Random Wednesday!

 
I am linking up with Shanna today!
 
This is truly going to be a  VERY random post.
 
This morning started out just about like every other morning in our house. We rushed out the door like we always do (Channing and I) and headed to drop her off at school. About 10 minutes into the drive she started saying 'my tummy hurts', so I asked her if she needed to go potty. She said yes and I told her if she could hold it I would take her at school. We had JUST exited the highway to head towards the school and all hell broke loose. SICK everywhere... and I mean EVERYWHERE!
 
I will spare the deets but long story short we headed back home. Chandler was able to work from home today so he came home to take care of Channing so I could head into work to get some things done. WOW, didn't expect that on a Wednesday morning... a Monday maybe but not today... Just goes to show you that motherhood really is a true adventure every day HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
 
side note... Channing is sleeping and seems to be feeling better. WHEW!
 
 
 
 
Channing has been doing this thing she calls being a 'spider' and she sticks her two fingers out like this and usually does some funny pose. I think she is acting like they are the spider legs... who knows really but it is FUNNY! I asked her to do it in the bath last night so I could take a pitcure and this is what I got haha.
 
 
When we went to Houston last week we were able to meet up with my cousin and her kiddos and her SIL and her twins. It was so much fun and the park was amazing for the kids! SO much to do and Channing could do most of it on her own!
 
 
We've had some cool weather here lately (thank you Lord)  and this was Channing on Monday morning all bundled up!
 
 
Back to the Houston park... sliding with cousin Zachary
 
 
 
Sleeping baby on the way home from Houston... this was right after a full on meltdown at the restaurant we ate brunch at... it even impressed me. This was sweet quiet time!
 
 
 
New Starby's cup! Keeps my coffee hot ALL the way to work.
 
 
Channing wanted my friend Danielle (who we stayed with in Houston) to play 'hide and seek' with her... in this picture she was 'hiding' in FRONT of the grill... but you know how it goes... if I can't see them I bet they can't see me hahaha!
 
 
I am a little TOO excited about my new phone case. Ordered this puppy on eBay! LOVE IT!
 
 
 
This is today's outfit #2 after this mornings happenings.
 
 
I took this 'selfie' yesterday afternoon and I thought it turned out cool... but then I thought I looked mad which I wasn't at all... oh well.
 
 
Me and Channy Lou after school yesterday! Like mother like daughter!
 
 
 
Danielle and I went out sans kid for lunch in Houston... it was delightful
 
 
More park time with sweet cousins!
 
 
Sweet love with my Channing
 
 
EARLY morning play time
 
 
Silly girls
 
 
And last but not least... my current read.

Oh. My. Goodness

 
OMG I just had a friend ask if I ever blogged anymore. I don't know why but this week has felt CRAZY. There has been a lot of stuff going on. Just busy stuff.
 
One important MAJOR thing is that yesterday was my hubby's birthday! We celebrated at dinner with our families and it was so great and I think he had a great birthday! Of course I took the camera and didnt take any pictures.... again... what is wrong with me?!
 
 
 
This is my doll face the other morning before school. LOVE!
Also, one reason I think this week is extra crazy smushed in all in a few days is because we are heading to Houston tomorrow for Chandler to do some work and Channing and I are going to tag along to visit some friends and family!
 
 
Last Saturday Channing and I had to stop by Petco and we looked at all the cool 'fishies'.
 
 
I also randomly stopped at Sprouts and found this juice for Channing. I REALLY try to not keep juice at our house and just make it more of a treat thing but this I am ok with... she likes it too!
 
 
Play time in the pretty weather
 
 
This my friends was a pinterest recipe. It was amazing...
Kale, Apple, Bacon Sautee.... YUMMY
 
 
 
 
And I will leave this post with this face... SMILE today! Everything is going to be OK.
 
God is always in control and we have to believe that and move on. Be careful what words you use towards other peoples opinions. You cannot take mean words back.
 
Treat others like you would like to be treated no matter what.
Happy Wednesday!

OH.MY.STARS




If you know me... you know I LOVE FALL! In Dallas we rarely have what you might call seasons but this past weekend we had the PERFECT fall weather.
 


 
I received the 'Oh My Stars' poncho from Kiki La Rue and thought it was the perfect time to wear it in the perfect weather.

 
I cannot say enough about the quality of this piece. It is SUPER soft because it is an angora blend.
You can feel the quality but at the same time it is not too heavy. The perfect accessory for our Texas weather.

 
It is also a very versatile piece. You can dress it up or dress it down. I dressed it up a little with faux leather leggings and what I like to call 'statement' booties but I think you could just as easily dress it down with some skinny jeans rolled up with some pointed heels or casual booties.

 
OBVI it was a windy day and I loved the way the poncho flows too!
So easy to wear!

 
 
Please don't mind my awkward hand... I am a wannabe model!

Poncho:c/o Kiki La Rue/Faux Leather Leggings: Kardashian Kollection for Sears/ Booties: Sole Society/Necklace: Vintage/Sunnies: Vintage Thrifted
 
 
 
 
Also I should mention that Becka at Kiki La Rue is FABULOUS! She runs an amazing boutique and her customer service is BEYOND. She has some of the cutest stuff around as you can see in this post or on her website. And her prices are the best around and if for some CRAZY reason they aren't she will match the price (policy here). I am telling you that service like this is hard to come by these days. Not to mention Kiki La Rue items are mailed in bright fuchsia packages and if that doesn't make you smile then something must be wrong with you. Like Kiki La Rue's FB page and follow KKLR on IG too! You will thank me later! Please tell her I sent you.

They have games and a bounce house (Channing's FAVE) and it is super fun. This was the first year Channing REALLY loved it and loved playing all the little games!
