OOTD: THE VARSITY JACKET YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE

Mar 14, 2023daily looks, style + outfits

Trust me, this is the varsity jacket you need in your life. I Love a good transitional jacket to wear on spring days and summer nights and all the cute varsity and bomber jacket styles currently out there are giving me heart eyes! So easy to throw on over a tee with jeans or leggings/bike shorts for an added layer… simple, sporty, and so cute and I don’t know about you, but I could use more of all of those things in my life! Scroll through some options, below!

Do you guys like seeing the price and/or brand before clicking?

A couple good questions to ask yourself before purchasing something:

  1. Where would I wear this (in my real life)!? (kid sports, the gym, errands, morning walks, family outings, coffee run, park/playground, etc.)
  2. Do I already have items in my closet that I can wear it with? Is there anything I can purchase that would help me get more wear out of it? (maybe a classic white tee or leggings you feel good in!?)

Xx, Rae

Just a reminder to play the long game ๐Ÿ–ค parent Just a reminder to play the long game ๐Ÿ–ค parent their hearts, enjoy their company, encourage their dreams, be a soft place to fail, and grow along side them. Parenthood is messy and incredibly challenging, but easily the most important and deeply rewarding thing I will ever do ๐Ÿ–ค Feeling thankful (for it alllll) and a little sentimental after a weekend with Ozzie (and a couple friends) home. Nothing better.
BETTER THAN TAKEOUT CHICKEN PAD THAI ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿค made BETTER THAN TAKEOUT CHICKEN PAD THAI ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿค made with healthy ingredients, lots of love, and good mems in the kitchen. (RECIPE BELOW OR USE LINK IN BIO)

YOUโ€™LL NEED:
avocado oil, as needed for cooking
1-1/2 pounds chicken breast or tenders, thinly sliced (like you would for stir fry or fajitas)
1 package dried pad thai rice noodles, cooked to package directions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, sliced
2 eggs, gently whisked
1 cup bean sprouts (plus more for topping)
1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into bite sized pieces (optional IMO)
1/4 cup garlic chives, cut to inch size pieces
1/4 cup peanuts, roughly chopped (plus more for topping)
2 limes, cut into wedges for serving
ground chilli or cayenne pepper, to taste (for those that want extra stars โ€“ optional)
1/2 cup pad thai sauce* (see note)
HEREโ€™S HOW:
Prep toppings, as desired, setting aside bean sprouts, peanuts, and lime wedges.
Heat avocado oil over medium-high heat and sautรฉ onions and garlic for a few minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken. Cook most of the way through. Move chicken mixture to one side of pan and pour egg into the other. Scramble before mixing everything together (like you would for fried rice). Cover and let sit while you prepare noodles.
Prepare noodles according to package directions. In a large pot, add noodles and avocado oil (to taste) and stir fry for a few minutes. Add bean sprouts, chicken mixture, tofu (if using), and sauce. Toss together until sauce is distributed evenly. Add chives and peanuts and toss gently.
Serve immediately with toppings of choice!
How do we feel about midi denim skirts as a winter How do we feel about midi denim skirts as a winter to spring (and pretty much year round) staple?! ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿค itโ€™s a yes for me!

Mondays are for stocking the pantry! And since our Mondays are for stocking the pantry! And since our bins and labels needed a refresh, I thought Iโ€™d share the process ๐Ÿ˜‹ We organized our pantry about a year and a half ago (with the help of @finding.order ) and have never looked back! I was nervous about my ability to stay on top of things but have found that it makes grocery shopping and cooking so much easier because you can actually see what you have and what needs to be restocked. Anywho, Iโ€™ll link to sources in my bio and stories for anyone interested in details ๐Ÿ–ค let me know if you have any questions!
