Our Xtreme Experience

One less item on the old bucket list…

Not really for me, per se, but for Rob and Knox? This past Saturday was a dream come true. As a boy momma of two, it can be rather challenging at times to come up with cool new things to do on the weekends…. especially when my job revolves around fashion. Although I am a boy mom, I’m not the mom who sits and plays on the floor with cars. I’ll admit it! I always say that’s what Rob is for, and to be honest he’s way better at it anyway so why rock the boat? But when I found out that we had the opportunity to drive super cars with Xtreme Xperience (think Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, etc.), I knew this would instantly score me major mom (and brownie) points.

Rob and Knox couldn’t wait to get there, but I was a little (okay, extremely) nervous to say the least! I will go ahead and admit that I’ve never really been a dare devil and the thought of wrecking a quarter of a million dollar car wasn’t exactly easing my anxiety.

Everyone at Xtreme Xperience was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and most importantly — informative. After turning in our drivers licences and checking in, we did a brief drivers class where they walk you through the course, go over all of the safety rules, and give you a better idea of what to expect from your in car instructor.

If there’s one thing that stuck out to me (other than driving super awesome cars), it’s when my instructor said, “trust me and I’ll trust you.” It was no secret that I was literally shaking when it was finally go time.

Talk about an adrenaline rush…

Momma got to drive the Ferrari 488 in yellow…it honestly didn’t even feel real at first. Sitting in it was one thing, but I couldn’t believe I was about to floor it in a car that costs more than my house. What if I hit a cone and get fined? What if I get a little too confident and lose control? Just a few of the many questions racing (pun intended) through my brain as my Xtreme instructor gave me the green light. Not to worry…I made it out alive and it was even more fun than I could have imagined!

Rob drove the Lamborghini Huracan in matte blue and you can just tell by the look on his face that he was in his glory. Meanwhile, all the employees at Xtreme Xperience let Knox sit in every single car they had! They gave that kid the royal treatment and it truly made us so happy. Even if I hadn’t driven one of the cars, just seeing that boy’s big blue eyes light up as he sat in the drivers seat(s)….let’s just say it was something that I will never forget.

I HIGHLY recommend Xtreme Xperience whether you’re looking for a fun new date night idea, want to make your kids happy or you just have an itch to drive a badass car that you can’t ever actually buy. It was a first class experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend a Saturday.

How I found the prettiest spring outfit for under $30

What would you say this outfit costs?

Go ahead, take a wild guess. If I saw this off the shoulder dress and these cute little block heeled sandals on a stranger at the store, I would easily say the outfit was around $100 total — if not more. But this momma is looking for cute AND affordable, amirite?!

This ruffle off the shoulder dress was under $13, you guys. My black block heeled sandals were under $17! Insane. You’re probably thinking, “what’s that catch?” There’s no catch. Each piece from Burkes Outlet is brand new and the quality is amazing. I’ve ordered several outfits from Burkes now and haven’t been disappointed once! Everything seems to be very true to size and you just can’t beat their prices. Most of the tops I looked at were under $10 and you will find that most clothing items are under $20!

Burkes offers more than just cute, affordable threads.

Yeah, you’ll find some KILLER deals on clothes (for all ages) at Burkes Outlet, but they offer much more than that. You will find amazing deals on all the hottest toys, kitchen appliances, home decor, accessories…I could go on.

I also found these tan, perforated heels for under $18 which is amazing because they will go with everything this spring and summer! Keep in mind that because Burkes prices are so competitive, styles do tend to sell out pretty quickly. The good news? They add trendy new styles to their website on the reg, so you’re always bound to find something you’ll love at Burkes for a fraction of the price.

Happy Shopping!

    Loving you for you

    What do you see when you look in the mirror?

    I don’t care what anyone says, there’s not one person in this world who hasn’t been insecure about something at one point in their lives. Growing up, I was often teased for being “too thin” and kids would even ask me if I had an eating disorder. Ahh, middle school — ya gotta love it! Meanwhile, I ate like a full grown man (some things never change) and at times people’s comments made me feel like I needed to be curvier.

    Did I eventually get over that whole “skinny girl” complex? Yes. I started to appreciate my fast metabolism and focus on what I did love about my body. Does that mean I never feel insecure about anything anymore? Nah. I’m far from perfect and just like most women — I will let the occasional self deprecating thought run a muck in my mind. Let’s just put it this way — we are all a work in progress and the grass will always look greener if you let it.

    CHOOSE to love the skin you’re in.

    Now that I’m in my thirties and a mother of two, I want to feel sexy, confident, all while feeling comfortable. I love this seamless bralette — it provides the support I’m looking for and is seriously the most comfortable bra I own now. It comes in five different color options and is under $50. It’s the perfect bra whether you’re layering, lounging, or working out. I linked all of my favorite new arrivals from Soma, a company who takes pride in empowering women regardless of their shape or size.
