Colored Bubbles and Rainbow Butterflies


A couple of weeks ago I posted about having baby fever - which I still kind of do - but I had an epiphany after that post. I think that one of the reasons I want a baby so bad is because my baby is now almost four. When she was a little baby I worked full time and had an hour commute each way. I was away from my 8 week old baby for 50 hours a week - until she was 5 months old when I couldn't take it anymore and switched jobs. Point being - I feel like I missed out. I missed her first time crawling, and her first time walking. I was told about her growth accomplishments by the woman (whom I love) that watched her until she was old enough to go to daycare. I tried to pretend like it didn't bother me and tell myself - I'm not the only working mom, I do what I have to do... we had to work to make things work! But now... now I have this opportunity to stay home with her (if I want to), and watch her grow... and I don't want to miss another minute.

I've decided (as much as I love event planning) since my contract is over, I'm taking the summer off. I'm not going to look for jobs - well maybe every now and then - and instead wait for an opportunity to come along. Sounds crazy right? I know, but it's time for me to take time for Kaelyn. She's only going to be this little for so long - I mean I only have about another 10 years until she stops talking to me all together. It's time for bubble blowing, and cookie making, and fort building in the living room. Time for riding bikes, and lake picnics, long lazy afternoon naps, and drawing colorful sidewalk chalk murals all over the driveway.
 
Happy Friday!

The weather is warmer, the birds are chirping at 5 in the morning, there's still pollen all over everything, and there's carpenter bee's drilling holes in my deck... that can only mean one thing - stay inside and pin every cute spring/summer outfit inspiring thing you can find. 
I'm really in love with the printed short trend - although I could never pull it off. I'm also really loving that people are still wearing chambray - and those floral toms will be mine! Other spring looks that I love (and are totally pin worthy) was this adorable bird print top with a peter pan collar worn by non other than Yi-Chia, or this amazing ensemble put together by Annie, but possibly my favorite was this incredibly HOT combo styled the Texas rose herself - Shanna.
What looks are you loving this season?
 Ends this Friday!
