Little Lady

I hope you guys has a fantastic weekend.  Ours was good.  For the next two weeks I will be in party planning mode.  Peyton's birthday party is Sunday and Mister's party is next Friday.  Please pray for me!  In the meantime, Peyton looked like a little Jackie O in this beautiful floral gingham dress I found at JCP. 

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Denim Shorts

Happy Mamanista Friday!  I'm looking forward to a pretty low key weekend just working on Peyton's and Mister's birthday parties.  This week for Mamanista Fridays, Mama Fashion Files and I are rocking shorts.  I hear a lot of women over 30 say they can't wear shorts.  That's a lie!  Other than booty shorts, we got this!

Master Makeover with Wayfair Daily Sales

I've been making over several areas in my house but my bedroom is a HOT mess!  Our master bedroom is 40% sleeping, 20% dining room, 20% laundry room, 20% shoes and clothes, and 100% Peyton's!  This child take her little wagons and shopping carts, and fill them with toys and roll them into our room to unload.  Just as much as our room needs a good cleaning we need to bring some sexy back and give Peyton the boot!  I signed of for Wayfair Daily Sales alerts to keep up with the best deals for decorating my home.  Little by little, I plan to give our hodgepodge of a master bedroom a mini makeover using Wayfair Daily Sales.

The Diet Diaries: Workouts + Change of Plans

Slight change of plans.  I've been going hard working out and eating right for the last two weeks.  I waited till Friday morning to get on the scale.  I was 3 pounds heavier.  I was devastated and immediately went to pick up a chicken biscuit and hash browns.  I was upset all day.  Everyone I shared this devastating news with would tell me “It’s because you’re gaining muscle, just stick with it”.  BS!  I've totally changed how I was eating, cooking every day (I hate) and working out 4 times a week.  Last thing I need to be doing is gaining.  I might as well have sat home eating French fries.   I was in a dark place.  I felt like I had wasted two weeks.  I was sure I would be down 3-5 pounds by now, instead I’m going up.  Even though I didn't want to hear my friends try to justify my weight gain, the fact that they cared enough to listen kept me encouraged.  Saturday, woke up in better spirits and decided to keep pressing forward.  I knew I had to make more changes.

The Beatles

I hope you all had a wonderful 1st weekend of summer!  Our summer is going to be pretty busy.  I have about 15 friends with birthdays to celebrate and that doesn't included Peyton and Misters.  Their birthdays are 5 days a part!  I'm going to be overwhelmed the next couple of weeks trying to get two parties together. Please pray for me!  In the mean time, check out Peyton in a look that we all can rock.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Tunics

I'm so ready for the weekend.  I had a rough and busy week.  This "dieting" has me singing the blues.  I'll share more next week in The Diet Diaries.  This week Mama Fashion Files and I are rocking my closet favorite, a tunic!

Mommy + Me in Calypso St. Barth

Peyton loves nothing more than to dress like her mommy (besides Elsa and Ana).  She calls herself a "fashion girl".  She get it from her mama!  So when the opportunity for us to dress a like, I oblige.  I was super geeked to receive matching tunics for Peyton and I from Calypso St. Barth.  I knew my fashion girl would love it.
