Wrapping Up The 7: WIWS

I'm wrapping up my Seven Posts in Seven Days challenge with Jen today. I We made it!

You may not be any smarter by reading my posts every day, but at least I completed the challenge.

Now that we all survived, I'll take a little blogging break this week and give your aching heads a rest. That will give me a chance to come up with some new material and rest MY aching head.

Jumping in with the beauty over at Fine Linen And Purple for WIWS.

Quickly taken while the kids were screaming at one another while piling in the van contently buckling up in their car seats before Mass.

A little closer.

Do you see how I totally am not made to be a model? AWKWARD. I just don't know how to pose without children in the photo.

Skirt: new find at T.J. Maxx; Shirt: Merona from Target; Necklace: consignment shop; Shoes: Payless Shoes this year, but clearance markdown from last year (Haircolor: in need of a touch up).

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to jump into August. 

As for me, I can breathe a sigh of relief after buying homeschool curriculum yesterday. I'll be eagerly awaiting the man in the brown uniform from here on out.

**ps...If any of you are or happen to know the Potty Training Fairy, please come or send her to my house. I'd happily welcome you with open arms. 

WIWS: Newbie Edition

Who isn't inspired by the beauty of everyone's WIWS posts?

Every week I think about it about 20 minutes too late and when I'm back in my grubby clothes 

post-church. *sigh*

But today, TODAY, I remembered before we walked out the door to Mass.

And then I realized that I'm clearly not meant to model. Or coordinate beautiful church attire.

So, I'm all like, I can do this....

Still trying...

Let's try this pose...

This one will have to do, we've gotta get going to church...

Skirt: Walmart (last year); Shirt: Sonoma from Kohl's; 

Earrings: Kohl's (again, SO several years ago last year); Scarf: Old Navy 

And while I was getting the girls out the door and loaded in the van, someone else decided to play fashionista. 

Work it, Daddy!!

When all else fails, show off the guns...

Oh well, it was his day, so I let him have some fun. Photographer: Jonah

Stop over at Fine Linen And Purple and check out all the other WIWS beauties in their finery.

ps...after this go around with WIWS, don't be surprised if you don't ever see me do this again. I just don't rock it like the other ladies do.
