A Little Leg



Although my legs are not quite the COLOR I want yet (no...bright white is not my favorite color...), all this training and running certainly has toned them up and made me so excited to wear skirts and shorts!  I still had to toss on a jacket when we went out...as it really only was in the low 60's this day...but the sun and the skirt action made me feel like it was well into the perfect 75 degrees!


{See my eyes?  I'm pretty sure you can imagine that someone is just off camera doing something not so kosher...}

Busy Little Bee

So sorry I've been M.I.A. the past few days friends!  There has been a TON of stuff going on...most of which do not include looking cute.  The first and foremost would be that I just ran a marathon on Sunday


Clearly this is before the race, where I am still standing.  JK...I actually did quite well for my first race!  Yes...first race.  No 5k, 10k, or half marathons.  I'm an all out kinda girl.  I'll tackle the hardest one first and then do all the "easy" stuff!  

I've also been super busy with my Etsy shop going on.  Have you guys ever visited?  You may want to check it out!  The name just got changed to the cutest name ever.....LemonSqueezies!  I just love it!  I do just a little of everything...as it comes to me you know?  Boys ties for boys, knit hats and baby shoes and such, and tote bags and more!  Like I said....as the ideas come to me...things go up in the shop.  Soon to come....picnic blankets for summer!  Super fun!








And along the same lines of the knitting and sewing...I created this totally awesome hat for one of my favorite kids ever!  My best friends son is turning 3 and he LOVES his super heros.  So, for summer, he gets a reversible super hero hat.  Go Iron Man and Hulk!

These look totally odd when they aren't on the head of a kid...but it's awesome.  If anyone is interested, since they aren't in the shop yet, I can make one for your kids!  Just let me know!  (yes i shamelessly advertised my services and product on my own site.  I ain't to proud!  :)  )

So now I'm just on the couch trying to recover from running a whole crap load of miles.  My body has succumbed to the pain, so as soon as I get some feeling in my legs back and my feet stop throbbing, I'll be back, good as new!  Hope you all are having a busy, yet fun, spring time!  Love and kisses!

Photo Bombers


I officially have little photo bombers.  They here the click of the camera and come running in to pose.


This is Blue Steel.  


This is my "hey lets go spend some money we don't have at Target" outfit!  Yay!  Just kidding....we did actually need stuff....like bananas.  And a waterproof running jacket because it's supposed to pour this Sunday.  Oh yeah....and that's when I'm running my marathon.  Really, Fate?  My first marathon...and you make it rain up in here.  Fantastic. 


Surprise kisses made it better.  Not only is he a photo bomber...he's a ham in front of the camera.  He heard the beep beep and said "I kiss you."  I'm taken off guard...clearly.


The kids were being cute.  My "Awwwwwwww" face.  I don't remember what they were doing exactly.  Maybe the little one was feeding the big one.  I don't know how that started...but they love it.


The two dudes and mom.  Hunter (the big one) was yelling "Stop picturing and let's go to the store!  Go to Target!"  Alright, alright....I can't argue with excitement to go to Target!

The Deets:
Sweater: Old Navy (really...are you surprised?  Everything I get is from there now)

Toned Down Neon


We had a small cold snap in the middle of all this 70 degree weather, which I found the perfect opportunity to get one last wear out of my fave sweater of winter, this neon "grellow" super bright knit.  I like how it's so bright and cheery for Spring, yet nice and cozy for Winter still!  It's the perfect contradiction!


I paired the acid green bundle of goodness with some, what I consider, more neutral pieces, which made it such an easy to wear, everyday piece.  The checked shirt peeking out and the brown boots are the perfect casual compliment to an otherwise loud piece.  And by doing this, I don't feel like the color totally overwhelms me.


Somebody got mad...I hollered at him for touching the tri-pod.


Now it's just funny...but he stayed there forever....



Seriously....forever.
