One Shoulder Cotton Jumpsuit + Birkenstocks (basically PJ’s :))

Pictures originally taken 5/29/2020 (playing catch up!)
I only posted one image of us hugging on Instagram, and never posted the rest of these.  It was in the height of the horrific events that were happening at that time.  You can read my original post from that day on our instagram page.
Two of the books I read that were very eye opening and helpful were.
I didn’t feel like posting these images at the time, and then…they just never got posted.  I wanted to make sure I got them on here though, because I love them.

I still can’t decide if I’m keeping this jumpsuit. It’s SO cute, and SOOOO comfy, but….not that flattering. Oh, well.

Words taken from Instagram post on that day.
Maya has been asking to wear off the shoulder tops, and I said…NO!

I’m so not ready for that!! I did tell her that she could pick what we wore, so I guess I have to.

BUT, THEN…I remembered that we had this jumpsuit, that I thrifted for her a few years ago, but…still have. OMG, yay me for hoarding!!! And, it’s not so bad….?? I’m SO not looking forward to the battle of what’s appropriate and what’s not!!! HELP ME!

Playing catch up as per usual now…Originally taken 5/22/2020

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

Well….this is pretty much how this week went.
☔️☔️
All the plans were good intentioned. 😏
Originally I was going to do this whole… “White button down jeans ‘classic look’! Post”! I even stupidly thought I could pair a bunch of different shoes with this outfit to show how versatile it was!
🤣🤣
All the plans did NOT go as planned. Let’s be honest…do they ever? Even pre-quarantine??? However… Most of our plans were salvaged by having fun. They are usually not what I had planned, but…they are US.
❤️
And for me…if the fun is not documented, I’d be huddled in the corner with my wine glass in the fetal position crying.
🙈
It is SO easy to remember and dwell on the bad parts of the day.
BUT…for some reason. Capturing US having fun during the shit show gives me joy.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
And, I’ve said it before, finding joy right now, is CRUCIAL!! SO…I will continue to do so.
🙌🏻
EVEN WHEN IT STARTS POURING the minute we step outside!

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

If there is one style trend that is having it’s moment right now, it’s the jogger!

I love this pair (I have them in black too!) because they are made out of a dressier fabric. They can be easily dressed up for a night out (HA! What’s THAT?! 😂😩), or down for a night in…aka every night. 😏

Since they are kinda baggy, I like to wear them with a tighter top. This tee is a little boxy, so I tied it in the back. Normally, I tie tees in the front, but this one is a little shorter, and nobody needs to see THAT!
🙈
Oh, and nice to know that Maya hasn’t grown out of the licking phase…geez. Thought that was behind us. Swipe for some #outtakes 🤣 #LKkeepingitReal
Happy almost Friday!!
I may be failing at homeschooling… 🙈
•
BUT, I will say that we are both good at having fun (in between the yelling about the homeschooling!) 😂🙈😬
•
It’s such a constant battle for me. Balancing fun and “work”! I myself need an equal balance, so it doesn’t shock me that Maya does too! Don’t get me wrong, schoolwork is being done!
•
But…
•
In the end…fun will always win out! And in my mind will always be the winner.❤️
•
Scroll to see me trying to emulate Maya’s amazing hair shots. I look like a troll pencil topper! 😂DYING. 🤣🤣 And…holy ROOTS! 😳🙈 and, behind the scenes videos of us taking these pics. It’s a MIRACLE we get any shots 🤣🤣

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t feel comfortable shooting on our sidewalk.
😬
TOO many people walking by!
🙈
The other night…FOUR families, and I’m like…don’t mind us?
🤷🏼‍♀️🙈🙈
Yeah, that’s not only weird…but disruptive (to the families out enjoying their walk I mean!!)
😕
SO…our backyard patio it might be for a while…
😬
And OMG…we had SO much fun!!
😂
We took some behind the scenes videos, because…nobody was there! Lots more in our stories! 🤣🤣🙈
YUP, this is what’s happening when we take pictures. It’s basically a MIRACLE we ever get any good ones, BUT…at least we have fun!
😜

When life gives you leaves!
🍂🍁(🍋)
Make the best of it!
Don’t make “leave-o-nade” 🤣
(Sorry, that was so bad!!) 😂🙈 I spent an hour yesterday sweeping these up, to then come out and see this today. 🤬
Soooo….
😏💃
I didn’t take any pics on Mother’s Day…
For the first time in 9 years.
😒
I’d love to say that I made the conscious decision to be “present” and “enjoy the moment”, but…
🙄
Truth be told…On Sunday I was not the best mom, Maya was not the best daughter, and it was just one of those days that you want to put behind you. Unfortunately, it was Mother’s Day.
😏
That’s one of the things I HATE about special holidays. It’s ALL this PRESSURE to be the best, pick out the best gift, do ALL THE THINGS. Be on your best behavior.
🤬🚫🙅🏼‍♀️
OH, and during a PANDEMIC??!! 😳
BUT… in reality…the week BEFORE, I came out of my shower to notes written in the steamed mirror from Maya. Endless giggles over silly filter games on IG stories. Amazing dinners made by the Huz EVERY weekend.
❤️❤️❤️
And magical nights playing in the leaves during the golden hour in our back patio.
THOSE are the days I want to remember. They were ordinary days that were amazing.
✨💫❤️
THOSE were my “Mother’s Day”, and I’m SO lucky that it’s not a singular day!
❤️ #lettertomiscmaya
I honestly meant to take this shot as a #TwoShoesTellaTale but…her sweet face could not be cropped out!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also adding some of her in the magical light! I try and not post images of just her, but these are too good, and I want to remember them!

