When your toddler is too quiet know this is happening:: she is giving herself blue smurf feet.
You’d think by now we would learn. Never trust the quiet. Never.
Best part when I walked in, saw her sitting on the kitchen floor & went “What did you do?!“Her answer was to drop the marker, put her hands up to her cheeks {think Kevin in Home Alone} and exclaim “Uh oh!! Momma help!”
As if someone else came in, held her down & gave her blue feet. Against her will.
When she was totally caught red handed. No make that blue handed.
I have been playing more with Polyvore. I went on eons ago and signed up. But after a short time on the site I was overwhelmed and stopped. Stopped cold. Still I have decided to try it again. After a couple more attempts I find that I may be getting the hang of it.
We’ll see.
It takes a lot of time to sift through various items and create a look. It may take others less time, but I am painfully slow at decisions that are inconsequential to life such as which sandals to pair with a maxi {that I am not even buying but merely using as inspiration}. Oddly enough though I am an impulsive decision maker on major things {like what house to buy}. I blame the media. Why not? The infamous “they” are blamed for everything else.
Anyway…while playing around I put this outfit together. It keeps with a lot of same bold and bright colors I loved in my everyday outfit I created for Spring. It also brings some of that boho chic vibe that I am in love with right now. I thought it would be a great look for going out for a nice date night, a Spring or Summer wedding or one of the many celebrations that go on this time of year that require comfort and a little more style than jeans or yoga pants {my usual fall-backs}.
After seeing this video I think I would use this hairstyle as inspiration for a soft and relaxed up-do with the above look. My hair is more of a medium length, so I couldn’t create the “exact same” look but really checking out hairstyles, clothes and style in general is all about inspiration. Take what we like and make it our own.

Mr. G is making his First Holy Communion. He is so excited. A little nervous too, given it will be a little different than a “normal” Mass. He gets a little uneasy with change. Now, is is NOT very different, but he will walk in & out with the other first communicants and obviously the reception of the Eucharist is a big difference for him!
He has been asking to receive Jesus (we Catholics believe in the literal presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist) every Sunday for years, this is a beautiful moment and he told me he doesn’t want to mess up. He is so sweet. Truly a sweetheart. So to help him feel more at ease with the minor changes we have practiced with him what to do, how to receive and how to relax.
He will do great.
I am sure the day of he will be able to completely focus on the joy of the gift he is receiving.
Too bad there is no relaxation for us adults today.
We have been trying to organize, clean up and get the house and yard ready for people to come over and enjoy some time together. Unfortunately between my end of semester wrap up and start of the summer semester prep, lots of kid activities, Mike’s busier schedule and terrible weather in April we have been woefully behind our ideal schedule. Oh well.
What can we do now?
For starters I can get back to work.
