Day 469

Holy busy mommy batman! Sorry I haven't post anything on here in awhile, but here's one! Everything is from old navy, the shirt, the tank top, shoes and jeans. Some girls pull this look off looking amazing, while I just look frumpy. At least it was super comfy though! My hubby thinks he funny by only taking picture from the back. Sorry!

Day 468

The last picture shamed me with how much weight I still need/want to lose, so I decided to take a picture of what I wore this morning. I was only wearing this from 8-12, but that's what most people saw me wearing today. The tank top was because today was arms for me at the gym. Although I used to be a personal trainer, I still expect a lot out of myself and push a little too hard sometimes. That being said, my kids might have to fend for themselves the next few day or until I can lift my arms up again. 

The tank top I've had for about 3 years, the capris only about 6 months, and the pink nikes a little more than a year. 

And no, I don't wear make up to the gym. I go there to work out, not to look pretty or impress anyone else. 

Day 467

It's been almost a month, but things have been crazy busy! Anyways, I got a new dress and thought I'd share. No I haven't lost all the baby weight yet, but I am also not getting any younger, so I decided to dress how I've always wanted and bought this '50's inspired dress off of amazon and I love it! This is what happens when you grow up watching bewitched and I dream of Jeanie. I've always loved their clothes and wanted to be as pretty as they were! 

Day 468

It's been awhile since I posted anything, but today I feel the need to get more than a little "real."  The first picture I'll post is what I'll be wearing into the gym tonight. 

This picture is what I will be wearing into the pool. 

The reason I felt the need to post these photos is because I've seen a lot of posts about mothers needing to just wear whatever they want and that the kids will only remember that their mother was there. While yes, we do need to do that, we live in a world filled with cameras everywhere and a lot of people feeling the need to make fun of a larger person trying to have fun. 

No I'm not skinny and I know it. No, I don't look anything like I did when I bought either of these swim suits. But tonight I'm putting myself out there because I have past the point of caring. I not only had 4 kids in 5 years, but I was also pregnant 5 times in those 5 years. My second oldest is also autistic, but loves the water. So I thought it would be not only best, but also fun for him to take swimming lessons with his older brother. Since he's autistic, I get to get in the pool with them to help with instructor. While I might be being photographed by some people without knowing, I'll be having fun helping to teach 2 of my kids how to swim and be safe in a pool. 

Day 647

So with 4 kids being sick constantly for about 4 months now and last month being the worst, I'm going to skip ahead and post all my outfits I at least remembered to take pics of to catch up quickly instead of posting 30 + new ones. 

I wore this to remind me to go to the gym. 

Shirt is about 3 years old and I think the pants in this pic are only a few months old. 

That's one of my hubby's shirts and the capri's are about a year old. 

This pic is from st Patrick's day, hence the green shirt on over my work out shirt. The hubby told me that having Irish ancestors, two (used to be all three) of my names being Irish didn't count. But the shirt is a couple years old and the pants are about a year old. 

The shirt I've had for around 7 years I think, jeans only a few months. 

One my my hubby's shirts again and I think the pants are only a few months old. 

Hubby's shirt, can really see the baby belly chub is still hanging on in this pic and the sweat pants are about 6 months old now. 

My All Blacks rugby shirt is a few years old now and my Nine West jeans are about a year old now. 

The jacket is almost a year and a half old, the tank is about a year old and the pants about two. This was right before we went to run hills yesterday. 

And now I'm all caught up! 😜

Day 646

It was supposed to be and was mostly a lazy Saturday at home. We did venture out once, but I only wore my yoga pants I've had for about 4 months, the hubby's t-shirt and the rugby hoodie and flip flops wishing for warm weather. 

Day 645

Got to have a morning all to myself, so I ran away to the gym wearing a year old shirt and pants.

Stressful day and j felt like I had too much makeup. All I know/remember is I did wear clothes and I know that my rugby hoodie. 

Day 642

Windy, rainy and cold day. The shirt is a few months old, newer skinny jeans and jacket. 

Day 641

Same shirt as yesterday with my newer boot cut jeans. I was teased about not looking up, so here ya go...

Super windy day. I wore one of my soft and comfy old navy specials and newer skinny jeans and flip flops with my jacket. 

