Bad Mommy Books

Last week I got the book “Divergent” and I couldn’t put it down. I love finding books like that. Ones that suck you in and you can’t get enough of them, so you just have to keep reading until they are over. But then you’re totally distraught that you’ve come to the end. Thankfully there is a second book “Insurgent” which I’m starting soon and then a third to be coming out in Fall. While I was reading it though, I was so ~~addicted~~ invested that I didn’t want to be bothered, which is kinda difficult when you live in a house with two preschool aged boys. I told my friend about this conundrum and she said, “Oh, we call those ‘Bad Mommy Books'”! Ha! I couldn’t have said it better myself. (Don’t worry, no children were harmed or ignored while I was reading.)

Short (On) Inspiration

I am enjoying summer.

Enjoying not having to have a schedule and being able to just…be.

It’s been lovely.

But blogging has fallen by the wayside and I apologize. It’s just so gosh darn lovely outside that I don’t want to sit down at the computer.

Here is a post with some old pictures taken by my phone, so bear with me.

I am a “skirt and dresses” kind of girl and rarely wear shorts. I find it hard to not just throw on a grubby t-shirt and flip flops when wearing shorts (nothing is wrong with this by the way, but it’s definitely not “style blog worthy”).

So here are some ideas for jazzing up a pair of shorts.

1. With a tucked in blouse and wide belt (work appropriate).
