There's a certain simplicity when it comes to wearing a monochromatic palette and I find I tend towards simple pairings when my schedule becomes busy.  Black and white is about as classic as can be and has a way of looking professional and put together without a lot of effort.  On the other hand, monochromatic colors can also have a tendency to look a little too controlled or even boring, so I wanted to share a few easy ways to mix up your black and white this season to create outfits that are chic, polished, and on trend!

First off, let's just say that it took a bit of courage for me to post these bikini pictures.  I haven't rocked a bikini in over 6 years and my body has gone through quite a few changes that I'm still adjusting to since then.  But, this year I shifted to focus more on taking care of myself now that we were past the baby stages of parenting and had the goal of rocking a bikini come summertime!  While I definitely still have some work to do and am not quite as lean as I would like, I'm still proud of the progress I've made and am working up the nerve to share these pictures with you all.  Read on for a few of my tips on how I've been slimming down and getting myself ready for swimsuit season (mentally and physically!).

There's a certain satisfaction when I get to check tasks off my todo list.  Lately as my responsibilities at work have increased, I've had to learn ways to be more productive.  I'm a big proponent for having work / life balance so my goal everyday is to make sure that I can maximize the time I spend working so that I can have the most time left afterwards to spend with my family.  I've adopted a few new techniques in the past few weeks that have really been helping me get more out of my time so I knew I had to share them here with you all!
