<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back at blogging, I can't believe I've been part of this virtual world for so long. Lolly was 18 months old when I started blogging. She just turned 9! Wow! And H.G. will be turning 3 next month. Time flies when you're having fun (or one is just plain busy!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been thinking about getting back to blogging for a few months now and have finally committed to doing so. I have so many things to tell you, new fun discoveries to share and many family activities that I'd just like to document for posterity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's catch up first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lolly is 9. NINE! Fourth grade and yes, she's just as tiny as she's always been. It's been difficult the past couple of years to dress her like a big girl (now tween) while she's been fitting in size 4s and 5s. She finally hit the 6s and 7s and we're into.... (big sigh) JUSTICE. It's not that I have anything against Justice. It's just expensive (for the quality) and thankfully my child (she is my child after all) has no issue with buying the same $29 shirt at TJMaxx for $7.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You heard that right....my sweet girly girl is a tween. Which means I have very little say (to a parenting point, of course) as to what she wears. She visited family in our ole' sweet home, Kentucky, this summer and before she left she removed all her Lilly from her closet and put it all in H.G.'s closet (you heard that right, she REMOVED ALL HER LILLY FROM HER CLOSET!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't complain. She is her own person and she is incredibly bright and kind. I would trade fashion choice any day for her kind, loving, God-fearing heart. She is an absolutely incredible person and her daddy and I are SO proud of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways....on to the catch up pictures.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love critter print dresses. When the print is small enough, you get just the right look without going over the top. I have an Elizabeth McKay dress with giraffes from several seasons ago and I love it. I also have frogs (Lilly Pulitzer). Most people can't even tell they are animals until they really get a close look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this dress from </span><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-dresses/4130275527361.jsp?cm_mmc=LS-_-Affiliates-_-QFGLnEolOWg-_-1&utm_medium=QFGLnEolOWg&utm_source=AFFILIATES&utm_content=QFGLnEolOWg&siteID=QFGLnEolOWg-L7ufKrAZct4u_qNNnr8weQ#/"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anthropologie</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. I spied it on another blog and at $188.00, I figured I'd wait for it to go on sale.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one is Maison Jules from Macy's. AND I got it on sale for $39.99. I LOVE the look and how it fits. And it's so versatile. You can wear it with or without a belt, with a vest, with a teardrop long necklace or short necklace (like I'm wearing), with boots, flats or heels. It really is a fun dress.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The necklace and matching earrings I picked up at Steinmart to go with my Easter dress earlier this year and the set is perfect for this outfit. I'm also wearing David Yurman, Nine West nude pumps (similar <a href="http://www.ninewest.com/Orissa-Peep-Toe-Pumps/13637295,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&variantColor=JJC48J8_1&cgid=8346256&prefn1=catalog-id&prefv1=ninewest-catalog">HERE</a>) and carrying my <b><a href="http://www.toryburch.com/york-buckle-tote/22149613.html?start=13&dwvar_22149613_size=OS&dwvar_22149613_color=210">Tory Burch York Tote</a> </b>(my briefcase and catch all).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of Lolly's early Santa Claus gifts was a set of foam curlers. I had no idea how this would work and was afraid it'd be a flop. It took about 5-10 minutes to put them all in and then she slept in them.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I get to the actual Christmas Day pictures, Santa came to visit the neighborhood to see the children and deliver presents. H.G. was SO intrigued by the big truck with lots of lights and noise. I love her expression.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> But once Santa arrived, she was quite apprehensive so Mommy came to the rescue.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> Wow! A teddy bear (which I might add she has formed a special connection and hasn't slept without it since!)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By now, I should be all snug up in a bed in Kentucky, all cozied up in flannel pjs after driving through the night. Hopefully granny and grandaddy are up for watching the girls for a few hours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If not, we'll still be driving as we had stopped off for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Give us good vibes as the weather is not going to be anywhere close to favorable for this trip!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So Merry Christmas Eve!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I posted my OOTD. Comfortable for travel while still be stylish when stopping off the road for meals. Plus, I had to stop into the office briefly, so I didn't look to underdressed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things to do is stalk fashion blogs. Of course, I generally can't (or don't want) to spend the kind of money some of these bloggers do on their outfits, so I like to<span style="font-size: large;"> Spy It, Buy It</span> and copy the looks and styles. <span style="font-size: large;"> Fashion on A Dime</span> I guess you'd say. Yes, I like to splurge here and there but most of us have to be real as we can't afford to look like a runway with brand new Prada,Louis Vuitton or Tory Burch bag, shoes, outfit etc. every day of the week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I wore yesterday and we'll concentrate on the booties. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I adore the Tory Burch Fulton Booties. But I just splurged on a pair of Tory boots that were "bad on sale" as I don't think I'd spend $550 on a pair of boots.

