Each year, I am always anxious to see what color rises to Pantone’s Color of the Year. And this week’s Wednesday Wishes is all about 2019’s color: coral. I share these color inspiration post each year and in the past, it’s been tough to find clothing in that color. Ironic since this color should be everywhere. Well, that was not the case with coral this year! Coral is everywhere and I have to say, I’m pretty excited about it. Here is some coral outfit inspiration:

Hi friends! I had made this Valentine’s Day inspiration collage a few weeks ago and haven’t had the time to write the content! It’s been a rough few weeks in the McCarthy household. January and February are always a super busy time at work for me with state legislatures in session (you can read about my 9-5 job in this post) but this year has been busier than usual. Then last weekend, Richard wasn’t feeling well, so he spent the weekend in bed. Sunday evening I checked his temperature — it was at 103.5! We ran to urgent care and it was confirmed. He had the flu. For the past week, I’ve been trying to take care of him (while still keeping my distance!), crazy with work and disinfecting the house constantly. Thankfully, he is feeling better, but it was a rough week.
