Happy Weekend! I saw this little danger trap on the way to a client’s house recently. Mommy-son lunch date at where else but Mexican. My friend Alissa (in the silver) just bought a new house and had some work people over for a little housewarming. We took Ben to a live nativity scene at a local church one weekend before Christmas. Showing off one of the Christmas presents his little brother received. One of my best friends was in town and we had lunch on New Years Eve at a local brewery.  A crazy and wild New Years Eve night. Ben finally crashed on the couch around 10:30. Although I…

What’s been going on this past month? Ben finally got a matching umbrella for his rain boots. We enjoyed some 80 degree days and Ben “worked” on his bike. Doing a little water color painting This has been burning non-stop. I may never go back to Yankee after using Bath & Body Works candles. The smell fills up our entire house even when it’s not lit. Cousins made sure Cookie Monster had his fill of play-doh. I celebrated a birthday and J got me this new beauty. We went to our first festival of the fall season. And of course we made sure to polish up on our Rock Band…

We have been loving the temperatures lately! 80 degrees is such a nice change from 105. Ben has been so excited to get out of the house and ride his bike until he can’t ride anymore. We’ve gotten to know our new neighborhood quite well and all the streets around us are cul-de-sacs which are perfect for riding bikes. I’m on week 2 of the fashion challenge. This week I had my most favorite outfit and also an outfit I will definitely not wear again.  First up, the one I loved. And the outfit I hated. Just no to the whole thing. Taking the first outfit from day to night. We…

Lauren over at My Grey Desk is hosting a fashion challenge for all us ladies. Since I didn’t get my sh*t together in time I’ve created my own little challenge for myself. 30 different outfits in 30 days. Of course I’m able to mix and match the same tops and bottoms, but no exact outfit duplicates for 30 days. Here’s the first 6 outfits. And yes the mirror and lighting are still horrific in this house too. I will find a solution. Even if it’s just some Windex.

Although I got quite a bit done around the house last weekend, looking back it doesn’t feel like it. Anyone else ever feel that way? One thing I did manage to get done was painting the bathroom a more neutral grey. This is the upstairs guest bathroom/Ben’s bathroom and it was a BRIGHT salmon color. All that’s left is for J and I to agree on a shower curtain and then I’ll post the bathroom reveal. For the past week, Ben has been taking swimming lessons and learning to use his “ice cream scooper hands” in the water.  Obviously he has the jumping off part down. Remember how one of…
