<div style="text-align: center;">
i feel like i know im a grown-up... my age tells me so... its just that i thought i would feel super different, like be all organized and keep a perfectly clean house and know my schedule really well and be prepared for everything and be extremely self motivated..... etc... at least by the time i was in my "early thirties"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well friends im 32 years old and i dont "feel" different... i was a super grown-up child so maybe thats why... i always had to be responsible so there was no real life change... plus we started our family young, i spent my twenties as a mom..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think now Sophie is the oldest... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sophie can take the reigns...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
every time she comes to visit she cleans my microwave..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so my microwave is clean once a year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
im not a total wreck, i just love to sort and organize and hate to put things back, i love folding laundry but i hate running it and loathe putiing it away, i like things picked up but i could give a crap about dusting... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do you see my problem...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i call Sophie </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and somehow i get off my butt and do my dishes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Soph!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PS. You're the oldest now</div>

Let me tell you what, it is really fun to have an event that you need to get all dressed up for. Getting ready for the military ball was half the fun. The other half was sitting at our table and observing the ruckus, hilarious and occasionally inappropriate behavior of the other soldiers. Some of the army traditions are really weird but it's those traditions that make going to a ball once a year really fun. </div>

Then I went to Ross and found a tacky mesh shirt for 5.00 which I cut up and inserted into the back of the dress. I wore a nude camisole underneath.</div>

Face time has been down all week which is really unfortunate for my collection of awkward screen shots.<br />
Lets hope it starts working again soon.<br />

Is "lankiness" a word?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who cares i guess cause Cora is pure lankiness... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just noodle arms and legs and knobby knees and elbows</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watching this little lunatic in dance all year has been quite hysterical... just throwing her noodle arms and legs around like a crazy ragdoll..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pure joy really</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she's a very bendy kid with hardly any control... until recently anyway... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she has suddenly become quite the little dancer as her technique has really clicked in..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
quite a transformation! (not one i was expecting lets just be honest!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
you see im not "that" mom... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you know, the one who thinks their kids can do no wrong and are THE most talented...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dont get me wrong, my girls have major potential (but this is my dance teacher perspective... a flexible gangly child has the potetial to do great things if they work hard)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i just dont assume they are the best or can do it all... or sometimes anything at all... i just sit back and wait, and watch and then suddenly she does a completely split Grande jete with straight knees and pointed toes and i am shocked out of my mind! MY lanky child did that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
alright thats it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shes gonna be a professional ballerina obviously.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then two seconds later she leaps over to me with bent knees and flexed duck feet and says </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"mom did you see what i did!!!?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
i smell a new years resolution coming on...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i mean for real we are a couple of blog slackers and its high time we got off our butts and sat down at the computer... on our butts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i mean we were booted off a <a href="http://houseoftong.blogspot.com/p/mormon-modest-fashion-bloggers.html">"fashion blogger list"</a> because we dont blog frequently enough AND <a href="http://www.thedaybookblog.com/">Sydney</a> keeps stealing all our ideas straight out of our heads {clearly we came up with all her effortless goodness and she is a mind reader... or we lie. ok. we lie}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to top it all off i have hit all time lazy girl status hitting 2,000 followers on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sisters4/">pinterest</a> which is only possible if you are trolling pinterest 10x's per day EVERY day.. {for real EVERY pin is a re-pin i kid you not!}</div>

We got the most fun package from <a href="https://www.matildajaneclothing.com/">Matilda Jane Clothing</a>! They have such beautifully made items and Eden took one look at the cute patterns and said "Can I try it on NOW?" She had been feeling sick the past few days but sure enough a new outfit made this girl feel like jumping on the trampoline!</div>

Matilda Jane has the most darling stuff for kids and really cute stuff for women too.</div>

We have been getting all sorts of surprises ready for our little family's Christmas this year. We didn't have many traditions growing up so I feel like I am a crazy "traditions!" person. We've made gingerbread houses, drank lots of hot chocolate and decorated our tree. This Saturday we are taking Eden to see the Nutcracker and I can't even wait!! </div>

