Cutest Picture Ever & Mini Clothing Haul.....


Hi My Loves!!!

Long time no blog.... or at least it seems like it? I'm not sure actually how long it's been but I think it's been around a week! Either way, I have a new one today so yay!!

Yesterday we had some nice weather for once in our lives :) We decided to go for a walk to the park with the kids seeing as it was so pretty out. Phoenix discovered his love for dandelions (fairy flowers as we like to call them).... Lily hasn't quite decided whether she likes them or not. I did catch some really cute pictures of them though. I figured I would share the cuteness.

This might possibly be my favorite picture of Phoenix that I have ever taken. All of these were taken with my Nokia Lumia 1020 incase you are wondering (and no they do not know I am writing this blog post or anything like that).... I just love how great everything turns out when I take pictures with it ;) 


Phoenix was having so much fun blowing the "Tinkerbells"




Lily was staring at something haha :) 



She just wasn't too sure about how fluffy they were haha! 




How cute is Lily Bug?



I also got a few new items of clothing from Music City Pretty Boutique  (follow her on Instagram too) that I was super excited to try on, so I figured I would do a late night selfie clothing haul with a messy bedroom (we're painting our bedroom)... and a huge bun! Oh and a dusty mirror :) These pictures are so un "guru" like and super unprofessional but hey that's just me. If you follow me, you should know that by now. How do you like Moo and Bella photobombing me haha?

This shirt is super cute, it's white on the front with rhinestones and then black with a really fun back. Super flowy material and nice and loose on the tummy. I have a Medium incase you need a size reference.


This is the back (excuse the clear hanger straps)... this was a random spur of the moment, unplanned haul :) I don't know what is going on with the shadow on my back but I can assure you I don't have a weird half moon white patch.


This top is perfect for summer. With one of my Victorias Secret bralettes under it will be so cute for summer. Plus it's nice and loose incase you don't have a perfect flat tummy. Paired up with some denim or white shorts... perfect!


The next top is so comfy! It's so soft. I can't wait to wear this with some skinny jeans and some cute flats or sandals.


The colors just scream summer to me.


Last item is this leopard and mint scarf. I love scarves and this has two of my favorite scarves I already have mixed into one ;) YAY! 


To see more of the cute stuff Music City Pretty Boutique has, head on over to her store and use the code Sam10 for 10% off. Huge thanks to Tina for these items! I love them :) CLICK HERE FOR HER STORE!

BS and I also had a little girly time and painted our nails. Mine were so chipped, so it was time! BS did the Covergirl Outlast Mint Mojito with Julie G's Nail Polish in Light It Up over the top. I had Julie G's Sound The Alarm with Light It Up over. Love her polishes. They are so amazing.



Last but not least my favorite Instagram picture I've seen yet. I saw this on my sweet friend JulieGBeautys instagram and couldn't help but laugh because this is what my hair looks most days (the one with the bird on top) and Jay and I totally watched the end of Pocahontas when the kids were napping yesterday and I was thinking the whole time how amazing her hair and lips were... then I saw this. Had to regram it ;)

Hope you all had a great weekend! Ours started amazing and ended a little differently but you will just have to watch our vlog tomorrow to find out why :)

Wishing I Was Here...

Hi My Loves....

I'm not a winter person. Never have been, never will. I do love the holidays but I'm not one for cold. Lately, with this very cold weather I've been finding myself dreaming of warmth, sun and lazy days on the beach :) If you are like me and you need a little virtual suncation, then relax and take a little look at these delightful pictures of our summer trip. We had so much fun in my hometown of South Lake Tahoe. I'm a beach baby and this was one of my very favorite days while we were there.


Lily and Phoenix had so much fun playing in the water and sand. It was so nice to watch them enjoy something that I grew up loving so much. 



Such a special moment with Phoenix and Uncle Brad playing at the park, with the beautiful lake behind. Daddy and Lily just chillin' in the grass. I love this picture.



This is one of my favorites of Brad and Phoenix.


The beautiful sunsets of Tahoe are just dreamy :)


Taking the kids for their first bike ride was so much fun!


This was such a beautiful day. It had just started to rain when we took this picture and the colors look so beautiful.


My favorite picture of all is this one. The most important thing in life is family and to be able to have such a great one..... I am truly blessed.


Hope you had fun looking back at our Summer vacation back to my hometown. It's funny how much you miss the place you grew up in as you get older. I suppose I never really appreciated it's beauty when I was young and used to it. Now that I'm not there, I find myself missing it more and more.....

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Bikini Dilemma....

Hi My Loves!!!

It's hot. It's been SUPER hot here..... times it by a lot when you are pregnant and what do you get??? A super sweaty, waddling pregnant woman.. haha!

We love going to all the little wading pools and splash parks to cool down. We are very fortunate to have lots to choose from here and they definitely help in keeping me cool.

Here's the problem...... I can not find a bikini top that covers up my girls!!! It's so frustrating. When I was a little younger, I was all about showing some cleavage, looking all snazzy.... but life changes and so have my girls! Haha... Now I need something that still looks nice, not old lady, but covers them up and keeps them in place. It's almost embarrassing to take off my shirt because they are so ridiculous in a bikini top. I find myself taking off my shirt and then 5 minutes later putting it back on because I feel like one of them might just pop out to say hello and frighten all the other kids and moms. NOT GOOD.

So I figured who better to ask than all of you lovely ladies. I know a lot of you have kids and I'm sure a lot of you have some big you know whatties like me....... so help me out girls!!! Where can I find a bikini that has a good coverage, stays in place, is running around after your toddler while bending over friendly and still looks like I'm in my 20's and not my 80's???.... WOW, that's a pretty big wish list for a bikini. Forget House Hunters, they need a show called Bikini Hunters! 

Let me know!!

Thanks for reading :) Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
