a.m. party.

with the holiday season comes holiday parties. velour, sequins, and satin are festive and sometimes thought of as formal wear...but sequins and satin paired here with denim and slippers is something i might wear to a daytime party.

foxy brown was stuck to me like glue.

this is probably the first real post with the new hair.

i made a yummy turkey chili in the slow cooker for dinner.

then headed over to my neighbor's for cake and wine.

it was a good day.

how did you spend your sunday?

before and five hours later...the easiest turkey chili.

served with a dollop of sour cream and corn muffins.

two short weeks.

hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of july holiday.

on tuesday night, the neighborhood moms decided to go walking after the kids went to bed. so at 9pm, we set off for what i thought would be a quick walk around a few blocks. two hours later, we had walked the entire town. these mamas don't

mess around. and how did we end the walk?

with a glass of wine, of course.

unfortunately, i woke up sick as a dog on the 4th.

spent the entire day in bed. and the poor minis...mini-he literally sat on the bed the entire day watching and waiting for me to get up. fortunately [although heavily medicated] i was able to get out of bed long enough to take them

to see the fireworks.

the best thing about this middle-of-the-week holiday?

two short weeks.

happy friday!

mean girls.

boy, what a weekend.

wore this to mini-she's school banquet on friday night. it was a buffet dinner preceded and followed by tons of raffle ticket giveaways. right off the bat, our family won a jamba juice gift card and a box of girl scout thin mint cookies. the best item was an ipad2 prize pack...and the contest? five people were selected for a temple run play off. mini or i would have

killed it! sadly, we weren't selected.

the banquet was bittersweet. mini-she's been experiencing some tween drama at school. one girl is trying to turn everyone against her, has been spreading rumors about her, and plays nasty jokes on her. in the process, she has lost a few of her good friends and got kicked off a certain table that night. this mama was so ready to confront those mean girls at the banquet and give them a piece of my mind, but thanks to terri and some family members, i kept quiet. so hard to see them go thru this.

saturday was a full day of tournament softball games. mini-she's team played three games, won one. we were in the hot sun from 7am - 3pm. i was secretly glad they lost the last game otherwise we would've had to stay for a fourth game at 5pm.

met up with the gang this morning for our beach workout. we did the beach run four times with resistance band exercises in between each one. i needed to work off all the thin mints i ate, but my legs are not happy.
