Spring shopping

I've been slowly trying to buy some stuff for MYSELF lately.  It seems I'm always buying for the kiddos or the house, which is fine. I'm at a point in my life where I would much rather put my money towards my house than clothes. They just don't matter to me that much anymore. Sure, I get the wants every now and then and want to go blow $1,000 on designer duds... But, then I get real and think about what I actually wear the most (work Clothes and lounge clothes). It's just not worth it to me to spend a ton of money on fun clothes these days. I will occasionally still invest in some items, but for the most part I've started shopping much cheaper for my "fun" clothes.   We are leaving for the Bahamas on Friday (!!!!) and I needed some new stuff. Here's some of what I have picked up that I'm digging:

Forever 21.  So cute with white jeans. 
Target 
Target 
Target 
Target bathing suit cover up 
I did splurge on a lily top (but it was on sale!)

I got two super cute bathing suits from Victoria's Secret too.  Can't find them online though. 


I'm lusting over these beauties and can definitely see getting a lot of wear out of these.  In spring and summer I'm either in flip flops on the boat, jack rogers or wedges.

Next to purchase are some new work dresses and causal dresses. I love nothing more than a good, casual dress in the summer.

Happy Tuesday!

    I have so much in common with you! Just found your blog! My name is Caroline (Eliz is my middle name...), too, and we have twin boys as well, but guess what? We have two sets of twins! I am 35 year old momma and our twins are 13 yrs (honeymoon babies...born ON our 9 month anniversary!!!) and the other twins are 12yrs2.5mos They are exactly 9.5 MONTHS apart! Talk about surprised..if I am being honest, we got home from the hospital, started breastfeeding, and birth control NEVER even was considered! I have to say we love have two sets of BOY twins so, so close in age. So, after all of this at the "ripe old age" of 35, we have 7 kiddos and one due at the beginning of June! After the twins, we have 3 more boys ages 10, 9, and 7.5! The house is crazy for sure! We thought we were done...7 boys was kind of our limit, but this past year we found out we were expecting a baby GIRL!!! Can you believe it??? We are so excited! A lot of people ask if it was planned...yes and no....I mean with 7 boys our birth control was not always on the front burner even though my doctor advised us to buy condoms in bulk. Obviously that did not happen...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
