Momma's Day

8 weeks and counting...I get 12 weeks of maternity leave. It's flying by. I'm so thankful to get all this time with my bebe. Work is overrated. :) Love being home with my littles. Yeah, some day it's hard as hell, some days I can only handle one kid at home; I have zero time for anything, but Roan is growing fast and starting to get on somewhat of a schedule. We're getting there. And when they're sweet, it's so extra awesome! Granted, there are moments I could pull my hair out. Stay at home moms have the hardest and most rewarding job ever!

If I was fortunate enough to stay home I'd probably become a shopaholic! I've seen so many great things while browsing through catalogues in between feedings & laundry, running by stores and eye balling colorful threads on my 'one hour' errands when alone. Glad my body isn't quite back yet. Well, not glad, but you know...a new piece of something always makes you feel better. I'd have spent my credit limit in the five minute browsing trips! Great stuff this season!

I made it into Anthropologie the other week. It was perfect, Roan was asleep in the stroller, Rory was at daycare, I had one hour to shop. I grabbed several cute things and lots of sale items to try on. The second I got into the dressing room my little man started screaming. :( ready to eat...again, really, you just ate? I had no time to indulge. sigh. I'm not one of those people that can buy without trying on.

Mom's day is coming... how cute are the goodies below? As much as I wanted to try on those clothes, some colorful jewelry would feel good too! I should have checked it out while I was at the store.

These days, new stuff AND actually old stuff is like gold. I cannot even find my summer shoes. Basement remodel, moving rooms around, tiny little closets, I have things stuffed in corners, in the garage, in bins, under beds...the joy of bungalow living. :) I need a month and a shopping spree to reorganize my wardrobe. Creating extra space and $ for a new little bean is well worth it though. Love being a mom :)

Happy Mother's Day week!!!

Retreat

This morning I received an email about a yoga retreat in Bali. I think it's a sign. I've been wanting to do this for years now. Anyone want to join me? Maybe a closer destination and obviously a later date. Sounds amazing. Meditation, yoga, organic food, spa, maybe a little beach time...

I tried to get my Zen on last week at a prenatal yoga class. It's not Bali, but it sure does my body good. Ran to my car after a much needed hour of bliss during a rainy evening. Turned the key and it sounded like Nascar. OMG...yeah, my car was making that noise. My husband was convinced someone stole my catalytic converter. (The device that converts the toxic exhaust into less harmful compounds. They are stolen frequently around the city.) What? I was furious! Who does that? To a pregnant woman, while in yoga! My $15 class was going to cost us our insurance deductible. In daylight, when we were able to check, he realized it was a part to the muffler that went bad (something like that), thankfully cost much less. I felt guilty for cussing out the not-so-perfect neighborhood, but still, I was robbed of my peaceful moment. Honestly, this stuff happens to me often so I thought for sure it was my luck.

Another week, another class. I think I'll go for a Sunday afternoon this time. After baby, I'm shopping me some new gear and getting my vinyasa and hot yoga back on. Have you been to lululemon yet? A store opened close to us. I'm anxious to get in there.

Love the stripes! Here's to getting daily peace back into my life.   :)

Some favorites

Liking... again with the grey (the clutch, the earrings, the pants, the boots, wish list, watches, kitchen). I cannot help but gravitate towards this color as of late. The kid's room will have it too. My entire home is turning grey! :) Needing comfy mocs and a cam bag though. I threw in the color for some change.
