So I love fashion. True statement. I love being trendy and I
love shopping. I was always afraid that I’d get in a ‘mom’ rut once I became a
mom. Let’s just be honest here. I stay at home with Tanner the majority of the week;
therefore I don’t look so hot. I’ll be glad to admit that. But when I do go out
of the house, I feel that I put more effort into my outfits now that I am a
mom. Crazy weird, I know. I’m assuming it’s because I don’t have to dress up
for work everyday like I used to and when I actually go somewhere it gives me
an excuse to dress cute.
 |
| I wasn't lying about being a hot mess. Here's my mom outfit. Workout type pants (I need to put these to good use and actually workout), a long sleeve tee and rainbow flops on this particular day bc I was cleaning the house. Beautiful, huh?! |
I’m not saying I want to wear heels and dressy clothes. I’m talking
casual here. As you can see below, I mean casual for real. {Please excuse the quality of photos. I don't have a professional photographer at my house, besides an almost 2 year old. But hopefully you'll get the drift}
 |
| I wore this out for errands the other Saturday. Easy peasy. Blurry quick photo...my child was demanding I go dance with him. |
 |
| The whole shabang...skinnes from New York & Co. (their jeans fit me so well), boots -Target, plaid shirt - Old Navy, pull over - Old Navy and monogrammed by myself. Throw on a cute simple necklace (I paired it with my new Tanner necklace I got for Christmas), I added pearls and a cute ring. And there ya go. |
 |
| The best part about this outfit is that it was not expensive! I'm on a mom budget...enough said. I scored with this pull over the day after Thanksgiving at Old Navy. It's so easy to add a touch of cuteness to clothing with just a simple monogram. |
In other news, today marks the day that two more very special
people in my life were born. {I told ya’ll there were a lot of January
birthdays of those that I love the most}. My step-dad, Mike, is one of those people.
He is a God send to our family. He has so many amazing qualities:
crafty/painter/builder man that helps me with a ton of my many projects {you’ll
here more about him once we finish a few of those projects}, he gives
great advice and is one special Poppi to Tanner {who spoils him way too much}. We love him and I’m so glad he’s
my second dad. I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

| Christmas time :) |
 |
| Ice cream with Poppi =) |
 |
| My favorite. He loves his Poppi! |
The girl that I reference as my bffeih {best friends forever
even in Heaven}, yea we made that up when we were like 8, her name is Elizabeth and she is
simply wonderful. She is one of those friends who have been by my side since I
pulled her hair and stole her toy when we were two years old in the church
nursery. She’s never left my side since. All friends have issues and arguments,
but no matter what she’s still by my side through it all. I love her dearly and
am truly blessed to call her my very best friend. Happy 29th to YOU
my amazing friend Lizerbeth!
 |
| Yep, that's us in the back whispering about someone. I'm on the right in the strawberry dress and she's in the pink number on the left. Wayyy back in 4k =) |
 |
| Glorious high school days...9th grade with my bffeih. |
 |
| Maid of honor at my wedding |
 |
| Just a few weeks ago celebrating my mom's birthday. We sure have come a long way lol! |
Happy birthday to both of ya'll! I hope your day is amazing and wonderful...you both deserve it!
Totally switching gears...I found out last night that a precious soul passed
away yesterday. She was very dear friends with my bff Casey’s family. I had
only met her a few times and the times I did, she was a sweetheart. She was so
young, only 24, but God called her home after a car accident yesterday
afternoon. It got me thinking. A lot. Since I’ve had Tanner those thoughts
about me passing have crossed my mind quite a bit. Casey says it’s because we’re
moms and that’s what we do, we ponder, we worry and we want the best for our
children. But the thing about it is, is that we shouldn’t be so concerned as to
when our last breath on this earth will be but we should be concerned about where
we'll spend eternity. I’m thankful, as I’ve said before, I’m a sinner saved
by grace. I will spend eternity with my Heavenly Father. I want this blog to be
about many things, especially expressing my feelings. I can’t get that sweet
girl that I didn’t even really know out of my head today. But I pray that her
family and friends can find peace and comfort in the Lord. I hope that all of
you my dear readers and friends will enjoy every second you have here with your
loved ones. Soak up every second you have on this earth. Love on those that
mean the most to you. Work hard and accomplish all that you've ever dreamed of. And be prepared, as you never know when your last breath
will be.
Sorry for the sad part at the end, but that’s what blogs are
all about right?! Expressing yourself. I hope ya’ll didn’t cringe at my hot
mess of an outfit that I call my daily attire =) Moms rock by the way {lol}. I
made another delicious pinterest recipe last night. Can’t wait to share it
soon! Enjoy the rest of your day…it’s almost the weekend. Woop, woop! Until next time...
