what i wore wednesday

 good morning! i'm linking up with lindsey at the pleated poppy. just a few casual outfits today.


shorts/shirt: old navy
flips: target
bracelets: downeast basics


jeans: nordstrom
blouse: boutique
sandals: target
bracelet: sam moon
earrings: michele busch


shorts/shirt: old navy
flips: jcrew


jeans: old navy
shirt/necklace: jcp
shoes: target
ring: sam moon

in other news...i (along with my sister) am doing another 1 month no spending challenge. i will not be buying anything clothing, shoe or accessory related. i have a bad habit of going to target to "buy groceries" and coming out with the cutest outfits--doing that every time you stop to buy groceries turns out not to be the best use of time or money. i have got more than i possibly need and do not need anything else (for a month anyway, right?) 
i will keep you posted on my success!

insta-friday


just a few pictures i've taken recently. linking up for insta-friday.

a book i just finished about maximizing your time.
no, the irony of me wasting time posting about it on my blog is not lost on me!

me & mck
(bad of me--cute of her!)

cute chairs i'm thinking of getting at target--love the turquoise ones!

still working on getting my phone back in order after i lost everything.
drinking coffee out of my favorite cup helps.


some sweet friends gave us a bag full of cute stuff for bento boxes.
(thanks april & monica!)

have a great weekend!

anniversary party


we have been so busy, we just haven't been able to find a free weekend, but we finally got together with both our families to celebrate our anniversary last weekend.
one good thing about dragging out an anniversary is that it feels like we've been celebrating it for months!
we started the weekend off with a delicious mexican dinner at my mom & les'.

sometimes it's hard to get a good picture of all three of us--i loved this one!

just me and the mr. (and his coffee!)

our families not only spoil us rotten, but do the same thing for mckinlee too!
one of her many gifts included this beautiful vera bradley beach towel.

and the perfume she's been wanting.
she got so many other things that she was thrilled with too!

we got some beautiful things too--like the first piece of my milk glass collection.
isn't that lace bowl pretty?

we also got several gift cards that we can't wait to use!

mckinlee made us a sweet card and a "love" sign out of buttons. it's so cute--i can't wait to frame it.

this little cutie was so glad to see her uncle bruno--she kept hugging him and patting his face. it was SO sweet--and he just melted!

we finished with the best cupcakes from a local bakery. the brighter pink one is champagne and it was beyond yummy. my other favorite is the white cake and white icing--love.

the three musketeers

four generations

the guys in some serious discussion!

the next morning before we left for the meeting, sadie had to try on mckinlee's yellow wedges

the girls all dressed up--sadie belle would not let go of that football!


after our meeting we continued the festivities over at chris' mom and dad's.
mckinlee got a kohl's gift card & some pretty earrings.
 

along with some money they had already given us, chris got a coffee mug for work and a starbucks gift card.

dee knows my love of birds and got me 2 darling birds--that big one is a candle and now my kitchen smells like a cinnamon hazelnut latte!

after our lunch we had some tiramisu cake--yum.

i didn't get a bite of this but doesn't it look good too?

we had such a wonderful weekend and are so thankful and grateful for the love and support of our family!

in other news...my blogging and photography have been very sparse. it seems like we have something to do or take care of all the time and have just gotten busier with the opportunity to be in the drama at our district convention in august. we are so excited, but physically tired already! we have our circuit assembly tomorrow and sunday--so i better post this and get busy preparing for that.
have a great weekend!
