Dressing up

Since New Year's Eve is just around the corner, I thought I'd also share a link to their mother of the bride dresses, which has both dresses meant for weddings and also just some pretty special occasion outfits. The outfits above are two of my favorites. What do you think? Do any of you older women have advice for dressing up without looking too young? I've always been a conservative dresser, but I'm even more conscious of it now that I'm a mom. Anyone have advice on dressing the part while still looking nice?

Have you seen this trailer? It's visually stunning, but I'm not sure what the movie is about... guess we'll have to watch it!

I love the detail that went into wrapping these gifts! I might like gift wrapping more than gift-getting. It's so much fun! 

These arctic animal wrapping papers are a new favorite. I love the colors!

We're gonna need one of these...

I'm pregnant again! Thus the bloggers block. Baby number 2 will join us sometime next August, and I can't wait. We'll have 2 under 2 cause we're crazy like that and think it will be a blast. We had an ultrasound today confirming that baby's doing great. I'm about 7 1/2 weeks along and everything looks good. Keep us in your prayers!

More blogging to come, some gift ideas and another sponsored post (bear with those - I make lots of moolah from them. If you all totally hate them I'll quit, but at Christmas I couldn't say no to an extra $200....) 

I'm excited to rejuvenate things around here! I miss my little blog corner of the world :)