<span style="font-size: large;">Last weekend we headed up to Orlando and stayed at the Gaylord Palms hotel. If you haven't heard of it, it's a huge hotel in Orlando, not associated with Disney, that has wonderful Christmas festivities for the family. There is an <i>Alpine Village</i> where they showcase a walk-through winter wonderland, so appropriately and simply named, <i>ICE,</i> as the entire village is made of ice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we bundleded ourselves up, including H.G. Underneath all of this she's also wearing a heavy coat, sweater and gloves. We Florida people don't take too kindly to 9 degree weather!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning Y'all! We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend, really didn't do much of anything other than prepare the Chevy Suburban Sleigh for our Christmas trip north. It was nice intentionally planning nothing as we were not stressed at all trying to squeeze everything in on time!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning Y'all! I am super excited about a nice weekend at home with nothing to do except pack for our Christmas trip, have a simple order-in pizza dinner and game night with some friends and church on Sunday. Nothing else for this busy holiday season! Yay! Well, Santa is coming to see the girls on Sunday, but we don't have to leave our house for that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's my casual work OOTD. Going for casual prep. Keep in mind I've recently recycled my winter wardrobe (I mean, I wear winter clothes for 30 days a year, fifteen of those days being up north). Most of the new things are wrapped in packages under the tree. And, by noon the sweater will be shed because it will be 75 to 80 degrees out. Anyways, Husband said he thought argyle is out of style. Maybe it is for women as I couldn't find many similar styles so I just don't know. Argyle is certainly in style for men! That's not a problem. I still like it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple days ago, I talked about how I desperately needed to get my hair fixed as it had been well over the 6 week mark (ehem....four months, oops). And I have really been looking for another style to frame my long face. My perfectly long and straight hair with no volume was making my face look very long and thin and I wasn't liking its look. Lolly loves the video by Taylor Swift <i>Shake It Off</i> and I love Taylor's hair at the end of the video. While I don't look like Taylor Swift (as bluntly pointed out by Lolly this morning), I do like the style. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">By the way.....I don't like selfies of my face unless it's a group shot with friends and family. I just don't like how I look in them. I took 45 pictures to get this one. Still not happy but just look at my hair. What do you think? Taylor Swift-ish????</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Steve really needs to go to puppy school. That is daddy's responsibility. I take the two humans to school, he can handle the puppy. In the meantime, here is what our sweet and curious Steve is up to these days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Husband and I were watching our beloved Wildcats play basketball earlier this week. Steve had snuggled up with daddy on the couch (which we really need to decide if he's allowed on the couch or not...another story for another day). All of the sudden, Steve spots H.G.'s duck. Steve loves this duck. It has wind up wheels so it will zoom across the floor thereby making Steve think it's a fetching toy. So, Steve loves it and will fight for it against the 14 month old human. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier in the day, I had set the duck in the middle of the coffee table away from Steve's grasp. While laying on the couch, he sees the duck and jumps up from his cozy spot next to daddy to cautiously step onto the coffee table. From where I'm sitting, I grab my phone as I know this is going to get really good. Steve looks at me like "So....is this allowed or not?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I didn't move, he assumes it's allowed and he moves in closer to sniff the duck. "Yep, that's H'G's duck all right."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in South Florida with my parents. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and not chilly but not hot either. We spent a good portion of the day outside playing while the turkey was in the oven and Husband and Grandpa Geezer put up Christmas lights on the house.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zAzLbsp7ccw/VIhY9xd8HVI/AAAAAAAAJq4/BnCO0EEpsqg/s1600/10524218_10152828983148286_2220303052247523321_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zAzLbsp7ccw/VIhY9xd8HVI/AAAAAAAAJq4/BnCO0EEpsqg/s1600/10524218_10152828983148286_2220303052247523321_o.jpg" height="640" width="424" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Husband nearly cried when he saw this picture. Lolly is getting SO big. She is an AMAZING big sister. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How, how many one year old children do you know that cry when you're LEAVING the bounce house. Not many. Except this one. She LOVED the bounce house and cried when it was time to leave, trying to claw her way back inside. I took her out when the bigger kids started going wild. H.G. would have held her own as she's a little bruiser underneath all of that southern bonnet goodness, but she doesn't understand crazy, wild big boys in a bounce house!