what I wore wednesday

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s wednesday again!!! which means it’s time for me to brag about all of my incredibly well-thought out and likely expensive fashion endeavors prove to the world that I didn’t wear jammies all week. well, not all week…wiwwwednesday:011

  • tank: old navy, thrifted
  • cardigan: handmedown
  • jeans: thrifted
  • flip flops: kohls
  • earrings: target
  • scarf: thrifted022

I was SO excited to find this scarf! it’s gorgeous! very silvery and shimmery, the blue flowers and so cute, AND it’s short! for somebody like me, who is of the not-so-tall persuasion, really long scarfs (or even standard length scarfs) can sometimes be a little overwhelming. you know? it’s like, “how many times can I wrap this thing around my neck before you can’t see my head anymore?” at any rate, this one is awesome and I love it and expect to see it on me a lot!

I also found the process of trying to take a picture to be quite entertaining. I have a ‘people dog’, meaning, wherever her people are, that is where she thinks she belongs, too. if you sit down somewhere, the only reason you could possibly be sitting down is for the purpose of giving her some love and attention… at any rate, it took several shots and a good, firm “SIT! STAY!” to keep her out of the picture. as is, you can still see her foot in the “good one” above. oh well, you get what you get…

thursday:   003

yeah, totally awesome picture taking this week…

  • top: fred meyer
  • cami: handmedown (not that it’s really that important)
  • jeans/capris? whatever it is I’m wearing from the waist down…
  • necklace/earrings: handmedown from my mom

I have to say that, so far, since getting my hair cut, this was my FAVORITE way I’ve styled it so far. it’s growing on me… we’ll just say that much.

sunday:

I don’t have a picture of what I wore to church, but I can show you what my almost 5 year old DIDN’T wear:234

that’s right, SHOES! yup, we’re those parents, and this is THAT kid. we’re half-way to church (which is a good 30 minutes away, if we’re lucky) and dave looks back to see micah’s unshod feet and asks, “do you have shoes?”

nope.

awesome.

so he went to sunday school, church, subway, and back to church for a meeting we had to attend in his SOCKS…

tuesday: (I had my daughter take pics for me here, she’s pretty much the only one I like to have do it. somehow, I don’t feel as stupid asking her as I would asking, say, my husband or 13 year old… and the almost 5 year old is not so trustworthy with the camera… at any rate, I didn’t consider the sunrise going on behind me, and thus the halo/aura thing going on. had we not been in a hurry, I probably would have noticed this and had her change her angle, but oh well. such is life. I’m not entering any photography contests here…)004

  • tank: target
  • cardigan: gap, thrifted
  • skirt: j crew, thrifted
  • saltwaters: nordstrom a million years ago
  • jewelry: family heirloom
  • belt: g-sale find!

{and btw, you can totally unclog the nastiest of nasties, when when it comes to clogged toilets, in this outfit!}

and once again, we had the attack of the “love me” dog.

003007008009011012

all the ‘outtake’ pictures crack me up. if you’re not a dog person, or you don’t know labs, you probably don’t appreciate these too much and feel free to ignore. I think they’re hysterical and plan to include them a lot. hey. it’s life. and this is my blog about my life and I stinkin’ love this dog. I know everybody thinks their dog is the best dog, but I’m on my second lab now, and I’m pretty convinced that this is the only kind of dog I ever want to own.

I will admit that I was attacked by jammies and/or sweats and/or old jeans a couple of days this week… what can I say? they overpowered me. part of it was garage sale set up/tear down, and part of it was not feeling well and spending a day on the couch or staying home with my daughter who was not feeling well and spent the day on the couch… I WILL do better.

link up! it’s fun! I want to see what you’re wearing!

this week I’m joining a new link up. check it out there, as well!

  1. Love this post! Saw you and your pup on WIWW and had to stop by. We have a lab that looks just like yours and he is a people person too. Also, don't feel bad about your 5 yr old taking your pics. My seven year old does it for me sometimes too :) Heather

  3. I love your outtake photos! I tried to get my 4 year old to help me with my photos this week - his first one was upside-down! I had to post it because it's pretty funny. I often enjoy the 'behind the scenes' ones more than the 'real' ones! Great outfits this week - they look practical but still stylish and feminine. I like it!

