What I Wore Wednesday {Holidays are Here.}

I haven't posted on the blog in ages. I  feel a new years resolution.  Ha.  But. Yes, it's the holidays. We all survived Thanksgiving.  I didn't even have to cook the bird. Probably why I had the energy and desire to decorate not one,  but 3 christmas trees throughout the house. The holidays are officially here.

What I Wore Wednesday

Good Morning.  Just another hot morning here in NC. Rushing 2 of the littles off on the bus.  Iced coffee in hand.  Cody has a dentist appointment to hopefully get his space maintainer out. He had a tooth pop in fast. 

Tonight, baseball. Of course.

Even the cup is target & the flip flops. Seriously target style today. Haha.

What I Wore Wednesday

Good Morning. Just another Wednesday.  I got a new top & flip flops. But just fyi the flip flops suck. They are size 8, and they fit like a 7. I should of teturned, but don't like to mess around with shipping returns.     The top is a good fit & comfy, but I don't dare dry it in fear it will shrink. I never buy from gap. But they had an awesome online deal & plus the ebates rewards. However,  even the pants I bought the boys are crazy small compared to purchasing the same size at Old Navy or Target.  I will need to keep this in mind, order a size or 2 up.

What I Wore Wednesday

My little Emma has been itching to spend Birthday money. And we have had a few Birthday gifts we had to purchase,  so we went to Charming Charlies. I  love the style, but especially the prices!  While we were browsing I spotted the clearance rack of women's tops! I love the "slinky" material of this shirt. Only $14 too. The length is fabulous and the  scoop of the neck is perfect.  I've already worn it twice since I bought it, it will surely be a go to shirt in my closet.

What I Wore Wednesday

Its bunny season up in here.  And the typical camera bag production line happening.  I had the dreadful wisdom teeth extraction done.  Yay to that shit being done & over with.  Finally, almost 3 weeks later I feel GOOD.  However, I started today off with a freakin' headache.  Don't worry, I killed it with coffee, sunshine, a cold cloth, and a hard candy in my cheek while at the bus stop. Feeling a bit dressed down today.  But I am not going anywhere, just me in the machine, all day.  Anyways, finally back to the machine. Planning to be super productive today.

What I Wore Wednesday {Eat.sleep.sew}

It's been warm & sunny here the last couple of days. Loving that I was able to rock the flats and such. But today. Another story. It's 37°. Brrr.  And the sun forgot to come up. 

Mr. L  headed North this morning.  I do hope he stays inside as much as possible with lows in the single digits. And highs in the 20s. Ugh.

What I Wore Wednesday {It's Been Awhile...}

It really has been awhile. I haven't bothered to photo, let alone post a WIWW blog post being that I have nothing new or different in my closet.  Today I am wearing my yellow shorts from Target that I have posted a time or twelve.  I have layered two racer back tanks both from Old Navy with a light cardi from Old Navy as well.  It's a little chilly out this morning, but later today it will be in the 80s.  So yes, I am still rocking the flip flops till I can't stand it & my toes freeze off.
 
Instead you should enjoy this photo of my cuties on picture day.  I don't purchase the photos, but this is the head shot they throw in the year book & the day they take class pictures.  - So they are looking good for it.  Emma of course has gym, wouldn't you know? She brought her sandals for pictures in her bag.  I am just glad I got her to agree to putting on shorts under the dress.  She wanted to bring a whole change of clothes for pictures that we aren't even purchasing.  This was our mutual agreement.

What I Wore Wednesday {Fall is in the air. I love it.}

 


You all know how much I love fall. The colors. The smells. I keep my house smelling of all things Fall year round. But you know what. I really really love summer. If I could live somewhere that was year round summer that would be great. Days by the pool. Cooler nights by the fire, grilled EVERYTHING.  This is the last week of the pool here & its been down right chilly.  High of 72 today & I am dressed warm. I love fall.  But I don't love what comes next. Winter. Who's with me?

Time to get to the machine.  Today is the day I find out how well {or not} the 1 inch foam goes through my new machine.  Three camera bags & a bunch of Halloween orders coming up in the next coming days.  Get ready!  Happy Wednesday.

What I Wore Wednesday {Back To School}

The littles are back at it. Weeks 4 - 13 here we go.  Always rough getting back to schedule after a track out. But we seem to be falling in nicely.  Baseball starts back up on Saturday & that may make things a little tougher. Hard to open your eyes at 7 am after being at baseball till 930 pm.  Don't get me wrong,  we are super ciked to get back to baseball. ⚾ For reals.

What I Wore Wednesday {Wear your sunscreen, cover yourself}

Its been awhile. I've been busy again. Or just not wearing anything.  Wearing my bikini - sitting poolside getting my summer glow on.  See it?  Well honestly my tan is fading away.  Doesn't take near as long to lose it as it does to get it.  That's a good thing though right?  Don't pull that "wear your sunscreen, cover yourself" bullshit on me.  I get enough of that from my sister. That girl tried to coat me in SPF 55 when we went to the pool together.  Back the f up.   Drink water & use after sun lotion.  Hydrate.  That is all. 



