The Gustafson Family Photos

It's the weekend and today is a huge party day! My sister Daena and her fam are throwing a massive end of summer celebration to thank everyone who played any part in praying, supporting, and caring for her and her family during her fight with cancer. There were hundreds of people near and far who were so amazing and who fed the Gustafsons and cleaned their home, sent notes and gifts to Daena, and most importantly, prayed for her daily. She had her last chemo treatment near the beginning of our summer and has spent these summer months getting back into the swing of a normal life and everyday, gaining strength and enjoying the little, cherished moments. 

So I thought I would share a photo shoot that I recently did with the Gustafson family in honor of their big party today! 

Love you guys so much!

Good Day Wisconsin - Back to School Style for Moms

Happy Friday friends! I had a blast putting together a fashion segment for our local Fox 11 news morning show, Good Day Wisconsin. I styled 4 fabulous mamas keeping 4 different women and styles in mind. We did a mini fashion show and everything! One friend pointed out that I can talk circles around fashion and she is right. I barely stopped to breath. ;)

Here are the looks one at a time with all the info you'll need to purchase them. These looks were styled with a mix of what each mom had in her closet combined with a few of my own pieces. So they are not all currently in stores but I have searched for similar items that you can shop. The T J Maxx items are current (purchased 2 weeks ago) but they do not have them on their website to shop, so again, I've linked to similar pieces. Enjoy!
