Little Mister Style #5

May 4, 2014 - Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday y’all. When I decided to give my blog a complete rebrand {the new design is live yay!}, I thought long and hard about what posts I wanted to do more of, what posts I wanted to continue to do and what posts I wanted to get rid of. One thing I really wanted to keep was Little Mister Style. I started it as a linkup and one day I might bring it back as a linkup, but for now. I just want it to be a fun post I do every week showing off fun pictures of my boys and their cute outfits. This week, I decided to match them. The fact that they are only eighteen months apart makes me loveeeee matching them! Do you match your little ones? This was on a day that they both had colds, but the weather was so beautiful that we had to go outside for just a little bit and I’m so glad we did. I love the moments I was able to capture.

Both of their outfits are from Kohl’s.

Little Mister Style Series #2

February 18, 2014 - 5 Comments

One of the reasons I started the Little Mister Style Series / Linkup is not only because I adore my little boys {duh}, but because I think it’s fun to show off their style. It will give me and them something to look back on as they get older and their style continues to change and grow. I’m sure I’ll get the “You dressed me in THAT mom!!” laughs or the “damn I was a little stud.” comments and that is something I’m looking forward to. I also don’t want the Little Mister Style Series to be something that is forced. If my boys don’t want to pose, that’s fine I’ll catch them in their natural element like I did for these pictures and that is totally fine by me. I think I get way better pictures that way anyway. Another reason I started it, is to get them comfortable and confident in front of the camera at a young age. Let’s face it, taking pictures and being in pictures has become so wildly popular and I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon and unlike me, I want them to be able to jump in front of the camera and smile and be silly without any problem!

Let’s jump right in.. Jay was the only one who got in on the style post last week and let me just say, he loves knowing he is actually apart of something on my blog, that he is doing something because I asked him to be a part of it, instead of just the normal posts I write about him and his brother! I think it’s so sweet!

Kage’s shirt – Walmart I believe
Jay’s Shirt – Kohl’s
Both of their pants – Kohl’s
Both of their shoes – Walmart

Little Mister Style

February 11, 2014 - Leave a Comment

I love dabbling in fashion, you know this if you have been following my blog for a little while. Well, I went on a little hiatus from my what I wore posts because I swear it was just the same outfits and I was getting tired of it. Over the weekend, we finally got our shop on! #woowoo I am totally bringing back my fashion posts soon, but in the meantime I did some shopping for the boys. It was one thing dressing my boys in cute little toddlers clothes, but now that they are getting bigger, especially Jay, and he is wearing little kid clothes, his style is really coming out and I thought it would be fun to do a little weekly post showing off my boys style. Lets face it, women and little girls fashion is fun and cute, but boys can totally rock some great styles and I’m bringing that to my blog. I even made this a link up this time and if it catches, I’ll continue to have it as a link up! Let’s get started!

Today, it’s just Jay. Kage wasn’t in the picture taking mood and I love that Jay was and how he had no problem letting his cute little personality come through!

Shirt, beanie and pants are from Kohl’s // Shoes are from Walmart.

Did you show off your little mans style?! Link it up below! Make sure you grab a button to put in your post!

Why I would be perfectly happy with another boy

June 3, 2014 - 13 Comments

When we found out we were pregnant with our third child, we couldn’t wait to share the news with our friends and family. They have been beyond excited for us and even my fellow bloggers and blog readers have been offering a huge amount of congratulations! We feel the love! One thing that seems to keep coming up though since everyone found out is… people either assuming we want a little girl or “Are you hoping it’s a girl?” At first, I didn’t say anything except to my husband that I would be more than happy if we have another boy. Once I came forward and told family and friends this, I’ve gotten… “Really?!!!” “You NEED a little girl.” “But girls are so much fun.” “You’re missing out.” or complete silence. People have acted like I’m crazy for saying I want another boy. {Let me go ahead and say, we would be thrilled if it is a girl, but no, we aren’t hoping and praying it’s a girl, we are hoping and praying for a happy, healthy baby}

To answer these questions & statements I have received:

“Really?!!” Yes, really. I love having boys. God blessed me with two amazing little boys and I have so much fun with them. The bond between a mother and son is incredible. They are my little princes and to them, I am their queen. I love everything about having boys from the messes they make to the sweet way they still curl up next to me anytime they can or wrap their arms around my neck and whisper “I love you mommy.” God knew what he was doing when he gave me boys and if this time he wants to give me a girl, then that is perfectly fine, but if he wants to give me another boy to make it a trio of boys, that’s perfectly fine too.

