In my absence I lived a little


Can I just start out by saying how much I love and appreciate each one of you for all your support and kind words on Friday's post
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 
You really know how to make a girl feel loved. 

Second of all...
I haven't picked up a real camera in what seems like a decade...
Instagram is my best pal nowadays. 
I love it and keep up with a bunch of you that way. 
I just love getting to see little glimpses of your lives throughout the day. 
You can find me at 'tatianal11' and we can stalk each other that way.  

This post is kind of a modge-podge of what you've missed when I was away. 
Truly important stuff. 
Like my first pair of online shoes. 
We've spent many a fun bright hours together since then. 


And first and second ice-cream cones. 

And really horrible, awful, borderline unforgivable mommy mistakes. 
But to be fair, SHE DID MOVE! 
Like my good pal Emily pointed out, she may resemble Lloyd from "Dumb and Dumber."
Mercy.  
What a good pal that Emily is. 
Thanks Em. That's like getting a kick in the female genitalia after giving birth. 
I kid. I kid. 

But there ain't nothin' that a little hairspray can't fix. 
She's good as new, yeah? 

The leading man and I also decided for the bizzilionth time in the last 5yrs of marriage that we need more date nights. And time alone.  
 So we did that a time or two.  


Giada and I have been spending a lot of time at the park since this weather decided to bless us with more warm sunny days. 


 Girlfriend has a blast every single time. 
Yesterday we even made it to the water park for the first time this year and she went nuts. 


I'm a dark chocolate lover for life! 
That being said, kinder gets me every time. 
Those little babies are heifer-sizing my thighs. 
They are addicting!  

I've been saying lately that I need to put a little more effort into dressing up and not looking like a total homeless person. 
Mostly bc I feel better about myself when I do, but also because I'm tired of pretending that I don't recognize people in stores whom I work or go to church with every week. 
It's been that bad. 




Enjoy your middle of the week day friends! 

Linking up with this fab lady here

Love all your dresses. You are adorable! And the bangs...oh the bangs. Hahahaha. The hairspray worked wonders. She is cute either way. :)

Colleen said...

Looove your one date night dress!! As for dressing up, I hit that road a few months ago...my poor hubby! I decided I needed to wear something more than sweats for him!! And with the hair, no worries it grows back! Plus it's inevitable at some point shell do it to herself too! ;)

Courtney said...

Tracy said...

Look at you hottie!
Love the yellow shoes - they just look happy.
And loving those bangs on Giada. Watching my hair stylist give Landon a hair cut has assured me that I will not be cutting his hair for a long time.
Yay for date nights. Keep doing it!

Candice said...

All of those dresses are hot! Hard to believe you'd ever have to hide from anyone due to your fashion choices!

Meri said...

You're looking great mama! The effort to dress up shows and it pays off, you look hot! I for one like g's bangs!

carissa at lowercase letters said...

can you just please box up all your clothes and send them to me?? ; )

Kerri said...

You look beautiful my friend!! I love that last white lace dress :) I know about wanting to not feel like a "grunge" all the time. Because I spend three days out of the work week in a formaldehyde-filled lab, I wear the worst thing I can find- old scrubs and a tshirt. And since my knee has been bothering me, add a knee brace to that and the look is quite striking, let me tell you ;) haha! Have a good weekend girly!

Faith said...

awww you are so adorable! i need to pay more attention about how i dress too- i'm almost always in workout clothes! her hair looks adorable!!! no worries, it'll grow back! :) i remember doing the same in my littles. never. again. haha. and date nights are so far and few in between but oh so worth it! have a blessed week!

Christy said...

Just as people say that only one time in life you can look cute with dimples on your rear while wearing a diaper, same applies to your sweet Giada. She can rock whatever she's got & still be super adorable:)

Add onto that you look smokin' lady!!

Kara @ Just1Step said...

Love the shoes, and you look super awesome in your dresses. :) No worries about the bangs, she's still a beauty, and they'll grow out! :) At least you can do barrettes and hairspray...it's harder when it happens with a boy.

Courtney B said...

HA HA! I still love the bang pictures!! Gosh, she is so dang CUTE!

Hilary Lane said...

I'm glad you're back! I'm following you on instagram!
