Weekend Update

These pics are in reverse order for some reason but I am going with it because that's how I roll on a Monday morning.

 

We are enjoying having some of our best friends move down the street from us. Exactly one mile and they have a pool! I mean... nothing much better than that!

 

We ate dinner with the three out of three nights this weekend haha AND met them at 'Good to Go Taco' Sunday morning. Danielle and I showed up in the same outfit actually... totally random but funny and picture worthy!

Channing is pretty much a pro at soccer now after a few weeks! Her team is so cute and she is really getting the hang of it. 

The picture is blurry for some reason but this is the crowd that came to cheer her on this week! That girl is surely loved!

 

A little pre-game pep talk...

Channing is in the middle.

Pre-game stretching!

And last but actually first.... Saturday morning Danielle and I went to a 'Chicken Class' at Gecko Hardware. It was such an informative class and I am now more than ever excited about getting Chickens in the near future!

So This One Time...

I pretended to be a model...

 

In all seriousness I was asked by our very favorite photographer Katie Norris to model some camera straps for her amazing company 'Fotostrap'

 

I was honored to say the least and it was SO much fun to do. I felt like a real model on that hot 100 degree day dressing for the 'fall look'! Also, because one of the girls WAS actually a model in NY and was like 5'9 and model like!

 

 

 

 

 

Please take some time and read some more about her company that does SO much for others!

Shake Shake Shake

Oh my goodness y'all.

 

Have you tried these Dole Fruit Shakers yet?

 

Seriously I love them! So easy and perfect for me on the go in the mornings during the week when I am running (literally) out the door to get Channing to school and myself to work!

 

They taste fresh and crisp! I mix mine with some grapefruit juice but they have other suggestions on the bottle. 

The 'Peach Mango' is my fave but the Strawberry Banana is really great too!

 

The only sad part is that I cannot find them at SAMs or Costco so I have to keep buying them individually at Target...

 

Anyhow if you need a quick healthy on the go suggestion here ya go!

 

 

 

(not paid or anything just love them)

Show and Tell

Channing had a GREAT weekend, no fighting bedtime hardly any fits and was so happy!

 

School drop off has been going SO well too!

 

Yesterday her teacher reminded her that today is 'Show and Tell' and that she could pick anything she wanted this week. She chose her purse with her brush in it, of course!

 

 

Just a little SASS before school!

She asked Chandler to get her water table out this weekend and we turned around and found her like this... laid back lounging with her eyes closed... now that's the life!

This is her pose of choice for modeling her new swimsuit from Grammie!

Someone is ready for Soccer to start!

Still a good shopping helper... MOST of the time!

On our way to the grocery store with her own reusable bag!

School Days

Well... after a good week off after Summer Camp at WRN School Channing started FOR REAL pre-school this week. Drop off has been hard as expected but today I waited outside the closed door and listened to her cry for just a few more seconds and then she started saying the pledge with all the other kiddos. Separation is HARD for her right now. It is HARD for Chandler and I too. But, lets face it... She has a great time! There is a skating rink, an indoor pool, a music class and library! She loves it... AFTER I leave.

She still loves to take pictures with my phone! 

Breen dropped off her baby that she left at her house the other night with a new shirt and a treat for after dinner... the way to Channing's heart? Chocolate or sweets!

It is SEPTEMBER ISSUE SEASON and in my Bazaar I found this new line of Zoya colors! I totally need the Channing one!

It Was Glorious

The weather and the weekend! Funny how people in Texas feel like 90 degrees feels cool in August! Couldn't be more thankful for the break from the hot 100 degree days!



We played a little dress up with the bunny ballerina on Saturday !





Ate a sticky bun at Crossroads Cafe at 75 and Walnut Hill. If you haven't had one GO NOW! It makes you happy and a little nutso. (See below)


Balance bike fun! We WERE going on a LONG trip according to Channing but we made it down the street and she was over the long trip and settled for going around the block.





Popsicles and baths in the pool!

That screams summer to me!

Inspired...

I had kind of hit a blogging rut in the last few weeks. I have plenty to blog about but I haven't had the motivation to do it. I have been inspired for one reason or another and you guys can expect new posts coming soon! I mean I turned 30 for goodness sakes.

 

For now I lets talk about how this weather in Dallas has left me longing for Fall! I mentioned the other night at dinner that I am so excited for College Football season to start, not because I understand football at all, but mostly because that time of year means cooler weather and a switch in the wardrobe! Can I get an amen?!

 

Since I haven't been taking daily outfit pics lately.. seriously IN.A.RUT

I am going to post some of my reent pins from Pinterest! I get a lot of outfit inspiration from my pins and maybe you will too!



Can we all agree that I NEED this skirt?! Some might question where I would wear it. But, if you know me you would understand that this could be part of my everyday work wear. What is wrong with a little Sequins in the work place?


Or tulle???


I am on the lookout for something like this combo...



Still loving Kelly/Emerald green and always love a leopard print!



LOVE the electric blue with the plaid!



AND
THIS.WHOLE.OUTFIT

I love every bit of it!

Happy Friday!

and lets all remember...
