Feed the Birds

We just watched Mary Poppins and the print of my skirt reminded me of the "feed the birds" scene. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have noticed this skirt unless it had a bird on it, right? I amuse myself...

This post isn't about my skirt though, it's about the super cheap belt I bought at Forever21...I may be slightly addicted to belts. I think they add a fun pop of color to my outfits and they help define my waist (which has been missing for a good portion of the last year!).  Also, in case you haven't noticed, I'm pretty petite and my dimensions don't really show in a lot of my clothes so belts help draw the eye in at the middle to show that I'm not shaped like a block...errr, at least that's my thinking...I'm not a fashion expert so don't quote me.

Nik really enjoys planing with the dirt in the backyard...such a little boy!

I absolutely adore his little sailor suit...I need to make him one for when he outgrows this one.

Get Your Motor Running!

It's not even the middle of January and I'm already dipping in to my clothing budget...crazy, huh!  What can I say??

Last year I had my eye on this skirt, it's just so fun and cute with tiny cars and tools all over the fabric.  I wanted the skirt but I decided to hold off and wait.  Threadcase just had their New Year's sale so I decided I should get it since I still loved it and it was on sale(!!!).

When my package arrived I opened it to find this lovely hand written note.  I smiled as I read it to myself.

I do love my new skirt!

The baby thought it looked too clean and could use a little banana on it.

These boot are water proof and the have great traction.