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I said, my parents were in town for Thanksgiving. We went out to dinner the night they arrived. Poor dad didn't get the memo that he was supposed to wear pink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nqQnskvxpBE/VIhY8kBP6dI/AAAAAAAAJqc/LpTCbadH9So/s1600/10374507_10152817264783286_2696186561888520276_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nqQnskvxpBE/VIhY8kBP6dI/AAAAAAAAJqc/LpTCbadH9So/s1600/10374507_10152817264783286_2696186561888520276_n.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Saturday before Thanksgiving, Lolly and I packed some Thanksgiving meals for the local elderly and sheltered folks. I always jump at the chance to volunteer with Lolly (which there aren't many volunteer opportunities for children around here). I feel that Lolly needs to learn just how blessed she really is and what better way to do that than to serve those less fortunate than us. I think the sooner she learns this, the more appreciative she will be of the life she does have going forward and the more apt she'll be to continue to help others later on in life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was very proud of her. She was very stand offish at first and I thought it was going to be a lost effort. I mean, it really took some time to even get her into the action (mostly her being shy). But she finally jumped in to help me and then later, took on some bag packing of her own and with other volunteers without my intervention. Proud mommy alert....right here! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last but not least, there is some confusion in our house as to what toys are puppy toys and what toys are toddler toys. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do not worry, full mouth and pacifier sanitizing took place immediately after. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Though, we do have a puppy and a toddler, so who really knows?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, a puppy and a toddler. WHAT WERE WE THINKING????</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few days ago, a good blogger friend of mine, Melissa over at</span> <a href="http://www.dreamsandcolour.com/2014/11/inaugural-fashion-jennifer.html"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dreams and Colors</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, asked me to send her some fashion ideas for her father's upcoming mayoral inauguration. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was thrilled to help and enjoyed putting together a couple outfits for her to peruse.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a mixture of cold and hot here. Two days ago it was 89 degrees and today it's 59. So we're breaking out the cold weather clothing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We took Lolly shopping this past weekend. She's had the same winter clothes for three years (she's just a tiny little peanut). But she has grown in inches and in age so off to the mall we went. And we came home with several grown up outfits that make me tear up when I see her in them. She said "When winter comes, everyone is going to see a whole new me." Excuse the mess. The fashion show took place in H.G.'s room.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And on one of those hot days, we introduced H.G. to her first pair of flip flops. It took a few minutes but she got the hang of them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We've been having issues getting chores done in the morning and evenings. Lolly is a very task-oriented kid. She loves lists. So I made her this list and purchased her a clip board to decorate. She carries this with her each morning and evening and it's amazing how quickly and efficiently she is now getting things done. And no complaints or whining! In a few weeks, hopefully she'll do this without the check list as it becomes habit.</span></div>

Southern Living: Preppy Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15980788934203692603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-1939775450625887282014-11-10T05:30:00.000-05:002014-11-13T09:19:39.947-05:00Favorite Facial Products<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hear me out....it's a process. :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a long while since I've posted anything about facial products and makeup. My cosmetic tray and bath countertop has been a revolving door for facial products for about 6 months now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For long before and during my pregnancy with H.G., I was a wonderfully loyal Bare Minerals fan for two, maybe three years. I mean, I had the stuff on auto-ship every two months. I loved their mineral powder and still do love a couple of their products. But after H.G. was born and of course, the resulting extreme change in hormones, my process from cleansing to making up was just not working anymore. I found that the Bare Minerals in combination with my cleansing regime was not holding up to my standards and my skin just wasn't looking as bright, clear and clean as it used to. I was looking like.....well, I just had a baby and having a hard time recovering. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After some trial and error, I recently found that "sweet spot" of cleansing steps which changed the chemistry of my face even further (before makeup). I loved how my skin was looking and feeling and that South Florida, always sweating and making my face shiny and break out feel.....was gone. So quite obviously, I wasn't willing to change that step. