Bad Weekends and Good Mondays...

My weekend was oddly bad.One of those that if it could go wrong it did.I had 2 old friends end up having to bail on plans and that estate sale I was so looking forward to my mom flaked on me (nice mom thanks,hehe).I am happy to report that that weekend raincloud I had over my head has cleared the air and on a Monday of all days!Aren't Mondays normally the more dreaded day of the week?Oh well,I'm not complaining.

Sick of wearing jeans due to my waist not being back in shape I wore my 70's lavender wrap skirt.Its too small at my current weight but doable so I did.I got it off Ebay a few years ago when it was included in a small lot of mixed vintage clothing I'd won.

The 50's blouse I bought off Etsy from
Concetta's Closet ,very cute shop with very good prices!Do go take a peek!

I do a lot of thrifting so today I took a break and did some shopping for my kids.My son needed a new pair of shoes,how freaking cute are these?


Also,he needed a hat to keep that chubby little face out of the sun so I picked this up for him.My daughter got some new jeans,nothing terribly exciting to show off there but she made out earlier last week when my mom picked up some stuff for her.

Heidi has discovered a new park here which she is a fan of.The concept of sharing is still fairly new to her,I have to explain a lot that when she sees another kid on the chipmunk its not ok to order them off because its "hers"...I guess that was the problem with the park we use to frequent back in Indiana,it was so small she never had to wait her turn or share anything on the park.

I'll be back to vintage hunting again tomorrow.Hopefully I'll be reporting back to you with some fun finds!And hopefully my plans for THIS coming weekend pan out,yes please!=)

  1. I'll take a good Monday over a bad weekend any day! Totally relating to being sick of wearing jeans & pants in general because of my bod. Skirts & dresses have been my friends lately.

    Best wishes for a better weekend next week :)

  2. I hate that most of my wardrobe I cant fit into because I have this big pooch left over from pregnancy.With my daughter I had lost it all at this point but my son is 10 months old now so I'm really starting to lose the "just had a baby" excuse,hehe.

  7. I too have a closet full of clothes I cant fit into because of baby weight. My daughter is 4 months old though so Im wondering when Im going to start losing it this time around. I literally have not lost a pound. Im in the WTF thats impossible phase.

  8. Ah, you have such sweet kids!
    Wrap dresses/skirts are a godsend, especially if I've been eating a little too badly and my tummy decides to make more of an appearance!

  9. Thanks everyone!=)

    Atomic Mama,grrr its so hard.For some reason its all stuck on my belly.To the point I hate going into a store without the youngest cause I feel like if people see me without the baby they just think I am chubby in the middle...at least with the baby they'd me more sympathetic,haha!I know everytime if different and it gets harder to lose weight as we get older but I just want a healthy waist size again dang it!
