{one} These two…..totally nailed the Christmas card photo. Patting myself on the back for snapping that one.
{two} But don’t go thinking my kids are perfect. For every adorable photo I snap, I take at least 50 flops. But sometimes the flops turn out pretty good to. Haha. Hell hath no fury like a 3 year old who doens’t want their picture taken. Hudson was DONE. When I’m over it I feel like just laying on the ground too. Can’t blame him one bit.
{three} I owe you all a house update! It actually is coming along right on schedule! I can’t believe it. We should move in sometime in February. I promise you a big fat “building a house” post soon…maybe once things settle down a bit. Or maybe next week. Who knows. I like to keep you on your toes.
We did a walk-through last week and the trim guy was there working. He showed us the paneling that was planned for the mud room area and I fell in love….and asked him to give us a quote for adding the same paneling to the entry way. The quote came back while I was in California and my husband gave them the go-ahead to do it. Merry Christmas to me!
Are soooooo good. And yes, it’s a sponsored post BUT the folks at

Lady, both of those pictures are precious. Thanks for sharing the perfect and the real life :)!
I love all three of your dresses and think you will look amazing in each f them. Christmas cookies, YUM!
Your kids are adorable! And I like dress #1! Yes, I agree that if you are wearing a gold dress it really is the time to go big or go home. Have a great weekend.
That Christmas card photo is priceless! I wish I thought of it for mine! The house looks great. I love your blog. Just found you at the link up! Happy Friday!
I like the first and the last gold dress…tough choice. I had the same problem, I was smaller like 2 days after having my first and the second, hes 3 now and I still have the belly which sucks but I guess if I actually exercised, it would go away eventually bahaha!
Love all these dresses, but also love Rent The Runway and they have tons of cute gold, Im renting one for a wedding as well.
The house looks great! And my favorite is definitely the middle dress.

LOVE the house! I cannot wait to see more!! And those dresses…for real! Do it big!! My body is WHACKY….I feel like I have a baggie of jello sitting on top of my belly button…it will not go away! What the?? But seriously, all of the chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels are NOT helping. 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
Oh I have some classic sibling shots. And they are always my FAVORITE. It's a crap shoot on which sisters crying 😉 k is my sensitive one for sure.
I love the Christmas pics of your kids! The first one couldn't be more perfect, but I absolutely love the second one! Classic kids pic!
You home is going to be beautiful! I can't wait to hear more about it as you go through the process. I love the strapless dress for you! I think it will look so great on you 🙂
SO excited to hear more about your house!!! Building a home is my dream so I'm living vicariously through you 🙂
The house is gorgeous! And typically weight loss from breastfeeding doesn't kick in until 6 months, so hopefully the lbs will start dropping bit has finally happened for me and I am loving that the number on the scale keeps getting smaller while I stuff my face with holiday goodies.
Your house is amazing! And I love that first gold dress!!
I'm having the same post partum weight loss problem. Not as quick, kind of weird, and yeah…way too many treats lol. Ah well. Luckily it's sweater and legging season :p
You are going to look SO gorgeous in a bangin gold dress though. I can't wait to see what you choose!
I also can't wait for your home update! I definitely need to do one of those too…so many things so little time :p
I'm catching up on all my blog reading, and I have to say, your house looks amazing! I may ask you for opinions/tips, as we're going to be building again in the next few months. Your kids are SO adorable; that top photo is too cute!
