~ Happy Monday Lovies ~
I'm not going to lie...I'm exhausted. I was REAL close to taking today off, BUT I'm being featured on "Monday Morning Gossip" with Leeann of Join the Gossip & Kimberlee of I Have A Degree In This and I couldn't disappoint. Anyway, my son has continued to backslide on the sleep. He used to sleep til 7am at the earliest. Then it was 6:15/6:30. This weekend...5:15! 5 F-ING 15!? And of course it was Sunday morning, the morning after my husband and I went on an overdue date night and were up until after midnight. It's like W knew we had been out having fun without him and this was his punishment. So I laid there til 6:15 before I actually went in to get him, but seriously what is going on? Coffee didn't help. Coffee didn't even taste good. Is that possible!? Aren't kids supposed to sleep more the older they get? Help me!
*No joke, at one point today I almost let my husband take an #ootd picture of me for Instagram; I was lying on the couch in over sized pj pants, mismatched socks, a stained t-shirt, and the look of sheer debilitation on my haggard face. That's what real life looks like around here peeps; #thebloglife...#alwaysamommy.
Besides the exhaustion though, we had a wonderful weekend. Friday night we went to the club for a Family Pool Party (outfit selfie below),
Dress // Bracelet // Shades // Hat // Sandals
Saturday we spent the day at Gma & GPa's pool, Saturday night the hubby and I had date night (outfit selfie below),
Top // Necklace // Shorts // Cuff // Bangles // Purse // Sandals
and last night we met up with some of our extended family (who are at the beach on vacay) for dinner. Here is what I wore...

Okay, so I'm slightly obsessed with this new top from eShakti, but I was extremely skeptical at first. I was contacted by them to try out a piece of my choosing to feature on the blog. I almost said no because I had never heard of them before and I thought the name was horrible (and I think the name is very important). The name of a business is the first impression to who they are. My first impression was not good. HOWEVER, once I started looking at their clothing and read about their company I thought it was genius. eShakti provides design and fit solutions for everyone. They make custom clothing, offering both style and fit customization for women size 0 through 36. Once you find a piece you like you can custom tailor it to fit your needs based on height, whether or not you want sleeves, whether or not you want it short or long, etc... It's like having a personal online designer/tailor. I was/am truly impressed and I encourage all of you to check out their stuff!
Okay lovies...that's about all my brain can handle for tonight. Have a great Monday and be sure to check out my feature on "Monday Morning Gossip."

my dog is the same way--weekends he is up SO early.
ReplyDeleteI completely feel your pain. My son has been having a difficult time going to sleep lately only to wake up early! I just wish he understood that mommy needs some sleep! Hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteYour outfits are adorable, at least you don't look the way you feel!

Thanks...but notice how my face isn't in any of the pics...haha!! A cute outfit is manageable...a miracle facelift not so much! XOXO!! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI do not function well on lack of sleep, so this whole mommyhood thing definitely makes me a bit nervous! Loving the outfits you wore this weekend!
ReplyDeleteLauren I didn't either. If I didn't get 8 hours of sleep a night (at the least), I became a She-dragon! It was not pretty. And you'll be exhausted BUT it's really true what they say about instinct kicking in and a weird ability to function on so little sleep. You'll get through and manage just fine...we all do! But, it's nice to bitch every once & awhile - makes us human! XOXO
DeleteOK, I've totally wanted to take an ootd insta in my pj's before too! I feel like it's so hard sometimes to keep up with looking cute all the time being so busy! Love your weekend outfits though... I hope your little one starts sleeping in again!
ReplyDeleteWell, despite your lack of sleep your outfits are very pretty ! I hope your tiny tot sleeps in more for you. I love the lace off white dress with the Tb sandals, and the orange/red lace top is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteLove all your outfits!! I feel your pain- my son has been having major separation anxiety and fighting sleep and waking up in the middle of the night. I was a zombie all weekend long! I was in bed at 8:30 last night thats how tired I was. Hope you see some sleep improvement soon!
