Don't forget those nails

Buying clothes can make a whole in your budget real fast, so if you don't want to feel like you are wearing the same thing over and over and over again, invest in accessories.

Necklaces, earnings, sun shades, shoes, purses, bangles all of those are super fun to mix and match to get a whole new look. 


Lately nails have been my go to accessories.

 I just love a pop of color.



I just love that you can wear something simple like jeans ans t-shirt but having your nails done, give you the feeling that your outfit is more complete. 

Here are a few of my favorite shades for spring 

CoverGirl outlast in Papaya 

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lively Lilac

Better then therapy

Just half an hour away....

To have sand between our toes


To smell that salty air and hear the waves crash on the shore


To see some beautiful sunset


We should do this more often.

The full experience of motherhood

Am I the only one that is noticing that motherhood has been having a bad reputation.

Things like this seen on pinterest or facebook are all over the place

link to this quote here

I agree, motherhood isn't the easiest calling, but wait is there any job that is "easy". 

Like any other job description, motherhood have a long list of duties are are sometime icky. Remember the time all of your kids got the flue at the SAME time and your whole house smelled like puke, your laundry machine wanted to take a break, and when you had to get out of bed so many time that you lost count thinking "I did not sign up for this"
Found this on fb, can't find the direct link to this picture, sorry.

How about the fighting, bickering and the whining, they do not make you "feel good" because they are sometime never ending and you can't cross the "end a fight and they never fought ever again" on your to do list.

True, motherhood is a never ending job, that has is moment of grossness, and don't forget those sleepless nights. 

But

There is always a but...

Without motherhood, you would never know

  • What unconditional love feels like, understanding the love of our Father  
  • How love does not divided itself, but  how it multiplies
  • How amazing a growing life is
  • How sinful you are, because they do tend to mirror our actions don't they!


And

Yes, there is also a and...

Without motherhood, you might forget

  • The freedom that comes when playing games, using imagination. How it melts the stress away.
  • How pretty and fun blowing bubbles can be.
  • How amazing our surrounding is. Kids are closer to the grounds, they see things that we might not notice, and they sure love to share their discoveries. 
  • How about those silly songs, cartoons and candies that we enjoyed in our youth, without kids we might not have the opportunities of having a second chance of experiencing them all over again.


Overall, motherhood isn't so bad, isn't it?

How about you, what are the up and down motherhood is teaching you right now?

Nothing like the smell of summer

What does summer smells likes to you, fresh cut grass, coconut sunscreen, flowers, the smell of the beach?

Today was one of those days, that it smelled like summer. And so was our first trip to a sandy beach



 Feeling the sand between my toes was like therapy, loved every minute of it, well until the rain showed up. I even enjoyed that rain.

Summer, please stay a long time this year, we love you

Spring into fashion ~ Fashion Friday

Spring is a fun time of the year, when the weather is warmer and you can ditch the coat, hats and gloves.

This spring started with beautiful warm weather for a few weeks but then the rainy days came afterward, and the temperature dropped too.

What to wear to face the ever changing spring weather.



Short are fun this time of the year, but sometime with unpredictable weather, wearing a pair of nylons help keep you warm. I like bright colors, can you tell. I think this spring, stripes are very pretty.

Accessories are always fun

I'm wearing big loop earnings, and a cute bird and pearls eggs necklace from Vintage pearl


and a cute pair of black shoes


I don't wear a huge amount of makeup, but with spring comes spring allergies that makes me have really bad dark circles. Haven't found the right concealer for me yet, I hate them if they make my under  eyes look cakeky (is that even a word) and wearing glasses does not hide it.

I keep it simple, am wearing dark mascara ~ organic wear mascara in Ultra Black, it make my eyes look bigger and brighter.

On the lips I like a soft lipstick, with a little bit of sheer and shine ~Revalon colorburst lip butter in Sugar Plum is one of my favorite this spring.

I sometime go crazy on the nails, love that pop of color that they bring. I am wearing covregirl outlast stay brilliant in My Papaya, it's a gorgeous color that makes you smile every time you see it.

And with spring comes new hair. Yes I got my scissors and did something crazy like cutting my bangs all by myself.

Mother's Kryptonite

There is not much that can stop a mother, we do what needs to be done no matter what. But, we all have a weak spot.

Speaking for myself being sick is my Kryptonite.

 The kids seems to have extra energy when mother as very little, and for some reason my body acts like a uncooperative toddler and my brain like a mother that won't back down.

 Here is an example (Imagine me with spring allergies, a common cold and adding to the mix being THAT time of the month. Yes oh joy!)

Brain That pile of dishes won't clean it self, better get up and clean them now before they get dry and crusty

Body but this chair is so comfy.

Brain the longer you wait, the longer it will take to clean them.

Body Ok Ok, lets go. See I'm standing up, putting one foot in front of the other. Look a comfy couch, must lay down NOW. Eyes getting heavy, very heavy.

Brain don't you dare are fall asleep now!

Body I'll show you brain. Here is a headache.

Brain  haha, you can't stop me. Did you forget to pay that bill that is do in 2 days, what are we eating for dinner, did you reminds the girls to feed the fish, did you got the laundry out of the washing machine, did you did you did you????

Body and Brain : Girls it's NAP TIME!!!!!!


How about you what is your Kryptonite????
