It's Friday y'all!!! Even though I'm out for summer and every day is kind of the weekend, I am PUMPED because Dave is off until 4:00 tomorrow! Those of y'all with spouses in the service industry will get my excitement :) hahaha
As always, I'm keeping today's Five on Friday EXTRA random!

My new BFF
I am ridiculously modest. Like - borderline weirdo. I HATE clingy clothes. HATE THEM. I'm just not "into" form fitting... never have been. I take that back.... when I was in college and weighed a solid 95 lbs I ROCKED some low rise jeans and tiny fitted tees. Now, not so much. I love drapey and unique and so this Flounce Tee from Anthropologie and I have become fast friends.
It's light and drapey and fun... and yes... that's a WHOLE bunch of laundry and a baby Ariel doll in the background. AND a strainer in the bathroom sink. #momlife
The scarf is the one I've been PREACHING about for a sweet EVER.. so go ahead and order two! And the earrings are the Kate Spade studs in Fluorescent Pink. I have a lot of hair (understatement of the year!!!) and I love how they "pop" even behind the mane. :)

I big puffy heart love MCA
I shared this on my Facebook page, but wanted to share it here as well. If you have a few minutes you need to check out this video about Life at MCA. I am about to teach my ninth year there and Luke is starting his third year and we couldn't be more proud or happy about being Mustangs.

WIPED out :)
This week has been exhausting - but in a great way. VBS in the mornings, swim lessons in the afternoons and lots of fun in between (add on top of that that I have picked up a stomach bug somewhere along the way - ICK!) and the kiddos are all WIPED!
There have been lots of early bedtimes and car naps going on...
Sidenote: are you not obsessing over her glittery clippy??? I can't wait to share the vendor with y'all and do a DOUBLE giveaway next week!!!

WOO HOO!!! Congrats, Elaine!!! Shoot me an email and I can get the gift card to you OR I can apply it to an order this weekend :)
I wish I had dozens of gift cards to give away - and definitely have plans to do this again when the new Fall line comes out in August. I was TICKLED that Griffin and I got to introduce a lot of y'all to the awesomeness that is Matilda Jane and hope that lots of you and your little girls get in some MJ soon!
Enjoy your weekends, friends!!!
Happy weekend to you too friend!! Your kiddos asleep in the car is just so cute :). And I love, love, love your unique style! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girly! and yes - the sweetest kids are sleeping kids :)
DeleteLOVE that shirt! I'm so over clingy clothes these days...ever since I had children.....HA! I also love how you paired it with the scarf, but I'm seriously wondering, does that get really hot in the summers? I love the look of it, but I'm just not convinced I could pull it off in the hot, humid summers of Virginia?
ReplyDeleteHey! A lot of times the scarf is off by the end of the day... but I typically don't find it too bad when I'm at work or running errands. :)
DeleteOk that white shirt ...it's so cute I can't even stand it!!!! The kate spade em earrings...I have 6 pairs and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I have not worn any other earrings but those in the past month. And love all the pics...but the ones that Grifffin is holding the keys...those are the best. That girl and the jets! Happy Friday !!!!
ReplyDeleteGriffin LOVES her some keys! :) And yes - the earrings are quickly becoming my go-to!
DeleteThat first picture of you...you look like a super model! Seriously! Your make-up is flawless and your hair is gorgeous!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm blushing :) LOVE you (and your compliments) hehehe Thanks, friend!
DeleteI am super impressed that you were able to do swim lessons and VBS while you had a stomach bug, mom of the year status in my book! We have had strep at my house and life has pretty much come to a halt to make room for extra sleeping, popsicles and antibiotics. Love all the outfits, especially Griffin's, and I am definitely going to have to get some of those scarves.

Hahaha. It's been a challenge - but the boys are having a great time - so I've rolled with it :) and yes - the scarves are a total must have! Let me know which ones you end up getting!
DeleteOmg!! I can't believe I won!!! So so excited. Thank you!! I will start shopping later today :) thanks again!!! Woo hoo
ReplyDeleteThe price on that white shirt....amazing !!! Love love love
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Love that white shirt it looks fabulous! And I love your hair, like seriously love your hair!
ReplyDeleteYou're too sweet! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
DeleteI'm a flouncy and drapey kind of girl too! I have over 40+ dresses in my closet and maybe 5 of them are form fitting! I love seeing the cutesy and modern ways that you dress! It always gives me such great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! Thank you!!! :)
DeleteG looks so cute in her clippy, so darn cute!!! Love her pics in her highchair, sweet girl! Oh and not to forget your boys cause I think they are equally as cute (even while they sleep in the car)....don't want to show favorites, hehehe!!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. It's totally obvious that you love her more than the boys :) #ridiculous
DeleteI know, right?!?!?! SO EXCITING!!!!
ReplyDeleteGriffin's sparkle bow: So fabulous!! She's so fancy and I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the video about your school!! And now I'm off to check up on these scarves ;)
I LOVE your style and blog! Look forward to reading it all the time :) Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your style and your blog! I always looks forward to reading more :) Happy Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over the fact that you were 95lb in college!!!! I last saw that number in 5th grade. haha! I absolutely love your top and Griffin's sparkle bow is just too much. I want one...For myself? ;) As, always, thanks for sharing. I really do love your blog.
ReplyDeleteJust curious about the paper hanging on your bathroom mirror? Is it some inspirational message or motivation for the day? I love your "yes" mom philosophy. I rethink my answers when my 14 & 18 yr. old ask me questions. Love your true life pictures of a not so perfect room. As moms, we know this is more typical than the super clean rooms that most blogs reveal. Luv your blog, your energy, ideas, & "realness"...lol
ReplyDeleteI saw the name Elaine and about DIED! Ha! Is that green scarf the same one that Shay talked about today? I love the color! Looks like y'all have had a great week!
ReplyDeleteAww sweet G falling asleep in her high chair! I can relate! ha!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, lady!
That white shirt is amazing!!! And I'll say it again, you have the cutest kids!!!
ReplyDeleteI think in a society where we tend to dress up our lives to make them seem perfect, I really appreciate the way you post pictues that maybe have toys in the background, or the kids aren't always smiling. I feel like you really show your readers the real you, and that's so awesome and encouraging to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd also.. Can I move to Texas?! That video of your school was just amazing. I'm praying about where my son will go to school after Pre-K and I'd really love for him to attend a Christian school so it was awesome seeing how all the glory went back to God during it. Amazing!

Our VBS starts next week. I'm already bracing for the hectic time it's going to be. We are so excited about it though, we love VBS
ReplyDeleteI love that flounce tee!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks incredible in those photos!!

Girl, you could rock any clothes! You always look amazing. I wish my wardrobe was so cute. I'm LOVING that you love flawy (and non form fitting shirts) too because ever since I had my baby (almost two years ago so he's not so much a baby haha), I've been all about comfy, non-form fitting clothes.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet poor G was so tired she fell asleep in her dinner. Such a cute picture though!
