A Fish of a Day & Link Up On the Edge #16
If yesterday were a fish, I would have thrown it back. Because it was a fish not worth keeping, that’s for certain. I really didn’t want it. But alas, I caught it and I was stuck with it. Do you ever have days like that? The day began in the normal way. I awoke at my normal time of 4:50 a.m., took a shower, put my pajamas back on, and headed downstairs for coffee. I generally get a good 1 1/2-2 hours of quiet coffee time in the morning before the kids are awake. I catch up a little bit on reading my favorite blogs and joining my favorite link…

Olive Utility Jacket & Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up
I am so honored to be co-hosting the Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up hosted by Rachel of Garay Treasures. I started following Rachel’s blog when I was still just in the contemplating stages of creating my own blog. I think what drew me to Rachel’s blog is her casual and affordable style which is perfectly suited to my stay-at-home-mom lifestyle. I also find Rachel very inspiring as she manages her household of four children along with writing her blog and remaining very active in her church community. I love that her husband is her photographer and style partner and he even makes frequent appearances on her blog showcasing…

Last Outfit of Summer & Link Up On the Edge #15
Today marks the Autumn Equinox or the first official day of Fall! And I couldn’t be more excited since I love all things Fall…the temperatures, the colors, football, pumpkin everything, hot apple cider, homemade soup and chili, the fireplace, and of course, the fashion. So as I say goodbye to summer (very gleefully, I might add), I thought I would share with you one last outfit of summer…which I wore yesterday…on the last official day of Summer. How beautiful is my friend/photographer Amy’s yard for photos? And she tells me it is totally breathtaking when the leaves really change color. So I am super excited to feature lots of my…

Transition and Edge of the Week Link Up #13
I have always considered myself a fairly adaptable person. I have moved a few times in my life and changed jobs abruptly and found myself in situations where most people would find the transition quite difficult. Yet, I usually adapted pretty quickly and got comfortable where I was at that point in time. However, a recent transition seems to be kind of rocking my world. And it is confusing me! My oldest child has started Kindergarten! And seriously, I am all out of sorts. Not really emotionally out of sorts. Just sort of all around out of sorts. Before school started, I was excited for the inevitable “more free time…

Camouflage Pants: Inspired Outfit #2 and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #12
This is my second camouflage post inspired by Sheela Writes, The World According to Eve, and Jodie’s Touch of Style from their camouflage collaboration. If you read my post last week, I styled a Camouflage Bandana. This week, in addition to being inspired by Sheela, Eve, and Jodie, I was also inspired by Karen of She Thought She Could So She Did. Karen styled a pink shirt with an olive skirt and I immediately thought I wanted to pair pink with my camo pants. At first I had coupled a bright pink tee similar in color to Karen’s top and I accessorized with black gladiator sandals and black accented jewelry.…

Camouflage Bandana: Inspired Outfit and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #11
As long as I can remember, I have been a fan of camouflage anything. Shirts, pants, bags, shoes. I even had camouflage curtains in my bedroom a few years back. But it seems over the past few years, my collection of camo items has dwindled to three: one pair of pants, a pair of blue camo Converse, and a bandana (that I only just found a few weeks ago tied to an old bag stuffed in the back of a closet). It seems either my camo items were just worn to death…I had a fabulous pair of knee high camo boots with buckles up the sides that I literally wore…

Army Banquet and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #10
This post is not just about a pretty dress. It’s more about a hot mess wearing a pretty dress! My husband was informed months and months ago that he had a formal in August…we call these events Army Proms. So way back in March, I went shopping for my prom dress. Just to get ahead of things as I have never been prepared for these formal events more than a week in advance! The one time 6 years ago that I was prepared, I went and got pregnant and the dress I had bought fit until the weekend before the event. At which time, I had to go in search…

An Outfit, A Watch, A Movie, and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #9
First, I want to let you all know that this is my 99th blog post! I have something special in mind for my 100th post coming up early next week. And also another special post the following week to celebrate my 1 year blogiversary! So please be sure to check back and see what I have planned! Now on to this post… Tuesday night, I escaped all parenting duties and headed to dinner and movie with my friend Aimee. I went for super comfortable in my very distressed and faded boyfriend jeans, a boxy tee, footbed sandals, and a lightweight sweater around my waist in case the movie theater was…

Boho Betty and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #8
If you read my last post, you will already know that I am super excited about my new venture as a Boho Betty brand rep! I received my first order of the the Foxglove Gold Studded Wrap Bracelet and the Wutu Faux Suede Wrap Bracelet (which unfortunately is no longer available). I am thrilled to say that these bracelets are even better than I expected! The vegan leather on these bracelets is so super soft against my skin creating a very comfortable fit. The Foxglove Wrap Bracelet has two snaps as closure for different sizes and the Wutu Wrap Bracelet has a magnetic closure making it so simple to put…
