Fashion Friday {Working Girl}

I am here reporting on this lovely Friday a little late in the day. I've had a very, very busy week. I'm just glad I made it through. We got the call on Monday afternoon that little man got into Preschool. So we rushed around to find him last minute supplies so he was ready to start on Tuesday. I finally had an answer to what my life was going to look like. Except I still had no idea what was coming my way. I was having my mixed emotions about the new normal and potentially being home alone with no kids. I however got thrown into a very crazy schedule. 

I had been in talks with my friend who owns a boutique downtown. I honestly thought it wasn't going to work out because of my not so open schedule. The shifts would've worked but the travel time would not. Luckily she was willing to work with me. I immediately scheduled an interview just a mere three hours after I dropped both kids off at school. I had a little alone time and went shopping and then downtown. 

Then this girl who has not worked an actual job in 10-11 years got hired on the spot. The rest of the week has been crazy. Training, learning how to multi-task again, car line. Now it's Friday and I'm ready to for the weekend break with my kids. I might stay in on the couch for a good long while. But we'll see skies the limit. 

I'm really excited for some new things I got coming your way. 

I'm going to have a focus on some home decor soon. So keep an eye on what's to come! 

Fashion Friday {This is me}

It's September! Which is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month! Some of you might already know I am a Thyroid cancer survivor. I am going on 9 years cancer free! That's crazy to think about! 

You can read about my story and how you can self check yourself here 

It is so important to be educated on these things. I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. If it wasn't for my Grandma pointing out a large nodule on my neck. I literally thought it was my adams apple. NO ONE ever corrected me! I know crazy right!? Please check yourself all the time and spread the word!

Happy Friday!

Fashion Friday A hipster summer

 I'm getting kind of used to these summer thunderstorms. It's a nice break from this unbearable Georgia heat! You think I could deal having grown up in the California desert. But the south is an entirely different world. 

Sometimes in the summer I get into this rut. You know that feeling of needing a vacation from your vacation. Well it's kind of like that except I want something to do. I want to be busy again. Maybe its the cabin fever talking, the lack of social interaction {except for with children}. I've resulted in fake and sometimes fake drama on tv just to keep me company. It's really hard thinking of running off somewhere with the kids with the hubby. Any mom can relate that vacation with your kids is more work then staying at home. I have to physically, mentally and emotionally prepare myself for certain outings. 

Let's take the movies for instance. My three year old does NOT do the movies very well. 

He can't sit still. The only way to keep him contained is if I keep feeding him snacks. Mental noted sugar free snacks or feed him food and playtime before movies. Maybe that will tire him out beforehand. 

Doing arts and crafts

He has the attention span of well a three year old. Or like the dog from Up.. you know saying squirrel in the middle of everything. Yeah! That's my kid for sure. So I end up setting up and cleaning up in under 20 minutes most of the time. 

Any kind of water park/theme park/carnival is out unless I rope someone into helping me. Having an age gap between kids is rough in these cases because the older one wants to ride things the younger one can't.

What's left you ask? 

The pool. 

Yep that's the only thing they both like to do that also allows me a mental break. 

So unless you all have some other suggestions for me. 

I guess we will be at the pool for the next 6 weeks!

See you there!

Fashion Friday { Summer Rain}

 It's Friday and I survived another week of summer! Hallelujah! We went to the library to get on the summer reading program. We did the dollar movie theater, bible study, YMCA, swimming, and the slip n slide! We've been fighting the summer rain storms almost all week. So that's been a challenge. But I have confidence that we can make it through! How has your summer been? What summer activities have you been doing to entertain your kids?

Fashion Friday

It's been such a long week. Between car issues, sick kids, working and taking care of the house. It's been nuts trying to keep up with everything. The beginning of the week was really exciting though. I finally signed a deal with a couple music producers that are going to take me to the next step in my music career. I'm just beyond excited to just be able to record my own music in a recording studio. My songs are like my babies they are an extension of me. I can't wait to share them with the all of you.

Fashion Friday

 I love this kimono! I love the color of this Kimono. I don't know if you've noticed but Target has been stepping it up in the fashion department lately. I love a lot of the stuff that they've been putting out. When I saw this I had to snatch it up quickly before it was gone. They also have it in white and right now they are buy one get one half off right now. Pretty good deal if you want to grab both colors which is what I did. 

We made it through the first week of school and all went well. It's looking to be a good year. We might just do a back to school fashion series of all Riley's cute back to school outfits. 

Happy Friday everyone!

I've still got summer on the brain. I've been in constant vacation mode. But school starts back up again in a few weeks and I will have to get back to that routine. As I'm writing this I'm already ready for a nap. I gotta get out of this house! Does anyone else get like this. I'm also wishing I was in California at Comic-con.. I've never been but so many of my fave shows are doing panels there. Maybe one year I can cross it off my bucket list. Has anyone else been?

Fashion Friday

It's been such a whirlwind the last couple weeks. I'm finally home after a crazy week in Dallas and then a crazy week in Orlando. Then I finished it off with some laziness this last week until the hubby went back to work. Then I have to play catch up before I get more summer. I plan on blogging about all that next week because it's a lot of stuff to sift through for it. Lot of exciting things. 

In the mean time it's Friday and you know what that means. It's been so hot here that I can hardly stand being outside for too long. My makeup will just melt off my face, my hair gets poofy and frizzy. I'm seriously contemplating doing my pictures inside until the summer is over. I'm just thankful for air conditioning! How are you surviving the summer?
