Happy Halloween

because I sometimes feel lazy

"Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.”

I don't know who Steven Covey is but I think he's absolutely right on this one. If we don't make what we want out of ourselves... who's going to do it for us?

The Boy's Room

I know I know... I'm sorry it took so long.

The only thing is I have to put something over his changing table.

Most likely going to be a round mirror.

Could have written this post but I didn't...

Fall Style Guide

I got a funny text last week from my friend Emily who said "cleaning out my closet. wondering if capri pants are out of style?" I replied that I didn't really know for sure but I didn't think you could pull them off during winter really and PROBABLY  by next summer there would be a new style to which we'd all fall victim. Thus... she threw them out. Then she said I should post on the new fall trends and she'd follow my advice. I don't claim to know anything about fashion, I just read magazines and watch what the cool kids are wearing. I went over to InStyle.com and here's what I found...

We should all hurry out and purchase these top 5 must haves! I mean we really MUST

1. Print Dresses

2. Tailored Jackets (which I'm not posting photos of because they were ugly and I don't support it)

3. Fuller Skirts

4. Chunky Knits

5. Ruffled Blouses  (be careful on this one ladies-- we don't want to revisit 1995)

Em- I'll try to do a little more research on pants specifically but I hope this helps for now. So all you girls run on out to the mall and spend that money you know you should save to buy Christmas gifts!

I also promise to post nursery pics but I still had a couple of last minute things. It's like when I make a cake and someone comes and eats the batter. Makes me furious because that's my little art project and I don't want to share it until it's DONE!  Am I possibly the only human who doesn't relish eating cake batter... yes, most likely. Forgive me. Have a good Tuesday!

Yes, Mom it's still us!

UPDATE: I did not design this blog template. Didn't want anyone thinking I had any time on my hands. I downloaded it.

Just in case anyone got confused and thought they were in the wrong spot. DO NOT FEAR! I just got bored with the other template and changed it up. Added a little oomph if you will. (and I hope you will because life's more fun that way).

Originally I thought this blog would be posts from Chris AND me. BUT I've since learned that men think blogging is a total waste of time and energy. I feel bad for them really. They don't know what they're missing out on!! SO, I changed the layout to be a little more "me". I'm sure I'll change it again though once the baby arrives and I feel like it's too girly for him.

Happy Birthday

Want to send a birthday wish out for my Dad! Today is his big day and I hope it's wonderful! I love you Dad and I couldn't ask for more!! XOXO
