OOTD- Red for Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful I am still cleaning up the aftermath!  My oldest got a karaoke machine and is currently singing a Hannah Montana song at the top of her lungs, I am already thinking I will regret that purchase!  Santa was good to me this year and I got an iPad 2, hubby actually said it was a gift for him since I use his iPad more than he does, so now he gets his back.  This is a busy week for our family we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, my hubby turns 35 and New Year's!  We are off for a little couples getaway to celebrate 10 wonderful years!
I originally got this to wear with the dress but it was ITCHY!!  I also got these earrings and they are just BEAUTIFUL, I highly recommend them.  Here is what I wore to church on Sunday...

OOTD- Ruffly and Green!

I am back from an exhausting and wonderful family vacation!  The kids loved Disneyland and so did I, the park is decorated so cute for Christmas and the park was nearly empty!  We did have bad weather one day but we were able to walk on every ride that day so I guess it was good in the long run!  Today we are going to get our Christmas tree because we have not gotten one yet... gasp!  We always get a real one and did not want it to die while we were gone!  My husband is hoping the price of tree's has dropped I guess we will see!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

Dear Santa...

Here are a few idea's for Christmas!

OOTD- Alary Shirtdress!

My goals for the day:  Mail out Christmas cards, beat every new level on the game Where's my water, do my laundry, resist ordering this and pack the kids for our surprise trip to DISNEYLAND!!!  For part of their Christmas present we decided to take them to Disney!  They have no idea and Friday we will pull them out of school early and take them!  We are going to the park for 3 days and eating with the princesses!  I think I am more excited then they will be... well maybe not.  I talked my sister into coming too!  Here is what I wore to church on Sunday...

Thrifty Thursday!

Last night a huge wind storm hit, I am pretty used to the wind since I just moved from the mouth of a canyon (with huge windmills!)  My online shopping has been at an all time high since I have been checking slickdeals.org like 5 times a day!  I am about done with Christmas shopping but I still cannot resist finding a good deal!  Here are a few I have found...
This sweater is so cute and with 30% off it makes it a steal!

This cute skirt for 25 bucks from Nordy's!

12 dollar floral fishnet's?!  YES please!  Wait till you see where they are from!

They say buy out of season and that is true with these cute seychelle sandals!  They are steal!

CUTE necklace for less than 2 bucks!

OOTD- Tick tock tick tock!

This quirky cardigan spoke to me the first time I saw it!  It said "Buy me buy me!"  So I did!  We have been really busy, my oldest is in the nutcracker and has like 1000 rehearsals!  At least it will all be over Saturday night and that will free up some more time!  I cannot believe Christmas is less than a month away.  I woke up early this morning and quickly grabbed these I hope they fit!  Here is what I wore to church on Sunday...

And from the photo shoot I did last week...

They would not let us take pictures there so I snapped one when I got home!

I came I saw I conquered!!!

Black Friday was one of the most fun/miserable nights of my life!  No sleep does something to you (just ask any new mother if you don't believe me!)  My sister and I hit up like a million stores (at least it felt like it!)  I got into a knock down drag out fight with the store manager at Old Navy because my daughters coat started falling apart literally (after less than 10 wears), and after a yelling match (which I won) I got the coat exchanged and some $$ back because it was on a super deal for BF!  I got about 85% of my Christmas shopping done and then came home and CRASHED hard!  My kids let me sleep 3 hours how nice hu?  Hubby headed out to the Utes football game and left me with the *terrific three* which let me tell you... post Thanksgiving kids + sleep deprived mother = BEST MOM EVER!!!  Would I do it all again YES!!  I had my awesome Sister pick me up a few great things at Anthro which totally made my day!  Here is what she got...

I have been longing for this dress since she came out and now she is mine for only 45 bucks!!


I am so excited about these jeans!
PS- I know I will not look nearly as good as the model but a girl can dream can't she?


This belt for only 15 bucks?  YES PLEASE!!


I hope you all got some great stuff!!!  Happy late Thanksgiving!

OOTD- Southward and then stop!

I went running this morning at 5 am I am gearing up for Black Friday!!  My husband keeps telling me that The Crazy Target Lady and me are two pea's in a pod!  We got hit with a huge snow storm last weekend and I am soooo in a holiday mood!  I have not put my tree out yet (I always wait until after Thanksgiving) but I have been listening to Christmas music (don't judge I just love Christmas music!)  Fingers crossed that Anthro will have a good sale tomorrow I have my eye on a few things!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

OOTN- Breaking Dawn!!!

Just to be honest... BEST MOVIE YET!!!  I loved it, the romance, the comedy, the bloody scenes and most of all the shirtless scenes *spoiler alert* there are only TWO shirtless scenes.  That was my ONE and ONLY complaint!  I had a wonderful time with all of the ladies and am so hopped up on Dr Pepper I am blogging at 4 am!! Tomorrow I will want to sleep all day, but at least I will have these cute and super cheap shoes arriving (sometimes it's the little things that get you through the day!)  Here is what I wore tonight...

*So cute and soft and CHEAP!*

Cardigan Nordstrom: Bobeau cardi

Top Nordstrom: HIP sequin

Jeans J Brand: Jeggings

Shoes MIA: Parisian Flats

Goodie bags for everyone!

Me and Jacob!

Our group!!!

Ps- Because I am awesome I also got my Christmas cards ordered yesterday!  I plan to have those bad boys in the mail on December 1st, so I can check that off my list!  Yeah, I don't think I should write blog posts in the middle of the night I get kinda CRAZY!!!

Thrifty Thursday!

A much needed GNO is just a few hours away, and I am in dire need of it!  I cannot wait to see Jacob take his shirt off, I mean the movie!  Alright, I have been itching for a pair of colored denim (a trend I thought I would never join) and put together an entire thrifty outfit with colored denim!  I am either going to get some pink denim (to wear with grey, navy or black tops and cardi's) or the red denim.  I have no idea why I am drawn to these bright colors but I think it has something to do with my *bright and cheery* personality;)!

*This whole outfit is only about 100 bucks!  I think that is pretty thrifty indeed!*

Love them!!!

The perfect neutral top to balance the party on the bottom;)


A white tank with some texture!


I LOVE this necklace it's from Nordy's and only 20 bucks!!


So cute!  For less than 15 bucks!

OOTD- Orange and dotty!

I am off to get my hair cut and colored... I know what you are thinking 'don't you color your own hair?'  Yes, but my neighbor is in beauty school and *needs me for a photo-shoot* she came over yesterday and kept telling me "don't be nervous to get your picture taken, you will do fine."  The whole time I kept thinking "Lady if you only knew... I post pictures of myself all over the Internet in clothes and what not.  I have no issues whatsoever with getting my picture taken."  But that is my little secret!  So I ordered a top for Breaking dawn and it arrived... can I say it's a mid-drifter top (not a good look for a mother of 3!!!)  I called Nordy's and they are overnighting me this top let's hope it works because I have not had good luck!!  All I can say is Nordstrom is awesome they have such incredible customer service!!!  Ok here is an outfit from last week when I went out to play Bunko with the girls, but I have had requests to see the awesome cheapo cardigan I got at Target, so here it is...
