one crazy month

Oh my, what a month it has been! I swear all I ever do is play catch up. I think I am going to sit down and schedule in some blog time. I really do miss sitting down an reading all the posts on my blog roll and sharing about what's going on in my world with everyone.

I want to start off by talking about the name of my blog. I have spoke about my little identity crisis in the past and apparently still feel confused. I hope you all don't think I am too crazy. Xo

Now on to the catching up part. I thought the best way to catch everyone up was to just post the pictures. Hope you all enjoy this little catch up post! 

Let's start with these wonderful Strawberry Spinach Popsicles I made for the boys. They were super easy to make and they were super yummy!

This delicious Enchilada Casserole was a HUGE hit with the family! Thank you Jen! 

 My amazingly wonderful friends got me this awesome Kelly Moore Libby bag. And I absolutely love it!

Tyler started flag football, and even though it has been rocky and back and forth, he still loves it.

Love watching him play!!!

Finally got my Fall Bucket List up from Loves of Life. Thank you Katie!

Found this sign at Marshall's and thought it would make a great addition to my kitchen.

 Bought me some new boots for this fall and have been having fun dressing myself from Pinterest :)

 And dressing myself out of things that I find in the back of my closet. 

Well that has been a lot of catching up for the past month. Hoping that I will be better about at least updating every couple of days instead of every month. 

Y'all have a Wonderful Wednesday! 

playing catch up

Here it is Wednesday and I have not posted on thing this week. I swear one of these days I will get my act together and start posting regularly again, but until then my sporadic-ness will have to do. Sad I know. I will do better. 

Let me start by saying that I have not had one beer or cigarette since Sunday night. This is HUGE! I really like to have a beer in the evenings and lets not even mention my morning cigarette. The no beer is because of a bet between me and a friend. (PS. Im gonna win!)

I thought since I was giving up my vices I would also start being a little healthier than I am now. I could stand to lose a couple of pounds and eat a little better than I do. I could definitely drink more water than I do! So this week I made a couple of healthy meals to replace my not so healthy meals. 

The first one was a Pinterest find and it was UH-MAY-ZING! I so will be making this one again! And again! Seriously you guys, you have to try these Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Not only were they something I want to make all the time, they were super easy to make as well. 

The other one is a Veggie Stuffed Sweet Potato. I got the idea from Jen over at Peas and Crayons and fell in love! They really are the easiest thing ever. I cook my potato in the microwave for 6 minutes then load it down with tomatoes, black olives, bell pepper, jalapeño, and a little dollop of sour cream. Yum! You can load your down with anything you like. The possibilities are endless.

Now that I have told you what I ate I will just give a brief explanation of this last pic.

This year I decided to be an active member of the PTA and figured that I should probably dress a little more like a mom than I have all summer. Somehow I don't think the cutoff shorts and tank tops would go over so well at our first meeting of the year. (I can hear Harper Valley PTA playing in the back of my head as I type this.) 

After a lot of looking of Pinterest I dug this out of the back of my closet and thought it would make a cute outfit. I really like the stripes with the camo! I did change the pants though. I just had to wear my ripped up boyfriend jeans :) 

Well there ya have it! I have y'all all caught up. Hopefully this will continue so I don't have post so much at once from now on. Happy Wednesday!

comfy warmer weather outfits

Good afternoon lovelies! 

You wanna know some super awesome, super exciting news?

Spring and Summer, you know those two seasons where warm weather starts pushing the cold weather out and you don't freeze your tail off every time you walk out the door, are almost here! 

Time to jump for joy! 

I have been been waiting almost 4 months for warmer weather to get here. Just when we think that winter is almost over WHAM! some cold front makes it's way down from the north and slams us with cold weather all over again. It's really depressing. But with SpRiNg BrEaK right around the corner (literally!) I thought I would share some of my fave SpRiNg BrEaK outfits. 

It doesn't matter if you are going to be relaxing in some cozy seaside town or hopping from place to place in the busy city, I think these are the perfect go to outfits for any occasion. The best part is I can make almost every outfit with stuff from my closet :)

What are you doing for SpRiNg BrEaK this year? What are some of your go to styles?

comfy fall/winter clothes

Since I am super busy today and want to blog about something I let the cooler weather we have been having inspire me :)

There is just something about colder weather and comfy clothes don’t ya think?

This sweater looks really comfy and really warm.
And you can dress it up or down. Great find at Cabelas!

I really like this sweater.
Maybe it’s the color, but I really would love to lounge around or go grocery shopping in this one!
Another great find at Cabelas.

I can’t have too many hoodies!
They are my go to item when it’s cold outside.

Comfy sweatpants are a MUST!
You can get these at Maurice's for $29.99

I LOVE Bearpaw boots!
I need another pair for this winter.

And lastly, I would really like to get me a pair of Frye Campus Boots.
But I am not sure if I want to spend that much $$ on them or not.

spring/summer wish list

I don’t usually post about fashion or clothes. Not because I don’t want to, I just think that my fashion sense, to be honest, kinda sucks! But today it is a breezy 71* and it got me thinking about a new spring/summer wardrobe. Can we say hello summer dresses and flip flops!

I have always been a tomboy type person. I could not live without my comfy jeans, t-shirts & cheap flip flops. But lately, I have been wanting to upgrade my wardrobe. I was looking through my closet the other day and I still have pieces that I wore in high school, which is incredibly sad because I graduated 10 years ago! I want to have some fun pieces that I can wear to church or dinner or running errands.

My favorite place to get fashion inspiration is Victoria’s Secret. I ‘m not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with my mom shopping there for years. And I just love their clothes!

Another great place that I find fashion inspiration is Pinterest! I can always find whole outfits put together that are a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e. And with them already pieced together for me, all I have to do is try and find the pieces :)
