OOTD: mixing patterns

Hey friends!

Welcome (back to some of you) to my little piece of the blogosphere. It has been raining in my neck of the woods for a few days now so I thought I would give you a little weekend wear post today. I wore this outfit out on a hot date with my two fellas (don't worry one's my 3 month old son!). It was great and little man did so well at the resturant he was either sleeping or super happy and smily stealing the show. He gets the biggest grin on his face when people talk to him its just the best sight in the world I'll post some pics of it tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll let you get to the outfit pictures, thanks for stopping by and come back soon!

OOTD: Stripes on Stripes on Stripes!

Hey Guys! I found this skirt a couple of years ago in target and I loved it then and wore the b-jeezes out of it with a couple of outfit ideas, but I now think of it as a neutral because I mean really what doesn't go with stripes. Solids? yes. Patterns? yes. Other Stripes? yes. Florals? yes. Sweaters? yes!

Newborn Pictures

Hey Guys! Today I thought I would share some of Parker's newborn photos that we had done at our home. I can't believe its been 3+ months since these were taken. We had photographer Jill Vanderveen come and take these and she was so sweet and did such great work it was an amazing experience. It really made the experience very special to do these at our home, and since Parker was only a few days old it was nice to not have to pack up and take him somewhere especially for us new parents who were terrified at the time of having to leave our house with him :).

 

we got some cute candids as well, like this one when little man needed a snack break and dad could give him a bottle real quick. 

 

This one is one of my favorites as it is taken infront of where I have my wedding dress displayed. I decided to use it as decoration in our room, instead of boxing it up for years and not being able to enjoy it. Sure it might not preserve as well but really what am I going to do with it, wear it again, well yes and it will be a whole lot easier to do if its not in a box somewhere :). But you do you boo if you want to save yours and keep yours nice I totally support that I just enjoy seeing mine everyday.

It's crazy how fast they become your whole world. 

 

 

I thank God everyday that he chose me to be Parker's mama. I am sure I did nothing to recieve such an incredible blessing and I feel so fortunate for every day, hour, minute and second that I get to spend with him. 

A case of the Mondays

Hey Guys!

Hope you had all had a great weekend! I wanted to do a quick weekend recap for you all. It was my husband’s 10 year class reunion at our home town, and oh my did we have a good time. It was so great to see old friends. Some whom we have not seen in years, and spend a night out on the town (thanks to nana daycare!). One of the best parts of the evening was flipping through old yearbooks and laughing about how much we had all changed (thankfully!), how is it possible that 10 years has already gone by!?

A quick family photo before mommy and daddy went out for the night (outfit post to come). This little boy is the happiest and the smiliest little boy until you put a camera infront of him and then he immediately stops! Oh well someday will get a good one for now you can still appreciate his cuteness with the look on his face!

Enjoying the front porch heat with a little diaper nap on nana's lap. Everytime he is in his diaper I am reminded how much he has grown, its crazy now to think back to him as a 7 pounder!

After spending the night away from him (only a couple hours actually, lets not be that dramatic) I was so excited to have him back in my arms!

 We ended the weekend by having a nice quiet sunday night at home with our little family. I may or may not have watched bachelor in paradise, I'll never tell. Until I post about it next week.

Lastly we got ready for bed and assumed our favorite sleeping postion of sleeping on daddy until it is actual bed time! That little face though! I can't help but thank God for picking me to be his mommy and I am reminded of what a beautiful life this life is! Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon!

What I wore Wednesday

Hello,

 So we meet again, it was nice of you to stop by! Can you believe I have posted three days in a row this is a record not to toot my own horn but ya know toot toot.  I am a big fan of Wednesdays you see they are my 5^th favorite day of the week. I’ll revel my other favorites to you later (nothing like a little suspense to keep you coming back for more) ;). So today I was feeling the mostly all white vibe with blush tones I just love this color scheme it makes me feel oh so summery and the rule of thumb in this part of the country is embrace the summeryness (that’s a word ok!?) while you can because it is fast and fleeting and I follow all the rules, whether I make them up or not. Anywho thanks for stopping by and come back again as I promise I am here to say this time and you’ll just have to keep coming back to keep me accountable!

The Bachelorette Finale Recap and OOTD

Hey guys!

Happy Tuesday! Did anyone catch the bachelorette last night!? I know, I know it’s so staged, and none of the relationships ever work out (except in 2 ½ of the couples; Jason and molly only get a half because he technically didn’t pick her) but I just enjoy watching it! I don’t know it’s just funny and entertaining and I am not required to think for those two hours which let’s be honest can sometimes be welcome after a Monday back at the office. Anywho, the Shawn thing was a giveaway from the begining, bets on how long they'll last? I give them at least until the next bachelor errs. And as for Nick well he is a pro at this getting dumped on the last day so maybe he should think about writing a book and titling it “I made it to the end twice and no one still wants me, but I’ll probably be back next season”. Ah I kid I’m sure he’s a nice guy if you just forget the whole kissing and telling that he did on Andi. I leave this subject with one final question for you who will be bachelor next do you think? I am really pulling for Nick maybe then they’ll get him to stop joining the bachelorette not to mention can you imagine the type of people they would get to try to date him now that would make some ENTERTAINMENT!... On to the real reason you’re here the clothes! Alright here is what I wore yesterday I decided to try some mirror shots instead of the selfie stick so let me know which you guys like better. Thanks for stopping and come back and see me real, real soon ya hear!
