Meet the Shaneyfelts

Every Day

Coffee Talk

Hi friends!  Let’s pretend we’re getting coffee at a coffee shop and chatting over a skinny vanilla latte!
Trying the new blonde espresso!  And please ignore my bedroom.  I wash our sheets every Sunday, and Dustin leaves his clothes everywhere every day.

-I’ve heard that using purple shampoo for blonde hair makes your hair blonder.  Is that true, and if so, where can I buy it?!

-I’ve been watching Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian since the very first episode.  Watching it always motivates me to eat better and work out harder (or work out at all ha).  Anyone else feel the same way?

-Speaking of Khloe and her awesome show, I have been feeling horrible about my own body  since last month.  IVF has really affected my hormones and my weight.  I’m really trying to give myself some grace during this time, but I’ll be honest, it’s hard.  I’ve thought about writing a post about this but I’m not sure.

-I’m embarrassed to say this, but I just got my flu shot Sunday.  So if you’re like me, it’s not too late!!  The flu epidemic in Alabama is pretty scary, and I’m trying to protect myself and those around me.

-I watched a Hallmark movie from the fall that I recorded but hadn’t seen yet.  It was called Harvest Wedding (it was new this past fall), and it was so good!  Y’all know I love Hallmark movies, but yes, some are boring and so predictable (even for me).  But Harvest Wedding was so, so good!!

-I’ve been getting lots of compliments about my hair ever since I’ve started using my new wand to curl it.  This is the exact wand I have!  It’s wonderful!

A Reintroduction

Hi friends!!  I’ve seen several new faces around here and IG in the past six months or so, and since my friend Emily is hosting a fun link up today, I thought I’d reintroduce myself to those of you who are new!

If you’ve read my blog before or are new, please leave me a comment below!  I love talking with my readers!!  (If you are a no-reply blogger, I will have to reply back to you on this post instead of in email.)


My name is Sarah and I am from (and still live in) a small town in Alabama.  I teach seventh grade English in the same junior high where I went and with some of the same teachers that I had–which is always so fun!

I married the perfect person for me on July 26, 2014.  You can see all of my wedding posts here.


Other than molding young minds (😂) and blogging, I have many hobbies!  I enjoy reading, cooking, looking at clothes and buying (some of) them, reality tv, sending/receiving snail mail, exercising, drinking expensive coffee, vacationing, watching IG stories, and sitting in book stores or libraries for hours.

 I’m not sure if having a birthday can be considered a hobby, but I love my birthdays because that’s the one day that’s all about me 🙌🙌 #notconceitedatall  #imreallynot

 And I love any excuse to dress up!


Recently, I just did a post on 10 Facts About Me, so you should definitely check that out to learn more.


Last August, Dustin and I decided to share publicly our struggle with infertility.  We’ve gone through multiple rounds of Femara and Clomid, 3 IUIs (or 4?), 1 surgery for endometriosis, 3 rounds of IVF meds, 2 egg retrievals, 1 fresh embryo transfer, and most recently, 1 frozen embryo transfer.  Nothing has worked, but our hope and trust is still, and has always been, in God.  If you’d like to read about our struggle with infertility, click here.

The most important thing you need to know about me–and the most important part of my life–is that I am a follower of Christ.  I strive every day to live my life in a way that brings glory to God.  If you have any questions about my faith, please email me at saraheshaneyfelt@gmail.com because I would LOVE to talk to you!
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31

Athleisure FOREVER

 Sweatshirt (on sale) and similar | leggings (and less expensive option) | shoes (mine are sold out but these are similar) | sunglasses | water bottle

This outfit has been on repeat lately for me.  It’s literally the most comfortable clothing to put on to lounge around the house or to run errands in.  I only wish that this were school appropriate because I would wear something like this every single day haha!  I know I would be so much more productive if I could teach in leggings and tennies 😜

On another note, I’m still recovering from staying up WAY past my bedtime to watch the National Championship.  It was a stressful game for me to watch and I even had to take a Tums before I went to bed haha!!  I went to Alabama, so I was a sophomore during Saban’s first year as a coach for us.  It was my senior year when we made it to the National Championship game against Texas, and it was played in the Rose Bowl.  I went to that game and have THE BEST memories from that trip with three of my other friends!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
