March Goals

Thursday, March 3, 2016

Currently it is 1:40pm and am trying to drum up ideas write this post ;)
Do you ever have those days that you can come up with a million topics that you want to write about, but then when it comes to typing them out you have nothing?
I am having one of those days :(
But today I am scratching all those ideas and going with a good ole' list post!
#whenindoubt #gowithalistpost
Make smart food choices
I mentioned on here last week that I was food prepping for the 21 Day Fix.
As of today, I am on day 4 and it feels great!
I love getting back to eating smaller portions, better foods, etc.
My goal of course is to keep it up after the 21 days and throughout the summer.


Workout at least 5x's a week
I have said it a million times and I will say it a million more...I LOVE to workout!
Fitting it into my work/life schedule gets rough though.
There are usually 2 days a week that Mic works late, we aren't home, etc. that I miss getting to get a good workout in.
Otherwise I would be saying 7 days a week :)
Plus, with having a pool now I want to always feel comfortable in my bathing suit.


Get the backyard ready for summer
I haven't had a pool since I was a kid, so I am slightly giddy over the fact that we have one now.
Of course that means daydreaming of pool parties, grilling dinner by the pool, etc.
However, we have a lot of work to do before I am inviting anyone over!
We have plans to pull out all of the weeds, flowers, plants, etc and just reseed it with grass.
I would have to have someone spray for mosquito's too since we live in a damp area in the woods.


Spring clean the house
Just like the backyard, I want to get the inside of the house cleaned up.
We still have so much we haven't truly unpacked since we moved in officially in November!
I want to open the windows, let the fresh air in, and get the 40 years worth of dog hair and such out.
It wouldn't hurt if we had a company come spray for spiders, ants, bees, etc.
I am not ready for any of those little friends.
Who am I kidding, I will never be ready for them!

Do at least 1 activity with X on Spring Break
Because I work a full-time job I don't get to spend the week with X when he is on Spring Break :(
I am hoping to plan a couple activities in the evening, on the weekend, and maybe, just maybe, convince Mic to let me (or both of us) take a day off for some week day fun!

Who knows what we will do, but I just want my little guy to have the best time :)


And that my friends are my goals for the month.
I have quite a bit to get done, but hopefully with the weather slightly improving each day we can make it happen!
And if it doesn't, there is always April ;)

Ps. I have no idea why the font size is changing throughout this post or why some things are bold and others aren't.
I didn't change a thing!
Crazy!

Sunday Best | Easter Outfits

Wednesday, March 2, 2016

I can't lie, as a kid my favorite times to go to church were Christmas Eve and Easter.
I always loved the service, but I especially loved that everyone dressed up a bit more than usual.
My grandma always got me a new dress for each of those services :)
I still remember the all white dress with navy blue trim and matching hat!
And don't forget the shiny white Mary Jane's!
Oh my, did I love that outfit!

So with Easter coming up at the end of the month, it got me thinking about what we are going to wear.

~Mic~
That guy of mine loves pastels!
This pink gingham Banana Republic Shirt is perfect for him to wear to church and work.


And it would go wonderfully with these Banana Republic White Pants!
Another thing Mic likes, and isn't afraid to rock :)

He has some cognac loafers that would complete the look.


~X~
There are so many cute dress clothes for boys!
My kid doesn't seem to like them though :(
If it has buttons I can barely get him to try it on!
But in a dream world he would love all things with buttons and wear something like this below :) 
X's favorite color is orange, so I think I might have a chance with this Children's Place Polo!


 But if it is chilly, we might need to go the long sleeve route with this Children's Place White Button Down.

However, if I could convince him to wear this fun plaid shirt I would!
Of course we would pair it with some simple Children's Place Pants

and some crisp white kicks and the outfit would be complete :)

~Me~
I tend to stick with dresses, and this J.Crew Factory Dress is right up my alley!

Toss my go-to Denim jacket over it,

and throw on some cute Wedge Sandals or

peep toe Booties and we are ready for church or brunch or wherever Easter takes us!

And now I feel the need to go shopping! lol!
Do you usually dress up for Easter Sunday?
What is your or your family's style?
