Glasses Love

Yesterday's post resulted in the best ego boost I have had in years.  Thanks ladies!  Since my glasses proved to be so popular I thought I'd share a link.

They are the Dolce & Gabbana 3056-B style and can be found here.  They are the green spotted style but I'm not sure why because the frames are brown and the sides are much more gold with some leopard and zebra thrown in than green.

Back to School

I never did share Sage's back to school photos here.  It's a big change in our routine this year.  Adding a baby brother to the morning mix, going everyday instead of every other day and living a lot further out of town in this rental house of ours.  Poor girl is on the bus for almost an hour each way :(

Doesn't make her any less excited about going back though!  I have no idea how Geoff and I ended up with a kid that loves school as much as she does....she's upset when vacation time rolls around!

Here she is in her head to toe H&M outfit..she insisted on the hat!

Some Friday Etsy Love

Isn't this Amy Butler clutch just gorgeous?



And these headbands?

And this clutch with hidden diaper wipes pocket?

I am seriously lusting after all of them.  Check them out at the wonderful Foster Kade Designs.  All proceeds from her sales go towards bringing their adopted baby girl home from China.  Look pretty and feel great about doing it!  Also check out Ashley Ann today who is sponsoring a giveaway for Foster Kade's etsy shop.

A Comedy of Errors

That really is the only way that I can describe what this whole process has been like.  Without getting all worked up and put in danger of losing my mind that is.  We FINALLY get the list of our damaged contents from the restoration company and I start to notice something odd as I'm reviewing it.  I look it over again.  Nope, not just me.  All of our appliances, all of the furniture from upstairs and all of the kid's toys weren't on the list.  How on earth did they manage to forget those??  Yet one more hassle to get straightened out.  Nevermind the fact that the house was supposed to be torn down last week and when I called the insurance adjuster to find out what was going on his voicemail said he was off on vacation all week!  Needless to say we will be switching companies the second this mess is done with.  A shame really because my husband has used them for all of his needs for almost 20 years now.

And totally unrelated but too cute not to share.  She was so excited to wear skinny jeans for the first time.  She kept asking me what they were called cause they're more like a legging than a jean so I told her all the big girl's were calling them jeggings now.  Didn't believe me.

An Indulgence

I have been wanting a Coach purse for the longest time now. But as a stay at home mother who already has a scrapbooking supply obsession it wasn't something I felt I could justify buying for myself. Then a couple months ago, guess what opened up only 30 minutes from my house. A Coach outlet. When I saw the sign I screamed so loud in the car that Geoff almost got us into an accident. You have no idea how disappointed I was when the store finally opened and they had almost no purses from the real stores..just ones that looked as if they had been specifically made for the outlet.


On Saturday I was in the area so I figured I'd go in again..this would be my 3rd visit and I didn't really have high hopes. Sage and I walked into the store and walked straight to the back where the keep the few purses that come in from the real Coach stores. I spotted this one right away, picked it up and walked right to the cash register. Totally unlike me...for the last few years I debate every purchase I make for myself..and I usually end up talking myself out of it. Not this time. It was such an amazing deal..now I just have to get Geoff to see it in the same way!




Isn't she beautiful?
