WIWW: What I Wore Wednesday (And the Kids Too!)

This post includes affiliate links. 

It has been awhile since I've done a WIWW.  In fact, I don't think I've done one since Dominic was born!  He's a very handsome baby, and almost four months old already.  Isn't he a dapper little fellow?


Not to be outdone, my sweet girl is getting more beautiful every day.


My four year old photographer, Catherine, managed to get this shot of her brother and me.  (By the way, aren't those bushes amazing?  My living room window looks out at them and I just love it!)  Now, despite my children's attire, this is just a plain old weekday and I am dressed appropriately.  Catherine has been wanting to wear "big dresses" a lot recently and I let her pick Dominic's outfits most of the time.


Shorts: I've had these forever.  I can't remember where I picked them up.
Headband: Made by me!
Earrings: Similar to these.


I've been having a somewhat difficult time finding inexpensive and cute nursing tops.  I have a few, but I certainly could use some more.  I did just win a giveaway in which one of the prizes was this cute Wild Flower Top Pattern.  I think I might try to modify it a little to make it more nursing friendly. 

I'm sure there are some nursing Mamas out there, what nursing apparel did you love (or hate)?  Those of you who sew, any pattern recommendations for me?

(It doesn't help that I end up changing my shirt half a dozen times a day . . . Being a Mommy is a very messy job.)

I'll be linking up at The Pleated Poppy and I Feel Pretty.

Helping Best Friends Become Brothers




Have you been wondering what happened to me lately?  Or did you read my Morning Sickness post and put two and two together?  (Because, of course you are always on the edge of your seat waiting for my next post, right?  Right?)  I am here.  Still sick.  But life goes on.  (And I do have a good life.)

*******

I'd like to invite all of my readers to the Helping Best Friends Become Brothers Auction.  This auction is to help bring Dominic, who currently lives in an orphanage in Thailand, home to his family.  Bidding begins on Monday, October 7th at 9am and will close on final bids on Wednesday, October 9th at 9pm CST.

There are lots of awesome items including: Pampered Chef gadgets, gift cards, handmade items, kids clothes (new with tags!), and more!  I mean, just look at this awesome necklace, don't you just want to go bid on it right now? 


It would be great if you could help this worthy cause.  Even if you can't help monetarily it would be awesome if you could share the page and the items up for grabs with your friends and keep Dominic in your prayers.
