What a busy weekend....

Saturday night the Superhero celebrated his 8th birthday with his friends playing Laser Tag!

There was so much going on that I failed to take any photos.

BUT

I did manage to get a photo of the cake!

Bedroom Makeover for the Princess

This project remains a work-in-progress

My husband is on labor duty and I am on shopping duty!

Sunday morning I headed out with the older two kids to pick out the perfect shade of pink.

This ended up being much more difficult than I had imagined. There are SO many shades of pink!!The Princess and I picked out what we thought would be just the right color.

Oh.My.Gosh.

It looks like bubble gum is splattered all over the walls! 

Each time we enter the room we feel like we are entering a candy store on crack.

Would you like a lollipop?

The most important thing, though, is that my little girl absolutely adores it.

She is in love with the color.

Whenever we have guest over, she immediately directs them to her room to show off the new color.

 She is so proud of it.

I suppose it does fit her personality. It is bold, loud and sassy!!

Mr. Monkey is experiencing some major ear pain.

Poor little guy has the worst ears.

He had tubes put in both ear canals over a year ago and it appears that we are headed back to the O.R.

He keeps his little finger in his ear and says "it hurs momma, it hurs".

OH.MY.GOSH.

Breaks my heart.



Oh.My.

Today I have found myself asking “when did I turn into the type of girl that purchases.cheap.shoes?”

Somewhere along the way I traded style for comfort.

I started buying cheap shoes that really aren't very stylish.

Shortly after arriving at work this morning, one of my shoes just fell apart on me.

Like, literally, gave up without a fight.

Leaving me with, not just a minor broken shoe, but a shoe that will no longer get me through the rest of the day.

Ohhhh, it's classy ladies. So classy.

Going home is not an option, as it is too far.

There are no stores near the office.

**Sigh**

What’s a girl to do?

I tried to be thrifty, but lets get real, I am no thrifty girl.

I tried tape.

I tried staples.

I tried more tape.

Not scotch tape. I’m talking about surgical tape.

Then I tried a safety pen. And, yes, that worked.

Yea for the safety pen, right?

I just keep telling myself “It’s better than barefoot” but I’m not convinced yet!

Well at least I provided humor for those around me today.

Today I’m the girl with sad and pitiful shoes. Oh the humiliation.

But the bright side to all this humiliation is that I am going shoe shopping this weekend for a pair of fabulously expensive new heels!

A Prissy Princess & A Baseball Boy

This afternoon the Princess and I went shopping at a local children’s boutique.

I simply adore this shop, as does she.

My daughter is such the little shopper.

She loves picking out things to buy. 

Of course, she is very much like her Momma, always heads straight for the most expensive items!

The store is set up with a sweet little area for the kids to play, which allows Mom to shop in peace. She had a ton of fun playing tea party and was so sad when it was time to leave.

Here are some of the items we purchased today....

She looks so sweet in this outfit with her brown bouncy curls.

This white dress is so soft and just perfect.

She looks simply beautiful in it. She fell in love with this dress.Here is my Prissy-Sassy-Princess before we ventured out today.

She had been playing in my makeup bag shortly before this photo was taken!

Meanwhile, across town, my baseball boy had his first game of the season.

Isn't he handsome????

His team won, 12-2.

Way to go, Superhero!



Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

Fight the Frump

Ladies, it is time to Fight the Frump with a new handbag.

I have had handbags on the brain lately.

I *adore* handbags.

I said in my previous fight the frump post

 that a girl can never have enough shoes….

well this time it is handbags.

A girl can never have enough handbags.

This is one of my handbags that I adore....

It holds everything that I simply must take with me everywhere I go.

And, as a mother of three, well, you can only imagine. I love summer time purses.

I love the colors and different styles.

Here are a few that left me drooling....

Well, Hello Yellow!

I'm just lovin yellow this spring.....

Oh la-la, this red Dooney & Bourke would match those Red High Heels!

~~~

So, what do you think....Do you like any of them?

Do you have a favorite handbag, one that you just can't live without?

 

Do you need a new handbag....any plans of going shopping soon???

What brings out the Sassy Girl in you?

Is it a tote, a shoulder bag, a satchel, a hobo, an evening bag or a clutch???

Let me know ladies, I can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Fight the Frump

Ladies it is time to Fight the Frump with some Red High Heels.

I'm talking about some Sexy Red High Heels. A pair that will cost a fortune and only be worn with that certain special outfit. A pair that you would only admire from the store window but not actually purchase. Now for me, this is difficult. The hubs ~ He does not like High Heels, especially on me. This is just awful because I am so short and I love wearing heels. Now for the most part I am all about making my guy happy, but sometimes I have to do something for “me”.

I have always had a shoe fetish, I simply adore shoes.

I firmly believe that a girl can never have enough shoes.

Although, you would never know it by looking into my current closet.

Once I became a Momma I traded in my Stilettos for more practical Mom Shoes!

*Ugh*

Why is that?

Why don’t I say to heck with it and buy that pair that are screaming at me to buy them?

I would look hot in those shoes!

So, this week I’m going to Fight the Frump and buy a pair of Red High Heels. The hubs would maybe like these because they are a shorter heel….
and I do like the polka dots inside the shoes! Click here for these adorable shoes

He wouldn’t like these, but I think they are classy….

Click here for these adorable shoes

Heck ladies, the shoes don’t have to be Red ~ Just buy some shoes!

I do believe that Kellie Pickler says it best in her song Red High Heels.

Yeah, you know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me

In my red high heels

Have a Fabulous Friday Ladies
