Casual Friday

Oh how I love casual Fridays at work.  Wearing jeans and being able to feel a little more comfortable than in my normal work attire - although that is changing :)

                Target: Scarf (Similar), Tommy Hilfiger Outlet: Sweater - Old (Similar), JCPenney: Jeans, Shoes - Old (Similar) 

One of my favorite stores to shop at is JCPenney.  You will see entire outfits - top to bottom - and everything is from JCPenney.  I grew up shopping there and am always surprised by the items that I can find at great price points.  

With that said, I also shop at other store but being a mother of 3 young children, I am very careful about how much I spend and how often I spend it.

The jeans I am wearing in the picture are going on two years old but still look, feel and fit great!   And you can see that they didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

The navy sweater is from the Tommy Hilfiger Outlet store in Branson, MO.  The hubby and I picked it up long before we were marred - we just celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary last week.  Again, I don't spend a lot of money on just one item but I keep things for longer than I probably should.  Although, when does a neutral colored, cable knit ever go out of style?!

I picked up the fabulous shoes last winter on sale from JCP and have been regretting that I didn't also grab them in black while I had the chance.  One of my all time favorite purchases.

The scarf was purchased this summer from the local target on a whim because I didn't have any fun, and floral scarves in my collection.  I have worn this thing like crazy and love how it goes with everything thanks to the beautiful colors.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is off to a great Monday!

Popsicle Recipe

Happy Friday - the 13th - everyone!! Here's to a great Friday and a great weekend for all of us :) We have a low key weekend planned for ourselves - haircut, pool time and a run for this momma. I'm sure the hubby and I will get to the gym as well and get in at least one workout over the weekend.  Then we have our littlest ones birthday on Monday.  She'll be FIVE?!!!  How did that even happen? Anyway, one thing we are hoping to get planned this weekend is making our own popsicles because we all have a little sweet tooth.  If you want to make your own here's a quick little recipe below. If you need the Hydate - you can find it here .

Training....

Hey y'all!  Summer is officially over and all of the kids are in school!!!  Oh my gosh, no more daycare!!  It's a strange place to be since we've always had at least one or all 3 in daycare for the last (almost) 9 years.... Training..... We are training the kids and have been training the kids to only eat at the kitchen table.  And to leave all electronics somewhere else besides the kitchen table.  Training can be an odd word when used in relation to kids but it's so accurate.  Kids are trained in what to do and how to behave.  No they aren't animals, but they learn by being trained and watching the adults in their lives.  In the past, we've been a little lax and let the kids eat in the living room and occasionally have food in the playroom.  But we've had carpet installed upstairs and we've very recently purchased new living room furniture.  So what better time to train the kids and our selves to only eat at the new kitchen tabl...

Cooler Weather

It appears that I got my wish for cooler temps in Texas.  Even in Houston, it has been fall-like temps thanks to the rain and a nice chill in the air. I am gearing up for a shopping trip and have several items in mind.  Most of the things in mind are for work since that I is were I spend the majority of my time.  My office gets very, very cold in the "winter" months to the point that I am in need of a blanket. I have a sweater that is permanently attached to my chair if I am not wearing it :)  I am also looking at adding a nice warm scent to my office thanks to either a Glade or similar plug-in.  I have discovered that the traditional fall/warm scents have changed a bit since last year and I am having a hard time deciding which I will get.  Another item I will be adding to my office is a shrug or shawl of some variety for the times/days that I am not in sweater mode. And of course, plenty of Starbucks Via Instant Mochas and some random cooki...
