Kid's Fall Craft - Gratitude Tree


We made this quick and easy Fall Kid's Craft as a part of a Kid's Craft Collaboration hosted by BarefootIzzy on YouTube!

We made a Gratitude Tree centerpiece for our dining room table and the girls loved putting it together! On each leaf, we wrote (or drew a picture of) something we were thankful for - and filled the tree with leaves! Watch how it came together in our video!




Check out the playlist HERE for more great crafts from the collab!

More Fall Fun headed your way SOON!! I'm so excited to be getting our decorations back - finally!! - at the end of the week!!

Fall Fashion for Moms!



Last week, I shared some of my Fall Fashion Favorites for Moms on my YouTube channel and also what is on my wishlist for Fall! I love shopping for new clothing at this time of year, and remember it being a favorite time of year to go shopping for back to school and look for pieces that would last throughout the colder months. Scarves, boots, and sweaters have always been staples for this time of year!


I picked up a few things at Kohl's also that I share in the video and I'm especially glad that I found the great Apt 9 capri pants that double as jeans to go with boots!

The past few years I've started gravitating towards wearing a lot of neutrals in my wardrobe that can be mixed and matched for a variety of events, yet every day appropriate for those mom tasks like school pickup time. Black and gray have been my "go to" base colors that I wear a lot of in the Fall and Winter, then add in pops of color with scarves, cardigans, and other accessories!

Booties are high on my list of things to add to my wardrobe this year. I feel like I have comfort and functional boots covered this year... and want to turn to adding some more variety in my "fashionable when it ISN'T snowing" part of my show wardrobe. I've looked a variety brands and actually found a number of boots within a wide price range that look promising!

These boots from Sonoma brand at Kohl's don't break the bank at a sale price of $34.99 (!!!), come in a variety of great colors, and also got great reviews saying they were super comfy! I think these are going to go on my "must buy" list for sure!!

On the opposite side of the spectrum, these Vionic boots I spied at Zappos.com are super cute, I'm loving the zipper detail - and they are also supposed to have a special orthopedic design that allows your foot to be supported comfortably... However the price is a bit more expensive at $159.95.

As always for me, cardigans and flyaway cardigans are a great grab and go option that I feel can add a pop of color or pull together an outfit easily for a "mom on the go". These long cardigans from Bobeau at Nordstrom are my absolute favorite that I've talked about in a number of videos. I have these in a range of colors and they've held up for multiple seasons! This season, I'm planning on adding in a few more basic neutral colors to use over printed blouses!

I will be sure to share a haul of the items that I pick up for my wardrobe! Also, be sure to follow me on Instagram @beingmommywithstyle - as I will be sharing my outfits there from time to time as well!

Fabulous Fall Fun!!

I did a round up of all of my favorite FALL inspired videos that I've done in my 4 years on YouTube and compiled them into one handy Playlist! Mommy style, home style, decorating days, and more! I've even included a few videos from my "Organize Mommy with Style" channel, where I shared wreath tutorials over the holidays last year.

Find all of the holiday fun HERE:


I'm very much looking forward to getting to decorate at our house this year, as soon as our items are delivered out of storage NEXT WEEK! (Finally!) It's been a long road, but it finally feels like we are getting our house back! I will be share what decor I decide to place out for the month of October!

The girls always enjoy when the extra holiday decorations go out around our house and I think this year they will especially enjoy it after the long year we've had!

First day wearing coats this year! Fall is here!

Here is our Fall Home Decor Tour from last year!!


And at our old house in Illinois from the year previous!




And tomorrow on Being Mommy with Style I'm sharing some of my favorite Fall fashion picks for moms from the current year! Plus, what I will be shopping for this year!
