Beautiful Blouse

Sometimes I feel like photographs just don't do my outfit justice. This blouse is beautiful in person, but is coming across a little bleh in the photos. I guess you will just have to take my word for it. I am looking forward to the long weekend as I am sure most of you are. Find me on Instagram to see what I am up to this weekend...

Don't mind my wrinkled shirt. I would like to pretend that it was totally wrinkle free before tucking it in and wearing it, but I don't want to be a liar. I am not much for ironing (everything seems to come out worse than when I started) and I am very thankful that we have a steamer. I remember several years ago when I told my mother-in-law that I never ironed or dry-cleaned anything...I thought she might bust a vein. Since then I can say that I have improved...a little. I now go to the dry cleaners once a year! :)

I wore this cozy dress over the weekend to breakfast with my family. This dress is quite old, but I never get tired of the print. On another note, I made a meatloaf last night that had a ton of vegetables in it. It actually turned out better than I had expected...my husband even requested that I make it again.

I sincerely apologize for my lack of regular updates. Between family visiting and starting back at work I haven't found much extra time to take photos. I guess that isn't a very good excuse, since it is all about prioritizing....

p.s. I was very excited to be featured again on the dailybuzz.com site for Fall fashion! Check out my featured tab or their website to see the post.

Date Night

Nick surprised me with a date to the movies on Tuesday evening. We figured out that the last time I had been to the movies was last summer! We used to go all the time, but neither of us have movie going very high up on our list of priorities. It was nice to treat a weekday like the weekend for once though. It was also a good way to cheer me up.

As many of you already know, my grandma passed away on Sunday. I have very mixed emotions when it comes to death, but one thing that I do know is that even under crappy circumstances it is always great to see family. The rosary was last night and afterwards many of us headed to dinner. On the car ride home I was smiling and feeling so much joy after being around family and catching up. It makes me want to buy a bunch of land and build our own little commune that we all live in. Who's in? :)

Sorry I just couldn't help myself :) I mentioned before that my husband ends up taking more pictures of Dexter than he does of me. This is a prime example!

 

I googled ecards and spent more time than I would like to admit reading them. I also ended up with tears in my eyes and a strong urge to copy a bunch to this post. I think I am a little (cough- a lot) late to the game so I wont bore you anymore with things you have already read. But seriously, if you want a good laugh....

I have been stealing inspirational sayings/quotes from instagram, friends, etc. Sometimes all it takes are a few simple words to help put things into perspective. I also enjoy reading ecards and thought that this one was pretty fitting:
