Favorite Things

We're talking today about wrestling.  

No, wrestling isn't necessarily one of my favorite things! It is however, important to my husband.  See, my husband's dad and uncle wrestled in the Olympics 40 years ago; the Hubs wrestled all throughout high school and college; and his cousin is wrestling Friday in the Olympics!

Team Haze Shirt:

Jean Shorts: American Eagle

So, since the Hubs is one of my favorite things and wrestling is one of his favorite things, I'm adopting it this week. ;)

So, check out this shirt! It was originally a regular t-shirt, but I couldn't imagine wearing anything with sleeves right now since it's so bloody hot out.  So, I took a pair of scissors to it and made it more my style. =)

I paired it with my plaid Ralph Lauren tennies from TJMaxx and my bright blue sports bra to infuse even more "Tiffany" into this t-shirt. I felt pretty cool in this and it was the perfect outfit for cleaning, organizing and decorating my classroom!

If you've been watching the Olympics, tune in Friday morning at 7:00 am central time to cheer for Sam! You can watch him online at www.nbcolympics.com.

Beat the Heat!

Well, hello summer! Although yesterday was officially the first day of summer, in Florida it's been feeling like summer since March.  One thing Florida girls know how to do, it's work with the heat, not against it.  A few Florida bloggers have gotten together and are sharing with you their favorite "go-to outfits" to beat the heat. 

I love a little sundress and sandals. I really do, but their necklines are usually so low on me that I have to wear a cardigan over it.  Layering on sweaters does not beat the heat!  This spring and summer, I've been gravitating towards the same thing on the weekends, either a swishy little skirt and a t-shirt, or my favorite jorts. =)

Neon Tank & Teal Tank: NY&Co

Jean shorts: American Eagle

Belt, Sandals, Neon Bangle & Earrings: Target

Sunglasses: Kohls

These denim shorts are actually very thin, so thin in fact that they're getting kind of bare on my bum. lol I don't know what I'll do when I wear them out! I guess, since they've served their purpose for the last four years, I'll just head back to American Eagle and get me another pair!

When it's boiling hot outside, you really can't go wrong with a breezy tank, a pair of shorts and some sandals! Wearing something bright like this neon shirt, just helps me to embrace the season, instead of hiding from it. =)

What do you like to wear to beat the heat?

A Weekend on a Wednesday

Wouldn't it be nice if we got a weekend right smack in the middle of the week?  I guess then it wouldn't be a weekend, but just a day off...  Whatever it would be called, it sure would be lovely to kick back and relax with my family in the middle of the work week!

T-Shirt, Belt, Sandals, Necklace: Target

Jorts: American Eagle Boyfriend Jeans Turned Jorts

Bracelets: Bealls

How do you like my fancy hair do? ;)  I turned my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans into shorts. The hole in the knee was simply getting too big, so I chopped them off at the knees and voila! Jean shorts!

My Little Guy wanted in on the action. =)

This is the comfy and casual outfit that I wore on Memorial Day for a park date with my family.  We had absolutely nothing planned this past weekend and I just love impromptu park dates followed by cooling off in our kiddie pool!

I don't often put up pictures of my kids, but here is proof that I really am a mom. And that this outfit is mom proof. Here I am being chased by a "pirate" through the park . . .

And doing other fun mom stuff with my kidlets. =)

What did you do with your long weekend?
