Promises, Promises

         My husband, the marathoner, triathlete and now iron man has always begged me to run a race. I have no clue why he wants to take me out of my comfort zone of spinning and throw me into the running race. Running is so not my wheelhouse. But, I promised. So this summer I am going to make good on my promise here and run a 5K (3 miles)! Here are some of my favorite items to run with. I plan to make a killer playlist including this song which makes me feel amazing.

To wedge or not to wedge

To be completely honest, I am a flats girl. Always have been always will be. But this summer I wanted to jazz it up a bit and was hoping to finally dive into the wedge trend. I just need help deciding! So which wedge would you wedge?

Toms 'Calypso' canvas wedge found here (on sale now!)

Tory Burch Macy Linen Espadrille Wedge Sandals found here (also on sale!)

A Weekend in DC

Packing for DC has become easier than I thought. We are leaving bright and early and having lunch in Georgetown here and then walking around. So I wanted something lightweight since it will be 75 degrees. I have my favorite sunnies, easy travel bag and cute skinny white jeans with comfy shoes. We then need to head back to the hotel and change for a wedding in Arlington. I chose a gorgeous dress with my favorite pair of Louboutins, my YSL clutch and my sapphire & diamond earrings that were my wedding gift from hubs.

What would you pack for a weekend wedding away?

Reality Vs. Fantasy

One of my mom friends sent me this video and I thought I would share.

It's nice to throw a little humor at this stay at home momma :) Especially after the week I had. I am waiting for it to be the weekend so hubs and I can head out to D.C. for a dear friend's wedding. I will be able to take a long shower, style my hair, put on makeup, get dressed up and actually enjoy my meal and drink without worry. Maybe even sleep in late if I am lucky!

Summer Baby 2014

I love a new season. Especially now that our really long and cold and hard winter is over. I can start buying some new lighter and brighter things for baby for this summer. We have a few trips planned and a vacation to the Hamptons, so I needed to get baby's wardrobe ready.

Summer Finds

During my pregnancy I gained about 32 ish pounds. I got yelled at by my nurse and doctor since I gained over 20 of them in the first trimester. I told them, I will lose it. They scoffed, but I did and then some. Now approaching the summer and after hardly having any time to buy things other than for my baby I decided to buy a few things and enjoy my new slimmer post baby body. I decided it was a good time to break out my Louis Vuitton Neverful in white especially for a summer in the Hamptons.

Mother's Day Brunch

This year I decided for mother's day, I wanted to cook. Its really hard to find time to make meals in my house with my husband, dog and baby all wanting my attention. I usually cook on Sundays, but even then I  have been slacking. Since we were at my moms with ample babysitters and room in the kitchen, I decided I would not only devise the menu but execute it. Here is a sampling of what I made.

Cantaloupe, Mozzarella, Prosciutto salad with Basil found here 

Challah French Toast Casserole (Made from a friend's recipe)

Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Fritatta found here (Modified to use my ingrediants)

And what is Mother's day without a cocktail? I made Prosecco mimosas with blood orange pieces
