This week felt extremely short. Monday the kids were off with me, and today Brian and I are keeping Olivia home from school to spend the entire day with her for her birthday. That only left three days for me to get some things done, but I managed to be super productive during those days!
And now some favorites from
the week!
O N E – Old Navy Sale (Toddler Girls)
This past week my friend
Katie texted me to let me know that Old Navy was having a HUGE sale, so I did
what any other Old Navy loving person would do and I immediately pulled up the website
on my phone and I LOADED UP. Olivia has
outgrown pretty much everything from last summer so she will need a whole new
wardrobe, so I figured it would be smart to go ahead and get it while the
gettings good!
And FYI today only you can get 30% off of your entire order, and always free shipping for orders over $50.
As of yesterday, these dresses were still only $6!!!! SIX
DOLLARS, Y’ALL. An entire outfit for
only $6! It comes in light pink, yellow,
and baby blue and I bought one in every single color!
This dress right here was on
sale for $12 and it comes in lilac, rose, and black. I picked up two of those… they are perfect
for really hot days and aaaallll the heart eyes for those ruffles!
How darling is this one?? I am a sucker for gingham so this
one is on its way to our house as well!
It is currently only $6 which is even cheaper than what we paid for it!
And y’all, they also have
the tutu dress for summer! Olivia had
one of the long-sleeve tutu dresses this past winter and she wore it out! I’m so excited to see a sleeveless
version! And it comes in six different
colors. Only $10 today! It would make an adorable Easter dress.
And I’m SO SAD that I didn’t
see this one the other day. I would have
definitely ordered it! I love the chambray
so much!
They also have all of the
fitted shorts to wear under dresses on sale today as well… they are only $4
each and they come in 10 different colors and patterns. I love this floral version! Olivia pretty much lives in dresses so she
always wears shorts under them during the summer so she can still flip and roll
around and play and feel comfortable.
We also picked up these shoes because they’re perfect for playing on the playground during the summer,
but they still look cute with all of the dresses she wears!
And these are darling as
well.
T W O – Old Navy Sale (Ladies)
I’m LOVING this off the shoulder jersey dress… it looks so comfy and cool for spring, but the
off-the-shoulder makes it so fun! It would
be perfect for a date night.
And my FAVORITE jersey knit swing dresses are back yet again in new colors and patterns! I LIVE in these dresses during the summer,
y’all. They are comfy, cool, and you can
dress them up for work or you can dress them down. I think I have four of them!
This cold shoulder top is
fun as well!
My go-to for skinny jeans in
fun colors has always been these Rock Star Jeans. They have them in lots of new colors this
spring, and I’m loving these mint ones, which is funny, because I’ve never
really gotten into the whole mint craze…
Has anybody ever tried
leggings from Old Navy? I love the
knotted details on these, but I’m so spoiled by my Zella Live-In leggings I’m
not sure I want to ever buy another brand.
My love for Old Navy runs
deep, y’all. DEEP. I swear I feel like they design most of their
pieces to target me directly. Haha.
T H R E E – These Tanks Are Only $5.88!!!!
Walmart has really stepped
up their fashion game these last few years, and although I never go there
specifically to shop for clothes, every now and then something will catch my
eye as I’m there shopping for something else.
Ladies, they have THE CUTEST cage-back camis right now for only $5.88 each!
They come in 12 different solid colors and patterns, they are light, and LOOK
AT THE BACK! The fabric is extremely
soft… they almost have a linen feel. I
tried one on and they are true to size.
I wear a small for reference.
Load up load up load
up! These are PERFECT for summer!
F O U R – Soccer is Back
Soccer started for Jacob a
week ago yesterday and he’s already had three practices. He’s on the same team as last season, but only
two of his teammates are the same as last season. He has been enjoying practices again and I
think it’s going to be another great season!
He is already looking a little more confident this season than last
season!
F I V E – Day Off with My Babes & Celebrating B
Monday was President’s Day
so the kids were both out of school. We
met B for pizza for lunch, played on the playground, and then we got everything
set up for Brian’s birthday. His
birthday was Tuesday, but Jacob had soccer that evening, so we celebrated
Monday instead. For part of his gift, I
bought 40 different craft beers (40 beers for 40 years!) and we also got a
cookie cake. I had asked B where he
wanted to go for his birthday dinner, and he randomly said IHOP even though I
think we’ve only been there twice together ever… and not even in the last ten
years. Not to mention it’s a weird place
for a birthday dinner. Haha. He wanted to go there because he knew the
kids would enjoy it since they love breakfast for dinner so much.
