I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

What I Wore · October 16, 2011

Forest of Leaves

Nate and I planned to go to the pumpkin patch today but it just wasn’t the weather that I was hoping for. An insanely windy 80 degrees is just not what I envisioned for my first time at a pumpkin patch! It’s supposed to be all crisp cool weather, hot apple cider, bundled layers, and hayride cuddles. Right? I guess we could have gone anyway, but I loathe wind… no seriously. I hate wind. I have a lot of hair and it gets in my face and makes me crazy. I could just see myself trying to pick out pumpkins whilst being half blinded my by hair and annoyed that it was hot outside. I sound like the prissiest little priss right now don’t I? If these are the extent of my woes today I suppose I can count myself a pretty blessed lady! So anyway, we had a delicious lunch over at my In-Law’s house and afterward we decided to stop off at a park since I happened to have all of my camera gear with me. Not a pumpkin patch, but still a fun new scene!

Forest of Leaves
Creepy-me is creeping. Halloween inspired creepiness.

The neckline on this vintage dress is so sweet. I love the white square collar with with the three little matching buttons. I happened upon it when Brittany and I went thrifting a little while back and I knew I had to have it. I mean for six dollars, how could I leave such a pretty dress there? I’m such a bargain shopper and a $6 dress literally gave me such a shopping high. ;]

These boots and these tights were made for each other. This is actually two pair of tights together- but I ripped the mustard tights so the lace overlay hid the rip. Tada! I love, love, love the heel on these boots. I’ve been wanting a new pair of black boots for a long time, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted something flat and comfy with possibly some added warmth OR if I wanted a bit of a heel with more style and flair. Well guess what? I didn’t have to chose between any of those things. These boots have the heel, the comfort, and the warmth. I have no idea how Blowfish managed to create shoes with a heel that don’t kill your feet, but they’ve done it over and over. I love these most because I feel like I can dress them way up and also wear them super casually.

This has been an overall pretty good weekend. You’ll hear more about it in tomorrow’s 365 round up! I’ve let a few days go by again without posting! But sometimes it’s just easier that way. I hope you all have a great end to your weekend- I’m currently laid up on the couch breathing out of my mouth. My allergies came full force today and I’ve literally been sitting on the couch since the early afternoon! Goodnight friends!

    for the first photo, to add some extra creek factor to it, you should have posed at the tree, then there would have been 3 of you.

    Oh my goodness, I'm SO with you!! I hate the wind too. My hair gets caught in my lip gloss, which drives me nuts, and bangs are pretty much a no go! I feel your pain!! Haha, thanks for letting me get that out. 😉

    Also, this dress is so adorable and wow the price is amazing. I'm loving the print and those sweet little buttons. Beautifully put together!! And yay for Blowfish shoes they are seriously the best! xo veronika

    Love the look! Also, I can't say I blame you for not wanting to go to a pumpkin patch in 80 degree weather. Some activities are meant for crisp, fall air.
