Bag Lady
You can call me the bag lady or you can call me crazy, but I could NEVER have TOO many handbags. I find them to give every outfit that little extra 'umph' to make it complete. Here are a few I feel like I couldn't live without....

Flamingo
This dress is a perfect summer staple. It's pink and has Flamingos on it. The photo shows the V in the front and the alternate views show the model wearing the dress with the V in the back. Seems to me this could be worn either way, which is an extra perk for me. Can't wait to get this beauty in the mail. I am picturing gold jewelry and nude shoes. Wedges perhaps!!!

First 5K
I wrote this a while ago and finally feel like I can post it...
Unfortunately, I woke up Saturday morning with a forecast of rain, this obviously was not in my favor. I got dressed and ready for the race anyway and headed on my way to Forest Park. As soon as the car was put in park it started sprinkling and the clouds were getting darker. I got out of the car and headed to the start line and by then it was coming down. I stood there with my husband and friends for 30 minutes before they canceled the race due to unsafe weather conditions for the racers. Utter disappointment set in.
Everyone wanted to go get our medals for the race and I was so confused. Why do I deserve this medal? I didn't complete the race and I didn't want a medal saying I did. It would have made me feel shame, like I was saying I did something that I really didn't do. Chris got me a medal anyways and told me that I deserved it for all the hard work that led up to the race. That was what was important. I stuck with the training and I worked hard to get there.
We headed back to the car and went back home. I kept saying over and over again in the car how disappointed I was. I just wanted to be able to finish something that I started. I trained for 8 weeks and I was ready to prove to myself that I could do it and that I stuck with it no matter how hard it may have been at the time.
The more and more I thought of this, I have come to the conclusion that even though I didn't go through the motions of actually running in Forest Park for 3.1 miles, I did with the it and I could do it on my own. I don't need to sign up for a race to set a goal for myself. I can accomplish this on my own. I am going to go ahead and run my 5k and I can tell myself, "You did it!!!"
Here we are pre-race.

To Buy or Not To Buy
In my life, this has become a daily question!!! I just love having new and fresh things. I like to have everything perfectly together and I fret about having it all look right. I am not sure if that is the impression people get when walking into my home or seeing me walking down the street or shopping in a store, but for me this is something I always try to achieve. With that being said, I like to have something for everything.
For instance, if I had a wine party at my home and was going to use the outside deck wouldn't I want some nice acrylic wine glasses? Of course!!! I already have the matching pitcher that I bought a year or so ago so why not get the glasses?
You tell me do I need or not?

Black Bean and Salsa Sloppy Joes
Tried a little something different last night in the Miller household. We took part in a Meatless Monday!!! I was skimming through a Parenting magazine one evening and saw this a recipe for Black Bean and Salsa Sloppy Joes. The photo looked so delicious and it seemed so easy to make so of course I tore out the recipe and put it in my "to make pile" of recipes.
Now normally this recipe would have gotten lost in the shuffle or would have never made the next test, which is Chris approving of the meal selection. Don't get him wrong, he will eat almost anything I make and he doesn't actually dictate the meals in our house, but it is nice to have him make the meal selections from time to time to keep the guessing work out of my realm.
So, this past weekend I gave him a stack of new recipes that I have been wanting to try and told him to pick one. He actually picked the Vegetarian option. I was shocked, but excited at the same time!!! It looked so good and I was excited to break out and make something we normally wouldn't make. Needless to say, since I am posting about it, he loved it and so did I.
Serves 4: In a skillet, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic gloves and saute for 1 minute. Stir in 2 1/2 cups rinsed and drained canned black beans, one 15 oz jar chunky salsa, 1 tbsp each brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon onto whole-wheat buns and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Sloane's 1st Easter
You would think that every major holiday that comes our way for Sloane is like going to the Grammy's for her. I mean the thought and effort I put into every outfit is a bit ridiculous. Should I really care though? Well at the moments of trying to pick her dress out I was stressed to the max. I'm pretty sure there should be a pill for the amount of stress one can have over their daughter's 1st Easter dress. Oh well, I however, love it and don't care that I stress about little stuff!! It doesn't make me a bad parent. It just means I care and it means a lot to me to see her cute and happy. I have been waiting for moments like this for quite sometime now. I always imagined dressing up my baby girl in the cutest dresses that not only reflect her personality, but a bit of myself as well.
Needless, to say the outfit was just as perfect as she is. Sample here.
Bobby hunting for those eggs. He had to help out little brother Henry, (below) and cousin Sloane.
Henry doesn't care for what is in the eggs he just wants to pick up rocks and put them in his mouth.
I especially love the fact that she looks a bit like a bunny herself with the teeth she has. Ha!!!
I slaved over her Easter basket along with some goodies for my niece and nephews. I was a bit pinterest inspired and made carrots using a pasty bag, gold fish and some green string. I then made s'mores using peeps instead of traditional marshmallows. They turned out really cute, but I think I cared more about them than the kiddos. Here is what the Easter basket looked like.
You can see she is also ready for the beach with a swim suit, matching swim hat, cover up, jelly sandals and some fun sunglasses.
Here are some more fun photos from the day...
Grace playing peek a boo with cousin Sloane. Grace gets her to laugh the best!!! She has some serious skills when it comes to peek a boo!!!

Pink For All Sizes
If you now me at all, you know I have a love for the color pink. Always have, and always will!!! You can imagine the excitement I had a year ago when I was two months away from giving birth to my first born, now my daughter of 10 months, Sloane. At that stage in my pregnancy, I thought to myself of all the cute little outfits I would buy for her and dress her in and she wasn't even born yet. You can now imagine her closet and the many of shopping sprees I still go on. Really!!! You can ask anyone, I buy her way too much clothes!!!
Here is my latest find that I just ordered for her and another find that I found for myself. Did you really think I wasn't going to reward myself after finding something so cute for Sloane. Come on now, that would have just been plain silly!!!
For Sloane
For Me