    1. usually my outtakes aren't quite that fun. i just delete the ones that are blurry or have really weird facial expressions!

to trick or treat or not to trick or treat… that is the question…

so i appear to be having a halloween dilemma. i’ve always ‘celebrated’ halloween. you know, we carve a pumpkin, dress up in costumes, go ring doorbells and get candy. i did it when i was a kid. my kids have done it. but that’s not to say i feel entirely comfortable with it. i haven’t looked into it a lot, but i am aware of the sketchy, pagan history of the holiday, and it does kind of disturb me that that’s what we continue to celebrate. and i do remember at some point, my mom expressing concern over the holiday and kind of wanting to ‘quit’. that said, what most people ‘celebrate’ as halloween is a far cry from where it came from. i don’t think that putting a kid in a bunny costume and ringing the neighbor’s doorbell is all that evil. dressing up is fun. candy is fun. but the bible warns about associating with witchcraft and mediums and various evil stuff like that. ***edited to add*** and as a christian, i believe that following the bible’s guidelines is important. does this not qu

dear neighbors which shall remain nameless,

i am writing this informational letter on behalf of your children, your bank account, and your auto insurance company, all of which suspect an impending blow to their current, healthy state. it appears that you may not be aware of certain traffic laws which pertain to the proper seating and safety of your children while in your vehicle, so i will take this opportunity to share them with you.   Washington's New Child Restraint Law Effective June 1, 2007, children less than eight years old must be restrained in child restraint systems, unless the child is four feet nine inches or taller. A child who is eight years old or older, or four feet nine inches or taller, must be properly restrained either with the motor vehicle's safety belt or an appropriately fitting child restraint system. Children under thirteen years old must be transported in rear seats where it is practical to do so. The fine for improperly restrained children in motor vehicles is at least $112 per c

party planning - from a 3 year old.

with micah's birthday coming up on friday, there has been a lot of discussion of party themes. for some reason, layla has become completely convinced that micah should have a princess party. this totally cracks me up because she's been talking since july about how when she turns 4, she's going to have a pirate birthday. so she brought this up again this morning while she, micah and i were all flopping around in the bed waiting for the house to warm up (coffee to finish brewing). i said that micah didn't really want a princess birthday, at which point he crawled over me and farted. so layla, in true layla fashion, said, "maybe he should have a fart party."

idiosyncratic kids, bad parenting, and the like…

here’s a random post for you.  a smorgasbord of tasty day-to-day anecdotes with no topic in particular. HOW TO MAKE “D-CHEESES”   - just in case you find yourself in charge of my daughter around snack time. i have no idea where she came up with this, or why it is called ‘d-cheese’, but if she asks for d-cheese, this is how you make it:   the stacking is key! if you should, for some reason decided to cut one half and then the other half, you’re asking for it.  the two halves must be stacked and then cut. and all 4 pieces must be stacked on top of each other before handing over.  how she came up with this, and how i figured it out, i have no idea. i never claimed to have normal kids. BREAD ANYONE? the other night we had bread with dinner, but forgot to eat it. micah found it a little later and decided to have a little snack.            he was reaching into the bread and digging it out.  do you see the hole he put in that piece? and finally, WANNA FEEL LI

big fat nothing

see all the big welts?  yeah, me neither.  our spectacular appointment with the allergist revealed that layla is allergic to nothing.  so we're back to square one and we know nothing other than that something is causing her bladder issues and we don't know what.  maybe her doctor can put a little pressure on the urologist to see us.  who knows.  and food doesn't seem to be causing her skin issues, nor the rash she gets on her face after eating sometimes.  okay, that's not exactly accurate.  food is causing it, but not an allergy.  she has sensitive skin and when food gets smeared on her face, it irritates her skin. so, as disappointed as i am that we've gotten nowhere here, i am looking on the bright side that she isn't allergic to something major like wheat or dairy that would create a significant lifestyle change in regards to our diet.  so in that respect, it's good news.  i just really want some answers.
