It’s almost the end of July, but I feel like the summer just started! I remember feeling like this every summer as a kid; I so looked forward to having no school work and to playing till the sun set late in the evenings. Summertime has always been one of my favorite times of year. Some of the best memories are made in the summertime … And some of the sweetest sounds are heard …
Was I expecting to be expecting at this time in my life? No way! I had a five year plan, and it did not include shocking pregnancy tests, roller coaster rides of emotions and sickness, motherhood books, birthing classes, belly bands, and bigger bras (but I’ll take the latter if I have to 😉 ) Nevertheless, here I am preggo with a tiny bump to prove it at 17 weeks.
guilty pleasure… a recent favorite pastime has been watching episodes of What Not to Wear and Say Yes to the Dress via Netflix… this morning i was watching a couple of them while lounging in my running clothes. but later that day i had to clean up for a holiday work party… so i thought i should take before and after pics, because i looked disgusting this morning and then pretty this evening. anyone can look ugly and anyone can look lovely. no matter the trends or body types or color spectrums or personalities, anyone can look GREAT. no just okay. but really really GOOD. these pics reveal that mornings aren’t my best and that a shower, a little hairdo, makeup, and nice clothes make it all better! hence, my husband loves for me to look “put together” and coordinated every day. anyone can spruce themselves up, so be your most beautiful self.
