Oh hey look! There’s those jeans and boots! again.

I am seriously getting kind of sick of just wearing jeans. I even had a real-deal offsite meeting this week and went to my closet for my favorite pair of slacks only to remember they’re in my “take to the dry cleaners” pile. Then, all the rest of my slacks I had in my closet are too big. Jeans again. WOMP.

Last weekend Tracy tweeted about a great sale at OldNavy.com so I went there, found some cute not jeans, but not quite slacks, tried to buy them and the website crashed. Lame.

#1…I’ve actually stuck to doing a weekly thing on the blog for 5 weeks straight now. Crazy right!? Oh, the other thing I’ve stuck to is our weekly dinners.

#2…I really have to share the entire, original, unedited photo here because seriously? My back yard rocks. And also? A gorgeous sunset was happening.

#3…Ok, here’s the outfit.

#4…I love my Tiffany’s necklace…my very best friend, lovingly referred to as Bestest, gave me this as my bridesmaid gift for her wedding.

#5…HOLY CRAP I have fingernail polish on! The last time that happened was at said best friend’s wedding over a year ago! I polished them for the halloween party we went to last weekend but actually think I like it for maybe more than just weddings and parties. We’ll see…

#6…Tomorrow we’re going to see Disney on Ice – Toy Story 3 and I can’t wait!! Ry could kind of care less as she says “Toy Story is for boys” Whaa?? Crazy kid.

It’s the weekend folks! Hooray!, right!?

This week I took a photo almost every day but none of them turned out…it was getting really frustrating. I was able to snag this photo one night after work.

Ok, let’s talk about this outfit for a minute…or, well, nearly all of the outfits I’ve posted thus far. Almost all of my clothes are more than year(s) old. That cami? Yep, pregnant with Ry…4 years ago! The blazer? I bought my senior year of college…so that makes it over 6 years old. The good thing is, I still mostly love them all, and they’re all new to you guys but really…I think I need to refresh some things.

And there’s those shoes again. Apparently I’m in love with brown this fall. And apparently I need to get new shoes.

Ok, well, that’s a lie…

I’m not really a big deal, but I do have big exciting news!

{no, I’m not pregnant}

I was recently asked to become a contributing writer for the blog “Liberating Working Moms“!

Liberating Working Moms, or LWM, is all about sharing what being a working mom is all about…“Ultimately, we are a group of moms, trying to get the word out about all the trepidations and rewards that come with being a working momma. It’s liberating to share our journeys of figuring out what works, what doesn’t, and what’s simply best for right now. Though the guise of this blog is under the working momma category, we hope that all moms will find something to read. Because really, all moms are moms. We all struggle. We all have rewards. We all need some advice. And we all have antics to tell about.”

You might remember this post I did about my {lack of} mom guilt. Well, I recently submitted an article for another guest post and Tracy asked if I’d like to come on board as an official contributor! Of course I said yes!!

This means you’ll find me over there a few times a month (along with some other fantastic & talented working mamas)  talking about routines, the coveted “me time”, day care woes, sharing quick weeknight recipes…pretty much all things working-mom. Of course, I’ll still be holding down the day to day over here too!

So, head on over and check out my first post as an “official contributor” where I’m talking about jealousy…just click HERE to go.

I hope you’ll love the community as much as I do!