Day 639

Skip

Day 638

Long night and even earlier morning. My little guy had an EEG that he had to sleep through, so I got to keep him up all night. I wore my new jacket, one of the hubby's shirts and newer skinny jeans. And spent the rest of the day trying really hard to stay awake. 

Day 636-637

Not sure why, but no pics. 

Day 635

Decided to be matchy matchy with my daughter and with the lighting, I did have to use a filter so our shirts would show up. The shirt is only a couple months old and I wore my newer skinny jeans and flip flops. 

Day 634

Warmish day so we got to play outside. I wore a comfy colts shirt and my 3 year old skinny jeans and new jacket. 

Day 633

Can't remember what I wore to church that day other than my new jacket. 

Day 632

Warm day! The shirt is about 3 years old and these are my newer skinny jeans and the flip flops are about 6 years old. 

Day 631

Not the best light, but I this is what I wore outside my house. My newer jacket, 7 year old flare jeans and probably WAY too much eye makeup. And j can't remember what shirt that was. 

Day 629-630

Didn't take any pics of myself. 

Day 628

A bit of a stressful day, but we got to talk to my little guys neurologist about all the drama with him and I got to go out for lunch with him also. I wore my newer hacker and skinny jeans with my over sized steelers shirt that I've had for about 3 or 4 years. 

Day 627

My parents left to go back home to California, so the only pic I got was with my mom at the airport. I was wearing my newer jacket and newer skinny jeans. 

Day 626

It snowed, but since my parents were here, I got my daddy to take a picture of the hubby and I. I'm wearing my pea coat I've had for almost 7 years I think, the skirt I've had for about 3, the shirt is about just as old, the hat is about 2 and a half years old, the boots were the ones with the best traction I could find and they're 12 years old and the infinity scarf of about 2 years old. 

Day 625

Skipped getting a pic, but I did get the hubby to dance with me at his cousins daughters wedding!

Day 624

Not the best lighting and it's the only pic of myself that I took. Wearing (I think) my white breast cancer awareness t-shirt and probably pj pants. 

Day 623

Another day spent at home working with my little guy, but my daughter wanted to be in the picture this time. I wore my new pacers shirt (about 2 months old) and probably yoga pants. 

Day 622

Spent the day trying to get my little guy feeling better and back to his sweet self and forgot to take a picture. 

Day 621

Stayed in my pjs all day because I could and was happy to finally be back home! That's the hubby's shirt and my pj pants I've had for about 3 years. 

Day 620

Stole one of my hubby's shirts that he thought to bring. Yes, I was crying, but they were happy tears. 

Day 619

Day 2 in the hospital with my little guy and wearing the same clothes. 

Day 618

More than a little bit of a stressful day. Ended up wearing the same shirt I slept in for the next few days because my second oldest decided to hang out in a children's hospital. 

Day 617

Cold day so I wore my new jacket that's a little big, but so comfy!

Day 616

Playing catch up from a month ago. This day I pretty much dressed so my kids would like me. 

Day 615

No nap today, but I did wear something other than one of the hubby's shirts. I've had the shirt for about 2 years and the pants are my newer skinny jeans. 

Day 614

My oldest had a check up and I had a nice migraine that's been around for about 4 days now. 😭 the hoodie belong to the hubby and the hat is mine, just my dogs chewed on it a little with they were puppies. 

Day 613

Fun morning. Got everyone ready for church and since it was going to be unseasonably warm, I opted for warmer season shoes. I'm horrible I know, but I miss living in California a lot. First I have to say I'm sorry for the look on my face, the hubby was being silly and it was really windy. The sweeter I've had for about 5 years, the shirt, almost 3 and the skirt I've actually had for 18 years. The shoes I've had for about 2 I think. 

Ok this picture, people will only understand if they've seen the little mermaid. He wasn't happy about getting ready for bed and I needed to cheer him up. The pants are the boot cut my mom got me, the shirt is my hubby's and the slippers are about a month old now. 

Day 609 - 612

Somehow all 4 kids ended up with colds and ya, was a little on the busy side. 

Day 608

Today I was interesting. Took my second oldest to a doctor appointment and yet somehow I ended up getting a blood test (hence the sad face picture). The shirt is the hubby's, the skinny jeans are about 3 years old and the pink hat is about 2 years old.
