During my last trip to Marshalls they were having a great clearance sale! I made out really well and so did Robb and Grayden.

Robb didn't want to model for everyone but he got 3 shirts for $25! Not bad!

I found this dress hanging up on the rack in the dressing room and fell in love! I've been wanting a long maxi dress for awhile now but always had a hard time finding one that hit me at a good length, but this one did and was only $10!

Ever since I watched the 'Women Tell All Episode' of the Bachelor (Jake's season) I've been wanting to re-create Corries outfit! The monochromatic look is really trendy this Summer! All I was missing was the nude skirt:

I found this one at Marshalls for $15! It really nice quality and just needs to be ironed :)

And the biggest purchase of the day was these strappy shoes for $20!

The BEST DEALS of the day was these outfits for Grayden to wear next summer!
This is a 3 piece set that includes 2 shirts and a matching pair of shorts for $5!!

I also spotted this 3 piece outfit that includes a shirt, matching shorts and flip flops for $5!

I Love Marshalls! Anyone been there lately and score some good deals?

I'm loving that I finally got my cell phone fixed this morning and still had time to join in on a playdate at a friends house!
I'm loving Grayden's new haircut, it makes him look like such a big boy!!
I'm loving these new crackers my friend Lyndsey introduced me too while we were camping last week! I even paid full price for them, you know they're good if I didn't even wait for them to go on sale!!
I'm loving this song right now. It makes me so thankful to have a husband that loves the Lord and loves his family!

I'm loving that we get to head out to a Right to Life function tonight and support their ministry!
I'm loving that I can finally announce that I'm going to be a first time AUNTIE come this Winter!! Yah!!

I'm linking up with this kind of love. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!

I've gotten through a few more of your questions, i wasn't expecting it would take me this long!

Risa said... how's Paco?

Thanks for asking Risa! As of my last appt. at the end of June Paco is doing great! I go back to Mayo Clinic for more extensive testing on September 1 and 2 and that's where we can get a better idea on how the kidney is doing! But my blood work and urine samples all are looking great so thats a good start!

Megan said...Any makeup advice, you are always put together?!
Where do you buy most of Gray's clothes? (Jenn Haler wondered the same)

well thanks Megan but most days I stay home and sit in my comfies all day long and dont wear a stitch of makeup! However, on days I do get out to run errands or whatever I love to wear makeup and do my hair, etc. I recently have fallen in love with Bare Essentials make-up, it took a little getting used too and more time to apply but after a few weeks I can't go back to anything else. And I hardly ever leave the house without at least mascara, I think it makes me look alive!

I have a "fashion friday" post coming up all about Grayden's fashion :) So stay tuned!

You are so upbeat, secure and in touch with yourself! how do you do it all?

I've never been good at handling compliments, so this is a stretch for me but thank you for your kind words! I thought about this for a long time and I seriously don't know how to answer that! I think its because I love life and feel so blessed that it comes naturally to be upbeat. I try to surround myself with positive people and we feed off each other! But don't get me wrong, I often have times of negativity and self-pity, but I try to keep them short lived and not let it ruin my day.
I do have insecurities, I just try not to dwell on them and I relize that I am who I am.


Jarrod, Jen, and Gavin said... will you come do my hair??? :)
Sure! I noticed you're a Tastefully Simple Consultant so if you bring me some goodies I'll do your hair :)

And speaking of hair;
MiniMe Mom said...How do you get your hair to have so much volume? What product exactly do you use to accomplish that? Do you back comb? I know, that is really two questions, but a girl needs to know these things!
I completely agree! Its important stuff! You're gonna want to head over to this post and watch the video and read my tips on hair-poofing 101, it will change your life! Or at least your hair's life!

lauren said... Do you and Robb "date"? If so, what do you do with Grayden - babysitter? Grandparents?
Not very often! At least not just the two of us! We take Grayden almost everywhere with us and he's such a good little guy that we consider it a date even when he's along. We usually all go out for dinner about once a week. If we do go out just the two of us Gray's grandparents jump at the opportunity to watch him as well as his aunties! We've gotten a babysitter once when we had weddings on both sides of the family and it went great, we should really do it more! I really just hate leaving him for my sake, he has a blast, its me who misses him. Does that make me lame? Wait! Don't answer that!

JessieAnn said...
What kind of church do you attend?
We go to the church that Robb grew up in and its the church we were married at! Its a Reformed church but that's not why we go there or why we like it. We like it because of the church family we have there and we go to hear God's Word! It's also nice that its located just down the road from our house! Bonus!

More to come! I'm gettin' there! I saved some of the toughies for last!

We've spent the past week camping with friends at Dutch Treat! We had a great time and awesome weather! Grayden has changed SO much since our very first camping trip last year!!
He sure is busy!

swimming with Daddy!


Grady came to play one morning!

Grayden and Brooklyn before a wagon ride to the park!

Someone was hard at work during his nap ;)
After a wonderful relaxing week it was time to head home and takle the laundry and get back to our normal lives!

Grayden enjoyed being back in his own crib and took a long nap once we got home!
Can't wait to camp again next year!
