Pockets on Dresses

One of my favorite things is pockets on dresses.  I have several and love them!  It almost makes the dress feel a little more casual and comfy when added.  This morning my 3 year old daughter insisted that I wear a dress because she was :)  I love that she insist we match the type of clothing that we are wearing - she doesn't do it all the time so when she does it makes my heart happy.

Since this dress is sleeveless and I'm in the office I added a black blazer and black pumps to complete the look.  I've had this dress in rotation since before I had children and it has always been a favorite.  I love the neutral colors with the pop of bright pink.

Dress: Old    Blazer: Old (Similar)  Shoes

Other Options:

I realize that all of the above dress are from JCPenney but that is where I got my dress and they have a great collection of dress for any and all occasions.

The blazer is a great option for those more relaxed days.  It has the lines and features of a traditional blazer but is a little more laid back and less structured than a traditional blazer.  I have a traditional blazer in my wardrobe but tend to save it for more high function events and wear the cotton version for day to day activities in the office.

The shoes again are from Target!  I needed a quick fix before starting the new position this summer since I had been working from home and these have carried me through wonderfully.  They are comfortable yet look the part for the office for a fraction of the price of others.

I picked up a great new shade from Essie this week: Mint Candy Apple.  It is a gorgeous color that is more blue than mint but is still beautiful for those of us dreaming of spring and summer.  Here in Texas, the last few days have been feeling much more like early summer and have left me crazing brights and pastels.  And what better way is there to have a little summer than with a new nail polish?!

Finished Chalkboard

So I am delayed in getting this posted but the chalkboard was a huge success and the kids were thrilled!  They have played on it a lot and have even invited their friends over to color on the chalkboard with them. So after I applied the layers of chalkboard paint and let them dry, I took a piece of chalk and laid it on its side and "colored" the chalkboard with it.  You are doing this according to the directions to help prime the surface for use. After you color it and let it chill, you then take a damp rag and wipe it off.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Well, it is!  I was nervous about  it not working because I may have some how missed a step along the way...I even googled the directions just in case!! I also added a really cute and perfectly, imperfect burlap boarder to the chalkboard.  I had initially planned out creating a wood boarder for it and painting it to match the colors from the playroom pillows but ultimately decided against it...

Summer Time Old Navy Favorites

Although it should be warm, humid and sunny in south Texas we are currently being drenched in rain for the millionth time.  The last few weeks have been full of rain showers and thunder storms.  Every once in a while the rain will disappear for the afternoon leaving a very muggy and humid afternoon behind.  Other days, the rain makes a lovely afternoon appearance and gets heavier into the evening. With that said, it is mid-May and summer is top of mind when I'm not dreaming of being home cuddled up on the couch with a cup of coffee (read....Starbucks mocha!) :) Here are a few items that I cannot wait to add to my rotation from Old Navy.  1. Hat 2. Sleeveless tank 3. Chiffon Tank 4. Cami Fit & Flare 5. Heeled Sandals

Meet Elliot

So this is our newest family member, Elliot!  He came to his new forever home with us on December 24, 2015 and life has been a little more crazy since :) The above are just a few of the wonderful pictures I have currently of him on my phone.  As you can see, he fits in very nicely to our family and we wouldn't have it any other way. He has made himself comfortable on every piece of living room furniture for long naps and cuddles.  He has tested out the level of comfort of every bed upstairs and downstairs.  He has even joined the girls for dress up time as the lovely Queen Elsa. He has even fulfilled the role of my running buddy for those morning runs that I have a love/hate relationship with.  He is a bit like me if it is really cold in the morning - he would rather come back inside and snuggle on the couch until the kids wake up and its time to get ready for the day. He has also filled the important role of protector even though he...
