twenty-five weeks.

post by casey.

we're 25WKS...ONLY 15WKS to go! That does Not seem like enough!!!! There's not a whole lot to report, seeing as I just did a quick update recently - see that HERE, if you missed it.

i'm still feeling really great and mostly in good spirits and even more mostly tired;). 

i did a bitttttt of shopping tonight at Old Navy...oh, my gosh...I found SO many things that I loved and so as soon as I got home I purged a bunch of stuff from my closet - check-out my InstaStories, HERE, to see everything I got!!!:).

And I do plan to sell a bunch of stuff over on Facebook at some point - maybe tomorrow while it storms!? So keep an eye out for some fun/inexpensive stuff to pop up on there!

i'm not sure what you do for maternity clothes but my mantra is to not purchase anything (if it can be helped) that won't work before/during AND after my pregnancy. I don't like investing money in things that will only be used for a short period of time. But maybe most people aren't 5 different sizes during their pregnancy - small, large, larger, extra-large and ginormous...in my experience;).

i'll hand it over to Jacob to add a little insight into our 4th pregnancy:

what do you want to add about our 4th baby, what are you thinking?

"mmmmm..."

anything you're excited about or scared about?

"ready to be out with the old and in with the new!!!;)"

what's your favorite part about the birth?

"ummmmm...my favorite part is right after it comes out. It's so crazy...there's so much going on!"

there you have it folks, 15WKS until it comes out and shit gets crazy;)

pants H&M

they're my regular size but just super stretchy (I'm definitely putting them to work!!;)

hat Chapel Hats at Mall Of America

i've bought several hats from this store and they're worth the investment!

also...these photooooossssss - thanks, Courts! All the heart eyes! We're not taking them too often but when we do, we're trying some different things:) And I was also so happy to get my hat out of the closet for the day - I loveeeee me a hat!! Having minimized my closet so much tonight has helped me to be reminded of all the stuff I have and love! Looking forward to taking some more photos in the coming weeks and sharing some more of my favorite looks!:)

does it frighten you to know that prior to taking this photo, we were all:

"we don't look toooooo shabby today, we should do a Fashion Post!"

i don't have enough time today, to explain the process of looking this gooooodddd - there's more sarcasm in that sentence than extra sugar-butter on my Cinnabon...and that's A.LOT...also, taking any opportunity available to give Cinnabon a SHOUT-OUT. #sponsormylifecinnabon. 

Oops. Blah blah...so with all the zoning out I'll be doing and those trips to the coffee maker and the pop-tarts aren't just gonna put themselves in the toaster!!!;) - I wish I could deny that this is what my day will and is consisting of;), that leaves LITTLE to NO time to step you through my creative fashion process;(

well, heck...while I wait for my 4yr old to finish taking a dump...I'll give you the play-by-play.

wake up, after 5 hours of interrupted sleep, to my 4yr old sitting silently in the corner of my room drinking a glass of milk, staring at me.

START COFFEE IMMEDIATELY.

do the bathroom stuff, where I wash my face/brush my teeth/apply face shit that has yet to improve what that 5hrs of interrupted sleep is doing to my face.

smell pile of clothes laying on the bathroom floor and hesitate too long in deciding (luckily, for anyone I'll be encountering that day) that I'll need to make the trek back upstairs for some 'clean' clothes.

grab skinny black yoga pants.

THE END.

the most difficult part of this entire process is finding a top that's long enough to cover my ass in the skinny black yoga pants;)

and so on with it. The perfect Having-Coffee-With-Your-Sister-On-A-Monday outfit.

get some Loft in your life.

post by Casey


loft is pretty neat. Loft at an additional 50% Off...magical.

as my Forever21 days are coming to a close - the fact that I complain about the volume of their music and lack of organizational skills (both inducing headaches;) speaks volumes about my age;) - Loft has become a new favorite! The stores smell good (very important;), are clean/organized and visually PRETTY:) Besides that and more importantly, classic/pretty/comfortable/affordable clothing:)

they are currently running a sale...50% OFF of the already, sale priced items. And there are a lot of great options! Sale section HERE.

i sort of feel like a coke-head...dangling my coke bag (coke bags are a thing, right??? where my coke friends at???;) in front of your face and trying to convince you that it's life-changing in the 'good way';)

trust me. It's a good sale and if you were already considering spending a little of you or your husband's paycheck...now would be the time. Today. DO it. Or not. It's okay-ish to put your money towards your retirement or kids college fund;)

a few of my fav picks below!!!:)

happy - online - shopping:)

i was sending kids to my sisters for a few hours - happiest day of my freaking week (I don't feel bad for saying that and I won't upload a video of my 2yr old currently screaming at my side with a face full of snot and my 4yr old just being a plain ol' dick - Rocky's still perfect;)

and Courts was on her way to a baby appointment. Lucky SOB;)

#mothersdaymomfashion

i kinda love these #momfashion posts because we try to just randomly choose days to take photos of what we're wearing, when we remember. They've never been planned and sometimes we only take a photo because we're accidentally wearing the same thing. OR becauseeeee we haven't changed in 3, veryyyyy longgggg, days;) Or even because we actually showered and put on 'real people' clothes!

and because I figured 1 in every 100 persons that come across this post MIGHT...KINDA...Because they're beyond bored with life at that very moment in time...be curious about where we came across what we're wearing...I'll start posting here with those links:)
