You guys - I'm slacking.  Ever since Grammie got here we are doing date nights that are lasting wayyyy too long for a post to happen mid-eve.  I'm a bad blogger.  This has been challenging to post daily but EVERY DAY IN MAY FRIENDS!!!   So here is today's outfit after a swimming in the pool all morn.  I promise that I WILL post a date night outfit.  haha.  Soon...

Happy WEEKEND!


Bikini: Victoria Secret circa 2007 (a gift from my hubby for our honeymoon)

OOTD #19

Date night number one is under our belts cause Grammie arrived and we just got back from a late night out on the town (and when I say late, I mean10 pm, this is huge for us people).  I didn’t wear this on date night, but I had it on all day long.  It’s from…(SHOCKER) Vicidolls.  Can you tell I’m obsessed with them?  Honestly they keep me fashionable.  It’s a navy romper one piece that just has the ladies up in this joint swooning.  Compliments all day and I told them all were to find it!  But that’s usually how it goes when I wear anything Vici.  The pieces really are soooooo awesome.  Hope you all had a lovely Thursday.  See you tomorrow!

Cheeky Wednesday OOTD #18 Everyday in May




 It’s another gorgeous day today.  30 degrees at the high point of the afternoon but there is a gorgeous breeze that is coming off the ocean and just making my heart super happy.  Today we have Nate’s mom coming in to help out so that Nate and I can get some date nights in during the next week.  We’re so lucky to have such willing and lovely family members to assist and be with us.

OOTD #16 Everyday in May



Morning teeth cleaning inspection

Every member of my little family wanted to be in the shots today and I was so game.  Nate even did a Jete across the room but the camera didn’t quite capture it :(  BUT, I’m convinced we’re all just so happy to be here enjoying this gorgeous country and weather.  Today, we plan on doing NOTHING which in my opinion is the best plan.

Feeling much more rested and refreshed after a good night’s sleep.  We’re heading down to the pool today for the first half and the beach for the second.  Groceries, more lounging and then we are going to hang out with our new and very lovely neighbours who want to give us toys for the kids.  JACKPOT!  This is what I’m wearing for our first and very sunny day here in Mexico.

OOTD #14

As you can see - it’s been a day.  

Travelling alone with you and your partner (or even solo) is taxing as it is.  Delays, line-ups, confusion, waiting for the stewardess to get to your isle only to be told that all of the sandwiches are sold out doesn’t make for a pretty picture as is.  But add two children to the mix and it’s a full fledged comedy series.  Like for real friends.  Today took it out of me. 

The flight was as expected.  We arrived half an hour early which initially I was thinking ‘this is MONEY!’  but it just added an extra half hour to the second half of the day that just drained me.  We arrived at the most beautiful condo that I think I’ve ever been in, but had no idea that it would be so child-proof-less.  I mean we’re talking gorgeous white furniture, breakable expensive stuff everywhere, a balcony with glass walls that both kids immediately slapped their hands and faces onto - (we’re on the top level of the place so this had me terrified) so running around after them all afternoon and into the evening had Nate and I totally SPENT!  We’re going to have to do some firm rules with the kids and childproof some of the stuff ourselves.  BUT, on the other hand this place is huge and we had the best hide and go-seek game in a long time.  

But, I do promise to harder with my outfit tomorrow.  The hot number that I'm in lying on the bed is from Victoria Secret and it says ANGEL on the front of it.  Sexy hey?  HA!

Hope everyone had a lovely SATURDAY!

Here is just one or two pics to show you what we've been dealing with this eve.  Poor William wanted to go back out onto the balcony soooooo badly.  Sorry little man - it's bedtime.

After bath game of 'tag'

OOTD #13 Everyday in May



This is actually my second outfit of the day.  My first set of clothes was for the four (yes 4) dance classes that I taught at the studio today.  I was there from 8:30 in the morning and got home at around 3pm, so it was a super busy day.  I’m running out after the kids go down to do a few more errands so this is what I’m wearing.  We’ll be up uber late packing (ugh) and getting everything ready for the early flight tomorrow.  I’ll be really happy when I can lay out on the patio deck in the evening with the hubs drinking a Mexican cerveza cause today has been messy!

It’s raining and pseudo snowing in Calgary today - as usual in May - so I chose this cozy great sweater and comfy pink pants to lounge around in for the morning.  Those slippers are also a must this morning and my coffee was the perfect accessory that I’ll be sporting till at least 3pm this afternoon.  Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

OOTD #11 Everyday in May





Feeling a little bad A$$ today because I was somehow able to get William totally packed for the trip this morning - don’t know what came over me.  Also, I’m getting my hair done this afternoon and my hairdressers are all cool, drop dead gorgeous and modern girls so I don’t want to walk in looking like I've ‘given up’.  I guess the pleather jacket kinda helps me look cool.

OOTD #10




 This could be one of my favourite sweaters of all time, ever.  Like ever ever.  It’s really lightweight which is nice because it doesn’t create ‘bulk’ with any extra fabric, it’s simple but fun and it’s pink.  Hello!  Yup.  My name - written all over it. 

Sweater: Vicidolls
Jeans: Topshop Woman Spring 2016
Flats: Browns Wishbone Spring 2015
We’re making waves with packing.  HA! (I’m lying) Also, is it normal to do four loads of laundry before 10am?  Either I’m super compulsive when it comes to clean kids clothes or I just have a lot of laundry I’m not totally sure.  We’ll also be doing groceries today, a park play date and scouring the city for lightweight jackets for mommy and William.

Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday and hope to see you tomorrow!

OOTD #9 Everyday in May




Happy Monday friends!
We had a lovely day yesterday and visited the most important mommas in my life - my own amazing mother and my mother-in-law.  It was pretty busy but so fun to visit and enjoy everyone’s company.  I think I indulged in way too many mimosas all day long so I’m steering clear of any fancy and fun drinks for a solid week - like ZERO!  haha.  Anywho, this is my outfit for today.  Super basic and casual.  We’re running around town today trying to get ready for the trip.  I hate packing so if anyone wants to come over and help me I would be forever in your debt.  Have a lovely day and see ya tomorrow!

Mother's Day OOTD #8





HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of the gorgeous and hard hustling mommas out there!
I really hope you find at least a few minutes today for a well deserved shower, bath, or glass-of-wine that may or may not involve some all-day-well-behaved children.

We're going for a picnic later so I'll definitely be changing, but I wanted to show how pretty and fun these two pieces from Windsor were.  I'm totally in love with how comfy, easy to clean and well priced they both were because lets face it - this momma is probably going to have green beans and hummus smeared all over them in about three minutes.

Happy Sunday friends!
