{What I wore: Mommy Style}

In the past week or so I have done 2 things that have helped me a lot.

1) I chopped my hair. SO much easier for me to take care of.
2) Invested in eyelash extensions..best decision ever. The illusion of make-up with NO effort.
Seriously, if you are in the Fresno or Sacramento area let me know! I will hook you up with Christina.

I still have the postpartum body..
but I haven't done anything to improve it..
so I guess I should stop complaining.


Outfit #1 - Running Errands
Shirt - Ross {$6.99}
Jeans - Old Navy {on sale $10}
Sandals - Goodwill {$4} 
Scarf - .99 cent city :) {$1}
Total for the outfit: $21.99
I think was the first time I wore skinnies without boots... can I pull it off?



Outfit #2 
Shirt - The Limited via Goodwill - $2 
Skirt - New York & Co via Goodwill - $2
Necklace - A booth at a local carnival - $3 (I think)
Total for the outfit: $7
I really liked this outfit at the time.. but realize from the pictures I need a body shaper haha. 

I have really enjoyed thrifting and going to garage sale hunts lately. 
I can get gently loved name brand items for next to nothing. I'm sure Jason appreciates it too.

I'm linking up here and here.

{Easter 2012}

Kenzie made out like a bandit. You can't see her blinged out Easter tote but it is CUTE. 


She totally looks like her Dad! 

We had a really low key Easter Sunday. We went to church and then came home to make our feast. 
We made ham, potatoes au gratin & corn. It was delicious. 
It was a perfect day... just the three of us. 

PS: Jason only has 3 more weeks of school!! I am so excited and proud.

{We bought a house}

We bought our first home at the end of March! We are thrilled. 
It's a 3 bedroom 2 bath with an open floor plan. 
We are so happy to have a place to call our own. 
More pictures to come. 

{Kenzie: 6 months old}

      {This was Kenzie's 2nd time on grass.. as you can see..not really sure about it }
Nicknames: Kenz, Boogie, K, Z
Weight: 20lbs 2oz - 97.7%
Height: 2"4'  - 98.42%
Her pediatrician said she was the size of the one year old she had seen earlier in the day. We love our tall squishy girl.. but it's not so fun to be carrying her around!

Kenzie can sit up by herself... but if she falls over.. she's down.
Rolling over is old news for her... she flips back and forth constantly.
She is our smiley baby. Really.. she's happy most of the time.
She loves to eat (errr..drink milk) and slobber on everything - I'm sure this is fairly typical.
K still takes about 3 naps a day... nothing consistent though.
She is NOT sleeping through the night.. she goes down at about 9pm and wakes up at least once before what I would consider morning.
She pretty much skipped 9 month clothing and is sportin' 12 month gear... I still try to squeeze her in some 6 month and 9 month outfits!
She still only likes her milk.. we have tried a lot of different foods with her.. but she doesn't like it.
She is MOVING... not exactly crawling but I put her down in once place... and come back and she's on the other side of the room.
We have discovered that Kenzie is pretty social.. she loves people. We went to see the easter bunny and she was so excited... I hear this is when they start to develop 'stranger danger' but I have yet to see it.

I tell Jason that I wish we could just pause her at 6 months because I really just LOVE this age.

{Kenzie: 5 months old}

5 months and growing. {Yes... I know this is WAY late}
Wearing mostly 6-9 month with some 12 months pants!
She is rolling over like a crazy girl.
Loves to bounce in her bouncer.
Still loves her bath time.
I've given up on sleeping through the night.. it's super hit & miss.
BUT she does like to sleep in... when she does.
She hates anything but milk! We've tried cereal and sweet potatoes but no luck.
