cute and creative.

It has been pretty rare that we have purchased clothes for this little girl.  Shocking right?  We've been so fortunate that we have received so many great gifts of clothes, and this little peanut and her smaller size doesn't grow out of things very fast (as she can still fit into some 3 month things, otherwise mostly 3-6 month and 6 month clothes right now).  Each stage we have been able to make great use out of the clothes for a longer time period than the average baby.  I just packed up a good portion of her 3 month summer wardrobe.  This was harder for me than the newborn packing, her 3 month wardrobe was ADORABLE!  I think it was the stage where she started wearing more outfits.  Anyway, we have been so incredibly fortunate to have so many clothes (benefits of having a girl) and that we have been able to use them for so long. 

I found myself recently at Target pacing back and forth in front of a pink stripe ruffle top with flower embellishment and the cutest little jeggings, yup jeggings!  After several paces, I quick threw it in the cart and moved on before I started feeling guilty about exceeding our grocery budget.  I told myself I would just take something off the grocery list.

And that outfit....

so worth it. :)

(sorry for the bad lighting)

and these boots were daddy's pick a year ago when we had our little shopping trip after our "It's a girl!" ultrasound. :)

On the creative side, finally joined Pinterest not too long ago.
I've put several ideas and about five recipes to use already. There is a link in the sidebar to see my pinboards (underneath our family description).  Just like below.



Pinterest is often my 10 minute break from everything else, during a nap and when I just need a few minutes before tackling my to-do list.

A sweet little girl is sleeping, I put in my ten minutes, time to go get something done before we head over to daddy's volleyball tournament for a bit.

Happy weekend!
