July's Wish List

When I first found out I was pregnant last year, I was excited that I would be having him in May(summer) because I thought: great weather, we can do things outside, go fun places. That was my never-been-a-mom expertise right there for ya.
He's two and a half month old. What can you do with a baby? Hardly anything. Did I forget that I live in the Midwest? Where most of the summer is spent in the 90s, the outside is no where for a new baby to be. Then comes this child, who by the way, hates being in his carseat and/or stroller as of late, and we can go no where by ourselves. So this summer has been me sitting at home. I'll keep my expectation of this summer for next.
Many afternoons are spent wandering the interweb, which has been me into trouble(Shop-alcoholic anonymous here) and have found some favorite things that I'm lusting over.

Weekend Floral

Fitting into your new body after baby is not easy. It is beyond a struggle and even though I did not gain a lot of weight it, your body is still different after baby regardless of weight. 

I did some after baby shopping recently and purchased these fun pants from J.Crew, they are pretty comfy for my new status as a mom.

Fourth of July

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Independence Day!
We loaded up the car (Do you know how much STUFF you have to bring once you have a child?!) last Sunday and headed to Kentucky. Despite it being pretty country I do love it here.
We had a wonderful fourth, full of pool swimming, hamburg eating and horse feeding.
