I went shopping, which I thought would be mostly window shopping, but I ended up purchasing some skinny jeans and a knit shirt. The shirt fit well, but after a bit of soul searching and price tag gazing, I decided to take it back. I mean…I can make that for much, much, much less. *sigh* […]

This dress I made for moi. I love the styling on this dress with the contrast accents. I probably could have made this a size or two smaller, but better to go big and cinch it in than to not be able to wear it at all. It has too much fabric in the back, […]
Before I got pregnant with #1 at the ripe old age of 29, I feared what having a baby would do to my body. I watched a few of my cousins blossom from smallish sizes to plus sizes in the span of a few years upon having children. I didn’t want that to happen to […]

My aunt: You sure look good! You did a great job at losing the weight after you had kids. How do you do it? Me: Lots and lots of salads. My aunt: Oh. There is no magic metabolism pill once you reach a certain age. It is work. It sucks that you can’t eat like […]
This outfit was for a girl’s night out in a casual Italian eatery. I tend to overdress, but I rarely get to dress up fun anymore. I’m fine with the looks of “Why is she wearing THAT here??”. It’s the only time I get to have a little self expression with fun dressing. There is […]

Hard to believe, but the first year of school is done today, which seems pretty late. It is due to all those random days off they take during the year. I KNOW we didn’t have all those days off and we were usually out a few days after Memorial Day. Kailan has really seemed to enjoy […]
[child error] is the excuse of so many mishaps in the house, isn’t it? In our three season porch we have a “wicker” couch and chair set that we bought at The Home Depot. It is wicker looking (i.e. a woven plastic of some sort) and the cushions were a nice plain utilitarian beige. Unfortunately, when […]