Little did he know, I had
arranged for his best friend and his family to meet us for dinner to surprise
him, but they love IHOP, too, so they didn’t mind his restaurant of
choice. B’s BFF practically used to live
at our house before we had kids… we hung out all the time. Now that we all have kids (five among the two
families to be exact) and now that Casey (his BFF) has a job that requires him
to travel the majority of the time, we rarely get to see him. Sometimes a year goes by without us seeing
him and he lives in the same city that we do.
So it was great to catch up with him and see him and it was a great
evening celebrating our old man!
Finally, before I go, I
wanted to mention it here on the blog since I think it’s so important. Lately I have had many new ladies commenting
here on my blog and I so appreciate all the love! I respond to every single comment via email,
but if your email address is not attached to your Blogger account I can’t
respond to you directly and it makes me so sad!
If I can’t respond to you directly via email I always respond right here
on the blog, but I don’t think most people ever see the responses. Anyway, I just want all of the ladies who
never hear back from me to know that I’m trying to respond and I want to – I
REALLY DO – but there’s no way for me to get in touch with you if your email
address isn’t available.
If you want to find out if
you are a no-reply blogger, check out this blog post here by my friend
Emily. Just follow the steps real quick
and she’ll show you an easy way to fix it!
Well, that’s it for
today! As I said before, B and I are
spending the entire day with just Olivia for her birthday so it should be a fun
day! We have always taken off from work
and kept each child home for all of their birthdays because it’s something
extra special to do. Not to mention it gives
that child a chance to have Mommy and Daddy all to themselves for the day. We are going to let her pick where to go for
breakfast and lunch and I’m sure we’ll also spend some time outside at the
playground. Not sure what else is on the
agenda, but it should be a fun day!

Those swing dresses I have worn from bathing suit cover ups to family pictures! I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteSO many celebrations in our house this month!! enjoy the day with B and Olivia and happy birthday to her! xo,Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteOlivia is going to be SO well dressed this summer. So many cute dresses and shoes! I rarely go to WalMart (Target is closer for me and usually a little less crazy), but now I want to go check out those tanks. I have been on the hunt for a white one forever and it looks perfect! Happy Birthday again to B - what a sweet surprise you did for him with having his friend meet you guys out. I am sure he just loved it! And yes - I always hate seeing that darn no reply blogger email. Hopefully the tutorial will help some people!
ReplyDeleteLove all the cute finds for Olivia! I need to go through closets and hammy down bins to see what we have for summer soon because we are going to AZ for spring break and will be wearing warm weather clothes again -- all the jazz hands! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute in your swing dresses, I just placed my 2nd Old Navy order and have loved everything I have gotten so far. Those little Olivia dresses are darling and what a steal!! Keep on celebrating right into the weekend girlfriend!!
ReplyDeleteOld Navy is such a great store!! I haven't been to one in far too long!! And I love that you were able to surprise Brian! How fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Old Navy. I sometimes wish Gabbie was still a toddler to fit into those adorable clothes, lol! I did notice the swing dress comes in yellow this year and I want it! I am glad you had fun celebrating Brian's birthday!
ReplyDeleteFor athletic leggings at Old Navy, SIZE UP. I ordered a few pairs over the holidays and got a small and holy waistband. Thankfully, I only took the tags off of one pair and was able to return the rest. They were so tight!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're the second person to tell me that! I will definitely do that!
DeleteAll the gingham from Old Navy - LOVE! Old Navy has some really cute items right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw on FB that there was an old navy sale and I went and bought the girls little jumpsuits for Easter and those cute simple sandals that you posted. I love it and can't wait to see it all put together. What a great birthday. Have fun celebrating Olivia today!
ReplyDeleteWe drove past Old Navy today and I saw that they were having a huge sale in the store but we didn't have time to stop. :( I'm going online right now to see if they have any of the same deals! I have tried their leggings and I really love them! They are one of my favorite pairs!
ReplyDeleteI hope you found some great deals! And thank you! I might have to try their leggings!
DeleteI just placed a huge Old Navy order the other day but somehow messed those six dollar dresses!! I think I'm going to somehow have to get them ! I hope you guys enjoy your day with Olivia 😊
ReplyDeleteOld Navy is just the best! I could seriously get the boys whole wardrobe from there. I'm glad it was a fun time celebrating his birthday. I hope you all have a great weekend! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteI think it is such a good thing that I had all boys; I would go broke outfitting a little girl! Those are such cute dresses and shoes!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I feel the same way!! They have the cutest stuff!
DeleteThis is the post with all of the cute clothes! I really want to get a tank top style swing dress this year. I need to watch for a good sale on them. I wear ON leggings all the time. They are typically my go too. I can't remember which ones I buy though. The ones with more of a rise to them really keep things pulled in, which I love.
