a month ago i bought this dress on roxy. within 24 hours i was informed it was out of stock. ugh.

earlier this week i was online and decided to see if the dress was back in stock on roxy. no luck. so i googled it and up popped sports chalet. they had this beauty in stock so i snagged one quick.  i love it's casual bohemian feel. during summer i prefer dresses to shorts. i really don't like to wear shorts. 

if you're still with me, great.  thanks too for sticking with me during my blog dry spell.  everyone tells me i cannot lose site of my outside interests.  it's easy to say when your husband isn't the one fighting cancer.  love them for encouraging me though.

She's a star

Today my Harper's Bazaar arrived in the mail and I was pleasantly surprised to see Britney Spears on the cover. She is looking gorgeous in this Dolce & Gabbana star gown. Don't cha think?


Her summer tour kicks off in Sacramento, CA which I am right next to so I debating if me and my sistas should go. The tickets are a bit high so I can't decide.
Are you a Britney fan? What's the most you'd spend or have spent on a concert?

How adorable is this ABC's wall?  I love how original and fun it is for any family or kids rooms. 

buy yours here

Recently I purchased the pottery barn kids book kids' rooms and it is filled with creative ideas for decorating your kids rooms, similiar to the abc wall.  If you are on the hunt for a book about kids spaces then I highly recommend this book. 

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend.  You?  We had family in town which kept us busy and distracted.  The boys loved playing with their cousins and I got to fit in some girl time with my sis in law at a local wine bar.  It was yummy wine, delicious cheese and great company.  Thanks Rita!  

Also, this weekend my hubs and his bro launched our boat and parked her in her new home, the dock at Browns Ravine at Folsom Lake.  It only took 5 1/2 years of waiting for this spot but we are beyond excited to be able to use our boat this summer since it will be so much easier. 

Since the weather has been a bit chilly we all didn't go out on the boat with the kids but will soon. 

How was your weekend?  Do you waterski or is that not your thing?

A quick trip

Here's the view from our hotel room at the Marriot in Salt Lake City, Utah.


We are here for my hubbies work, he's participating in a trade show and I tagged along. I got to help work the booth yesterday which I actually enjoyed. Following the show we had a quick break to change then headed to the Market Street Grill in downtown Salt Lake. It was good and the strawberry shortcake was so yummy!
We leave tomorrow and although I've enjoyed our trip, I cannot wait to get home to our boys. A big thanks to grandma for watching them and making sure they are having a blast.

Only bummer of the trip, I was hoping to visit Alice Lane Home but discovered that it is in Orem Utah. Maybe next time.
