What I Wore Wednesday

I do love Wednesdays for one reason---I get lots of fashion inspiration from the girls who link up with Lindsey!  Yeah!  That means that, yes, I am putting pictures of myself online.  I promise it is not because I am conceited...it is for accountability and great advice.   We link up with Lindsey and get GREAT ideas from each other.  Join us!




Totally had a cold snap come through lately.  I cannot believe we are out of school NEXT Friday...I think part of my disbelief comes from the fact that I have been in long pants, long sleeves and boots more in May than I did in April!!!  

 Tee: Target
Sweater: GAP
Jeans: GAP

Shirt: Belk
Pants: Chadwicks
Flip flops: beach

I like finding new outfit ideas on Pinterest...do you?  Here is one of my faves from yesterday!  Simple but classy...I think Anonymous could even pull this one off!  :)
 

Another fun thing I use to help me figure out what I should wear each day is Style Up. They send me an email with my weather for the next day and a picture of an outfit I might want to try to recreate.  Now, sometimes I laugh at the outfits, but I have had many a good inspiration from a Style Up email.  You should at least look into it!

And remember, as the weather warms up and the sun starts to shine brighter and hotter, WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!!!!

Hope you all have a super week!

The Hardest Job

I truly thought, all my life as a mother, that motherhood was the toughest job around. Sleepless nights, endless worries over whether the cough was just a simple cough, maybe croup, maybe bronchitis, strep or pneumonia! Do they feel warm or is it just me? Do their eyes look tired? Are they eating healthy? Do they weigh enough? too much? Are they doing well in school? What else can I do for them????? All of those questions and many more have haunted me as a mom. But I discovered something Friday night....

The hardest job of all time is being a chaperone at a lock-in at school with 22 kids.  Maybe my age had something to do with it...maybe the stress of being a chaperone AT SCHOOL, at night, with security cameras running 24 hours to catch all of our running in the halls had something to do with it.

Don't get me wrong, just like motherhood, it was full of fun, spills to clean and lack of sleep!

We had a great leader (she was on top of everything---to include making an agenda for the night for the kids to follow--hahahahaha!)--see how observant she is in picture #23.  She was adamant that we take a group photo every hour and we did....probably the favorite part for me.
