Momma Spring Style

As a mom, sometimes I forget to shop for myself.  I spend so much time wearing yoga pants and old Tshirts running around town.  Last weekend, my Mother in Law was in town.  She spoiled me with a couple new wardrobe staples and it got me thinking that I could really use a wardrobe makeover! Here’s what I have come up with!

I’m a big fan of dresses that can be dressed up or down.  This one I snagged in a  jewel tone green and it is precious paired with these sandals. The dress and sandals are both on sale for $15 right now, so act fast! This hooded pullover is everything for the busy mom on the go.  I have it in teal and wear it at least once a week with some joggers.  Big surprise, I am wearing it right now as I type this! T-shirts, drawstring shorts and comfy slip-ons finish out my list! How cute is this flutter sleeve top?

So, what are you wearing this season?

Spring Kid Style

Spring is in full swing here in Texas! There have been plenty of rain puddles to jump in balanced by warm sun shiny days.  Allergies aside, we are loving the cool mornings and warm afternoons.  Dressing in layers has been the perfect way to plan for these Texas spring days.  Here are our favorite wardrobe staples this spring.

My sweet mother in law took Hallie and I shopping over the weekend, and got her this adorable denim jacket! Hallie and I are both obsessed with it and she has been sporting it with every dress she owns.  Speaking of dresses, the little striped dress is on sale now!  The polka dot swing dress from June and January is a perfect dress to transition from Spring to Summer. You can get 20% off your first order with June and January if you follow this link!

Hunter boots and adorable sunnies are perfect Spring staples, and these precious Toms Mary Jane’s are also on sale!

What are your Spring Must Haves?

 

Currently April

If April showers bring May flowers, then May in DFW is sure to be beautiful! It has been a very rainy spring so far, but Hallie is loving it! Her new favorite thing to do is jump in puddles! Spring sure is flying by though, and we are getting pumped for Summer vacation! It will be nice to have my baby girl home with me all Summer long before sending her back to school for her FINAL (HOW?) year of Pre-K! Besides jumping in puddles and watching the calendar pages fly, here’s what we have been up to!

READING:

I have been writing a lot more than reading lately. If you missed it, I started writing monthly posts for the Dallas Moms Blog.  Here’s my latest article about “Threenagers” and how I am “The worst Mom in the world!”Check it out!

I do however have an AWESOME kids book to share with you! Bertie and Blue– a tale about a giraffe who lives a humdrum life.  Then he meets a new friend who  looks different than him and teaches him to accept things and people who are new and different.  

WATCHING:

Christopher and I are binge watching Quantico on Netflix, and I am currently catching up on season 6 of New Girl!

EATING:

Did you catch my Caprese Chicken recipe on Pinterest? It is so delish!

WORKING ON:

The Birthday Prep continues! Are you following my Instagram Stories? I like to share all the details on party prep there! I also have the honor of throwing my dear friend Sindi her baby shower at the end of June, so I am just starting work on that as well!

LOOKING FORWARD TO:

My best friend Joyce is having a birthday next week! I always enjoy celebrating with her, then of course, my birthday is right behind her.  Here is a cute photo from our birthdays last year! And a link to our cake smash photo shoot. Can’t believe we will be 31! #oldladystatus

Flower Girl

Our family welcomed a new member this weekend. My Dad married the love of his life. Linda, his new bride, is just about the sweetest woman I have ever met, and is such a blessing to our family. Hallie was the flower girl, and did such a great job throwing flowers down the aisle!  She looked darling and had so much fun!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the very special day.

Hallie is going to be a pro Flower Girl by the end of the year! She has already booked another gig for November, and just can’t wait! And if you are in need of any “Flower Girl Tips”- The best advice I can give is to let them practice.  Hallie walked down a pretend aisle at our house for months throwing fake flower petals, and she nailed it!
