Park fun!


Two posts in one day? Insanity! ;-)

It was about 60 degrees today so we made it to the park before the rain got here.

Here are a few favs
















 
I'm going to die!!!!

 


Big sister to the rescue!





Hand holding <3
















































Cheeto fingers!

Sewing Quickie

No measuring, no pinning, fly by the seat of my pants skirt made in 15 minutes.

Finally pulled out my sewing machine this morning for the first time in months and it was fun! Even though the skirt was thrown together Brielle loves it. Need to do this more often ;-)

Weekend Getaway and Sister Saturday

This weekend my parents kept the girls so that we could attend a wedding Saturday night that was a couple hours away, for a friend of Lee's from college. It was an adult only reception and fun to get away for a bit! We ended up only knowing one other couple there really, but we enjoyed talking to them and catching up---plus free food and wine is always good for me :-)

Here was our selfie before leaving the hotel!



I'm in desperate need of a haircut so I straightened my hair lol


Since the girls were not home for Sister Saturday I just snapped a quick one today after picking them up from my parents---Sister Sunday this week I guess!


Week 14

Soccer 2014

I posted this on Facebook last night:

Tonight was Raya's first soccer practice of 2014 and I'm feeling good about this season--she looks fierce, right?! lol. Fingers crossed that this season brings a lot less wedgie picking and a lot more goal making, compared to the fall season :-)  Go team Blizzard!!



Her first actual game is next Thursday :-)

Huge Fashion Show post!

Nothing to blog about today so I decided to post a bunch of random pics that I don't think have ever made it onto the blog! Some of these go back to February lol...but better late than never right? ;-)

Also, I feel the need to preface all my posts now with whether these are "pro" shots or "candids".....rest assured, these are largely unedited candids, so excuse the crappy quality :-P And if there are weird backgrounds in some of them it's b/c I still had my backdrop set up from an earlier client haha

Enjoy!

Yasmeen's Collection ruffle pants and Old Navy top

Naartjie---this was Raya's

Always loved the ruffles on the back!

Gymboree...and an example of Raya's modeling gone wrong lol.

I had them do a test shot for me before a client in their pjs hehe

Children's Place pjs....I used to buy lots of Gymboree matching pjs but they really like nightgowns now...luckily Brielle can pull off size 4 nightgowns in the big girl section so we can still match :-P

Random pic I took one day when I still had a backdrop set up lol

Gymboree pjs

eating purple jello jigglers while wearing purple dresses :-P


Tea Collection dress
Springtime is the season of ruined leggings on the preschool playground! ugh.

The girls always want to change clothes midday after Raya gets home from preschool. One day they came out wearing these lace dresses they wore to a wedding last fall haha. Very appropriate for a lazy day around the house, don't ya think? ;-P
I can't remember anymore why Brielle was pissed off :-P

Gymboree

Tea Collection

Target

Naartjie set that I bought ahead last summer for this year

Misc. brand dress and Naartjie pants

Gap

No Added Sugar dress...hilarious story, this brand sells for over $100 new---some foreign company. One day at my consignment store I randomly saw this dress in Brielle's size...they only wanted $8! Clearly they had no idea what the brand was LOL. (And while it's a super cute dress, I can't believe people pay $100 for it :-P)

The bustle ruffles on back are my favorite

Gap dress...so cute and classic, but sadly too small :-( Consignment store find.

Crazy 8 top and Gap skirt. Top says "Be kind to me I've had a long day" with a weiner dog hehe

Mini Boden top, Naartjie jeans, Gymboree boots

Pumpkin Patch dress

Hanna Anderrson

Gymbo

Old Navy top and Target Jeans (she'll actually wear these jeans!)


That is all ;-)

Sister Saturday and Playing outside!

First up, the girls were at Lee's parents this weekend so we did our sister Saturday picture on Monday this week!

Aren't they cute?! And yes, they insisted on fancy sleeveless dresses in our cold weather haha



Then yesterday it actually warmed up to 60 degrees in the afternoon, so we played outside for a bit!

I took pictures, but be warned I was too lazy to edit them much and the sunlight wasn't great for taking nice photos.




Trampoline!




divalicious Brielle! haha




 
Happy Tuesday everyone!
