We went on another adventure this weekend to a really lovely place in Utah! These lavender fields are located in Mona, UT. It’s real name is the Young Living Lavender Farm and it is really quite gorgeous!
Colin and I pass this every time we drive down to visit his parents, and every single time we have passed it I tell him, “one day I want to stop and take pictures there.” So this past weekend we made that dream come true! Our good friends Kayla and Taz are moving back to their home in Florida at the end of the summer. So we have made it a point to do something fun every weekend with them! We decided to all load up and drive down to see the lavender fields during sunset. It was beautiful to see the sun sinking behind the mountains. Maybe one day we will even make it to the lavender farms in France for a sunset! A girl can dream!
I really wish all of these pictures from the lavender fields were scratch and sniff, but it honestly smelt divine! I wanted to bottle that smell up and take it home with us! Colin kept joking that being there we were all just going to end up falling asleep because the smell of lavender is so relaxing. He wasn’t wrong! 
While planning to go to see the fields, I wanted to wear something light and something that would compliment the lavender fields, but not take away from the scenery. I settled on this “cotton candy” dress from the Rachel Parcell Everyday Collection. It is such a light summer dress that isn’t too busy, and of course I had to throw on my all-time favorite straw Brixton hat! Because is a trip to the lavender fields complete without a straw hat? I bought this Brixton hat at Nordstrom this past spring and it has become a staple in my closet! (I am wearing a xs for reference.)
When I am picking an outfit to wear for pictures like this, I like to pick a more neutral color palette. Especially if I want the focus to be on the background. One of my really good photographer friends told me that when you are choosing outfits for pictures with a spouse, or for something with a busy background, neutrals are the way to go! So I have always stuck with that. (unless I am wanting to match what I am wearing to the background.) So there is just a small tip if you are planning pictures sometime in the near future!
I don’t think these photos do justice to how pretty these lavender fields really were, but I hope you enjoy them none-the-less! *closes eyes and tries to pretend to smell the lavender*

Ew, David. A big red rock. We were trying very h Ew, David. A big red rock. 

We were trying very hard not to connect with people 😉 so we played a few games of pickle ball, climbed up Dixie rock, and spent time in some slightly-warmer-than-salt-lake-city-weather. We’ve had a great start to 2021 & I love that journey for us.
My top 9 of #2020! What👏🏻a👏🏻year👏🏻 Even through the unexpected quarantine, COVID, & working from home, I am so so grateful for this past year. While the world has been going through such uncertain times, I’m so grateful I’ve been able to focus on my whole world at home. Colin & I have both been able to work from home since March. We have got to spend everyday together & I’ve got to spend everyday at home with Rowan. It has been an absolute dream watching her grow up 🙌🏻 all year I have been wishing this year would be over. Now I can’t believe today is the last day of 2020. This year has been the absolute fastest and slowest year of my life. I am excited to see what 2021 holds & all the adventures it’ll bring to our little family. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year 🎉 #happynewyear #littlemissrowanand
Christmas Eve is HERE🙌🏻 and jammies are a my Christmas Eve is HERE🙌🏻 and jammies are a my favorite tradition! These two have made the Christmas season so fun & special this year.

✈️SAVE MONEY TRAVELING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON✈️

Need a weekend adventure or staycation? We sure did! This past weekend we were in need of some serious time out and about! We used @shareavail to book an SUV to take us to some of our favorite places around Salt Lake City and it ended up being the perfect local “getaway”.

Avail is a car sharing service (like Airbnb for cars). You can book through their app (available on iOS) or online. We booked through the app, got a suburban (say hello to the newest soccer mom😉), and saved so much money compared to a traditional rental! It also saves you so much time! Instead of waiting in line to rent a car, you reserve one through the app, shuttle/drive to the Avail parking lot, and they hand you your keys! NO LINES & no upsells! They also use a 12-step cleaning process to clean each vehicle before & after each use, so you can feel safe to borrow any vehicle from Avail! 

Avail is not only a great way to save money while traveling, but did you know you can also 💚MAKE MONEY💚 through Avail while you travel to visit your loved ones during the holidays or if your car is just sitting at home?? 

All you have to do is sign up through Avail to have your car borrowed while you are gone (or if it's just collecting dust outside your home)! 
🔹Check the Avail website to see if your car qualifies to be borrowed
🔹Park your car at the Avail airport lot
🔹Get free airport parking while you are gone
🔹Free car cleaning
🔹If your car is borrowed, you can make up to $25 a day!

Crazy right?! So whether your car is sitting idle, you are visiting from out of town, spending the day exploring your city, or taking a staycation, @shareavail is the perfect way to experiencing all your adventures this year! Use the code "APRETTYPENNYGIRL" to get $50 off your first booking, now until Dec. 31st. Now tell me, are you going anywhere fun this holiday season?⬇️⬇️

Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! I usually end up buying a bunch of Christmas gifts & end up spending wayyyy more than I plan to 🙈 but, I have been using @afterpayusa to buy now & pay later to make my holiday shopping stress-free. So many of my favorite retailers use @afterpayusa, like @oldnavy! (Everything is 50% off right now! RUN🏃🏼‍♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@afterpayusa is the perfect way to shop now & pay later. It splits your total into 4 payments. Your first payment is due at checkout, & every payment after that is due every 2 weeks. See my stories to see what retailers are using AfterPay so you can have stress-free holiday shopping too! #sponsored #AfterpaytheHolidays #afterpayambassador
