First of all…can I just say how GOOD it is to be home after being gone for 4 days??! Having an anniversary getaway with the Huz was AMAZING, and I am SO thankful to my parents for watching Maya for us. But…being gone from her for 4 days was tough! They picked me up from the airport last night and as I got in the car Maya says- “MOMMEEE!! Hi Mommy! You’re BEAUTIFUL!” Granted, it was dark haha, but still…MELT MY HEART! Good to be home…
Now, onto our regularly scheduled program 🙂 I got this entire outfit one day while thrifting at Value Village with my 30% off coupon (Minus the belt. I thrifted that on a different trip). Total outfit cost me less than $20!! Rarely do I find total outfits when I go thrift store shopping. Usually, it’s a piece here and a piece there. This was a total windfall day!
Ps-Maya is sitting in the car next to me eating her sandwich 😉
These jeans are technically high waisted, but on my jumbo torso, they look more like a mid rise. 
I’ve mentioned before my love of shoes and taking pictures of shoes. These next three might be my all time favorites of the ones I’ve taken!!! 
Um, the little foot cross??!! Like I could even TELL her to do that. And the sippy cup that I didn’t quite move out of the way completely…LOVE!! 
And lastly…because this is how I keep Maya occupied while I take pics haha. Seemed appropriate to document it 😉 
She’s always loved to sing. We do this thing now, where I imitate her for a few bars until we end in a crescendo! 
Maya has been wearing this top for aver a year. It started off as a tunic, and I’m sure I’ll keep having her wear it when it’s a crop top haha. I LOVE it. And yes, her entire outfit is thrifted too. I am fairly certain the entire outfit cost me less than $10 🙂 These Joe’s Jeans are size 18 month, but I scored them for $2.50, so I thought I’d give them a try. I think they make the cutest capris! And because they super stretchy and are made for a diaper but, they totally fit her comfortably 🙂
On me…
Top- Abercrombie & Fitch (thrifted, LOVE this

Keeping it Real…
Nothing to keep real. We were away all weekend in Napa to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and my 40th birthday. It was a magical weekend filled with wine, food, relaxation, and fun. Coming home was pretty fantastic too. Only bummer is that the Huz got a last minute apt and had to stay behind in San Francisco 😦
(all pictures taken with a self timer and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
Funny story. Maya is going to start preschool next week (so excited!!). Last week, we had a orientation picnic, and there was a list of school supplies we needed to bring. Of course I waited until the day before to go to Target and round everything up. The last thing on the list was a “head shot” of your child. Of all the items on the list, this was the one thing I didn’t have! ME! The professional photographer, who takes pictures of her daughter every day. No head shot. I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I printed images out. Oh wait, yes I can. Every year at Christmas, I print out a big stack to distribute to family members. Anywho. The night before the picnic I took Maya into our backyard and got these images below. The one right below is the one I printed out. Not at the professional lab I use, but at my local drugstore… #momlife 😉
And for her reward, we ran through sprinklers 🙂
