Bachelor Style Recap

I haven't always been a Bachelor/Bachelorette enthusiast. It started with Jake's season. Now it is how I define Monday nights. The first episodes are my favorites- you get to see what train wrecks people can be.

Lovely girl, fabulous blog, slightly crazy

My favorite thing is to see what they wear. Luckily, Ellie Krupnick from the Huffington-Post shares my infatuation, yet utter disturbance in women wearing diamonds and pageant make-up to the pool.

My stand out favorite from the night was precious Kacie's B.'s casual date night outfit.

This look has me very excited to transition my winter boots into spring. (So what if it is only January?) All I need is this...

(You can buy it here because it is only $8.80!)

And these...

(My staple shorts- can't go wrong.)

I am so proud of Kacie B.'s style (she is a Southern girl!) However, check out this hot mess, also known as Blakely.

She wore this to work with children. Inappropriate Much?

Sleepy Teachy

As most of you know, I write my blogs the day before I post them.

Well yesterday, I went to sleep at 4:00 pm...woke up at 5:00 am this morning.

Pregnancy + Staying Up Way Too Late Monday Night for Football= Disaster

So, sorry for the short post! Have a wonderful Hump Day!!

We're Naming Baby Ali Bama

JUST KIDDING!

However, last night was uhmaaaazing! A group of friends watched the game at some friends' house, and I was so much happier with the outcome of this game. It is GREAT to be from Alabama!

However, today I am feeling that 8:30 kickoff. EXHAUSTED! But completely worth it!

R-O-L-L T-I-D-E!!

Motivation Monday- Bike Love

It's true. 

Happy Monday :)

(And a special prayer for my sweet Mama today. Feel better soon!)

Jason Wu for Target

As I sit in my cozy Missoni for Target sweater (thank you so much Mom and Prattville for not caring about it), I am already getting giddy for the Jason Wu for Target. Honestly, nothing will ever top my Missoni love, but I am really digging the pieces that have been released.

That dress is adorable. (However, I will be refraining from purchasing since I do not need anything belted around my waist currently.) BUT THAT PURSE! Love It. Need It. Potentially will fight someone for it. See you there- February 5th. 

BIG EXCITEMENT!

Baby Harvard will be joining us this summer!

Yes, Husband and I are pregnant! I have been very lucky so far. The first trimester wasn't too bad. I had very little morning sickness- just more tired than usual. 

We are feel so blessed and excited to have and dress a child. To say this wasn't part of the "plan" is the understatement of the year. However, at my last doctor's appointment, I was staring at "Baby Jammer's" ultrasound pictures, laughing to myself about the changes that were going to be happening in my carefree life. As the laughter turned to nervous jitters, I overheard a women, crying to a nurse about the difficult time she was having conceiving. I felt guilty- I had this precious baby inside me without even trying. Why me (in a good way)? It was such a reminder of what a gift children are, and I how I hope not to ever take it for granted. 

I cannot wait to share with you this pregnancy!

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Oh, Hello Old Friend

No, it wasn't my plan to go the entire break without blogging, but life happened.

Husband and I were lucky enough to spend time with both of our families and friends. Now, back to work. Things are going to be a little different this semester. I am going to finish the year back in fifth grade. I love fifth grade (both the students and the team), so I am very excited.

In other notes, I have a new obsession in the form of Elle Fanning- Dakota's adorable little sister. She made the cover and a spread in Teen Vogue. Is it bad that I am extremely jealous of a thirteen year old?
