Hat hair and hiking boots, it’s not Spring yet

February 25, 2013 By marie 3 Comments

Remember when mom said keeping your head covered would keep you warmer? She was totally right! A few flowers are blooming in our yard, and afternoons are warming, but bare legs are all the nod I can give to Spring just yet. Admittedly this is slightly dressed up for me only 7 weeks after welcoming the newest member of our family. I can’t wait to have the energy to wear nonmom clothes daily, but with so little sleep, dressing like an adult isn’t a daily event just yet. And it’s been tough getting into a much needed exercise program. What cozy things are getting you through the end of winter?

The last part first, on the end of an amazing conference

March 13, 2012 By marie 14 Comments

I cannot believe that it’s been a week since I posted here. It’s ironic that I spent the end of last week preparing to attend TxSC, the whole weekend attending or resting from said attendance, but no blogging. I was fortunate enough to attend last year too, and didn’t have a hiatus from blogging. However, I did have this little active man waiting for me when I got home each day this year. Last year he was still a baby, willing to sit still and listen to me read a book in between editing photos and typing. As is I am writing you now he is napping in his carseat and I am pecking away on the laptop. If I move him out of the seat…. you get the idea.

These outfit shots are from the final send off day, Monday, at the Austin Beauty Bar. We had a lovely breakfast, manicures, Mimosas, and time for a little catch up before we hit the road. I met some amazing people, and renewed friendships with bloggers I met last year and hope to see more of this year, especially D’Andra who lives just round the block! If you ever get the chance to attend a blogging conference and you have even the slightest passion about blogging, drop everything and go. But sleep a lot the week before you do.

That’s a wrap…and not a bow

February 16, 2012 By marie 7 Comments

I asked my sister to make me a snuggly scarf that I could wear several ways. So she did, but to her consternation it had to be extra long in order for me to position it in all of the ways I planned. And then I found out that I tie a really bad bow. So I am working on that and using said scarf in other ways until then. I mean, if I had to actually look it up because my bow didn’t remotely resemble what I wanted, I need some skills. Anyway I wrapped it…& my scarf kept me warm on this windy day. I think the hair is your clue that it was in fact, tres windy. Hope you are warm and dry.
