The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. -Psalm 24:1

A warm thank you to all the encouraging comments from yesterday’s post on our family’s time of change. I’m blessed and humbled by your kindness and prayer support! ***************************************** So, onto a lighter subject: How to get beautiful curls in the morning after sleeping with your hair in a sock. Yes, I know you’ve been dying to know. I discovered this little video tutorial through Pinterest: Sock Bun Curls No Heat I’m too lazy to take pics of each step when you can watch the video, but here’s the basic idea: …roll you ponytail up in the donut…get some rest…and wake up with this: No heat. No pain. No cost. Lots of curls. Later in the day, I got snazzied up in my Chinese Mandarin dress to be a guest speaker on China for all the little Kindergarteners at our school. No, I’m not demonstrating Jazz Hands…that’s me teaching them […]
Peach, coral, apricot, blush….You’ve seen it all over this Spring and Summer. Fashion is so circular. Don’t you remember when peach was all the rage in the 80s? I remember having a peach Forenza t-shirt from The Limited as a middle-schooler. I thought myself a super-model when I wore that t-shirt. I’m barely fitting into any of my pre-baby clothes. All of you mommies out there can sympathize, I’m sure. Spending money on clothes (that I will hopefully not fit into someday) is not tops on my priority list, but wearing sweats all the time is not an option either. So…I am tickled pink, or should I say peach, when I find new clothes on super sale. This is what I’m wearing today. It’s from The Gap. It’s apricot. It takes me back to the 80′s, minus the super-model part. It cost me $15, total. That’s the way I do […]
Now that DSLRs are ubiquitous, many of us are wondering how to lug our camera and lens(es) to the zoo, birthday parties, and even Starbucks, in hopes of capturing memorable moments of our kiddos in action. If you are like me, you’ve probably got a diaper bag and often a purse already, and the last thing you want is to carry a ginormous black camera bag that screams, “Look at my photography gear!” At least, that’s how I feel. I’ve spent a little time doing the research online, and thought I’d share my findings with you: For the stylish photographer, if you don’t mind carrying yet another bag for a camera (or the hefty pricetag), here are some of the industry’s most fashionable options: Jill-e Bags Kelly Moore Bags The Shootsac Here are some less fashionable, but very functional options: Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW (The SlingShot is the one we […]
I came home with this lovely arrangement from a baby shower thrown in my honor this past weekend. How inspiring are these colors together? So much so that I’m dreaming up a breezy ensemble for this summer…when I just might have a waist again. Tangerine and Lilac by GraceLaced Be inspired by what surrounds you today!
Cinco doesn’t really care if his mama’s sweet or street chic. At almost 33 weeks, he’s still just along for the ride.
We’re planning on having a quiet night at home with the boys on Valentine’s Day. I’m so looking forward to expressing to my boys that they exist and love life because their mom and dad exist, love God, and love each other. I think I will express that to my family by grilling up some steaks. That’ll do it, don’t you think? Were I and the Preacher going out to dinner, this would be an ideal ensemble: Inas leather blazer, $183 Maternity Lace Keyhole Jumper, $70 Old Navy Womens Dark Wash Maternity Low-Rise Denim Pencil Skirts, $19 Dolce Vita PERSIUS, $180 red ruby rose clutch bag by red ruby rose | notonthehighstreet.com, 65 GBP Carved Red Coral Rose Ring And, for any of you ladies who may be spending the evening having dinner with your best friends, perhaps this outfit can ward off any unwanted attention: Glamour Kills Keep Calm […]
We’ve seen the lowest temps here in 20 years this last week. The Southwest can be so deceiving. One day it is feeling like Spring with clear sunny skies, while the next may bring sub-zero temps and school closures!

Sketch Stripe Boatneck Top, $39 Gap Sparkly cocoon sweater, $30 Gap Skinny Jeans (Saturated Dark Wash), $30 Fourre-tout robuste, $28 Merona® Solid Wrap – Yellow : Target, $50 Women’s Merona® Makana Cutout Sliver Wedges – Yellow : Target, $23
Do you know what a cowl is? Have you seen them around, and wondered what to do with such a thing? A cowl is basically a knit or crocheted tube that drapes at the neckline. It can be like a turtleneck without the shirt, a hooded tube scarf, or even a lighter infinity scarf. Here are some of my faves currently on etsy: 1. the Wishbone Cowl 2. Kaleidoscope Cowl 3. Soft Spoken Cowl 4. the Kaltag Necklace 5. The Coffee Cowl 6. Cobblestone Cowl You all know that I love wearing solid, neutral colors in effort to keep looking classy, effortless. So as to not be completely boring in my wardrobe, I add a spot of color here and there with accessories. My sweet friend, Brittany, from church offered to knit a cowl for me out of one of my specially reserved stashes of yarn I picked up at a […]
