Okay, well this has been a very long, unplanned absense (more like disappearance) on my part. I am going to work on getting back to all your comments this week as well. First off, we had major sickies that ended up with my oldest and youngest having pnuemonia. It was the cold/flu that wouldn't go away, three weeks of being a nurse...no thank-you. Also, as I had briefly mentioned, my husband isn't working right now, and not by choice. So, I switched to working days and took a lead position at the LOFT so I have been working over twice as much as I am used to. I don't know how I used to work full time and take care of the house. Working mom's my hat is off to you....bravo! Between work, school carpooling, baseball, wrestling and that whole making dinner for a family of six thing, I have hardly touched my computer. Oh, and then we all came down with the stomach flu this week within hours of each other. I will spare you the details but I assure you, it will go in my top five of the toughest things I have been through.
Now, I don't want to sound like a complainer I could have found a way to blog but my family needed me and they win. It was nice to be home more in the evenings and I truly love my job. Plus, I took the opportunity to work on my baking skills and we have thoroughly enjoyed eating a multitude of pies, lemon bars and homemade donuts. Things are hopefully going to get back to normal soon since my husband is about to go back to work (phew) and homemade banana pudding topped with meringue is about to go in the oven.

Welcome back! I can relate - I have a big role full time and barely have time to get anything done some weeks.
I love all the outfits on you, particularly the anthropology skirt.
So glad you are back!
long time reader, first time commenter-- family always has to come first! you're such a stand up (& fashionable) mom! your desserts sound delicious and i know your family appreciates you being there for them :)
Glad you are all feeling better!
glad you're back! love the outfits. good for you for taking care of your family first. you are a super mom!
Glad to hear you're all feeling better... Was worried when we hadn't heard from you in a few weeks. Here's hoping everyone continues to stay healthy!!
PS: how do you feel, having gone to a sales lead position at LOFT?
Also: do you feel the dresses coming in are a little more forgiving -- as far as lengths being longer and more of an a-line skirt/hem rather than a straight pencil?
Yay, you're back! Long time reader and lurker but this may be my first time commenting. Sorry to read about the difficulties of the past few weeks but so thrilled to have you back!
Glad you are back! I hope life calms down for you it sounds like things have been pretty hectic for you! Love all the outfits!
Ahhh...you're back! I've missed seeing your cute outfits, but is sounds like you've had good reason..you are one busy momma! Congrats on the promotion---they are so lucky to have you! =) Welcome back!
you look great & it's good to see your back! have a great Tuesday!!
Welcome back- we've missed ya! ;) I know we all need *breaks* now & then- it's such too bad yours wasn't a fun one! :(
Hopefully everyone stays healthy and life can get (somewhat) back to normal for all of you!?!
Your outfits looked great...as always! =)
I am glad your hubby is going back to work! You look so pretty all dressed up for work! I hope you are back but family totally comes first!
Welcome back!! The pictures aren't loading for me, but I imagine that you look amazing as always! I am happy that you made the most of your time away from blogging (homemade donuts?! do tell!), and that your husband is going back to work. Good luck with everything!
Welcome back!! Random comment - I was in Loft today and found this blue silky dress on clearance for $39.99. It's style #257875, has a silk sash tie and pleats on the back. It's a little dynasty and a little vintage. I kind of like it but can't decide how to style it. I also can't find any images of it online. Are you familiar? Thoughts?
Glad you are back. You look great even with the new jobs and all that happening in the family. I agree with you, family always win. Hope things are getting less hectic and we get to see you more often.
Good luck with everything, I hope it all evens out for you soon!
I hope things get better, but if you're husband is w.o a job why would you buy skirts that cost $100+ dollars a pop?
i love these images and your blog. Your style and vibe are great. really cute
