"This is me when I was a baby. Isn't that cool?"
Princess Sparkles loves being a big sister and tries to "babysit" Bucket when he's in his crib trying to sleep. The other day I came out of the bathroom to find Princess Sparkles waving her baby picture in Bucket's face, telling him all about when she was his age.

| WRAP DRESS - Motherhood Maternity (hand-me-down) FUR BOOTS - Old Navy (with DIY fur by my mom) |

| Old Navy Boots, $9 |
I think the hardest thing about staying home for two weeks with the baby is I have absolutely no motivation to get dressed. Since doing this blog I have always enjoyed putting together outfits, but suddenly I find myself in pajamas, or if I'm lucky, sweats. And so I decided I'd post the last few maternity outfits I took pictures of.
These are the boots I got for $9 on clearance at Old Navy. I wanted some fur boots and I thought my mom, Fair Isle, could make it happen. She found these coyote tails my dad had given her over 20 years ago when he had gone hunting so she put them on my boots. I thought they looked uniquely cute, though I will say the tails kinda creeped me out. But at least they're being used.

I have to say I'm so lucky to have Fair Isle. Not only does she make me feel better when I'm having contractions and about to give birth, but she also goes thrifting for me when I'm stuck at home and makes me things like fur boots. Isn't that cool?

BTW - thanks for answering the TAG questions! We love reading those!!
I love the DIY fur boots and the adorable dress. You must be having a busy but wonderful 2 weeks with your 3 babies!
Aw, how adorable is that??? Conner (my younger son) had absolutely no interest in his little sister when she was born, but Kaden (my oldest) was all about her. Three kids is tough, take it easy and only get dressed if you're feelin' it. You'll be back to yourself in no time. So cool of your mom to make you those boots!
So happy to see that the little one is home and doing well! Congratulations! That's so exciting. Those boots are wonderful too - your mother did a wonderful job!

Aww, Princess Sparkles sounds like a great big sister! And I don't blame you for not wanting to get dressed up--you just had a baby, so I'd say that's a good enough excuse for me :) Anyway, take your time, and enjoy your new little one!

I think you deserve a little down time, after all, you just brought another style lover into the world! I had to laugh about the tails thing--I see them at my leather place and they creep me out too, although I'm making up my own version of a tail, you'll see it soon :)
Hope you are feeling more energetic soon!

your Mum is awesome :) And so creative! Your boots look amazing (although, I think I'd be a bit freaked out by the fur, too!)
How sweet is your daughter!! That is the cutest thing ever! You look great, I hope you're feeling ok xx
Print dress...very nice! The fur on those boots is so glam (and for $9...EXTRA GLAM...and the fact that it's real real fur...well, you got yourself a deal there).

Love this look, too. I always like the dress+boots combo! :)
You're indeed one lucky girl! :) I don't know what I'll do without my mom also..she's superwoman for me.

With a little one AND a newborn, I don't think I would ever make it out of PJs let alone into anything cute. That dress is adorable, as is pre-newborn you! Princess Sparkles seems to love her new brother :)
