Shopping Spree!!!

I have to say, my little photographers are getting good! :)

Ok, so i have the world's BEST boss. seriously.  I'm more less an administrative assistant/personal assistant and I couldn't have asked for a better job.  Anne, "THE boss", let's me pick and choose my hours, she set me up with an awesome office in my home and i get to go on two PAID vacations a year for the company and it's WITH the husband.......and just recently she sent me on a shopping spree to BCBG for "administrative assistants" day.  Oh, and let us not forget the Fendi heels, the countless kate spade purses, Tory Burch flats, and many other things she has bestowed upon me because (as i said) she is the. best. boss. ever.....and a great friend that i have been extremely blessed with. 

Out with the sister!!

On the lookout...

Help me find this shirt or something similar....because again, it's trendy, but easy to wear, which is what I need while cleaning up after three kids, and running errands and making lunches and cleaning up lunches and changing diapers and doing laundry and going grocery shopping and preparing dinner and cleaning up after dinner.......

TJ Maxx made it all better!

I thought this cardigan for $14.00 at TJ Maxx was a good choice for an "everyday" kind of outfit.  I have to have a couple different outfits that are comfortable for the everyday grind, but still kindof stylish.....i thought this worked pretty well with the fuscia belt from Lord and Taylor!  ....and i'm pretty proud of my "blogger" pose here......

  I'm getting goooood at the "blog" pose!!!

Katy Perry Concert!!

What a fun time!  4 of us went to the Katy Perry Concert at the US Naval Academy (thanks Dale and Manda), had awesome seats and I felt 15 again!! 

trying to stay "cute" in DISNEY WORLD!!!!

I love Disney.  Like LOVE.  So i was so excited when my parents planned a trip for Mike, myself and the girls to go this past week!  I always said that the only reason i had kids was to take them to the happiest place on earth :)  and although it wasn't always magical, we had a great time as a family and walked away with many memories!!  Mike and I went to Orlando with the expectation of "this is THE GIRLS vacation-not ours" and although we did get to lounge by the pool most of the day with an orange crush always in hand-it was THEIR vacation and mommy and daddy are now broke!!!  Here are a few Disney Pics....in case lex, you didn't see enough on FB!!  :)

Although it's not the greatest outfit, it's still "cute" enough for Disney!!! 
Cardigan: Land's End
Jeans: Lord and Taylor

Again, not my best ensemble, but it will DO for being comfortable in Disney while taking care of three kids!!
These shorts I found at TJMaxx recently for $16.99

Me and the husband! 
Skirt: Nordstrom rack $24.99
Tank: Victoria's Secret for $7.00!!

Easter

"Vacation" with the girls.....

and i use the word "vacation" loosely as it's really THE Girls vacation rather than mine and Mikes.....
This week is going to be all about the girls and hopefully them having the time of their lives.  I hope they walk away with fun memories of this trip because we have promised them that mommy and daddy won't fight or won't have their normal "over it and frusterated" attitudes that we tend to have during any given day!! 

I'm super excited for them to visit Disney World because c'mon there is something magical about it, it's where mike and i got engaged--I'll have to share that story another time..... and because we are prepared to spend major money on stupid crap and be the worlds BEST parents!!!!  High hopes, i know.....but i'm challenging myself to give them that for the five short days we will be there.  And no worries, I have ordered our groceries and more importantly ADULT drinks to be in our room waiting for us when arrive!

Enless Options...

I think I may need to go buy another maxi skirt as i'm sure people are going to get sick of seeing me in this one.  I love this basic black maxi  because i have so many options with it.  and because it's ultra comfortable and stylish  it's obviously two fantastic reasons for me to go buy 5 more-right?!?!  exactly!

annnd there's the $9.99 blue scarf again!

So i have one kid snapping pictures (yes, my kids are my photographers) and this tired one at my feet! 

Another "day in the life of......"

This is a typical picture.  me working with the girls right there in the office, most likely on my lap, until I get clausterphobic and make them "GET OUT NOW, ALL OF YOU, NOW!!!"

Emme was my photographer for this pic. 

The scarf was $9.99 at Nordstrom KIDS department and the Free People shirt($19.00) and Hudson jeans($59.00) were both from Nordstrom rack.  With Tory Burch flats.

and yes, I am chewing a potato chip in this picture.

 I saw this shirt on another blog and really liked it.  I will be trying out a couple other similar (more inexpensive) pieces i really liked as well, those to come. 

I really liked this shirt because it was easy to wear and thought it was very cute without looking like you are trying too hard! :)  you can stop making fun of me now Alexis!
