Off-Shoulder Top and Cut-Out Booties

A Casual Day Look

I do sometimes wish I lived a life that required me to dress up more on a daily basis (and I don't mean "nice" office attire, I mean fashionable dresses and ensembles.) I mean, for example, I have to remind myself that there's things about Princess Kate's life that I probably would not enjoy compared to my existence (there are things, aren't there? I hear the constant media attention and scrutiny gets old...but they seem to have a pretty good privacy balance lately....I dunno, with all the perks, um, I think I could deal, right? LOL)

Friday Favorites: Spring Bags Under $100

Friday Favorites: Spring Bags Under $100

Despite the fact that some April showers have descended upon us this week, I'm still in the process of transitioning my closet from winter to spring.  Although I did see an image on Facebook the other day that made me laugh, with the caption: "We're experiencing a new season: 'Sprinter.'  Winter weather in spring."  Though I won't wear a tank top if it's only 50 degrees outside, I will still go by the calendar and lighten my wardrobe and accessories.  Here I've rounded up some of my favorite bags for spring, all under $100.

The Perfect Weekend Combo

This is a sponsored post - all opinions are my own.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.  My husband worked both days, so it was mostly me and my little guy for the bulk of it, which is great, because he's one of my favorite people to spend time with. :)  It's not news to any other mother when I say that becoming a mom has been the most amazing yet hardest thing I have ever done.   My little guy is now 2 and some months, and every day there is a new wonder and accomplishment.  His sentences are getting longer, his comprehension more elaborate, his emotions and thoughts more complex.  He challenges me to be a better person because kids learn the best by example, and so I'm trying to behave (at least around him ;) ) like the person I want him to be.

Friday Favorites - Spring Sandals

Last year we were attending a friend's 30th birthday party at a trampoline park (yes, you read that right: 30th birthday at a trampoline park. SMH)  In addition to the trampoline dodge ball courts they had (on which we competed without much incident), they had assorted other activities, like jumping off a trampoline with a basketball to make a slam dunk and fall in a foam pit, and a Tarzan rope you could jump off an elevated block and swing out into a foam pit and fall.

Polka-dot Dress Perfect for a Summer BBQ

Do you ever have those days where you think it's a day different than it is? Like it's a Monday and you think it's a Tuesday?  I usually have that happen with Thursday and Friday, thinking Thursday is Friday. That's always a bummer when you realize your error.  But this week it happened to me on Monday. I was thinking Monday was Tuesday, and if you follow me on Instagram you were teased that this look was coming here yesterday (and if you don't follow me, I'd love to have you!)  Sorry about that!  But here it is now!
