Rainy Day Ballet Flat


I picked up these adorable ballet flats this weekend as I was looking for something that would be versatile with various outfits and of course seasons. Granted, we don't really have "seasons" here in Arizona, but I can pair these in the fall with leggings if so desired. In the meantime, I am wearing them with dresses and skirts.

They're so super comfy that you almost forget you are wearing them.

Here's to a Beautiful Week

{via here}
I could not have asked for a better weekend and Mother's Day.
Between a family date night of pizza and beer on Saturday after church, to a delicious breakfast on Mother's Day, followed by a family lunch picnic, and playing in the park with Elle equals a wonderful weekend.

What were your weekend highlights?

Friday's Party: Mother's Day

Sunday is a big day as I will be celebrating my first Mother's Day {I have no idea what has been planned for me} and I will also be thinking of my "angel" Mom who I know is watching over me and loving her youngest grand baby from above.

I saw this Mother's Day Garden Party via I am baker and I just had to share as its oh so sweet!

and another fun idea I saw via I am baker {love her!} is this Mother's Day Cookie Jar idea. Instead of a cake you fill up a cookie jar with cookies!

If you could tell your mom one thing what would it be?
You are.. amazing, You are strong, You are forgiving, You are admired, You are inspiring,
You are incredible, You are missed.

Happy Mother's Day to all that are moms and mommy's to be!

Cinco de Mayo Daiquiri

Yes please!

Growing up in the midwest Cinco de Mayo was pretty much unheard of. Now that I live in the southwest Cinco de Mayo is a huge day for celebrating and what better treat to have than fresh guacamole, chips, and a tasty beverage.

Recipe for the fresh citrus daiquiri can be found here

Calypso St. Barths Collection

If you didn't make it to Target yesterday you must go and check out the Calypso St. Barths Collection. The collection is full of bright corals, aquas, and summer whites perfect for your beach escapes. I personally, did not find any of the collection appealing for myself but I am loving the collection for the mini me. By the time I got to Target it was picked over {perhaps, this is why I was not impressed with the women's items} but I did manage to score the coral dress for Miss E. After all, since mommy and daddy honeymooned in St. Barths it's only fitting that Miss E has a piece of this fun collection.



{this is the dress I scored in size 9 Months. Everything else was sold out. 9 Month photo dress perhaps?}
