If you recall from last year, Amazon sold out of spring/summer pieces quickly, so this is a great time to shop for spring and summer. This way you know you can get what you want before it’s sold out.

Everything I am sharing are winners, of course! I never share pieces that are fails, which there a lot of, trust me on this!

This coverup and these pool shoes are a must! The coverup comes in a ton colors & pattern. The bottom portion is sheer and beautiful! These shoes are perfect for the pool or beach and come in a ton of colors. Both run tts

These jeans are crazy good! These are high-rise and the hem on these is too die for! They run small, so size up 2 sizes for a better fit. They come in petite, reg and long.

I love buffalo plaid and this top is a winner! I wore it with my velour Spanx and booties to a holiday party and it was so cute! It runs over-sized, so you don’t need to size up. I am wearing a small. It comes in several color option and patterns.

I am obsessed with cozy styles and these two are extremely comfy and soft. These are definitely Amazon fashion favorites! I am wearing a small in both. They both have pockets which is always a win.

Love this super cute and cozy sweatshirt! Perfect for around the house or running errands. The inside is super soft! Wearing a small. This sweatshirt runs a little on the large side, so go with your normal size for an oversized fit.

This top is soooo cute! I love all the details! It have raw edges on the arms at the shoulders and the cuffs. I love the split front on this one and it’s fully lined. The neckline is so cute and I haven’t seen anything like it before! It has a hood too! It’s not too thick and it’s long enough for leggings. This is definitely one of my favorite Amazon fashion finds!

This cardi is one of my favorites and this one sold out in a hot second from American Eagle a couple seasons ago, but I found the dupe that is spot on from Amazon! Everyone that has bough the Amazon version, loves it!

I love everything about this top! From the white cuffs to the white neckline. How cute are the sleeves? The length of this top is long enough to wear with leggings!

Baked French Toast with Berries

December 4, 2019 Food & Drink 4 Comments

I have been making this delicious and easy make-ahead baked French toast with berries for years! My kids love it! We all do! Everyone who eats it loves it and wants the recipe, so I just had share to share it with all of you!

This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning when you want to hang out and play with your kids, because most of the prep takes place the night before! Easy peasy! I always serve this with my quiche (recipe coming soon!) ~ they compliment each other so well!

This is also a great dish to take for a pot luck breakfast or brunch. It’s always a hit when I take this French Toast Bake to my women’s Bible study group.

Suggested ingredients & tools:

I always use this vanilla – no exceptions! It makes the biggest difference in the taste of your baked goods. It’s simply the best, worth every penny!

I also use this baking spray. It has zero trans-fat and does not leave residue on your pans. Clean up is a breeze!

A pastry cutter will make your life so much easier and save a ton of time! This one on Amazon has amazing reviews has free shipping and returns.

I always use a non-stick baking pan with a lid, so I can transport my dish easily if needed. This one is under $9 Amazon Prime with amazing reviews.

I hope you love it as much as we do!
