clothing.femenine.and sexy in it's simplicity.

You know how I said I love clothes from the 50's? I wasn't kidding. Where can I find clothes like this? That won't break the bank? Wish I knew how to sew well enough to sew myself some clothes but quite frankly, what I would sew would look like I had sewn it. But look at these dresses...

What did I tell you. Classy. And these were their get the chores done dresses. Now here is what I want to know. How in the world did women keep figures like that? It seems completely insanely crazy that they had waists that size. That small. I would have to seriously starve myself and I still couldn't get down to that! I actually have a friend who dresses like this on a regular basis. She also has a figure that can pull it off. She also didn't carry and give birth to six children. So, I think I can cut myself some slack. I bet these women wore "suck in your gut" underclothing. I bet they even could have hinged on a Kierra Knightly in Pirates of the Carribean incident. I am going to tell myself that to feel better anyway. ;o)

This style has an inherent issue though and that is the heals thing. I think dresses like this beg for sassy heals. I can't wear heals due to my SI joint injury. So, can I pull off the 50's look with flats? Can I find vintage looking dresses like this for a decent price? I did find these dresses on Shabby Apple that are adorable but pricey for my budget. *Sigh* I did enter to win a dress from them though, so maybe the domestic experiment goddesses will be with me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
