The Perfect Summer Dress

There's nothing like a pretty, flowing maxi dress in the summer. 

Flower Power!

There is nothing prettier than when all the flowers are in full bloom. We have a huge rhododendron bush in the front of our house that I have been cutting and trimming for the last year. It's such a beautiful plant but it is HUGE! I'm debating on cutting the whole thing and just landscaping with some little hostas and mulch but the flowers are just so pretty, I'm afraid I might miss them!

Carter is 8 months old today! I can't believe in just 4 months I have to go back to work :(. I'm absolutely heartbroken! I wish I could stay home with him everyday! It's just insane how much has changed since last month! He is now just crawling (I guess more like dragging himself lol) all over the place! He somewhat feeds himself with his spoon and eats little Baby Mum Mum cookies. And does he ever love Bentley! Lol he must think she's a fluffy little lion. He just goes crazy for her! He likes the Precious our Chihuahua too but he just adores our little crazy Pom.

I went and picked up some more beautiful peonies the florist ordered in for me :). They're are seriously the most beautiful flower! And I love the smell! Kyle thinks they smell kind of minty. I'm not sure what they smell like lol, just fresh I guess! I think I'm going to get some bulbs and try to plant some.... not that I will have any luck with it anyway. My 3 rhodos I tried to plant in the back yard bloomed for a couple days and now they look completely dead....I don't know what I did wrong!

My outfit for the day was perfect for today's whole "floral theme"! It was so bright and fun, and super girly!

A Stroll Through The Gardens

The hunt is over! I finally found some peonies! They're so gorgeous, they just make our home feel so much more glam lol!

Today was a pretty awesome day! Carter had his pediatrician visit and she did say he is still pretty under weight and we need to fatten him up (not awesome news). But... he crawled for the first time today! I was in tears! It was so cute. He also had his first baby "mum mum". It was so funny to watch him sucking away on this weird little rice cookie/cracker and mushing it everywhere in his little fists and all over his high chair tray (which was also super disgusting to clean lol, like a wet soggy cheesy, yummm)!

(Lol I think he likes it!)

The doctor wants us to give him butter in his food which actually sounds pretty crazy to me and beef stew with gravy. Doesn't it seem super weird to be giving an 8 month old butter and gravy??? I need to do some research on this before giving it to him. I don't want to give him any salt yet!

After Carters appointment we went for a little stroll through the public gardens. I love this place so much, but really, who doesn't?! It's so beautiful. We didn't get a chance to see the swans or the ducks (my favorite part) so we'll have to go back soon when we have more time.

Apparently tomorrow is going to rain, fingers crossed we get some sun :)

Denim Days

Finally no rain when I woke up :)! It wasn't very warm so I figured it was a good day for this long-sleeved denim shirt (actually my old maternity shirt lol)!

Carter has been in a better mood and pretty happy the last few days so it was perfect for some family photos!

Sweater Weather

Today kind of ruined our plans for going to the gun range. It rained all morning and afternoon but ended up pretty nice in the evening.It was a little bit windy and chilly down by the water, definitely sweater weather.

Still searching for peonies. No one has any! I ended up buying some bright daisies for now. The pink ones are so pretty!

Carter is getting even more irritable lately. It seems like he just wants to crawl around and get into everything. Only problem...he can't crawl yet lol. He sees things he wants when I'm holding him and starts freaking out pushing away from me,so I'll put him down but he's not going anywhere lol. Poor guy! Changing his diaper has turned into a real nightmare! He will not sit still and just wiggles all over the place. He's just ready to explore this great big world!

We were going to go to Pitch Perfect 2 but we had so much to do around the house we didn't get a chance to go. Hopefully next week. I really want to see it. I hear it's hilarious. Not that I'm surprised. I watch the first one all the time!

Here's hoping tomorrow is warmer. And the hunt for peonies continues...

Gypsy

I always say that if I could have lived during any era I would chose the 70's! I love everything about it!!! The hair (I mean come on, Farrah Fawcett's hair!),the clothes, disco, of course the music. 

Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band, EVER! Gypsy is one of my favorite songs, hence my blog post. I really wanted to go see them in Toronto last year but it was 2 days away from my due date (which ended up being the day after Carter was born) and I definitely couldn't fly anywhere! Well, hopefully I'll have the chance again someday. 

I think I need to throw a 70's themed party! That would be so amazing! I don't even know if I could decide on an outfit, there's so many I would want to choose.These jeans would definitely be one of my main choices!

I'm obsessed with these J Brand flares! I seen a photo of them and ordered them but I ended up with the wrong color. I really want the light ones but I still love these so much! I find them so flattering on every body type! 

Looking back I really wish I would have done my hair more 70's for these pictures. Oh well, looks like I've got some ideas to work on...
