Mommy Fashion Monday

I thought it would be fun to start a new weekly post! And, if I can plan ahead, I think I can manage it! I know as a mom, that is still trying to loose the baby bulge (see my I want to loose it posts) it's so hard to find clothes that are fashionable and that cover without looking baggy.

This is what I put on Saturday to go to the grocery store and Target with the girls:

I'm wearing my hair up, because I didn't want to mess with it, and I'm loving messy up-do's right now. I'm also wearing a pair of dangling turquoise earrings that I received as a gift about 6 years ago!

My white shirt is a Favorite Tee from Gap Outlet, that cost between 6-9.00 on sale. I'm wearing a beige cardigan from Banana Republic that I purchased from the outlet store in November. I'm also wearing a skinny belt that I purchased in September from New York & Company. I love to wear a belt like this because it can define a waist while allowing the cardigan to cover.

My jeans are from the Levi Outlet, and I purchased those in November. I love rolled up jeans, and I've been sporting this look for the past few years. I really hope it's a look that doesn't go out of style, because it makes me feel more casual.

My shoes are a red ballet flat that I purchased from TJ Maxx. They are a Jessica Simpson brand and I love them! I get compliments on these shoes every time I wear them, and I love adding a pop of color (especially red) to my outfits.

I had originally added a red scarf as well, but I decided that I didn't want to wear a scarf while I was carrying MC in the bjorn around the grocery store. It would have been entirely too bulky. But, I'd remove the belt and wear the scarf when I didn't have to carry a baby on my hip!

Alright mommy's, stay tuned! I hope to bring you some fashionable and affordable ideas and would love for you to join me in posting your own Mommy Fashion Moments on your blogs!

Friday Family Night

La La La La La La....... we had family movie night tonight and I so much enjoyed it! G has done so well at sleeping in her own bed every night this week that I decided we would rent a movie after school today and that we would have a family movie night!

We went to the movie store and we narrowed our choices down to the Smurfs, Rio, or Charlotte's Web.
G finally settled on The Smurfs, and I was kind of excited because I love Neil Patrick Harris (even though he has a little sugar in his britches) I so remember watching him growing up and thinking he was a hottie (still is!)

DJ got home from work and we made tacos & cheese dip and enjoyed a not so quiet family dinner thanks to MC. Once the dishes were cleaned up and MC went to bed we popped popcorn and turned on our movie.

I told G earlier in the day that for family movie night we'd eat popcorn and snuggle together on the couch. She equally snuggled with both DJ, in his chair, and me, on the couch.

When we lived in Indiana, we would rent movies almost every weekend! I realized, while we were at the video store, that we hadn't rented movies and cuddled up in almost a year! It was so refreshing to just slow down, enjoy each other, and share a few laughs!

And, if you haven't seen the Smurfs, I do recommend it!

How did you spend your Friday night?

Our little honey pie!

I have no idea when we took these photos, but I had to share them. Because, after all, I do think our baby is just beautiful (both of the girls are) and I have to share their pictures. Don't all parents?I feel like MC is just getting longer and longer. She's had several trips to the doctor lately (due to ear infections) and I keep thinking that she'll pass the 16 lb mark, but she hasn't.
She loves to eat mums, probably because she can feed them to herself. She's had a few finger foods and she does well with them, but because she only has two bottom teeth, I still get nervous.
She's drooling a lot lately, so i'm hoping that we'll have some new teeth pop in soon!
And I feel like her hair is getting longer and longer. I know by age 1, G had a little bob and chin length hair, so i'm hoping that MCs will be just as long, and I'm certain that it'll be close.

We get tons of compliments on her hair and her eyes.

She loves to wave, and will just sit in the living room waving at us. She was babbling 'la la la' a few weeks ago, but she stayed home with DJ one day and she can now babble 'dada'. We're working on 'mama' but I don't think it's as important to her.

There are times when she is so happy, and there are other times where I want to pull my hair out because she just won't let me put her down. G wasn't like that. I could put her down and she could entertain herself, and she still does. Not MC. She wants your constant attention and affection.

DJ says I asked for that. That when G was a baby, I would wish that she would just let me hold and cuddle on her. That wish came true with MC. It's partly one reason that I'm so behind on everything.

But, I know she's our last baby (at least, our last planned baby) and i'm trying to enjoy it all, because she'll be a year old in just a few months and i'm already planning her first birthday party!

I'm glad that God gave her to us. I think we needed her in our family and that she adds such a balance. She makes me thankful to, that she's healthy and growing and so sweet. I try to predict what her personality will be when she gets older. I think she'll be soft spoken, but I also think that G will try to get her in trouble, and that she'll take the blame for a lot of things. It'll be interesting to see if I'm right.

Some new HPA items

I'm slowly getting back into sewing, crafting, and making hair bows. It's not been the transition that I wanted, because I wanted to dive in head first, but I still feel the need to take it slow and figure out how I can maintain my business, my family, my job, and not feel like i'm completely overwhelmed.

Here's a few items I've been able to complete over the past few weeks.
My sister in law asked me to make a tie appliqué for my nephews 6 month pictures. She wanted a black and white polk a dot fabric, so that's what she got! I love how it turned out and can't wait to see his photos!
The color of the above photo is awful. But, both of my girls will be wearing a fuchsia red chiffon floral heart on their shirts for Valentine's day. MCs shirt is the one above. G has a black shirt.
I love these pink and cream chiffon ruffled leg warmers that I ordered for a customer- fabulous!
And, I attempted a nagorie feather hair clip. I made two of these, that i'm keeping for both of my girls. But, i'm willing to sell these to customers upon request. They are simply stunning.
