it's a good day to shop

so i am not working right now.

i was laid off from my job at the end of May.

it was a welcome lay-off, I probably could have stayed there

in a different department.

but instead i took a package

and decided to

spend the summer with my

sweet peas.

*it's been amazing*

like seriously, i LOVE being at home with them.

there are the odd days where yes, mommy needs a break.

but honestly that hasn't happened often.

it's been a perfect summer so far.

the only thing I really miss about not having a

steady paycheque is

*shopping*

oh yes how i miss thee.

heehee...

no really, I do.

i had to stop by a mall yesterday to buy a couple of

birthday presents.

i couldn't resist stopping into

a store for moi.

eeeeek.

it's ok, i got good deals. : )

i bought this new top

*new top: forever 21, jeans: my own, citizens of humanity, shoes: my own from aldo, watch: my own from fossil, necklace: forever21*

and I bought this super cute skirt

i love the color!

*top: my own from costa blanca, new skirt: forever 21, new necklace: forever 21, watch: fossil, shoes: my own*

i love stripes so this top was perfect

*top: forever 21, belt: forever 21, leggings: my own, shoes: my own, hat: avon*

new belts, dirt cheap!

this is how I usually look

*casual*

*top: forever 21, belt: forever 21, jeans: my own, citizens of humanity,watch: my own from Fossil, flip flops: my own very old, from walmart!*

my daughters took all of the above pics!

one of them (z) wanted in on the photo action

so here she is. ♥

*top: old navy, leggings: her own, shoes: payless, belt: her own, hat: justin bieber from claires*

I also have a super great hubby who encouraged me to

take some time off and enjoy

the summer with my girls.

i truly am lucky.