“You NEED a little girl.” Ummm, I’m glad you think so? Really, If I needed a little girl, God would have given me one and he still might, but the point is, God knows what I need and he knew I needed these two sweet boys.

“But girls are so much fun.” I KNOW they are. I have seven nieces. I know how adorable girls are and how fun they can be. I also grew up with two sisters. I’m not “girl deprived” as everyone seems to think that I am. What you should know though, boys are fun too. If not more fun than girls. Yes, I said it. My boys have an absolute blast and I have a blast with them. I may not be playing princess or letting her wear my shoes, but I’m making mud pies, building huge buildings & knocking them down, wrestling around on the floor at the most random times of the day, throwing the ball, playing video games, laughing until my sides hurt, locking up the “bad guys”, having water gun fights, getting dirty, and so much more. Boys are a whole different world of fun and I am so beyond thankful I have two boys to share that fun with.

“You are missing out.” This one irks me the most. What exactly am I missing out on? I’m not missing out on love, my boys fill me with so much love that I feel like I will overflow with it. I’m not missing out on a bond, I know that a bond between a mother and her daughter is wonderful {I have that bond with my own mother}, but the bond between a mother and her sons… nothing compares to that. I’m not missing out on laughter, my house is filled with it. I’m not missing out on shopping, I love picking out adorable clothes for my boys. I’m not missing out on sweetness, my boys constantly amaze me with how sweet they are. The random hugs & kisses, the random I love yous, and the way they care for others. I’m not missing out on dreaming dreams with a daughter because, I dream those dreams with my boys. I listen to the dreams of wanting to be a fire fighter and a police officer. I’m not missing out on teaching them to value themselves and respect themselves because, we teach them those things. Boys don’t just come magically equipped with confidence, they too have to learn how to have it. I’m not missing out on dress up, my boys love to dress up as ninjas, police officers, and firefighters. They also love putting on the most random pieces of clothing {santa boots, underwear, shirt, cowboy hat} and making me laugh hysterically. I could go on forever with this one, but I’ll stop there.

Last, but not least… Being met with complete silence. I get it, it may shock you for whatever reason that I would want to add another boy into our home, but instead of not saying anything you could say, “Oh, that’s great. I hope it’s a boy!” or “Either way, I hope it’s a happy, healthy baby.” Or “I don’t know how you handle boys, but if you can handle more, go for it!” Don’t just say nothing because your silence speaks volumes.

One last thing, if you know someone who already has x amount of one gender, it’s okay to ask them what they are hoping for, but don’t give them the “are you crazy look” or a pity look or anything else. Be supportive of them and wish them a happy, healthy baby no matter what the gender is.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few mothers who have all boys or all girls and they are perfectly content with having all of one gender and you should be perfectly content for them too.

Mother nature has lost her mind and other life things

March 3, 2014 - 5 Comments

Today Jay doesn’t have school because of the crazy ass weather. I’m convinced mother nature has officially lost her freaking mind. It was 80 degrees and the sun was shining as bright as it could and we ran errands and spent lots of time as a family and then yesterday it was sleet and snow and freaking 30 degrees. Today it feel like -1 and it’s super cold and sleet is still on the ground. I plan on taking full advantage of this no school day and getting lots of work done and spending lots of time with my boys. Lets get on with the life lately…

I love the super cute packaging my earrings came in from Cloud Nine Designz // Artsy Anthropology is talented. This is the fourth product I own from her and I love them all and use them regularly! // The beautiful anchor earrings that were in that cute box. // Jay took his job of helping Hubby fix the broken drain and messed up dishwasher. They got it fixed and we didn’t have to drop $500 on a dishwasher!

I saw this beautiful chandelier at Home Depot and i WILL be owning it. Ignore that price tag, I know it looks like it goes to that chandelier, but it doesn’t. The chandelier is only $99 and I want it so freaking bad.

My crazy hair // The sleet starting to cover my driveway. // Jay has a huge love for books and it makes my heart so extremely happy. // Kage decided to decorate daddy’s face with stickers and it was adorable. It just reminded me how good of a father her is, I couldn’t stop smiling.

Caught Hubby & Kage on camera while I was getting ready. // Kage being a “doctor.” It’s always so adorable when he does. // A little selfie. // Getting ready to work this morning. The background picture is from Dig Deep Studio.

How has life been for you?

p.s. get your posts ready to linkup for Little Mister Style tomorrow.