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now my new cleansing and moisturizing regimen is not cheap (at least for any normal non-celebrity person). I thought Husband would flip when I told him how much I wanted to spend. But he surprisingly responded that I need to take care of my skin for the long term as we do live in South Florida and he "doesn't want to have me aging prematurely and looking old at the age of 50." Hey, he was telling me his honest to goodness thoughts. Most women, would happen to agree. So, if it weren't for the fact that this stuff is like magic for my face and if I had a single doubt, I would not be purchasing it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, since I'm spending a fortune on the cleaning regime, I wasn't willing to spend a fortune on makeup. I cancelled my Bare Minerals order, have run through a few over-the-counter products and have found my sweet spot of makeup. Keep in mind that I wear very little makeup. Primer, foundation, mascara and blush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, anyways here's a run down of what I'm currently using (and loving!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE my Clarisonic. I want to say I've been using this product for about 4 years now. Regardless of the products, I can tell a very NOTICEABLE difference when I'm using it. If I go for a few weeks without and then jump back in, the difference really is amazing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qFaqjcRfVyE/VFzMZiwDyZI/AAAAAAAAJnM/eSWm5CK0Djk/s1600/PLUS_Side_1000x1000_Lavender.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qFaqjcRfVyE/VFzMZiwDyZI/AAAAAAAAJnM/eSWm5CK0Djk/s1600/PLUS_Side_1000x1000_Lavender.png" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now here's the crazy expensive cleansing and moisturizing regime. Rodan and Fields Reverse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE THIS STUFF. Within just a few days, I noticed a difference. My face is smoother, cleaner, brighter and I can really tell a difference in the sun and age spots. It's good stuff. Like I said, if I wasn't just in love with this product and had a single doubt, I would not be using it. I use the face scrub with my Clarisonic, smooth on the toner (letting it dry completely) and then I use the Dual Active Brightening Complex. During the day I follow with the broad spectrum sunscreen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W33Ss5fP30w/VFzMaCVdQ-I/AAAAAAAAJnY/Sg-pEFWPrbQ/s1600/Reverse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W33Ss5fP30w/VFzMaCVdQ-I/AAAAAAAAJnY/Sg-pEFWPrbQ/s1600/Reverse.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ashleigh LOVES Smashbox products. So I took a stab. I purchased the Photo Finish Foundation Primer. It truly helps keep my makeup in place. I forgot it one day and I could tell a difference. And it's so light I can barely tell I'm wearing it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_1V7WOsOg6I/VFzMaU61HvI/AAAAAAAAJnU/IZ_tr78YdwQ/s1600/Smashbox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_1V7WOsOg6I/VFzMaU61HvI/AAAAAAAAJnU/IZ_tr78YdwQ/s1600/Smashbox.jpg" height="320" width="205" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the one Bare Minerals product I'm still using. Well Rested. I love how it completely wipes away the dark circles under my eyes and truly makes my skin looks well rested without giving a sheen or shine. It certainly lives up to its name.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T-BROGC2uNA/VFzMaorJ5kI/AAAAAAAAJnc/RUG-QmAj5wQ/s1600/Well%2Brested.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T-BROGC2uNA/VFzMaorJ5kI/AAAAAAAAJnc/RUG-QmAj5wQ/s1600/Well%2Brested.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You're going to laugh at this next one. It was a total shot in the dark "this looks like it might kind of work" last second Wal-Mart purchase while I was picking up some craft supplies....total impulse buy. I absolutely LOVE it! L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. It truly is a liquid powder. It feels like a powder but covers so well and you can barely tell you're wearing it. It is not a thick foundation by any means but it covers well. It has that Bare Minerals feel that I grew to love, but works with my current face chemistry. I've never used L'Oreal, ever. So I'm very pleasantly surprised.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xTWViU8FaAY/VFzMZhYcx_I/AAAAAAAAJnQ/aqlI3QA1tfY/s1600/Magic%2BNude.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xTWViU8FaAY/VFzMZhYcx_I/AAAAAAAAJnQ/aqlI3QA1tfY/s1600/Magic%2BNude.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried lots of blushes and finally decided a blend would likely be best. My cheek on the left side of my face seems to have just a very slight divot under my cheekbone making it difficult to smooth on blush. Sometimes it looks like a line that I can't get rid of no matter how much smoothing I try. I picked up Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Blends and I really like this blush. It blends very well and I don't find myself wiping excess off because I over applied. The other night we had a formal gala event and I actually found myself trying to add more blush rather than take away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-hrqhOHE50/VFzMZrbyq3I/AAAAAAAAJnI/15mkqX-wjgQ/s1600/Healthy%2BSkin%2BBlends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-hrqhOHE50/VFzMZrbyq3I/AAAAAAAAJnI/15mkqX-wjgQ/s1600/Healthy%2BSkin%2BBlends.jpg" height="320" width="265" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For mascara, I've been using Cover Girl's Bombshell Curvaceous Mascara. I use the #1 side for daily wear and then I use both #1 and then #2 for a night out and special events. I have very few eyelashes, so they could use all the help I can get! