The Mondays...

Happy Monday everyone!

I really am trying to wake up today as I can not have coffee until NOON! We have a physical for our life insurance today for which we have to fast food and drink for hours before hand. Bummer dude!

At any rate the sun is shining, my Lilly is feeling a little better (after a looong week with the cold crud), & I have a massage scheduled for later today.

Here are some of my reminders...

All I want for Christmas is...

With a few weeks until Christmas...(I know right?!) I am trying to build a few good wish lists for myself and Lilly G.

Here are some ideas that I came up with for Lilly.

What are some of your favorite Toddler gift ideas?

BTW I did get her the Old Navy tweed jacket the other day. It was just too cute to pass up. How adore will this be with some dark skinny jeans or pink stretch pants and brown boots?! Love!

It has been since the week that my 2-year old was born that I have been to the gym.

I miss it. I miss running. It is my therapy. I need to get back in the rhythm.

My struggle has been finding a consistent time of the day for "me time".

What do all of you ladies do to find time to get out and work out?

Well...whatevs. No matter what I am going to get some new jogging clothes and I am going to get moving! These are a few on my list!

Retrowedges!

I am not a huge fan of the styles that are making appearances for Fall, however one of the trends that I am totally on board with (!!!)...the retro wedge. I have always been a fan!!!

Here are a few that I fell in love with while perusing Piperlime this morning:

P.S. Thank you Jessica Simpson for once again creating an affordable option in the fashion world for me!

4) dinner out

Perfect!

Home sweet home...party decor edition

Lillys 2nd Birthday Party! by jilliebeans on Polyvore.com

I am sick and I have Lilly's 2nd birthday party here in less than 2-days. I am freaking out.

This home sweet home needs an overhaul and I am not feeling it. :(

I was totally looking forward to the planning, the decorating the party furniture rearrangements and I am praying that I wake up tomorrow feeling tip-top to get this home in order!

Here is what I am thinking for the decoration inspiration:

Color scheme for the party: Pink and Orange!

Theme: Ice Cream parlor!

Decor: lanterns and balloons!

Keeping it simple since I cannot be bothered this week. Lilly loves balloons so as long as I am well stocked she will be a happy girl!