I’m so torn with my caption for these images… My heart is heavy. A dear friend is experiencing one of the most heart wrenching heart aches a mama could endure… 💔❤️
Our state just issued another month of stay at home.
😷
We celebrated our two month “Quarantine-aversary”. TWO MONTHS?!
😳
SOOOO many emotions!! And I know it seems insensitive to post pictures of us having fun, but honestly…I need to do this for my sanity… even if it’s just us running I front of our house for 10 minutes. It gives me a bit of joy in this time of…well, not.
😥
BUT…the one constant joy is this sweet nugget’s (she’d kill me if she knew I used that nickname) attitude. She sees friend’s having playdates (which honestly kills both of us a little), yet keeps the most positive attitude. She understands why we are doing this, and I’m SO proud of her.
❤️
Also wondering…why don’t they do “mom dances” at weddings?? I’m SO pushing for it, because…I mean. 💃👯‍♀️

Anyone else feel like they are riding the wave of emotions right now?
The last few days I’ve been an emotional basket case.
I’ve been cranky.
I’ve been overwhelmed.
It’s SPRING BREAK!
BTW, I was SO not going to tell Maya (judge me if you will) but we both do better with some structure and a schedule!
Then…We ran (literally she was on a run and we chased her down for a few blocks, I kid you not-I regret it now!) into M’s teacher. It was all sunshine and happiness, until her teacher said “I hope you enjoy the rest of SPRING BREAK!”

Me 🤐😑
Maya 😳🤔

And then-Maya “Oh, I am NOT doing any schoolwork this week!”
Me… The end.

BUT…it’s FRIDAY! We made it through! I cried all my tears! Literally.
BUT, I feel that we all need to do what brings us joy right now!
In the realms of being safe. ☺️. Maybe not healthwise…sorry,we can be healthy and detox later… 🍷 JOY!
For me…things that give me joy?

Style challenges! Sooooo, here’s @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge

“Wear that sheer item with ought having to worry about the right undergarments”

Honestly, I’ve always LOVED the wearing any color bra under a sheer top, but..I wouldn’t usually do it at my age (45).
BUT…whoo hoo! IT’S FRIDAY IN QUARANTINE! 💃
Even though two of my neighbors walked by as we were taking these…don’t mind us. #DitElleBehindTheScenesVideo

Originally taken 4/12/2020 (Playing catch up)

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

Happy Easter!
 🐰❤️
I’m over here LOVING the theme for the @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge right now.

Oh…April 12th “Wear your most nightgown-like dress or dress-like nightgown.

DONE and DONE.  ✅✅
We made it out just as the sun was setting, but…came back for bedtime already in our jammies! 
Maya was like “should I change?” Nope! Just take off a few layers! As will I!
 😂
We had a somewhat chill day. Started off with baskets of goodies, and an Easter Egg hunt in our front yard. (See stories) Then…it was pretty much day as usual. Thankfully it was such an amazing day here in Seattle. Sunny, yet still chilly. We got in our two walks and Maya got in a bike ride while I watered all our plants.

THEN…the Huz made dinner. Which is basically the holy grail as far as I’m concerned!
 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
Happy Easter to all of you. I hope you found positives in the day, and enjoyed your family time.

But…to be honest. Dinner went late. We came outside to take pics as the sun was setting, and Maya ran off to video it. Like…where are you going?!!

Um…??? 
Then she comes back and it’s literally dark. Don’t mind me….trying to take some Easter pics.

So pretty tho!

Swipe to see…(It’s in our stories, obviously)

An Odd Twist On Wearing Your Cardigan + Basic Tank + High Waisted Levis + Vans

Well, I got my days messed up (imagine THAT!? 🤣🤪) for yesterday’s (I mean todays?🙃) @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge.
•
The challenge for TODAY is “Tie a sweater off-center around a blazer or a tank.” Well…I remembered it wrong too, because this isn’t exactly off center, BUT….it’s a different way to wear a long sleeve cardigan, so can we just go with that?
 😅

I love the fact that it looks COMPLETELY different!!  Yet…I love both the looks.

I’d never have thought of this twist if it hadn’t been for the challenge, but I love it!
