Photo Ready

I admit it. I am one of those super irritating moms that picks out coordinating outfits for their family members, makes them trudge out into the local park, in the snow, take off their warm winter coats and pose while I set up the camera and take a few dozen shots.

Fly Me to the Moon

I do love a good graphic tee - but I don't wear one very often. Honestly, I find I'm drawn to solid brights, a funky pattern or even just a neutral (hello - how many black tee-shirts does one girl need?). But a couple of years ago we were in Florida on a family vacation and visited Kennedy Space station - and when I saw this tee, I had. to. have. it.

It's the Endgame

Okay - I'm saying it up front - there are NO spoilers in this post.

What Mama Wants

I've posted this tee-tunic on my Instagram before - and it meets one of my many "wants" when it comes to clothing: comfort while still stylish.

Leg(ging)s for days

Oh my goodness, #momlife, am I right?

Sometimes I feel like I live in leggings. There are days when getting up and putting on PANTS is just too exhausting to think about, lol.

Navy Neutral

Apparently Mother Nature did not get the notice that it is officially Spring. Because it was -3' C this morning and then it snowed all afternoon!

Spring Floral

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. Ours was filled with family and church services and love and laughter. Oh, and food. So. Much. Food.

Agent Carter?

Do you watch Marvel's Agent Carter? Admittedly, I became interested in it because of my boys and their obsession with all things "super" but I am hooked on the Agent Carter tv show. Peggy Carter is just so. darn. cool.

Fringe-tastic

Fringe, fringe, fringe!

Prep

I have to admit - even though this outfit sort of screams "Prep School" I still love it.

Family Photo Fest

Back at the beginning of November my family got together at one of the local parks and met with a very talented young photographer, Ashley Topping, to have some family photos done. The last time we did this as a large group my littl'un was just a baby - and he's now 5, so we were certainly due for an update. My sisters and I all split on the cost of the session with Ashley (which was incredibly reasonably priced, I might add) and gave the photo session to our parents as a birthday gift - their birthdays are only 5 days apart.

Leggings for Days

If I have a fall Mom-iform (that's mom uniform for the uninitiated) it's leggings and a tunic. Seriously - it doesn't get much easier than pulling on some good leggings and a nice tunic and just taking the day head on.

Plaid Pencil

This asymmetric plaid skirt is a new addition to my wardrobe and it's so perfectly "fall" and will transition well into the winter months.

 

Fall Prints and Leggings

I love wearing prints, but every now and again we swing back towards this trend of teeny tiny all over prints - and I'm sorry - but I just can't wear it.

Fashion Inspiration

It won't likely come as a surprise to you to find that I read quite a few different fashion and personal style blogs each day.

Vacation Imagination

I had never intended to wear these shorts and this top together. I packed them to wear with separate items and then they ended up together...

Date Night

As you know, Wednesday was my 9th wedding anniversary with the hubs. My mom kindly consented to watch our kiddos and we had a nice dinner out.

Flower Power

My littlest is majorly super-hero obsessed (actually so is my biggest, but hey - they're boys) and pretty much everything these days is a "power" this or a "power" that. For example: "Mommy - these are my power shoes - they make me go super-fast!" or "Mommy - is that necklace you're wearing a power-necklace?" etc etc

Professional Get-up

Every now and again I actually use my University degree.

Complimentary

There's just something about using complimentary colours in an outfit. Nothing quite speaks to my psyche like rich complimentary colours.
