Life Happens

I have been the worst blogger!  Honestly, life . . . a lot of life has been happening.  It's been GORGEOUS outside . . . and we try to get lots of energy out at the park when we can.  Which means we are home less, and therefore blogging less.  Also, Luke is making some transitions in his schedule which means that I get a) little or b) no break during my day.  Such a bummer.  Because anyone who knows me knows that I ♥ naptime.  Major heart.  And this momma . . . well, I'm tryin' to make some changes too which involves time, priorities and organization.  All of which push blogging to the very end of my too do list.  I have a fun change in store for my blog which should be coming soon.  Very soon - watch for it!

Bring on Springtime!

I've been getting my wardrobe ready for spring as I am now a completely different size than I was last year.  Completely different.  As in no short sleeved t-shirts.  Baker's family business logo short sleeved tee does not count.  Belive me.  Therefore, I've been hunting down some basics.  Found a few things I'm luvin!  Gap.com had basic tees and tanks with a 20% off promo - and I scored tops for less than $9 a piece.  Luv a great deal.  If you like GAP, they are now running 30% off and can get an even better deal!!!

Another favorite I found was from Buckle.  It's one of my new favorite stores.  These are my new denim capris.  They are so comfy and cute.  Apparently, they make me look skinny as I had several compliments wearing them.  That my friends is a great staple to any wardrobe!

Any new trends that I should be aware of for this spring and summer?  I tend to live in the basic tees and jeans so any kind advice is appreciated :)

Sooo Polka Dot Cute!

This is my super cute swimsuit I found at Target this weekend.  It even looks cute with pastey white winter skin.  Okay, maybe not.  But, I'm so glad I found a suit that looks good.  But, I'm still looking for a one piece that isn't too old lady looking (for those "feeling fat and bloated" days).  Anyone have any leads on cute swimsuits??? BTW - It's brown and white :)

Lookin' 4 Some Sunshiney Rays

I tried on these  awesome Coach sunglasses at the eye doctors last weekend.  They were kinda cute.  I keep thinking about them.  That's not good. 

So then I found these green sandals (Buckle.com) and thought . . . those would match my glasses! Only the glasses aren't mine. Minor detail.

So then I found a few more pairs of cute flip flop sandals.  Apparently I like sparkly shoes.

Flip flop weather is surely not too far away.  Right?

New Year New Me

We are off! We leave for the beach today for an extended holiday! The little ones and I are very excited to spend some quality time with daddy and the rest of the Baker Fam. Daddy has been working some long hours and late nights. Thank goodness year end only comes one time a year, huh?!

Come 2010 . . . the gym and I have some long overdue dates together. Also, Baker gave me a tanning package for Christmas. Just what the doctor ordered. That is way exciting, because it's no problem to tan after a workout while the kids are in childcare. Pretend warm sunshine and babysitting? Not a bad gift. Remember the post re: vitamin D deficiency? Hopefully, this tanning thing will help boost my vitamin D count as well as give me a nice glow. However, if you were wondering, I am taking 2,000 IU's of Vitamin D a day. Or when I remember. Which ever comes first.

Anyhow, as I always say, "tan fat is better than white fat!"

Here's to a great New Years Eve and lookin' good in 2010!

♥ Flip Flops ♥

Did a little shopping while on holiday at the coast. Found a couple awesome finds for footwear. More specifically flip flops. First while ahem "grocery shopping" at Freddy's I found these awesome Adidas pink/black flippy flops with foam cushion . . . your feet will say "ahhhhh!" Bonus . . . they were half off! Next at the outlet I found these super cute glittery Reef sandals in brown with metallic glitter. SO CUTE. I wanted to find some cute dress-up or down sandals for church and outings. Has anyone found some that they would recommend? Because honestly, those Adidas sandals are COMFY - but not very classy for church.

Rain Rain Go Away!

It's pouring down rain again. I'm a true northwest girl through and through. I love camping, the beach, the mountains the rain and the snow. However . . . after last weeks 78 degree weather I'm slightly depressed at the grey skies. And since it's pouring down rain I thought I'd share a few pictures from the sunshine days. Please come back and visit again sunshine. PAH LEEEESE!
