If there is one combination that I’m always about, it’s white/cream top + jeans + (whatever shoe fits the situation)!!!
It’s a classic.. It’s a no brainer!
And whenever I find fun and “interesting” white/cream tops, I’m IN!
They come through in a pinch, and I know that I can work them in whenever!! They are always there when you need a “go to” fall back.
From the front….looks pretty basic!
Wait for it…
I’m ALWAYS a sucker for an interesting back! If you are unsure of a dress code. You can play it casual in the front, and then….add a pop of fun in the back!
A mullet top if you will 😉
I posted on Friday another post with my friend and her daughter who came to stay with us a few weeks ago.We had my parents over for dinner since they knew Laura so well.
We had my parents over for dinner since they knew Laura so well, and then decided to take some pictures, because…duh.
Love ALL THESE LADIES!!!
I remember when Kylie was 18 months old!!
SO weird…yet, she’s become such an amazing young woman!
Totally nailed the Charlie’s Angels pose!
HA!
On me…
Um…stretchy jeans?? 
I mean…what’s the good of taking pics in front of your house if you can’t have a glass of wine while doing so?
Because no matter how big, they are always our babies right??
Playing with the remote. Aka…taking a picture of herself!
Two things about this. YES, the guy didn’t realize he was walking into our shot until the LAST minute. Oh, and THEN..Maya thought it would be hilarious to pull my top down!
I have no idea what’s going on here haha.
I LOVE these shots! Her leaping into my arms and looking directly at the camera on the tripod….as if there is anyone there!
Loooooooove!!
Maya saw this picture and said “Look! We’re both twirling at the same time!!” 👯💃🏼💃🏼 I’ve tried to do this a few times and failed miserably or…comically! 😂. This time… 
And…convinced the Huz to get in a few!
She loves her Meme and BOPO!
And…this dress was made for twirling! As most Hanna Andersson dresses are! Which is why they are a favorite of ours!
Maya is all about saying “NO PICTURES! I don’t want to go take pictures!!”
And…Maya running and jumping her hand in front of the camera!
AND…my laugh. Go big or go home, right?
I came out wearing just the top and asked the Huz if he thought it was ok to wear to our neighborhood restaurant. He paused and said. “Yeah…I think so. I mean…it’s a liiiiiittle short!” 😳 He thought I was ONLY going to wear the top! 😂 😂
Maya being a dragon, as per usual…
This…
I told Maya we could do whatever she wanted for these next shots. I’ll reveal what she really had us doing in the “keeping it real”… :}
In her words when I asked what we should do…
I wish I could say that I planned this hair flip! But…nope. Total accidental catch, but I love it.
I always ask Maya what she wants us to do in shots.
The girl’s got hops!!
On me…
hahahaha. She wanted to get all up in the camera…
And…licking me yet again… 😦
Oh, and if you’ve followed along…I’m a total sucker for an open back top! This bralette is the best for coverage, and on Amazon for CHEAP! Although, it’s really only good for those of us that don’t have “support issues”. 😉
Oh, and…yes, we are totally matching, and I LOVE IT!
What I use to set my focus on, because she never stands still like this!!
And, when you are just running out the door without a shower, hats are an easy fix! 
I love wearing jeggings under short dresses! Dresses them down a little bit, and it’s a lot easier to run around and not worry about your dress flying up and….! 
Throwing her stuffy…
Omg, that face!!
Oh, and…TicTac bribes for the win 🙂 Puffy early morning no make up eyes, NOT for the win… BUT, that’s why I wore a hat 😉
I have NO idea where she gets half her bruises, but she’s COVERED in them!!
I LOVE this shot of her, but I didn’t have time to remove my tripod, so… 
Please excuse my blindingly pale legs!! I keep meaning to use self tanner, and then…
We BOTH were wearing things under our dresses, which was good, because although it was 80 degrees…it was windy!! I’ve gathered a bunch of diaper covers for Maya to wear under dresses in the summer. Size 18-24 month and 2T still fit, because she’s not wearing a diaper! Super cute and a lot cooler than leggings.
I gave Maya the choice of what we should do. I said I’d copy whatever she did 🙂 
Attempted to get a shoe shot…haha.
I can’t even handle her….so freaking cute!!
Ps-she has a mint in her mouth (bribe anyone??!), so that’s why her mouth is all puckered in all these ha! 
Looooove the back of this dress!
I was a liiiiiiittle nervous about her doing kung fu kicks in these clogs, but…not to worry! 
Popcorn and seaweed to keep her in one spot for a shoe shot, but I actually liked the one where she was lying down better! Oh, and sports came all week equaled more bruises than normal…I edited those out 🙂 
The focusing set up haha. 
And then, Maya all ready in her jammies, came out for a few!
Oh, and her nightgown is a 9-10 hahaha. I knew she’d love it, so I thrifted it for $3!!!
I can’t even…
