Pretty Necklaces

I've been dreaming of new jewelry. Something fun. And of course, easy to wear!! When you become a Mommy, you suddenly realize, life has to become more simple. No more complicated shoes, or jewelry. And it should be "baby friendly!" There were more times than not, when my kiddos would use my necklaces as teething tools.



Isn't this a fun necklace? I just LOVE how interesting it is. Without being too overwhelming. Or boring.



And I just adore the birds on this necklace!! How fun is this?? Oh my goodness! I really wish I could find this necklace. Both of these necklaces, were found on a recent Google search. With broken links. :(

Has anyone seen necklaces like this? I would adore wearing one. Something fun and stylish. I want one. I would like to buying one. Or two! ~Maggie

Momma in Red

My hubs and kids, spoiled me this year!! I must have been a good girl. ;) My Mother's Day was so fun!! And relaxing. Filled with lots of love, fun presents, and the people I love. :) First up, are my presents. Because I really didn't expect them!!



Don't you just LOVE this dress? I do!! I like that it's a dress that I can wear casually. Or I can dress her up!! The style of the dress is so fun. So is the name of the dress....Red-y for Inspiration. Late last night, my hubs told me, it sorta reminds him of when I wear his shirts to bed. :)



Oh, and not to be outdone, is this lovely dress!! I just adore the style of the dress. The print is just AMAZING!! Oh, the Red-y for Tea Dress, is my favorite new dress!!

Can you see why I feel so blessed? And spoiled!! On top of all of this, my hubs gave me some beautiful flowers. My kiddos made me the most adorable cards, and a cake. :) My hubs cooked up a yummy breakfast in bed. At church, they showered us Mommas with prayers, little gifts, and tons of love!!

We also had a BBQ at our house. With all our favorite dishes. Cooked by my hubs, my Daddy, and my Daddy-in-Law. :) It was just such a fun day!! And it makes me feel like, I'm doing a good job with my own kiddos. Sometimes, it's just nice to know, that we're not ruining our kids. That we are actually doing a good job in raising them!! ~Maggie

Sweet Surprises

Don't you just love little gifts. From out of the blue? Like they've fallen from the sky? Come on, you know you do!! And I do too!!

You see, I just love to get mail!! With all my heart. :) Lizzie, Audrey, and I have a little routine. Every day, just after Sesame Street, we head outside. And wait for the mailman. Yes, we love mail that much!! My parents and in-laws are amazing, and send our kids little cards and trinkets all the time. Just because. :) For me, well, it's a fun thing that my cousin and I do. Especially now, that she lives 1000s of miles away.

We wait for the mail. And gleefully go through it. It's been such a long time, since our mail, actually has been put in our mailbox. My cousin not only send me letters, and little treats, she sends things to my kiddos too!

But today was extra special!! I found a package on our doorstep. Can you tell, I wasn't expecting it? Because I had taken Lizzie and Audrey to the library. When we got home, the last thing I expected, was a package. A package from ModCloth. With this beauty!!



Yes, my cousin knows me well! What a beautiful gift to receive!! Just in time, for Spring. Thank you Lola!! You truly are the best cousin, anyone could ask for! I just can't wait, to go on a date with my hubs. I have something extra cute to wear. :) ~Maggie

Love Mom :)

My Mom is pretty amazing! She's got to be, the coolest Mom ever! And the Best Grandma!! My Mom did a great job, of getting me hooked on shopping. And my love of all things vintage. :) I've been thrifting, since I was a wee one!

My Mom also knows, that I love to wear dresses! I was most definitely a "dress girl" when I was young. For a few years there, I fell out of love with dresses. That's when they became "special occasion" only items. I was in middle school, or high school. Thank goodness, I fell back in love!! And my Mom noticed. :)

Every once in a while, my Mom surprises me with a new dress. Usually some gem, that she's found while thrifting. She's even begun this, with my girls. Recently, she picked up the cutest dresses, on a thrifting trip. Today, she surprised me with this beauty!



I hadn't even seen this dress yet. I don't know where I've been! But I've gotten my Mom hooked on ModCloth too! And from what my Dad tells me, my Mom is now spending a lot of time on ModCloth's website. :)

Don't you just love this dress? It's the perfect color of green. And that daisy detail, is just lovely! I can't wait to wear my new dress. The best part is, my Mom wrapped it so beautifully. Wrote me the most heartfelt note. And left it on our doorstop. She must have come over, really early in the morning. It was the best way to start my day! Thank you Mom! I love you too! ~Maggie

I Bow You One!!

I am, and always will be, a big fan of high heels! But we need to be realistic around these parts. I chase after 4 kiddos, every day!! High heels, just aren't going to do it. Not when we're running through puddles, collecting bugs, or crawling on the grass.

I had a few more gift cards to spend. And I'm trying to get ready for warmer weather. It's that weird part of the year. We're between seasons. Some days, we're bundled up in sweaters, and winter coats. The next, we're running around in shorts and sandals.

Well, I went poking around ModCloth again. And I found these beauties! I just adore these colorful bows. A little bit of fun. That I just bought. :)



My hubs thinks I'm nuts. I get up early, to make him breakfast. And get our kids up, ready, and fed, before school. But here I am, buying shoes. Yawning. And wishing I could go back to bed. At least for another 20 minutes! ~Maggie

I Heart Heels

I have a problem. I enjoy ModCloth a little too much! Just ask my hubs. :) Literally, 3 or 4 times a week, I go to their website, and drool over their clothes, shoes, and accessories. It usually happens late at night. After the kiddos go to bed. When my hubs and I, are getting ready or a sweet snack. And some TV time. Here are 3 pairs of shoes, that I'm eyeing right now!



These Cinnamon Scones Heels, are perfection! A great neutral shoe. That could be paired with so many great outfits! Oh the possibilities!!



How about the Petunia Heel? This would be a fun and dressy shoe, to add to my closet! I love the shape of the heel!! The cutouts are wonderful. :)



My favorite pair has to be these Raise Your High-Gloss Heels! Oh my goodness!! I'd honestly LOVE to wear these. I might just have to pull out my last few gift cards, from Christmas. :) I could picture these with a nice, ladylike black dress. A fun white dress in the Summer. A pencil skirt would be lovely too! Yes, I have to buy these shoes! ~Maggie

It's Still Christmas Around Here!!

I don't know about you, but around here, it's still Christmas!! Our decorations are still up. :) I'm going with the thought process, is the church still has Christmas decorations up, so do we. Doesn't that sound logical? Well, it's just a nice way, to keep such fun and happy decorations up!!

I also have a few gift cards, to spend. Some of my friends and family, know all about my love of ModCloth. And gifted me, some gift cards. I've had trouble, trying to figure out what to buy! I have so many favorites! But tonight, I bit the bullet. And ordered this gorgeous number!



What do you think? I honestly, couldn't decide. For days, I've sat at the computer, trying to make a choice. I feel like my kiddos, when they're standing in the toy aisle! :) But I thought this dress, would work right now, and well into Spring. Perfect for Fall too! It's a nice dress, that can be worn, for a large part of the year! Oh, I can't wait for it to get here. Let's not even begin, to talk about the gift cards, that I still need to spend. :) ~Maggie
