{style files} more stripes

I wore: Striped dress from Target, Gray T-Shirt from Gap, Shirt from Motherhood Maternity, Vintage Belt, Silver Birkenstock's and Kenneth Cole Sunglasses

yes, i am so not back to my pre-pregnancy weight... yet! i will get there, slowly. 

This past weekend we went to a festival called Christmas in the Woods. Not the hubby's favorite thing to do but it was fun and got us out of the house. Lots of Christmas decorations and crafts. Beautiful weather, family and yummy food :) 

Just look at that Apple Cobbler. That could be why I'm not back to my pre-pregnancy weight yet ;) 

Best of all: I got to wear more stripes ;) I'm just a little bit obsessed.

Baby L had a great time too. He was very interested in the cobbler. I am really trying to exclusively nurse him for 6 months so he's just gonna have to wait a little bit longer with the solids.

Awkward

• Picking monster boogers out of my little guys nose. It's funny how once you become a mom things like that don't even phase you anymore. 
• Your neighbor calling you to tell you that her son will install a camera in an apple tree right next to your house because he wants to take some pictures of deer during the night and not to be alarmed by a red flashing light... Oookay. 
• The dog eating a pacifier yesterday... Really??? She eats stuff a lot. Like vacuum cords, paper, toys, dog beds, pens, anything plastic really. Oh yeah and she drinks coffee out of our mugs. 
• Entering a one-way street parking lot at a restaurant the wrong way and then being forced to steal someone's parking spot because well, you simply couldn't go anywhere else. Whoops ;) 

Awesome

• The sun is back :) It's even warm outside. People are mowing again. It's almost like summer returned. Getting to soak up the sun and hoping she sticks around through the weekend cause we got some plans :) 
• Watching your hubby be all cute and cuddly with the little guy.  
• Breastfeeding :) We are so good at it now and we do it everywhere, haha. We are not afraid! 
• Sleep training Baby L. We started putting him to bed while he is still awake so that he can learn to soothe himself. He is doing great so far. Doesn't cry for too long and sleeps so much longer. What a relief :) 
• Finding out that wonderful friends of ours are expecting their second child next May. What a great time to have a baby ;) 
• Getting to have lunch with those friends while the little man was being the perfect baby. Yay for getting to enjoy a meal without interruptions. 

{style files} rainy day

I'm wearing: Ralph Lauren Tweed Blazer, AE Plaid Shirt, JCrew T-Shirt, LOFT Jeans, Knee Socks from Sockdreams.com and Hunter Wellies. The Little Guy is wearing Oshkosh B'Gosh and 77Kids Beanie. 

Yes, I need a haircut and color. I am making an appointment for next week, promise. I'm one of those girls that started going gray at age 15!!! No kidding. I am afraid to know how gray my hair would be if I didn't color it. Color doesn't stick to those coarse suckers for more than 4-6 weeks and I've been going well over 2 months now. Last haircut was right before the little man was born and then I managed to throw some at-home color on like 10 weeks ago... 

I honestly have the worst relationship with my hair ;) It is pretty flat and dry and I don't have too much of it to begin with. A couple of weeks ago I tried to recreate a hair style off of Pinterest... Not a good idea. I ended up realizing that I simply don't have enough hair to braid the sides and pull the rest into a bun. My bun looked more like a hummingbird's nest. Bummer.

Do any of you have any experience with hair extensions? For fullness, not so much length. 

In other news, we went Antiquing on Sunday. It was cold and rainy and the hubs said I only wanted to go out because I wanted to wear my new Hunter Boots. No way... Not this girl ;) 

This rainy, cold weather is giving me more than enough opportunities to show off those boots. 

Seems like we went straight from August into November here in PA :( 

Wishing you all a sunny day :) 

last week

We went out of town and spent some time in the mountains in West Virginia. It was nice to just relax and enjoy some time away from everything. Unfortunately, the bubs got his first ever cold from his grandpa :( Poor thing is still coughing. The snot that comes out of that tiny little nose is unbelievable... ;)

hunter boots

My Hunter Wellies finally came and I have to say, I love them :) I can't wait to wear them this week so bring on the rain ;) 

They also didn't have any of that weird residue on them that I had heard about, just in case you were wondering.
