Black and White

It's link-up time over at EBEW and I loves me a link-up. I love seeing all the great inspiration out there! I am also getting excited for the Winter Edition of 21-day challenge over at Freckles in April. If you love to see great ladies linkin' up this is the place to be. Plus I love how it pushes me out of my fashion rut!

Life is Good

We had a fun opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl and cheer for our Oregon Ducks (who won) so we also decided so spend a few days in Disneyland. We had a blast and it was fun to squeeze in one more family memory before my son leaves on his mission.

I have been working a lot the past few weeks, we have a new computer system at work and it is making life a little bit hectic. I think we are all finally getting the hang of it. I haven't taken many outfit pictures because by the end of the day I am tired, and disheveled and I just want to get in my jammies. ASAP! But I did manage to snap these...

Birthday Boy

My favorite part of the Christmas season is my son's birthday. He is my oldest and I never fail to remember the Christmas we spent with our sweet baby who was only 4 days old. I have learned so much from him and being his mother is a true blessing to me. He just celebrated his 19th birthday and will be leaving in 5 short weeks to serve an LDS mission in Argentina. My heart is so full because I am so proud of this amazing person who is my child, but I will miss him more than words can say.

My Daughter informed me that my poses were boring and I needed to be more "model like". Here are the silly results of that photo shoot :)

It's Christmas Time!

I finally feel like I can get excited for Christmas! Gifts are bought, wrapped, handed out, shipped and ready to go under the tree. Plus we have had lots of Christmas treats being delivered from our friends and neighbors, yum! I decided to join in on more Christmas fun and wear one of my favorite Christmas-type sweaters and link up over at Statements in Fashion. Check it out because there are some seriously cute outfits goin on over there.

Saving

Sometimes I will put together an outfit for the day and then after seeing how cute it is I decide it is too cute for that day and I have to save it for a day that is more special. I think to myself, "I am only going to the grocery store today, and this outfit is way to cute for that." I don't know why, I guess I am afraid I will have an activity where I want to look great and I won't have anything great to wear. So, I save cute outfits for more important activities. I know, weird. Does any one else "save" their favorite outfits?

Sweater: Victoria's Secret, Jeans: Vanity, Boots: EBay, Scarf: AE, Earrings: Way old, can't remember :)

Sunday Stressing

For the past few weeks I have had a hard time deciding what I should wear to church. I try to put together a few outfits the night before, but no matter how confident I feel I have found the perfect outfit, I always spend way to much time changing clothes, shoes, skirts, jewelry etc. I usually end up wearing whatever I have on when time runs out and I have to leave. I don't like feeling like my outfit is thrown together, but for some reason I can't find the perfect combo on Sundays. I guess it's because I can't throw on my jeans to wear to church and I always feel good in my jeans. What do you do when you can't figure out your outfit? Do have standard favs you fall back on?

Dress: Chadwicks, Jacket:F21, Boots: Kohl's, Scarf: Old Navy

Hustle and Bustle

It seems like no matter how organized I am... I always have those last minute gifts to buy and wrap. I guess that is all part of the hustle and bustle of Christmas.

Some of my followers have requested bigger pictures, the only problem with that is now you can seem my goofy faces! Oh well, it is always good to laugh at yourself a little :)
