I couldn't live without . . . . Instagram

Wednesday morning coffee and cake pops with friends
I love Instagram.  Probably too much, and I actually could use a little less time on my phone.  But I love being able to look back at pictures of our days and follow friends and shops and could waste way too much time on there!  Here's a few favorites lately . . . 
Swinging at the park before we got hit with more snow and cold.  Spring come back and stay!!
A sick Addilyn last week.  I love her eyelashes in this picture  and appreciated a nap on me which hasn't happened in so long! 
I had the same outfit for Addilyn in two different sizes and was so happy when the second one fit! I can't believe how fast time goes! Two months verses twenty months. 
Last weekend's craft project.  A saw a necklace on another blogger  last week and decided I could make my own much cheaper!  Can't wait to share this next week!
Addilyn's outfit at our family's St. Patrick's day party. 
Riding bikes with Grandma.  I can't handle how big she looks in this one!

Instagram Love

 

dress: old navy (similar)  socks: target   boots: kohls (similar)

I'm quite excited that it is time to wear socks under boots again.  It took me a little while to feel confident wearing them like this, but I'm ready to take advantage of Fall weather and wear them often!

Like I'm sure the majority of you are, I am in love with instagram.

It amazes me that I can take a picture of my dessert, food or shoes and they amazingly look 100 times cooler when I put a filter on them and post them in square collage on my phone. 

Somewhat deceptive and not accurate of real life. But I love it. 

If you follow me on instagram this will all be repetitive - sorry about that. 

But here's some pictures from the last week or so.  

We spent this last weekend in Galena with Chris' family.  It was the cutest town ever and we loved it!

I've started taking classes at the gym and am really enjoying it.  My favorite so far is kickboxing and a strength and conditioning class.   I should probably dedicate a whole post on my thoughts on group workouts.

My sister texted me this picture yesterday of my nephew wearing the sweatshirt I gave him. I miss that boy so much! 

I bought this shirt at Target for $6 a week or so ago and I love it.  If I had a better phone or was more talented I'd take a picture of the back because it has a cute zipper on top. 

I may have successfully attempted pattern mixing last week.  Outfit post to come. 

Today I got to be part of this sweet boy's baptism.  I felt quite honored to become a godmother.
