Summer Shoes

-






I love shoes. They are fun and the right pair can make the difference between feeling comfortable and confident or ready to just go barefoot. I've rounded up a few of my favorite shoes for Summer--the comfortable, the classic, the cute, and the easy. All are quite affordable and good quality for all your Summer shoe needs.


Perhaps my favorite dress shoe, almost year-round, is a cute peep toe wedge. You'll probably notice that all of my choices are in a neutral, blush tone - it's my favorite and I won't apologize - but these are great in fun prints or a bright color for Summer, too. These have been my favorite, from Amazon, and only cost $25.99:





My most worn shoe this Spring has been this classic sandal from G.H. Bass & Co. If I could only shop at one shoe store for the rest of my life, it would be Bass. It's always been my favorite, and they have great deals at their outlet stores. They are also great quality and always comfy. I love these tassels that remind me of the classic penny loafer, in a warm-weather version. I did actually cheat and purchase these on Amazon, too, for $32.63, but I just saw that they are currently under $25:

These next pair of shoes are my easy, go-to, every day sandals. They stay within reach and I just slip them on any time I run out to check the mail or grab groceries. They are easy, but still look nice and classy. In the spirit of full disclosure, these are not my first choice to walk around in all day. They are not the most comfortable if I'm going to be on my feet for an extended period of time, but they're perfect for a quick trip or if I know I'll be sitting down. Mine are old, but Kohl's still had them on sale for $14.99 and in multiple colors:

Last, but never least, my beloved outdoor sandals. I wore Chacos for years and years, but these have honestly beat them in the battle for my affection. Jambu has quickly become a new favorite brand of mine, and these sandals do not disappoint. They are so easy and comfortable and I've worn them for days on end, through wet and dry, outdoors and indoors - they're perfect no matter the conditions. They currently have many other color choices with different pricing on Amazon, but these sage green ones are just over $45 right now:








These are a little more of a splurge, but compared to other outdoor brands it's still a pretty good deal and I am the hardest on  my outdoor shoes, which stay in my wardrobe for the longest period of time. In the end, they are worth it for me, though you may feel differently.


Have an excellent Summer and keep those feet cute and comfortable!



Best,
Emily

Pulled Pork

So, one of the ways we work our grocery budget is by buying proteins in bulk at Costco. Their Kirkland's Smoked Pulled Pork is a little strong in the smoke flavoring, but we've found several recipes that could not be easier and provide a variety of flavors and dishes to get us through a week or so. Without further ado, here they are. The first, and easiest, dish is to just heat up a helping of pork, roast some veggies, and serve the whole thing with BBQ sauce. The pork comes fully cooked, so all you have to do is heat it. The photo above is the pork simply heated. We actually do prefer to cook it further in the other dishes, but this is easy and good, too. I also love a good BBQ pork stuffed sweet potato, or baked potato. One of my favorites is this Slow Cooker Pork and Apples dish I discovered on Pinterest years ago. The original recipe from katheats.com calls for pork chops, which I don't particularly love, but I used this shredded pork as a...

Follow Up

So, my last post was about my thoughts on the upcoming new year, 2019. Actually, my last post contained several recipe ideas for pork. But seeing as we are now two months into that new year, I thought it appropriate to follow up on the effects of the word "sanctuary" as my focus for 2019. I always go through a slump after the holidays. I'll be honest, I hate and dread that time of the year. January seems so hard and daunting and I just want to shut my eyes and get it over with. While I entered this year more hopeful than last, January did not disappoint. And by that, I mean it was quite the same as in years past. I entered my routine funk and slowly crawled out of it as February approached and then something quite miraculous happened. Prayers were answered and the sunshine returned and I began to realize a sort of peace I haven't had in a long time. God often uses hardship, not just physical or emotional, but also mental hardship to strengthen our community wi...

2020 Focus

-

I shared in this post last year that my "resolution" for each new year looks more like just one word, sort of like picking an area of my life that could use improvement or identifying something I find lacking and attempting to better incorporate that in my daily life throughout the year. For 2020, I have landed on the word "focus." Ironically, it wasn't very clear to me this year what my word was supposed to be, so it's taken me a while to organize my thoughts and write this post. Since Maggie has entered our lives, I have felt more scattered than ever before. It's been wonderful and my artsy brain secretly loves the lack of structure, but I find myself constantly wasting precious time, overly relying on my phone, unable to tackle the seemingly endless to do list that exists solely in my head. I have found myself going through periods of pretty intense anxiety and wariness and then returning to a sort of calm, with no real idea of what caused or e...
