Even Moms Break Rules

Today was a glorious day! Filled with family and friends and a fun outfit!

After creating the world's largest lego car/train and hanging out with my cutie pies, I was going to drop them off at Lita's for nap time. So I got ready to go out for a day a visiting.

As my clothes came out of the closet I realized I was breaking a billion fashion rules. Remember when just wearing blacks and browns together was a faux pas? 

I threw on a simple black tank with my fancier version of a jogger pant. 

Fun hat with a little red bow and blue detailing. 

And some fun faux booty heels. 

After I was fully dressed I was looked at my reflection and thought, big print on my pants, with a crazy hat, and funky heels..."What are you trying to do, be Carrie Bradshaw? Come on Steph, you're a mother!" My face slowly turned into a smiley face, I loved it. Of course I did...because I love breaking the rules!!! I grabbed my purse and was ready to leave!

On the way out I looked at my babies smiling at me and laughed... Okay I'll take something sensible and grabbed my sandals to throw in the car. I love my heels and all, but depending on how the day goes, the idea of running after Brayden in stiletto's is not exactly my idea of being cute. I'm pretty sure that's a recipe for going from Carrie Bradshaw to horror movie's Carrie White. Backup sandals, check!

Lunch with Kerbear was delicious!! 

Visit with Jaclyn was super fun (we did some gardening...and I mean Jaclyn pulled vegies for me as I irrigated her lawn) 

and dinner with Lito and Lita was a perfect end to the day. 

Breaking the rules today was fun!

European Treasure

It's been a crazy few weeks since my last post, but what an amazing time it's been. Celebrating 30 in Europe was an absolutely hit. It was also a wonderful place to find a few priceless pieces that I couldn't leave on the other side of the pond. 

I'm in Missouri right now for some family time with Ryan's fam and I had to show of one piece I got. I got it on the streest of Bath. Literally, a little dress stand in the middle of the street. One caught my attention and I couldn't leave it behind. It's a little easy breezy, a little empire waist, a little fun with the design, pretty little detail around the collar...a little European treasure. 

It was a fabulous day today with my babies ( i have to say I'm loving my boys even more since I returned. If you want to appreciate your kids, leave them for ten days, and that will teach you to whine about your kids).

We went to church and I thought this outfit hit the mark because it was cute but casual enough. It's also easy to wear having the boys. Mamas out there, you know that some dresses are hard, especially with length or buttons! All the sudden you're flashing people at church or walking out of the store with your skirt tucked in your undies because you were more concerned about changing your babies diaper than making sure your outfit's in order.

To top off the dress...or to "bottom" off the dress, I threw on my new fave flats from Barcelona! Rachel, these were a fabulous find, so happy we got a matching pair!

Oh Europe I miss you already, but this outfit made me think of you fondly. 

Had to add this photo...simply because...well HELLO what a cutie pie!
