Style

I have been searching for a style to call my own. Growing up I always wore what was on sale, as tends to happen when you have 5 siblings, or hand-me-downs from my mom. It has been hard to figure out who I am in clothes form.

The style I love the most and am just starting to get into and own is the updated vintage style dresses. Much like the outfits Amy Adams wore in The Muppets. It is now just a matter of finding something that looks good on me.

With breastfeeding my boobs have become gigantic and it seems most clothing doesn't want to fit both my body and my boobs. I am a M in body and XL in boobs size...all dresses look so goofy.

For my birthday I purchased myself a few of these vintage style dresses, one is a mint green, the other a beige. Both fall just above the knee, do up quite a bit up the chest and have "collars" like on dress shirts, and are quite flowy. I love them but wish I had been able to fit my chest into a smaller dress, and even in a large (the biggest available) the buttons on my chest are ready to burst!

But Im happy I can look relatively cute this summer!

Spring!

I absolutely love spring and fall. I'm not sure if it's because of the perfect temperature, the amazing colours or the smell in the air but I can't help but smile at this time of the year.

To bring a little bit of the outside in I have been slowly collecting indoor plants (whether bought at the store or cuttings I'm getting to root). I have planted some sunflowers and can't wait for them to bloom out on our deck. But as of right now they are bathing in sunlight in my kitchen as tiny little sprouts. The weather has been nasty lately and I fear they won't survive a hailing, freezing night outside quite yet.

Another good thing about spring is my birthday, which was only yesterday! I am officially 24 now and loving my life and family. It's great to be young and have such an amazing little family.

The Big Move

Sorry it has taken so long for me to come back and update everyone on our lives. I was at first addicted to those books and then right after that we had our move. We've moved out of the valley of our town to a HUGE (compared to our 2 bed apartment) 3 bed 2 bath townhouse. The kids love it, I love it and even the Cat loves it.



The view from our bedroom window

Cinnamon has almost started walking! I know, I know, just a mere month ago she was learning how to crawl and I was worried about her getting into all kinds of trouble which by the way she TOTALLY has! It's kind of crazy to think of how this is my last baby and these are last firsts of this kind I will be able to experience as a mother.

Pippi has really started to truly like her sister I think. For a long time it was all about the jealousy and how Cinnamon was always getting all of my attention. For her to finally be able to play and enjoy her sister is something that I am so happy to be able to experience...even if she takes it too far and starts to pull an "Uncle" on her sister (an "Uncle" is when she decides UFC is the best way to go about doing things). Earlier today I turned around to watch her body slamming Cinnamon into the kitchen floor...she got a good long time out for that one.

The weather has been amazing here these last few days and we have been frequenting the park, which is just down the street from us actually! Here is a cute shot of Cinnamon just a few days ago.


June is right around the corner and I am almost ready to start school for my LPN certificate. I can't wait to get back into the school atmosphere. I have always loved learning, and had decided that if I had enough money I would probably take a course or two constantly just to expand my knowledge. I know that will always be a dream of mine that I will never be able to fulfill, but that's okay, I just hope that I can pass on my love of learning to my children.
