growth spurt

 So, Kea is going through another growth spurt over the last 2 weeks or so.  I first noticed it in her rib cage, her chest has dropped and then comes back up thinner near her stomach.  Her legs too, the upper area is looking thicker with muscle.  

We switched her food over the last week to adult food, and she's been loving it.  It's funny though to notice the difference in her eating habits.  Puppy food has a higher amount of protein compared to adult food, to help their little bodies have enough good stuff to grow.  So that meant that she's felt hungrier throughout the day.  We're still adjusting and she is too, but I have to say, it's amazing to see my girl grow up! She's about 9 months now, and she's going to one year old before we know it!

twirling

 Do you ever just want to twirl? Wearing a dress or skirt gives me that feeling.  And I usually follow through (When no one is looking....heck, when anyone is looking).  

This was a work outfit, with my black cardigan on top at some point.  And I also think when we took these photos, I had just woken up form a nap.  Hence the messy hair (that I didn't touch up), the no makeup (that I didn't re-apply), and well, probably the twirling (that I loved).

That is all.  

Oh wait! Don't forget to check in with Ashly, over at Ashly & Monkey!! 

She's looking super smart in her stripes!

weeeeee!

Farmers Market

Sunday is Farmers Market Day, so pretty much the best day ever.  I don't know if I should be allowed to go on my own next time though.  I may have gone a little bit overboard with all of the fresh fruits and veggies, and cheese, and bread.  Hey, at least we'll be eating really well this week!

There we go, back to normal.  These photos are much better than the last ;)

half way

So, Ashly and I are finally half way through our 30x30 challenge.  And to celebrate, you get to see a crappy self-portrait of moi! I apologize in advance for my lack of exciting photos for this post.  Don't judge me.

Ashly and I, along with the boys in tow, hit up the beach for the afternoon on Saturday (with my camera forgotten at home), so this outfit contains a (hidden) bikini, and yes, a long sleeve chambray shirt.  The weather turned rather quickly, so the beach day didn't last quite as long as we'd hoped.  

Wow, I think I'm not making any of this sound as fun as it actually was.  

Two words people.... Bocce Ball! 

Happy Weekend!

I'm so glad it's the weekend!

It's been a long, hectic week and I'm ready to just have a lazy, sunny weekend.  

We have a friend in town for while and she's staying with us while she settles in to the city.  It's so great to have a familiar face around. She'll be pretty busy with work, but we'll get to show her some of the sights over the course of her stay.

It's been great this summer playing tourist.  Between having my oldest sister here, friends visiting and the great weather, we've had a pretty busy summer.  I do however, have a few things left on my summer list.

1. Go swimming (more than just wading in the ocean)

2. See an outdoor movie

3. Visit a night market

I think I can fit in a few fun things!

Pink is the new neutral

When I put this outfit together, I didn't quite realize how neutral is actually is.  I thought that these pink jeans came off a lot brighter, but now that I'm seeing them like this, I really like the idea of using them as a neutral in my wardrobe.  

What girl doesn't love pink, right?! 

Can you imagine these pink jeans with a chunky knit sweater, brown leather boots, and maybe throw a scarf in there too?! Wow, I can't seem to get my mind of Fall Fashion!

Go visit Ashly, of Ashly & Monkey, see her latest outfits! And yes, we both are becoming obsessed with all things fall!

 

Neon

 Neon has been such a huge trend out there, and this blouse is my try at it.  So far, I've really only tried the trend with accessories, mainly jewellery, so let's just say I'm jumping out of my comfort zone.  

Speaking of trends, fall is all I can think about! I literally have a list of favourite things I just might need to invest in when this 30x30 challenge is all over.  Ashly and I may have to celebrate with a little shopping trip!

Hopefully we can contain ourselves over the next 19 days!

Kea's got her fast ears on!
