Currently

It's always hard to just start when you've stepped away for a bit.  So I thought I'd just share some of what is happening currently.  I am currently...

Sitting outside on the back deck, sipping on some fruit punch rehydrate and banging out this little blog post.  My fingers just needed to feel the keys under them and share what's on my heart, in my mind and what I've been up to.  I started that Mary Kay Andrews book last night, as I need a lighthearted beach read to just ease my mind a bit, with all that's been happening.

Cooking- I made this yummy and easy pasta dish the other week.  I just sliced up summer squash/zucchini, cooked in on a grill pain with a little extra virgin olive oil & this TS spice.  I sprinkled parm cheese at the end.  I boiled the pasta and then tossed it all together in the grill pan. So good!

Drinking- Iced chai soy lattes.  My jam!

Enjoying a little day date with my girl! We went to Wegmans and the Farmer's Market.  It was so nice to give her my undivided attention.

LOVING this hot Summer weather.  I don't remember having such great weather for so often and I am not taking any of it for granted!

Grateful for my mom staying with us; even under these conditions, it has enabled Joe and I so many little opportunities to spend some one on one time.  This was a day where we went out to lunch!

Getting all sorts of determination lately.  I feel like 'the next big thing' for us is around the corner. We just keep surrounding ourselves with positive people and those who truly 'get us' and it's really making for a beautiful life.

Feeling so blessed to these curly haired babes.  So many times I just find myself sitting and staring; watching them be siblings.  They bicker, of course, but when they're sweet and nice?  Melts my mama heart big time.

Amazed by this sunset at our land; how perfect will this view be?

Adoring this brand new tote that launched today in KEEP!  {Shop my mystery hostess social & enter to win rewards!}

Obsessing over these two necklaces combined to create a festive look for the 4th! {Tulum & Bliss}

What are you currently up to?

Happy Things

I'm really trying to focus on all of the positives, not that I don't always, but even more so right now.

 I have my first in home social for KEEP on Friday, as long as things are staying the same... I'm excited to chat with some new ladies and spread some positivity.  I just love that new key fob in the stripes/coral--it may be on its way to me as we type. ;)

Saturday was so hot and sunny, I made sure to clean the deck off and enjoy it a bit. 

It honestly felt really good to do my makeup and try to feel normal around here.

I call this our little oasis and tough I didn't get much planted, a few pops of color are really nice to see. My sister brought my mom back and we all sat outside for awhile and the kids played in the water table and we had a nice time, for what we're going through and all.

Sunday I brought the kids up to see Daddy briefly at the tent sale--the clown was there and they enjoyed seeing her.  Brooke wanted to be a doggy, imagine that! She loved it.

My Club W/ Winc arrived this morning!! I'm super impressed with all of the wine I've tried.  I hear the rosé is really good so that may be one of the firsts I open!  If you'd like to try a free $13 bottle, use this link and if you order 4 bottles, shipping is free! I think the prices are perfect for the types of wine they send. You can skip a month, but I'm not really sure why you'd want to. Haha

The sun is shining and we're just taking things one day at a time.  I think I need to go read some more of my book that has been neglected these last few weeks.   Have a good day!

Fashion Friday: Toronto Edition

TGIF Loves!!

One of my favorite things about vacationing is trying to not look like a tourist! haha No really, I love accessorizing and planning my outfits, but I fully admit it's hard to do on the day to day with two little itty bitties.  Since it was just hubs and I away, I had lots of time to play!


I picked out my Old Navy Pixie Pants (two years ago, I bought them and then got prego!) and a black/white striped Target top I just bought last month.

I went with my MK watch and my chandelier earrings & SD ring.

I brought my lightweight animal print scarf (Marshalls) just in case it was chilly.

Since I figured we'd be doing a lot of walking, I wore my Coach tennis shoes.

My first purchase of the weekend was this beauty! I loved the style, color & price point! {$60}

That night for dinner I used my new bag, wore the Riveria SD necklace and my black swing dress from ON and black lularo leggings and Target sandals.

Saturday morning we wanted to do some shopping and it was a tad cooler, so I opted for my 3/4 length black and white top and a hot pink scarf and black skinnies with holes in the knees---which seemed to be THE pair of jeans everyone was rocking that weekend! I highly suggest you get a pair! {similar here}

I love the turning point key on the horizontal pendant.

My Keep of the day overlooking the city!

I love the versatility of these Kaia earrings--keep them small or add on the chandelier!

All shopped out!

I picked up some new bralette halters from Pink and OMG I love them!! They add a little sexy to a plain tee or tank! Cute, comfy & supportive = winning!

I picked up this red Caftan dress from Express and wore it out to dinner Saturday night. I wore leggings too, since I wasn't sure how cold it would get and how much we'd walk.

I loved dressing it up a bit more with this gorgeous SD statement necklace. {Similar here}

Cheers!! xx

Fashion Friday

TGIF pretties!!

I cannot  believe Mother's Day is next weekend.
I'm all set with my gifts, how about you?!

These lovelies are so popular, the pink has sold old temporarily 

I gave my sister this look, with the striped time key--she loved it! 

As for S&D, any purchase made of $50 or more will get this adorable scarf for only $14.99

Onto my weekly looks--first of all, I needed a new cute pair of easy slip on sandals.  I saw these at Target and I believe they were around $23, which I think is very reasonable! I love the detail of the back zipper on the heel and the gold boho vibe.

I also snagged a few tees for $6, as I always need more shirts.  #momlife

Saturday night I ended up going with a sparkly red top and the white jeans.  Totally didn't get a good photo, but you get the idea.  It's so hard to get good photos, with the baby crying, babysitter trying to console him and us trying to get out the door without getting anything sticky on us!

Sunday I went with comfy jeans & a kimono for my sister's birthday party.

It wasn't an exceptionally fashionable week, I'll try better next week!
