In the good ole Spring Time

Hope you all are having a fabulous spring. Here are a few things that for me signify spring.

I love anything with our initials on it. This monogrammed mug from Anthropologie is amazing. Simply add fresh flowers in it and it’s sure to liven up any room of your home.

Nothing says spring like a nice floral dress. Here is my current favorite that I find any excuse to throw it on.

During this time I like to keep my lips nice and easy so I've been sporting this rosy lips by Vaseline. Totally obsessed with it, and it smells like roses. *Bouns*

Finally I can’t have spring without pastel nails polish! I love Julep.com. I am currently wearing Lilou. If you have never heard of Julep you need to get on this like now. They send you a monthly box which you get to chose what colors (from a few options). And if you refer friends you get jules points. That can get you free months. How cool is that. Also if you use the promo code: FREEBOX you get your 1^st month free all you pay is $3.99ish for shipping. Follow this LINK and check if out for yourself.

Hope you are all having a great week! 

Sexy Mama

What comes to mind when you hear sexy mama. To me, I think a hot mom. I am totally fine with those words. But lately I have been going through something as a women and a mom. I am having trouble with the way I dress. Now my clothes are fitting very nicely because of my lifestyle and all. But that’s not the reason for this weirdness. I am having the hardest time with feeling comfortable in “sexy” clothing. And I am not talking about like super reveling outfits or anything crazy. Just like low cut dresses and shorter shorts nothing super outrageous.

I did get in trouble at church for not wearing sleeves. Oops!

 Since having my son I just don’t think it’s appropriate for me. Now before baby I would wear a low cut shirt, backless, short dress like nobodies business. But right now I don’t think I can. I don’t feel like a mom when I wear that. Davis and I have always had a clear understanding when it comes to this. What I wear is my choice. No one else has the right to tell me what I can wear.  He met me wearing the clothing that I like and that’s one thing that attracted him to me so why would that change. I know you adapt and change your style over the years but hey I am still a young woman. Now I don’t judge other mom’s who dress sexy and reveling. I actually like what other women wear so it’s not like I see a mom wearing a mini skirt and think badly or anything like that.  Is it just me? 

This is before Charles. It's a shorted dress with lace so to me it was riskay..

Spaghetti straps and super low cut cleavage no biggie before baby.

I recently I bought a couple of little black dresses and I still can’t bring myself to wear them because they are to low-cut. (not my actual dresses but pretty close. Dress 1 and Dress 2) Davis loves the way they look but I think they show too much chest. As a rule for dressing I have always been on the conservative side. If I show leg my chest is covered, if I wear a tank top I wear a cardigan or jeans. So I only show skin in one of the major areas. It’s what works best for me.

Short shorts no cleavage out.

Now here I am a rule breaker, chest arms and legs. Sexy Mama.

 But now I want to wear a tank under my dress and throw a sweater or cardigan over the whole outfit. So am I alone in this? To my mama’s out there is there anything that you won’t wear because you’re a mom?

Now I'm a mom so I wear this! Lol

 I would love to hear back from some of you who have gone through a similar experience. I hope you are all having an amazing week only 2 more days till the start of the weekend! 

Meatless Monday: Pesto Pita Pizza

In our home it is safe to say that we love us some pizza. We also love pesto so I combined the two and a few other ingredients to make a tasty and satisfying meal.

It’s is very quick and easy to make. You will need pitas, pesto used store because it’s what we like. You can use what ever type to cheese you like, I am sure feta would be amazing for this. We have a ton of Muenster cheese so that’s what we will use for this recipe.

Turn your oven on to broil. While your oven is getting ready you can put the pizza together.

Drizzle the top of the pita with a little olive oil. Place it (oil side down) on a pizza tray and place it in the oven. Leave it for about 2 minutes. That will give you enough time to shred the cheese. Carefully take your pita out of the oven flip it over and add a table spoon of pesto to the top of the pizza. 

Then cover it with your cheese and pop it back in the oven for 5-7 minutes. If you want to add tomatoes or spinach to your pita pizza you totally can just keep an eye on it so for it not to burn. 

Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Now your have started your week on a high note. Hope you had a great weekend!
