Sweet and Simple

Oh the joys/pains of being on a budget!!  I am determined to lower our credit card debt...and the best way to do that is work what you got.  I paired this striped shirt with this pink skirt for a sweet little outfit to take the kiddos to the library.  I thought it made me look smart, young, and yet still conservative enough for being a mom.  I mean...you don't want to be wearing your sexy outfit to the library, right?  Lots of disapproving eyes from behind horned rimmed glasses if you know what I mean. And I desperately need to get a new pair of gold flats....any suggestions peeps?

Holy Moly...

...Is it THURSDAY already???  Where have I been??  Well I'll tell you...I've been working hard at my Etsy shop, Lemon Squeezies, I've been planning and executing a 2 years old's bday party....this guy here..

{Yes I made his shirt...I love!!!}

...planning and soon to execute my sister in laws 40th bday party, and just generally trying to get my life back in order!  So I guess this week has kinda flown by without me doing much else!  But I did manage to throw together a half decent outfit on the first day I could wear shorts!  Yay!!!

Fun fact about these shorts...they were skin tight in January.  Craig even asked if they were new and I practically yelled "NO!!! THEY'RE OLD!!!  LIKE, PRE WEDDING OLD!!!!!!"  I got a little excited....

Oh...and I read some "scare the pants off of me" article about skin cancer and I've decided to embrace the whiteness....and to use self tanner.  Jergens is a miracle worker!  No more booths for me!
