What I'm Loving

Hair.
I've been growing my hair out for some time now.  I always grow it and then chop it and this time I've done a good job at not doing that.  Till now.  I'm getting the itch, seems like that always happens around fall.  Last year I went ombre and loved it but I'm not ready to change my color again.  I'm loving this cut because it's not too short but looks super easy.  I love that it's longer in the front, shorter in the back.  Sooo...I'm thinking of taking the plunge.


Dress.
I stocked up on some easy, can wear as my body changes pieces before I had James.  All from Old Navy, of course.  I got two of these dresses figuring they'd be comfy and I'd be able to dress them up or down and boy was I right.  These have been my go-to "outfits" since James has been born.  I wear them with sandals, flats, belted in the middle, so easy and so versatile and surprisingly flattering!  Highly recommend.
TV.  
As you know, or maybe you don't, Jimmy and I do not agree on movies.  At all.  TV shows we can do, we love watching series together on Netflix.  We are just finishing Dexter and so we decided we better find a new love and so we've started Weeds recently.  OMG I am in love.  It's so wrong in so many ways, obviously, but I cannot help but be obsessed with it.  It's funny, the cast is great, makes you think, "OMG this could be MY neighborhood" all at the same time.  I'm so glad there are like a million episodes.

Blog.
I love love love my blog design and love my blog designer even more.  She's having a super sale on blog designs next week {Sept.13-15} and she's offering a FULL blog design for just $30!  I am taking her up on this offer and here's a little peak at what I'm thinking.  

Coffee.
You know I'm a coffee with my creamer kind of girl.  I've scaled back on the sugar/Spledna but the cream I cannot skimp on. I love it.  I will pretty much try any creamer that comes out {so long as my grocery store carries it, which is not very likely} and sometimes I'm in love and other times I'm gagging.  This time, I'm in love.  If you haven't tried the Coffee-Mate Coconut Caramel {aka Girl Scout Samoa} you are missing out.  SO GOOD!
Reading.
I saw this floating around on Facebook yesterday and finally got to read it last night when the babies were in bed. I needed that.  It's funny how that works. That's something I love about blogs.  It's like just when I am having a crap-tastic day I find a post written by a fellow blogger that just makes me instantly feel better.  If you are feeling like a defeated, tired, not good enough mom I suggest you check it out.

Readers.
Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement on my post yesterday {except for YOU, "Samantha"}.  Please know that most of our days are still good, in fact yesterday was our first/only "bad" day since James has been born.  Once everyone got his/her nap life was good again. Here's hoping today & this weekend is awesome!

  1. I contacted your blog designer. thanks for the info.

  2. I am obsessed with Old Navy right now. I love their maternity clothes, I don't think there is anything more comfortable than a pair of leggings and a tunic at this point and I'm sure I will get my use out of those items over the next 5 months.

    Loved your post yesterday, sometimes we all need that dose of honestly. I'm terrified about being a new mom, but I know I have this community, my family and friends to help me along the way. And maybe a box of wine won't hurt either :) Have a great weekend!

  3. Ok. I just read "Samantha's" comment and all I have to say about that is she can take a nose dive into a shallow pool. Seriously. I wrote a similar post (exactly one year ago on the same day as you actually - weird) about my worst day with two kids and to this day, that was still the worst and I remember cracking a beer open at 430 and loving every last, delicious sip. You are doing nothing wrong, TODDLERS ARE EFFING CRAZY. Keep on keeping on, Mama. You got this.

  4. I have that same exact dress from Old Navy and LOVED it at the beginning of my pregnancy when I was flirting with the line between looking pudgy and looking pregnant. It helped my bump look more like a bump.
    I'm going to have to get my hands on some of that Samoa creamer. Those are my favorite girl scout cookies!

  7. LOVE that hair! I'm totally doing that too. Short in back but long in front means "long hair" half the work. Um yes!

    I've been wondering about Weeds. I think that'll be my next series!

  12. I love your blog colors... I am making a change this month too. Actually hiring a designer, changing colors, the name and some. I can't wait! I am a coffee with my creamer girl too... I am going to have to look into this GS creamer. More so now that I won't be working in the vacinity of a Starbucks.

  15. Love that hair cut! I just chopped mine off a couple weeks ago after letting it grow for 2 years. It went from the middle of my back to not even touching my shoulders. I say go for it! :)

  16. I'm thinking about chopping my hair even more than I already have. I grow and cut and change the color of blonde I am all the time and it almost always start at the fall for me too.

    Have you tried the Thin Mint creamer - so yum!

  18. Good for you for calling out "Samantha". I don't have kids (yet.. maybe one day, in the far far future) but even I know not to criticize how someone else parents. And for the record, I don't think you need to be criticized! Cheers to you, mama!

  19. I love your new design! I'd love one, too, might have to look your gal up.

    Ok, going to have to go back and see what 'Samantha' said.