We all love traveling with toddlers during the holidays, right? Yeah... no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

i have spent nearly every waking moment sewing one thing or another and not all of it was by choice... {although we all know i would rather sew than do dishes}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have 10 dance costumes, two easter dresses and a baptism dress to finish... i am an idiot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i love to sew but i am just as lazy about it as i am about everything else... i simply do not appreciate a time constraint... gives me anxiety... i like to procrastinate freely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
plus every seam has to be perfect... and fitting 10 dance costumes on 10 different little bodies might just send me over the edge... </div>

i have always had a dear love for boutique childrens clothing... i mean ruffle pants? yes please! but this company takes it to another level, quality product paired with phenominal presentation make these gorgeous pieces fun to give and receive! each piece comes in a re-usable fabric bag with the collection name on the front and every gorgeous tag with an extra button so beautifully displayed, that you dont even realize its the extra freaking button! the the whole thing is wrapped neatly in tissue fastened with a <a href="https://www.matildajaneclothing.com/">Matilda Jane</a> sticker...</div>

i was terribly grateful i had this top when Michigan had the strangest summer cold front blow through... i'm talking end of july and early august... so weird.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm a freak about my summer weather lasting as long as possible so i need awesome cute fall clothes to cheer me up... as long as it doesn't snow {then I'll be pissed!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i want EVERYTHING in this <a href="http://www.skipnwhistle.com/">trendy tee boutique</a>, its all adorable kitschy with a splash of geek and a pinch of edge... not to mention the comfy American Apparel tops they use... {they dont shrink!!!}</div>

its back-to-school time and we are preparing in many obvious ways, school supplies and such... and some not so obvious ways... refashioning and repurposing! Making old things a little bit more exciting and in some ways, completely new is one of my favorite pass times...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eva has always been a kid who does things her own way... and in her own time, we call it "Eva time" {in kindergarten it LITERALLY took her 35 <i>actual</i> minutes to put her name on her paper}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she is also kind of awesome... I'm really not just saying that cause I'm her mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i wish i was like her when i was a kid</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You CAN NOT embarass this kid, its impossible...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i was <i>super</i> shy until i was probably 9, and even after that i was cautious and always thinking everyone was looking, i was the opposite of a carefree child!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for example in 3rd grade i was so embarassed about tracing my bare foot on a paper plate that i nearly puked... i was sure my feet were weird and that everyone was looking....</div>

It was so fun to be a part of the <a href="http://www.feathersflights.com/2013/07/pattern-tour-with-sophie-from-sisters.html">harem pants pattern tour</a> put on by Heather of <a href="http://www.feathersflights.com/">feather's flights</a>! These pants were really really easy to put together and Eden LOVED them. We had a BIG discussion about taking a picture for the blog. She has way too many opinions for a 3 year old. "Mom, I have to wear these pants with dance clothes and everything that's pink. Mom I want to wear my tutu with my harem pants. Mom, I don't want to stand... I want to sit like this." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thanks Heather for the totally awesome pattern!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
see, I have this sort of strange contradictory style personality...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love Gaudy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I HATE fancy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love simple...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I HATE plain...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it goes on....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It makes no sense... {in my head it sort of does, but when I say it out loud I know I sound crazy!}<br />
<br />
so the story goes like this,<br />
<br />
When posed with the opportunity to work with<a href="http://bit.ly/marthajewelry"> Martha Stewart Jewelry</a>, sight unseen, I jumped like a lunatic! of course its going to be chic, sophisticated, and streamlined... I knew I would love it!<br />
so when I got my package and ripped it open like a hungry hyena (??) I was shocked to see hundreds of candy colored rhinestones... what the heck was I gonna do with these girly little details?!! pink and purple aren't even on the horizon of colors that you would find in my closet...<br />
I panicked!<br />
hurry, start a board on pinterest! QUICK!!<br />
I titled the board "ewe, gross, rhinestones"<br />
I was having a really hard time pulling the fancy out of these things!<br />
after a quick scan I realized that I would have to literally paint them or flip them upsidedown to get the gaudy I wanted and that would just never do! What would Martha say!? ...and truth be told these jewels were absolutely gorgeous! I could NEVER deface them!!!! So, since I <i>couldn't</i> do gaudy and I <i>wouldn't</i> do fancy I settled in on...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~Dainty~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{well, kind of dainty for a giant pendant!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it has dainty <i>qualities</i>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
a little drippy pendant littered with shiny brillant rhinestones...</div>

{with the exception of the long skinny silver chain which i had at home}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
setting the rhinestones was super simple especially with this lovely little wax tipped thingy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you just pickup the stones with it {they totally stick!} no more fiddling and dropping stones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just tapped a dot of glue in the bottom and plopped the stone in!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I swung the skinny chain around my neck until it hung in front and dangled some more findings and pretty stones {I secured the center back of the chain with a jumpring so it wouldn't move}</div>

moral of the story?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought these rhinestones would be the death of me... I truly could think of nothing worse to work with, in the end Martha won me over... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get ready for rhinestone overload cause i have at least a dozen rhinestone projects {gaudy, dainty and otherwise...} swirling around in my brain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{I should have known, I swore I wouldn't be caught dead in a sequin and now I love myself a sequin}</div>
