You Can Shine with Us

I hope you all had a great weekend!  It was way too short!  I planned on getting started on cleaning my closet but that didn't happen.  Peyton ended up having a last minute modeling gig on Saturday.  This baby is on fire!  I twisted her hair for the shoot so she rocked this rocker chic look while we did some running around.

Diet Diaries: 7 Day Low Carb Challenge

I know it's been a while since I've posted about my diet diaries but this is an EMERGENCY update.  I'm happy to report that I'm still working out at least 3 days a week.  My eating has been so-so.  I do good on Monday and Tuesday and crash and burn the rest of the week.  I was talking with a friend at work on Friday and we decided we would eat right for 7 days straight with no cheating.  We are going to ditch the bread, starch, sugar, candy, even wine!  I don't know if I'm going to submit to the wine part just yet.  That will be a long 7 days!  I posted on Instagram that I was doing this and a lot of you were down for the challenge as well so I knew I had to post something ASAP!

Mamanista Fridays: Leather

I mentioned earlier this week that I was planning on wearing a lot of black this season.  I'm kicking off my quest for this weeks Mamanista Friday leather style.  I'm also introducing you to my new "mom" bob.

New Arrivals: Love My Alannah Kid Accessories

Just as much as accessories make the outfit for us ladies, they do the same for kids.  LoveMyAlannah has been a godsend, keeping Peyton fly and fashion forward with all her accessories.  I wanted to share with some of LoveMyAlannah fly new arrivals for fall.

All Black Everything for Fall

Since I've started blogging and reading blogs, wearing all black has gotten a bad rap.  Everyone one talks about adding pops of color and mixing patterns.  Myself included.  But black and gray are my favorite colors.  I've never been a "pink" girl.  I guess that is why Peyton doesn't wear a lot of color.  I buy what ever color looks best on me and that's usually black.  We all know that black is slimming!  I need all the "slimming" I can get.  I decided to embrace my love for black this fall and rock all Black when I feel like it.  Here are some awesome all black pieces that I have my eye on for this fall. 

Fall FabKids

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  Mine was pretty business.  I hosted a blogger brunch on Saturday with Lexi with the Curls and that turned out AWESOME!  I got home early Saturday evening to find that Peyton had a fever.  She was still playing and acting like nothing was wrong.  She had a fever on Thursday so I stayed home with her and she was fine Friday.  Saturday evening, we decided to take her to urgent care.  We got some meds and no more fever.  Peyton is a solider, so she'll be back to 100% in no time!  

Did you know that their are trends fashion trends in pre-K?  The current trend in Peyton's class is tutus and dresses....EVERYDAY.  FabKids has us covered with their new fall collection full of dresses with legging and skirts! 

Mamanista Fridays: Stripes

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Fall is almost here! Temps are dropping and I'm ready!  I say that now, but will be crying when the temps get in the teens.  This week for Mamanista Friday, Aracely and I kept it simple with stripes.  After getting a bad wrap from women over a size 2, stripes have made a comeback.
