Can y'all believe it? I'm 24 days into the 100 Day Stretch and I have not caved once. I really have been too terribly tempted. I am starting to get an itch to go thrifting, but other than that, I'm doing okay. You know what's crazy? I haven't even done much shopping for the kids. Yesterday, the Hubs was doing the money stuff and he said, "Wow, we kind of have more money than usual for this time of the month." And I'm totally crediting myself for that. Or Misty, since she's the one who came up with this whole Retail Detox thing in the first place. =)
Also, I'm still Blogging for Breast Cancer Awearness and trying to wear pink all month. Even when I'm not photographing my outfits, I'm trying to wear something pink. Although I have not been directly affected by breast cancer, I know people who have been.
Dress: Maurices ($10)
Belt, came with a Shirt: Thrifted ($2)

Well, I hope you're all starting your week out right! Life is good and crazy right now. I'm going back to school for the first time in years and years. The Hubs has his 1/2 Ironman next weekend. I'm trying (and kind of failing) to eat healthy and run on a regular basis. We're enjoying the nice weather and taking the kids to all kinds of fun fall festivities. The kids are growing!! That actually makes me a little bit sad. But all that being said, I'm enjoying every minute of right now. Yesterday, the Hubs and I were sitting in our very messy playroom watching the kids have fun and we started reminiscing about the days before we had kids when lazy Sunday afternoons literally meant sitting on the couch with a movie or a book and not moving for hours. And then we started reminiscing about the days right after we had Little Guy and he was so tiny and now he's 3 1/2 and literally a KID. Anyways, we came to the conclusion that time passes by so quickly. And one day, we'll be looking back at this time and thinking about how great it was and how much we miss the crazy antics of the kids. It's just really important to enjoy the here and now and not get caught up in what's coming next month or next year. Hmmm... it seems like foregoing shopping is causing me to get kinda deep. =)
So, I want to know, what are you enjoying about this stage of your life??
