Photo Friday: Cold Weather Recap

I’m ok sharing these photos, as it’s not our current view anymore. The snow has finally gone & I've even opened the windows a few days this week! It’s officially the return of park season, also known as patio season for toddlers. Speaking of parks, we’re heading there this morning after pancakes...

Woke up to this frosty scene one morning & found it beautiful :)
Soccer-aunt attire (Uggs, Shein scarf, F21 thermal & cardi)
Watching my oldest niece play indoor scorer, she's a rockstar!
A glass of Apothic Red for the win :)
Mementos from the baby shower cleaned outta my purse (earrings: F21)
The Mr. bought me this sweatshirt & I've worn it sooooo much already (via Winner's)

Make it Easy

I wore this out for a quick lunch & a few beers with an old friend a few weeks back. I’ve been trying to make it easy on myself by dressing in basics (usually layered) & adding a few over-the-top accessories, like these sparkly earrings. They’re a little extra for daytime, but that’s just how I like it...unexpected! This thermal is a new fav too, mostly because the peplum trim is super feminine & I love how it pairs so well with other textures. Enjoy 🙂

What's New Wednesday

I'm really trying to keep up a schedule here, but it's proving a little difficult lol.  My MacBook is in desperate need of a work-over to fix a few glitches (fingers crossed we get that taken care of this weekend), so it makes posting a little more time consuming.  Any way,  I have a few new things to report as of late, most importantly being the birth of our new nephew Beckett! I've got a ton of catching up to do photo wise, like a few weeks before Easter-catching-up...yikes! Until then, enjoy what's new around here...

Lace bralette's from F21, the perfect price for the perfect piece :)
Free People's Cuddle Up Pullover, which you've totally already seen :)
The perfect bouquet of flowers to brighten up the kitchen (via the Mr.).
My late grandmother's ring.  I picked this as a keepsake because I found it so beautiful.
The stone on this ring, it's gorgeous! I had it resized & cleaned locally.
I'm dying to wear these, especially since I scored them for $15 (via F21)!!!
I had no idea the LCBO (our liquor store) did mystery bags of beer...it was a fun surprise for girl's night!
The perfect tee from a local shop in my hometown (The Painted Rooster)
Sweet baby Beckett, about 6 hours old...so squishy & perfect!

A Collaboration With LulaRoe & the Iowa Sisters

I haven't had the chance to do many collaborations, especially when it comes to shooting looks with another person (which isn't as tough as I assumed it would be).  One of my oldest friends from high school got into the LulaRoe biz (LulaRoe Katie & Angela, AKA the Iowa Sisters) & offered me a few pieces to style.  I found out I was prego with Sadie not long after & unfortunately, these pieces were pushed into the depths of my closet.  Angela has recently relocated to New York state with her family & is now only a few hours away from ME! As someone who has grown far to use to the fact that her best girlfrans are 9+ hours away, you can imagine my excitement to have one just a little bit closer.  We shot these photos on her last visit here & I'm sharing them today, as it's her family's first week in their new home :)

Cuddle Up

This sweater totally lives up to it's namesake of the 'Cuddle Up Pullover'.  I scored it on mega sale via Nordstrom & am already kicking myself for not snagging it sooner.  It's the perfect piece for everyday life & I've already worn it a ton.  Styled below for playgroup with the girls & paired with leggings for lounging on the couch, it's the best piece for cuddling up with my babies.

Playing The Waiting Game

Today is all about playing the waiting game.  I'm waiting for the weather to cheer up  & actually act like spring, for the vet to call with an update on our sweet English mastiff Duncan, & for the girls to wake from their naps so we can get out of the house today.  I wore this simple outfit to the girls' Easter party at playgroup.  I really miss my friend Amie's little boutique, I always found something unique that no one else had (no one that I knew at least), like this floral tunic top.

Go Black

Whoa, it's been a whirlwind of a week! We got word that my sister-in-law had gone into labor, so the Mr. woke up at 8AM after working the afternoon shift last Tuesday & went to get the oil changed in the van, while I packed & took the dog to the vet.  We left the house at noon, dropped the dogs off at my Mother-in-Law's, & hit the road for the birth of our first nephew on my side of the family. We got back late this past Sunday afternoon & were busy filing taxes/ catching up on everything yesterday.  Phew! Not to worry, I had time for a quick outfit post in-between napping babes.  This sweater has been on heavy rotation, but this time I paired it with all black.  I loved the way it complemented my red studded booties, was can I say? I like what I like :)

On His Way!

Currently typing this post as I wait for an update on my sister-in-law's labor! My sweet little nephew is on his way, almost two weeks early! This week is jam-packed for us with appointments so we'd be ready for his arrival, except he had other plans! Now I'm scurrying around trying to reschedule a bunch of things so we can leave as soon as possible :)

Decided on this outfit for just the occasion, with all the touches of navy blue.  A simple layered look, paired with my all-time favorite boots...
