Joining up with the lovelies at Fine Linen and Purple for a little Mass-wear edition and some Sunday Funday pics.

And so sadly, I don’t have a full shot of my dress, mostly because I thought I had blogged it and was going to steal it from a previous post and yet…..not so much, but I’ll give you what I got!

My super cute-knee-length scoop neck and black cardi from Kohl's.

The birthday that lasted a Week!

Our  youngest turned 11 last week, however, her birthday had the misfortune to fall during a tremendously hectic weekend and so we dragged out a few celebrations in order to celebrate a joyous day, as every birthday should, and to also celebrate with the family in entirety.

  • On her actual birthday, we celebrated in the morning with a giant cinnamon bun from Publix for breakfast and opening of cards and gifts.
  • The next day at Mass we celebrated with a hoot and holler (thanks, Dad!) after Mass during visitor/birthday and anniversary announcements and hot dogs and pool time for Father’s Day at Popop’s
  • Monday, we celebrated with the annual birthday dinner of choice (Chinese takee outee) and family birthday cake (made by joint effort of big brother and sis–Red Velvet delicious!)

‘Twas a good day that the girls both had a Girl Scout event at the local water park after Mass for a relatively peaceful afternoon .

No complaints, yo!

the young newleywedsI’m still processing a beautiful morning but for my friends and family who couldn’t make it to our 20 year Anniversary Vow Renewal…a few pics.

I have more pics.  I have more words.  Perhaps later this week.  I’ve got lots of words.  After 20 years I’ve got LOTS to say on marriage.  I’m thinking a little marriage series.  Like I said.  Processing.  For now.  You’ve got this.

9 a.m. Mass and BOOM right in the middle….a little vow renewal.  In front of God and everyone.  Again.  Neither of us cried.  Neither of us got the usual hysterical nervous giggles.  Neither of us passed out.  All good.  All.  Good.

Enjoy!

T’was a wonderful weekend, always is when you have an extra day, great weather and special date time with  your bestie!

Saturday was a lot of running kids around to various escapades, but I also ended up with a few hours to kill and went thrifting and had a super successful go at it.

Had my birthday dinner of pizza and salad from our fave pizza placed followed by cheesecake for dessert.

Mass and beach with most of the fam on Sunday.  Followed by burgers and dogs on the grill and more cheesecake (the big girl had a culinary project and DARN IT, we  had an extra 1/2 of cheesecake to eat.  The sacrifices we make for our kids, right?

And so with my birthday weekend coming to a close, I’m linking up with the lovely ladies at Fine Linen and Purple and the What I wore Sunday version.

Saturday I found myself with 2 rarities:  money in my pocket (for ME, birthday cashola) and EVERYone else in the fam occupied, so what’s a girl to do?  Thrift!!!

I hit 2 stores I don’t generally go to since they don’t have kid’s stuff and are a little more  high end, but I had cash and no kids so off I went.

Total score:

  • 2 dresses
  • 1 skirt
  • 1 shirt
  • 1 pair of shoes

Total price:  $50, weeeeeeeeeeee, color me super excited!

So, here’s a little peek with today’s Mass outfit!  Enjoy and don’t forget the ladies at FLAP   for more fashion fun!

Last year's Mother's Day/Anniversary gift...most awesome necklace ever from Penny and a Wish and my trust Lia Sofia bracelet (and blooming iris!)
