching children's shirts!  Shipping will run from the last week in September-first week in October.  Let's be honest....this is not only an issue for the month of October...so you will be able to wear this baby all year long and shout your support! 

Breast Cancer Awareness Shirt

Let's all secretly rock this shirt and know that what it really means is "F%$# Cancer"!
