Splish Splash

Hey. I haven't been slacking.  For the second time in a month I have a sinus infection and ear infection.  Seriously, what 34 year old gets ear infections?  Ugh.  So today's post is dedicated to SUMMAH.  I'm skipping right over Spring and moving on to 80 degree weather, beers on the beach, sand between your toes and sun kissed faces.  I need the summer. ASAP.

Swimwear.  Yes.  It's bathing suit time my fellow friends. Suck it up or in some cases suck it in.   I am ready.  Four months post baby and this rockin mama is bikini ready.  Gloating.  Just a little.  If you're not ready, well get moving.  You won't get any sympathy from this gal.  No excuses - especially the "I don't have time" line. You are no busier than anyone else.  Make the time. I've said my piece. Now get to the gym or get shopping.  Your choice.

I choose to shop.

Nautical. Obviously.

Bring. It. On.  This gal is ready for some fun in the sun. xox

Blurred Vision

I have a vision. A gorgeous vision. Close your eyes and visualize with me for a moment...

Toddler girl. Infant boy. Beautifully dressed.  Crisp, clean and stain free.  Smiling, happy siblings frolicking in the sun. Behaving like normal human beings wearing the likes of Lilly, Burberry, Vineyard Vines, and J Crew. Can you see it?

Lil' fella...

                                                                                     

      

                                                                             

and his fierce big sister...

having a whale of a time...

Now open your eyes. No, your vision isn't blurred.  This is my REALITY.  Wrinkled and stain ridden. Semi-happy, drooling, teething siblings sitting on the couch watching Barney wearing the likes of Carters, Target and Walmart brand clothing.   

I snapped this beauty last evening. My gal is sporting a gorgeous Carters onesie with a pair of amazing orange velor pants.  Score.

Wow, this is a gem. Another Carters onesie laden with stains from the Chef Boyardee ravioli we had for dinner.  My wee one also in Carters.  Style icons? I think so.

 

And there you have it. With the blink of an eye my vision is gone. xox

Sail Away with Me

Ahoy mates and welcome aboard.  I'm super excited as this is my first of hopefully many posts.  I'm not sure where to start so I'll dive right in and share some of my favorite things.  Every year around this time as the weather begins to change and the latest spring fashions hit the shelves I find myself obsessing over all things nautical.  Is it me or is the nautical theme dominating spring fashion?  Here are some pieces no gal should live without.  Scratch that last thought...I'm forced to live without because I don't have any money. Womp womp.


Kiel James Patrick nautical bracelets.  Simple. Preppy. Fun.

I may have gone a little over board with all the stripes but I can't help myself. If anyone wants to buy me the Kate Spade Nera coat below feel free.  Size small and I'll send you my mailing address.