Well today I am wearing a real comfy knit top by Old Navy & a knit stripped skirt made by yours truly.  My sandals are from Rack Room by X-Appeal.  {They are so last year! *wink*} 

Here's to a productive day.  Happy Wednesday.

What I Wore Wednesday

Yesterday I ran errands with my sister & Ezra. She was in search of a swim suit. While at Old Navy I spotted this cute black dress, that looked like it might be just long enough that if a good wind blows it won't show you all my underware. I went ahead and tried it on.  Sure enough it was a great length & comfortable too.  Double win.  Its perfect for this hot summer.  {Its not even technically summer yet & we have been in the upper 90s several day & heat index of 108.  Oye.  Its looking like its going to be a brutal summer. }  I don't typically spend over $20 on a dress.  This one was $22 then it was Tuesday so 10% off with my Old Navy Card.  So just under $20.  Win.   I actually ended up getting these cute shoes at Walmart.  I never go to Walmart.  The kids couldn't believe I bought shoes there.  We will see how long they last.  - Super cute & totally worth the $9 regardless.

What I Wore Wednesday {All Stars & Limousine}

Good Morning.  Happy Wednesday.  Currently enjoy a fresh salad for breakfast.  That's just how I roll.  Spinach, cucumbers, peppers, avocado & mushrooms.  My favorite.  -  Last night was our last Rec League Season game.  No time for breaks friends, tonight we start practice with the All Star team.  That's right, my boy Cody made All Stars again this season.  He's pretty Awesome that one.
 
At 12:30 this afternoon my book worm, Jack is off to Pizza lunch - via Limousine.  That boy.  He read the most books in his class & gets to join 12 other students with the Assistant Principal on a fun outing to celebrate reading. 

 
On my sewing to do list today.  A camera bag in aqua chevrons & Washies - 4 sets.  I am changing it up this time, per clients request.  Terry Cloth.  Yes. That's right.  Real  scrubbing power.  Sometimes, with toddlers, that's more important than softness.  Yes. Big messes.

What I Wore Wednesday {Home Run}

Good Morning Friends. This morning it is refreshingly cool outside.  It won't last long.  Cody proclaimed "if everyday was like this life would be so much better..."  Oh my little 10 year old.
Last night we were supposed to have baseball.  {Was finally going to get my baseball fix!}  As we got closer to the field the darker it got.  It was like the storm was hovering only over the park.  For real.  The rain was really coming down but the boys took the field anyways.  We were the away team & Cody was up to bat first.  One Pitch. One Hit. One Run!  Home Run Cody!  Only two more batters got up before they called the game.  The field quickly began to look like a lake.  {So much for our baseball fix!}  Back home we went & it was dry.  No rain here.  Hmph.

What I Wore Wednesday

It's been a couple weeks...  I have been in a clothes rut. Also lack of clothes, sitting poolside.  Oh yea.
Today I am showered, dressed, and coffee in hand by 8 am. What's up with that?  This weeks outfit I really had to dig deep for.  Like I said I am in a rut.  I have no new summer clothes, so I went shopping in my own closet.  This top is at least 3 years old & the shorts are probably 4 or 5 years old.  Oh well.  Comfy & Cute.  Ready to take on this HOT 90 degree day.

What I Wore Wednesday (Last Week of Track Out)

We are in our final week, actually days,  of trackout.  It always goes by fast.  I am not ripping my hair out yet. We have been super busy with baseball.  Lots of baseball. We have this weekend off for mothers day. What to do? Typically we go strawberry picking.  Just not sure if it is a good year for strawberries here in NC.  And to top it all off Mr.  L is on call this week. Work has been slow though. We have seen lots of Mr. L during trackout. Yay. Jack and I are working on Xtra math & achieve3000 ... good ol' homework.  Off to enjoy five more days without packing lunches x3.

What I Wore Wednesday {The Cats Ass}

My Grandparents traveled through and made a stop at our house for two nights over the weekend. They were able to catch one of Cody's Select games.  Knights vs Youngsville.  We totally won.  It didn't look good with a score of 7-0 but, we pulled it off in the last two innings.  Final score 8-7!  Awesome.  
We went home and celebrated with pizza dinner.  My grandma couldn't believe we had such a fabulous shopping center within walking distance of our house {not that we walked}.  We have five restaurants, grocery & pharmacy, as well as some other shoppes in the plaza.  She referred to it all as....  "the cats ass!"  Have you all heard that one?  I mean, I've heard of "the cats meow" or "the bees knees", but never  "the cats ass."  Sorry Grandma.  Well, we totally googled that shit, er, ass, and its a thing.  You guys.  It was popular in the 1920s.  My grandma isn't that old.  Now determined to make it have its comeback.

What I Wore Wednesday {coffee and relaxing}

I've been visiting with family & running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  Movies. Baseball. Dinner. School. Dishes. Building. Shopping. Yes! Papa and Bonnie are in town. My house is full.. today however I am alone enjoying a cup of coffee and relaxing. The littles are still in school this week and we have had baseball almost every day since last Friday.  Busy. Yesterday we got to work on my raised garden. Today is too stinkin cold to finish it up. Tomorrow. I just have to add soil. It's looking amazing. Can't wait to see it full of fresh veggies for the summer.

Alright. Here's what I am wearing.
