You can never go wrong with a well-fitted white shirt stands as a timeless essential ready to adapt to any occasion, whether you choose to dress it up or down. It’s the cornerstone of your wardrobe, the versatile canvas upon which you paint your style.

Perfectly Tailored Jeans:

When you stumble upon that perfect pair of jeans, embracing your curves in all the right places, it’s an absolute game-changer for you. Jeans effortlessly serve as the foundation for countless casual and semi-casual outfits in your wardrobe.

Statement Accessories:

Elevate your outfits effortlessly with accessories like a stylish hat. They enable you to express your personal style, establish eye-catching focal points, and inject a dash of your unique personality into each ensemble, ensuring you exude confidence and flair, always standing out from the crowd.

Fashion Inspiration

Fashion wouldn’t be half as exciting without a healthy dose of inspiration. Let’s explore sources that can ignite ideas and keep your style fresh and vibrant.

Travel:

When you explore new cultures and destinations, it’s a treasure trove of fashion inspiration waiting for you. Embrace different styles and influences as you journey through these places, and don’t forget to bring back unique clothing and accessories to infuse into your wardrobe. Your travels are your greatest muse for fashion adventures!

Fashion Icons:

Embrace the fashion wisdom of style icons like Coco Chanel, Rihanna, Jackie O, Olivia Palermo, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Take style tips and draw inspiration from these iconic figures who have influenced the world of fashion with their unique flair and sophistication.

Nature and Art:

Let the colors and patterns found in nature and art be your guides for outfit choices. Whether it’s the vibrant hues of a breathtaking sunset or the intricate patterns in a captivating painting, draw inspiration from the world that surrounds you to elevate your fashion game.

But that’s the beauty of family life—it’s ever-evolving, just like our priorities. Another weekend, another show, but being together is always in style. ❤️ 

How does your family stay connected during busy seasons?

So much to unpack here, so let’s dive in: 1. N So much to unpack here, so let’s dive in:

	1.	Naiya had to have the viral @target fur coat. As soon as it arrived, she tore into the box like it was Christmas, threw it on, and immediately started strutting. 🧥 

	2.	My house? Let’s just say it’s not winning any awards for tidiness right now. Between horsehows every weekend, constant travel and all the daily chaos, tidying up has taken a back seat.  And the trash bag? Naiya tripped over it mid-strut, ending her runway dreams as fast as they started. And the coat still has the sensor on it. I can’t make this stuff up. 😂

Moral of the story: Life’s messy, houses get chaotic, and sometimes the trash bag wins. But moments like these? They’re what it’s all about. Embrace the chaos, laugh a little louder, and wear the fur coat—no one’s judging.

Life has been wild lately—horse shows, laundry, upcoming holidays, and everything in between—but even in the middle of it, I made sure to carve out a little time for myself. 

The chaos will always be there. Step away, breathe, and remind yourself you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving. Let’s stop glamorizing the grind and start glorifying the reset.

Weekends used to mean sleeping in, slow mornings, Weekends used to mean sleeping in, slow mornings, and maybe even a boozy brunch. Now? They mean hauling tack bags, packing endless snacks, and mentally prepping for another round of “Mom, did you wash my show jacket?!”
 
Life with teens is no joke. There’s this assumption that once your kids hit the teenage years, it’s all smooth sailing—like they suddenly transform into these self-sufficient mini-adults. Who told that damn lie!?!?!? If you’ve ever parented a teenager, you know that’s the biggest myth out there. Sure, they might not need me to tie their shoes, but I’m still the go-to for everything from emotional pep talks to making sure they actually eat something that isn’t a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos.
 
Honestly, older kids require even more of your time and energy. The stakes are higher, the emotions are bigger, and despite their (sometimes) too-cool-for-you attitude, they still look to you for reassurance and a little grounding when things get crazy. Between horse shows, navigating friendships, and figuring out who they want to be, it feels like parenting is more hands-on than ever.

So yeah, my weekends are a wild mix of barn runs, cheering from the sidelines, and sneaking in caffeine to keep up with it all. But as busy as it is, I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything. Because while they might not always say it, these teens still need us—maybe even more than they realize.

🌴 Every time we travel with the girls, we *alwa 🌴 Every time we travel with the girls, we *always* go for adjoining rooms—it’s seriously the best! 

If you’ve got older kids like we do, having that little extra space is a total game changer. The girls get their own room to chill, do their thing, and we get ours for a bit of peace and quiet. Perfect for those moments when you just need a break, but you’re still close enough to check in anytime.  If you know Eric, you know he’s got to have us all within his line of sight—like a dad-powered security camera!

It’s like having the best of both worlds—family time, plus a little privacy when you need it. 🙌 No hallway trips, no drama, just one door away! Highly recommend this setup if you’re planning a family vacay anytime soon.  Drop a comment if you have any travel tips to share.  I’d love to hear them.

Can’t wait to show y’all more of this resort and share our experience! 💕 Stay tuned! #FamilyVacation #GrandVelas #AdjoiningRooms #TravelWithKids #travelwithbigkids #mcknightsofmagnolia #blogger #vlogger #travelfamily #mexico #familyrelationships #rivieramaya
**Luxury Hotel or Budget Hotel: What’s Your Trav **Luxury Hotel or Budget Hotel: What’s Your Travel Style?**

On my trip to Charleston this weekend, I kept thinking about the different ways people approach travel, especially when it comes to accommodations. Some of us love the experience of staying in a luxury hotel—plush beds, room service, and on-site spas. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it’s part of the whole travel experience.

Then there are some of us who prefer budget-friendly options, choosing to save on accommodations to splurge on experiences—whether it’s local cuisine, sightseeing, or excursions. For them, a hotel is simply a place to recharge before diving into the next day’s excitement.

As we were checking out of the hotel, I overheard a gentleman proudly say that his family travels frequently and manages to fit everything they need into a single backpack. Immediately, no!! I had to laugh because, let’s be real—I’m definitely not a backpack kinda girl, lol. I need options, people! Like, WTF am I supposed to put my ballgown?  What if I get invited to a formal event.  And don’t even get me started with my power tower - where am I supposed to put it?🤔

So, what kind of traveler are you?

- **Luxury Hotel**: Do you enjoy the extra comfort and make your hotel stay part of the whole experience?
 
- **Budget Hotel**: Do you prefer practicality, keeping your travel budget focused on the adventure rather than the accommodations?

And could you ever pack your whole trip into just a backpack? Share your thoughts—I’d love to hear them! #mcknightsofmagnolia #travelblogger #greensboroblogger #blogger #charlestonsc #charlestonplacehotel #luxurytravel #budgetfriendly #backpacker #overpacker #minimalist
