PTO.

Last week I got to go on not one but two date nights with my husband. I took the entire week off! It was just what the doctor ordered. Uninterrupted conversation, some good food and lots of laughs. Parents needs this once in awhile.

That and a break from the holiday madness and year end pressure.

Happy Halloween!

Morning friends! Ironic that just yesterday I wrong about "doing it all" and today's post is just now going live. Oy. #bloggerproblems.

Today I'm sharing a few snaps from our backyard Halloween party last weekend. We invited all of our friends, kids or sans kids, to soak up the 70 degree weather and basically...eat a lot of crap food. Pretty much a perfect day for me but we'll table my junk food addictions for another day. 

Enjoy and Happy Halloween to you! Be Safe!

On content and change...

I've had multiple conversations as of late regarding my blog rebrand and content shift. Seems only fitting I discuss the reasons why I focus more on fashion and less on family these days. Maybe you're not one to notice or care all that much but it's been weighing on my brain and let's face it...there's only so much that fits up there these days! 

It all started with a conversation I had with a local blogger momma about featuring our kiddos. Since then it's been reinforced by a couple other moms I respect and some of my peers in the industry. Let's just say this was an "aha" moment for me.

School munchkins.

I didn't have a post prepared for today. It's sitting in my camera. Instead, I chose to read books with Olivia and snuggle with her in bed last night. We were both tired and snuggling just seemed so much cozier vs logging onto my computer. 

Turns out it was time well spent with my wiggle worm. My munchkins started preschool this month. They are growing at lightening speed it seems.

Lola's 2nd Birthday

Sunday was Lola's big 2nd birthday. It was only yesterday that I was doing squats in my family room trying to calm a colicky baby. Thank goodness that passed! Looking at her now, she's a bright, very active, talkative toddler who mirrors her sister's every move. It's been fun to watch her grow. (and it's a whole lot easier to communicate with her these days, too!)
