My Truth


I dont normally post quotes but I saw this on Pinterest and just had to post because everything about this quote is true!! I love my family with all my heart and a lot of days I take for granted what I have, thinking about the things I want. This quote kind of brings everything home and makes me feel truly blessed for the people I have in my life! And further makes me believe that whatever happens in the future I can take on!

Garage Sale, Cindo De Mayo and Shopping!!

So I had a garage sale last weekend and between the 5 of us we ended up selling over $900 worth of stuff...all in all I think it was a success!!! I still have some things left if anyone is interested! (Pictured below!)
On Saturday we had a Cinco De Mayo Party...so fun...we had tacos, homemade nachos and Chad made literally the best Strawberry Maragaritas!!! Sunday was going to be a lazy day, but since I had the garage sale I had quite a few errands to run in Iowa City. So we packed up the kids and headed there! I bought a couple of outfits to wear in Vegas! SUPER CUTE! Got them at express!! Pics below! Of course I wanted the whole store when I went in there but decided I better space out my rather expensive purchases!! Hope you like! Let me know your feedback!

Pottery Barn Nursery Bedding Set: Includes Bumper, Sheets, Pillow, Crib Skirt, 2 Shams, Changing Pad Cover, Stork Book Ends, Lamp Shade and Big Canvas Art Print! $150 OBO!

I have $40 of these! $3 a piece or 30 for all!

I have 33 of these! $100 OBO!

This is one of the outfits I bought....a Romper!!! Thinking some red high heels?!?! So excited to wear it! I ususally dont buy things like that but it is super cute!

This is the second dress I bought!! I really LOVE it! I went into the store by myself (chad took the kids to the play area thank goodness) so I had the sales associates helping me! When I told the girl that I was going to Vegas she brought me this dress and said this was totally a "vegas dress". I was very hesitant at first (it looked like a black bag on the hanger lol) but after trying it on....I FELL IN LOVE!!! Again I am very excited!!

Now only 1 evening dress to buy and 3 day dresses! I dont know what is more exciting buying new clothes for Vegas or Vegas itself ;)
