7 Quick Takes: Library, Hair, Cute Baby, Necklaces, Etc.

This post contains affiliate links.


1.  I love the library.  Since I've been a mom I've really taken advantage of the "hold" function.  While I love browsing it just isn't the same with an entourage, so until they're old enough to look after themselves I will be putting the poor library staff to work collecting my books.

2.  Here's part of this morning's conversation: "Soon my hair is going to be too long.  It's going to go all the way to the toilet."  Who do you think said it?  Me or the resident four year old?

3.  Here's a hint to #3, I recently had my hair cut!  I had it done a couple weeks ago at the super classy Great Clips.  Honestly though, I'm pretty happy with it.  I was in a serious ponytail rut.  (My hair was up in a ponytail or a messy ponytail bun almost every day for the past year -- I think there were only three or four exceptions.  That's a rut.)  Of course, in the after picture below my hair is still a little wet from the shower, so it doesn't do the cut full justice, but it's cute!  At least, I think it is.



4.  And since hair has some how become a theme today, here's another snippet of conversation:
Me: "It's brown.  Like dirt."
Catherine: "Oh, like your hair!"
5.  How many fingers can you get into your mouth?


7.  What do you think of statement necklaces?  Do you wear them?  Can anyone pull one off?  What's the best way to "make it work"?


7.  I've been informed that it's time to go to the pool and the park.  So, that's all from me for now.  (Sorry for the super lame seventh quick take.)  Oh, here's something more fun, for a yummy grain free treat, try these Black Bean Cupcakes!  They're Catherine approved, so you know they have to taste good!

What I Wore Wednesday: 32 Weeks Pregnant

This post contains affiliate links. 

I almost didn't do a What I Wore post today.  All of my maternity shirts are in the wash.  (Whoops.)  Baby Bumps somehow aren't quite as cute under "regular" clothing at 32 weeks, but then I realized I really did want to document this special time, so here's what I'm wearing!

  • Pink T-shirt: Who Knows Where? I've had it forever. 
  • Button Down: Lands' End Canvas I actually purchased it from the "Not Quite Perfect" section and have yet to find anything wrong with it.  My only complaint is that it needs to be line dried.
  • Lounge Pants: Old Navy They are super comfortable.  I wear them around the house without any apologies.  

Without further ado, here's the whole ensemble, Baby and all:


Even if you can't really see them in any of the pictures, I am wearing the same earrings as last week.  (I was looking for these this morning, but couldn't find them! Boo!)


I realized the other day that I should take advantage of wearing necklaces more before Porcupine arrives, so this is the one I'm wearing today.  I actually won it in a blog giveaway (more on that here).  It's from Designs by Tahra, an Etsy shop that I would definitely recommend!

I have to mention how much I am loving these boots!  Aren't they just adorable?  I've been wanting a pair of grey slouchy boots for a long time and these fit the bill perfectly.

Great Accessory Deals on Amazon

While browsing Amazon I can across the following deals.  Hurry, prices change quickly and often on Amazon.  Also, while shipping is free, it does look like a lot of them come from overseas, so it might take awhile.  

The links are my affiliate links.  I really do appreciate and thank you for your support.
