Printed Skinny Jeans and Big Sisters

"You'll see when you're a big sister,"

Princess Sparkles told Pigtails.

"When baby is tall but still a baby, like when I'm 7 and you're 5,

you will be tired.  Big sisters are always tired."

Lately I've been wearing a lot of printed skinny jeans and t-shirts.  Last week I wore some burgundy spotted ones with a plaid jacket, a hand-me-down from my friend, Fierce.  The Jessica Simpson boots were thrifted from GW.  In the second outfit I wore printed jeans and wedged sneakers from Target.  At first I wasn't crazy about the wedge sneaker trend but the more I saw them the more I liked them.  They're just so comfy!

I barely have time to get everyone ready in the morning, especially myself, so it's just easy to throw on the jeans and a t-shirt.  I love being a mother of three, but let me tell you, it's even more tiring than being a big sister!

We have an abundance of wonderful things in our home.  We are definitely a blessed family.  But one thing we lack in this household is privacy.  I love my girls dearly and I love spending time with them, but there are just some times in the day that I wish they would leave me alone!!! 

For example, I really prefer to use the bathroom in peace and not have someone trying to flush the toilet before I'm done (Pigtails!!!).  And I really appreciate having time to go through my closet and choose what I want to wear for the day without someone forcing me to wear a pig hat (because it's cuter than the duck one) and dragging me to the party she's throwing in her bedroom (Sparkles!!!).  Sometimes I just want to escape into my bedroom, hide under the blankets and pretend like I'm not here (I've actually done this, it doesn't work, they always find me!).

Today I'm going casual, not just because it's Friday, but because we have a lot of activities to go to.  I decided to throw on white shorts, a tank and some TOMS.  But to add a little something special I decided to do a summer scarf!  Isn't this scarf amazing?  It's part of a giveaway I won from the wonderful ladies, Jayme and Mendi at Her Late Night Cravings.  If you haven't already, check them out!  They give great advice on all sorts of wonderful goodies.  My faves are the vlogs they do on make-up and other beauty products!!!
