I don’t know how to dress for dinner anymore but for a night out I’ll try

Before we had two (sweet, wonderful) loud, messy boys we went to dinner several times a week. And not just the fun fast food restaurant that has handy antibac wipes and vanilla ice cream cones for dessert!  We went to real restaurants with cloth napkins, candlelight, and no high chairs… but its been so long when I do have a chance to go somewhere adults eat I can’t think of what I should wear.  I am usually focused on clothing that can allow me to nurse and wash it without dry cleaning. So when we were able to go somewhere without small people this week I was happy to wear a dress with a  back zipper and not worry about it! Oh, the small victories in life…how sweet they are. Next treat to look forward to- going to the grocery store without little boys who are screaming for something to eat through the whole experience. (Have I breastfed in a grocery store? Hells, yeah, it makes him happy & quiet)  Have you had a lovely dining experience this week too?

Ponytails, polka dots and puppies

It’s officially summer here in Central Texas, which means light dresses, ponytails and puppy dog tails too. For the warm temperatures this weekend I preferred light little frocks to anything else- except a bathing suit! The little lemondrop and I played host for the day to these puppies being fostered my mom. Unfortunately these sweet puppies don’t have a permanent home- yet. But thanks to Austin Dog Rescue they have a great chance at getting one!  This litter of six Shepard mix puppies will be available for adoption soon. I hope that whoever gets them loves them just as much as my little man did.

Linking with IFB today to show off some summer style (and puppies)

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours (and a nap for me, please)

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.  ~Tenneva Jordan

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother’s love.  It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.  ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
