Happy Easter

Why do you seek the living among the dead? 
He is Risen!! 
Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross so that I could truly live!

Happy Easter, I pray you had a wonderful day.

What I AM wearing...like as I type this ha ha

floral shirt- Kohls
white cropped cardi- Kohls
pants- Target
necklace- old, never worn
earrings- old, probably Kohls









Do the earrings go with the necklace, I have never worn pearls (fake or real) and so I don't know if you have to wear both necklace and earrings the same or can mix it up?

Should I button the cardi or leave it open?

Followers??!!

When I first started this blog it was because I was addicted to reading other blogs and wanted to try my hand at it. I started with my bento lunches I pack for my daughter Sassy (5yrs), and then I wanted to also show off my family; Sassy, Cheeks (9 mos) and Babe (the hubz). I then found fashion blogs and wanted to start incorporating some of that in to the blog. I NEVER thought I would have followers! I mean, followers are for blogs that actually have something to say or are interesting or at the very least written by people that use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. So the fact that I have 6 followers is amazing, 1 is my Babe but he still counts.

I wanted to say Thank you for "following"me. This blog will be random, inconsistent, and full of errors but I am all of those things too, so it works. :)   I may once in awhile throw in a recipe, or a craft or a rambling or rant, so stay tuned- You never know what you may get. God Bless you all!!

Clean that mirror!!

Hello- Monday again!

We had a great weekend. My girls always get up early and the weekend is no exception. Cheeks woke up at 4:45 on Saturday, so I went into the living room with her and we went back to sleep on the couch about 5:30 and at 7:15 I hear "mommy, you are supposed to sleep in your bed!" . ha ha Sassy was up too. Daddy got up a little after that and joined us. Coffee please!! I decided to finally go through Cheeks' drawers and pull out everything she has outgrown, I believe we filled a hugr trash bag. My mom is the garage sale queen so luckily we have some "new" clothes she can wear. After I cleaned Cheeks' room it was onto Sassy's. I rearranged her furniture to give her more floor space to play and we tidied up a bit (still needs work) in between we had lunch and played and Cheeks napped on daddy. That afternoon we had professional family pictures to take, I was so excited about getting these done. I have never had pro pics take of the family so I couldn't wait to get them done. I had everyone color coordinated and me and the girls all had little cardigan/shrugs on. We got a few shots in and we were taking some of Cheeks by herself when she ate a leaf. We tried to get it out but she had already swallowed it, no biggie right? wrong! A few more pics later and the girl starts gagging and throws up all over herself and daddy!! theres the leaf... well, I was about to really be upset when the wonderful photographer (my friend) said "oh, photoshop can take that right out" Praise God! We were able to clean up and continue with pictures. Here are two ( a sneak peek)

 On Sunday we went to our church and then after the service we celebrated the church's 19th birthday with a fish fry it was great, later we napped and then just picked up the house and after that Sassy helped me make dinner athough while we ate she told me thank you for helping HER make dinner.                                        

ok onto What I wore these past few days

  This whole outfit is items that I have had forever, I really am not sure where any of it came from except the pants are from Sears and the belt came with a shirt from Melrose

The necklace is new and I LOVE it, its from Rue 21


Cardigan- Target
striped shirt- Wal-Mart
purple cami- Kohls
necklace- ???
pants- Sears



Cardigan- Target
leopard shirt- OLD no clue from where

the "cami" is actually kind of a bandeau type thing that I have two of and love, they don't add to much bulk under clothes but cover the cleavage- Cato

pants- Sears
Necklace- Lia Sophia

Misc Friday

First up: some of the food and drinks that I have been having this week since starting weight watchers-



This is a breakfast that I had two days this week
 yoplait yocrunch yogurt
banana
bagel thin with butter spray
and coffee




Lunch
sandwich thin with buddig turkey meat, lettuce and a little mayo (gotta have a little!)
WW cheese stick
V8 Vfusion
keebler townhouse flatbread crisps


I have done really well, drinking lots of water, writing down everything I put in my mouth, checking labels. I tried spaghetti squash for the first time ever and loved it so thats great, a new veggie to add to the list. I made some portobello parmigiana and  it was so good, my husband was not a fan- but he is so sweet he will eat whatever I cook! We will be going for pizza tonight because Sassy has gotten her "good behavior" sticker all week at school. I have adjusted my eating today so that I can have 2-3 slices of pizza (its a thin crust cheese pizza) and of course I will get the salad bar to help.

***if you want to know points values of anything I post just ask***

I have to share this pic- Sassy has a Barbie fashion kit that you press material in between the plastic top and the barbie form to make clothing. She loves it and has so much fun with making outfits, does me proud- here is one of her creations- I would wear it, would you?



and in cutie patootie news- Cheeks can now wave and say bye bye- its the cutest thing ever, we will get it on video so I can post it here.

Have a great day!

Sad Sad lunch


poor Sassy, this is what she ate yesterday- Actually she loved it, I think it is one of the saddest lunches I have made yet.

celery with peanut butter
chicken nuggets
orange flower with strawberry center
and a parfait yogurt cup
apple juice to drink


I need to find my inspiration somewhere to bento again. I was doing great and then got out of the habit. Hopefully better ones will come soon.

Stay tuned!