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0cxkV0Qn7d8/VFzMbCot5hI/AAAAAAAAJnk/7iNcjn64_O4/s1600/mascara.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0cxkV0Qn7d8/VFzMbCot5hI/AAAAAAAAJnk/7iNcjn64_O4/s1600/mascara.png" height="320" width="247" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there you have it. My current regimen. So, how long do you think this run-down will last?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I love my beach pants I got from the Lilly End of Summer sale. LOVE them. We were on a cruise boat for a friend's birthday party and once again, my photographer friend brought along her fancy dancy camera and took this shot. She always get the best pictures! I can't wait to see the girl's Christmas pictures and H.G.'s one year pictures!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple more pictures from Halloween. H.G. had outfits for Halloween for every day of the week thanks to Lolly's stash of clothing. I had purchased her this outfit well in advance and it nearly didn't fit as she's grown so much! She looked like a chunky candy corn,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Splat the Cat and his friend, Seymour the mouse! While this was 100% Lolly's idea, mommy and daddy had to step in and assist with the pipe cleaners. After all, we had to stuck nail holes and shove pipe cleaners all over the pumpkin. Lolly helped for sure! </span></div>

U.K., our precious golden retriever passed on in December 2013, when H.G. was only a few weeks old. We will always hold him very dear to our hearts and he will never be replaced. We have received a new dog in our lives, named STEVE by Lolly. Hey, it stuck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is a golden doodle and he's SO adorably cute! He is really a live teddy bear. He's so happy and snuggly. The first few days he came to the office with me to hang out. After all, he is a puppy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls LOVE him. Well, when they're not being treated as chew toys! And there seems to be some confusion in our house as to whose toys and toys are whose. Needless to say, Steve's food is now in another section of the house where H.G. cannot get to it. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am just in love with a few special clothes I can afford to splurge on this go around. Even though Husband and I didn't really know if we wanted a second child, I managed to keep everything from Lolly's use. And I mean EVERYTHING, right down to unused diaper baggies! So, I was able to splurge on a few things here and there for H.G. since I didn't have to buy an entire wardrobe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I'm not a huge fan of Halloween. I've been the last minute pick-something-up-like-a-tee-shirt-at-Target Halloween person. Husband and I just really could not care less about the holiday and would rather just skip it. But, for the kids, we buy costumes and candy and carve pumpkins and all that jazz. However, you really won't see any over the top outfits, days worth of Halloween clothes and pictures and decorations. Lolly has resorted to making her own decorations for me to hang since we don't have any and "don't have plans to buy any." She was not thrilled. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, I'm happy Halloween is on a Friday night this year. That means no rushing to get trick-or-treating in before bed (and school the next day) and our neighborhood (which we all happen to be quite close friends) is having a little block party. My neighbor always makes Mojitos for everyone! I obviously couldn't have one last year, but this year, yum! :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways, moving on. H.G.'s closet. These are all just for fun, Thanksgiving and Christmas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ALL the bows (which I'm disappointed you can't see them better) are from my good friend Kristie over at </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyLittleFloridaGirl?page=3"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Little Florida Girl </span></b></a><span style="font-size: large;">on Etsy.

It's really cute.<br /><br />I'll have to go through Lolly's closet and show you the things I've purchased for her. Her Turkey Day outfit isn't here yet and I need to work on her holiday wardrobe. Thankfully she still fits in everything from last winter! We barely wear winter clothes here so everything is in great condition. Will need to pick up some new pants though since she's grown 3" since last year. Oh! And I need to show off my $5 Lilly Pulitzer dress deals! Now THAT is a shoparoonee! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />Happy Thursday Y'all!</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">Every year, Lolly's school has a Fun Run Boosterthon. The kids run as many laps up to 35 that they can and then pledges in the amount of $1/lap are raised. Lolly always runs all 35 laps and without stopping. If gymnastics doesn't work out she may have a career in track!</span></div>
