Fabulous Christmas!

Well, Christmas is over, and as much as I love all the celebrating, I'm a little relieved!!!  We traveled up to the in-laws, down to my parents', had family dinners, gift exchanges, church services, and even got all the returns/exchanges done.  I'm soooo excited to share about all my fabulous gifts!!

#1 - Jim got me a new phone!!!  The only thing missing is the blinged-out pink cover that I'll be purchasing!

#2 - Pandora beads & necklace

#3 - Boots

#4 - 2-tier Pewter Stand

#5 - Gift Cards!!!!


My birthday was just a few weeks before Christmas, so I'll share some of my best gits:

- Charming Charlie gift card - my new fave store!!!  I got some FAB-U-LOUS jewelry! 
- Willow Tree Nativity set

Skinny Jeans!

Is it okay for us "old" moms to wear skinny jeans??  The two pairs that I own are not exactly legging-tight skinny, and I especially wouldn't want to be wearing anything too tight now with the added baby weight that I'm trying (well, kind of trying) to lose!  But, I don't want to look frumpy and ancient with flared-leg jeans, even though I think they're the most flattering for all body types.  I have to do some research on this topic...more later!  :)

No More Maternity Clothes!!!

I gave birth to my son Mason James almost 3 weeks early!  Now my fashion dilema really begins....

Every day I try on my pre-prego jeans, hoping they will fit me...and they don't (Mason is only 2 weeks old, so I don't know why I even bother trying them because I'm NOT Heidi Klum or any of those other celebrities who can go back to a size 2 when they get home from the hospital!).  I have one pair of maternity jeans that I've been wearing out in public and when I'm at home, I just settle for velour pants or PJ bottoms.  Thank goodness for jackets and sparkly scarves, which have helped to cover up my pouch...when does that go away???!!!  I have packed away most of my maternity clothes to donate to the Maternity Resource Center at church, and I'm anxious to start shopping for some "normal" clothes again in the next couple months:)



My twin sister gave birth to a baby girl Reese just 6 days after Mason was born!

Football Fever!!!

Here in Columbus, Ohio, almost everyone is an Ohio State Buckeyes fan (or at least a fan of some college/pro team), and I'm not just talking about the men!  On game day, the malls are almost empty, the streets are vacant, and everyone is home watching the game. 

Well, I came across a couple great websites for ladies NCAA apparel.  The shirts are fitted & stylish...some even have sparkles!!!
