Window Shopping

June 23, 2010
UPDATE: The technical difficulties have been resolved and the coupon code at the bottom of this post is now working! Sorry about that! Now, get to shopping!



A fashionista, I am not. I try but, I'm generally confined to my nice little comfortable box. Lately, I'm trying really hard to incorporate at least some items in my wardrobe that make me feel like I'm a little more fashion conscious.


So, I'm window shopping online the other day (one of my favorite pastimes) and I came across a site I had never found before.

Have you ever been to Lulus.com? It's amazing! Sure, there's plenty of stuff that makes me go, "Woah, that's too fashionable for this lady!" but, there's still tons of supah cute stuff. Of course, now I have a big wishlist of stuff that I'm totally drooling over. Tell me what you think of all this.

I instantly showed my friend Joanna these shoes that I'm dyin' to get.....



I've been wearing skirts and dresses more this summer and am lovin' it! I am pretty positive that I could live in this dress.....



How much do you want to put these pants on right now and never take them off? Seriously, they just ooze comfiness.



So, I'm browsing the site the other day and then I'm browsing it again today and I realize that I didn't even notice the other day that they have a Vintage section. So cool. Then, I saw a bag called "Come and Knock On My Door". Well, I'd have to have it just for the name but, am in love with the retro look of this purse!



I have a hard time finding super cute hats in the wintertime that actually look good on me. It won't be cold here for 6 more months but, I'm thinking I have to have this hat.....



I was all excited from finding this site and loving so much of their stuff and that their prices are pretty darn reasonable. I emailed them and talked with one of their lovely ladies and, guess what!

She gave me a 15% off code to give to all my blog readers!

So, because I love y'all, here ya go!

Until July 23rd, enter the code LOLIDOTS for 15% off at Lulus.com!!!

I really want to know what you gals love and buy. How about, if you buy something from Lulu's, let me know and I'll do a little "Fashion Show" post with all of your purchases?! Supah fun? Heck yeah. Leave me a blog comment or drop me a line via email if you get something from Lulu's.

Happy Shopping! I'm off to drool over that dress some more.


 

Sometimes Being a Parent Stinks

June 21, 2010
Alternatively titled: What Is That Smell?
or
My Son is a Nutso
or
A Glimpse at the Ridiculously Unglamorous Side of My Life


As a parent, one can often find oneself saying things and/or doing things that you would never have fathomed you'd ever do or say. It's impossible to grasp the severity of how gross things can get or how unbelievably insane a child can be at times.

It's not always a smooth ride, this parenting stuff.

But, there's a lot of funny in there.

So, I walk into my son's room the ot...

I'm not perfect....

June 15, 2010
    
I used to think there was such a thing as the "perfect mom" or "perfect housewife" or the "perfect relationship". I had friends that I was convinced were just that.



Then I got to know them better and realized that those things really do not exist.

That mom I thought was perfect has plenty of meltdowns and had a biter for almost 2 years when her son was small.

The couple I thought was perfect, split up because of cheating.

The woman I thought kept the perfect house confessed she had a maid...

That was a good one, fo sho!

June 14, 2010

Our weekend started with a visit from my nephew. My brother and sister-in-law went to see Iron Maiden on Friday night and we got to keep this super cutie...






The cutie went home and we all donned our swimsuits and headed to a birthday pool party. 0007's cousin's son turned one and the party was a blast.




TRex is really becoming quite the little fish.




It's a hard job to kick back by the pool but, somebody's gotta do it.




Snappy is a party girl.




She was not happy after 0007 did this.




One of the cutest ...

Kickin' it Old School

June 9, 2010
So, there was a thread started over in the BlogFrog community that I obsessively post in frequent getting us to post some pics of ourselves from a long time ago. Love the idea and the pics being posted are awesomely hilarious. Who doesn't love a good horrendous pic from decades ago?!

I was having such fun that I figured I'd share a few with y'all.

I don't have a scanner so, these look a little weird because I just took a picture of the picture.


My 8th bday. I got Dirty Dancing. I do love the g...

Check out SupahMommy for more PINT and other cool schtuff.





Almost don't even wanna say that I'm glad it's over. It might still be lurking and waiting for me to let my guard down.




They obviously put out a mass douchebag call for this round of contestants. One should match up nicely with Ali's shallowness and annoyingly inappropriate laughter.




True story.




For realz. I'm getting damn excited about this. I'm stoked for the peeps who have put a firm yes down for the RSVP, hopeful for the maybe's and l...
