Stone Mountain, Georgia - family time!

Okay so I am not sure how fashionable one can be expected to be when on vacation with 4 children and having ridden in a car ALL day before arriving at Stone Mountain, GA, but this is what I came up with:

Yeah, I know.......not exciting, but I thought I would post anyway. My hair is dried out (2 days of traveling in the car will do that :(, my make-up is almost non existent, etc., but that is just the way it goes. What I do love about this outfit is the sweater, actually. It may not be super exciting in these pics, but I was complimented on it while checking out at a shop in Stone Mountain park (girl said, "I love your sweater. You are a hot mommy" - she was quite a bit younger than me -LOL!;)  Seriously, who doesn't love to get a compliment like that and how much better is it when you are feeling less than pretty?? 

Okay, back to the sweater; it is super comfy and though I wore it with skinnies it would go just as well with leggings. The length is perfect, loved the weight and in person the color is very pretty (oatmeal w/ coral specks in it). 

Sweater: Forever 21(sold out, but they have similar ones and there is a 30% promotion until 11/21/12!)

Skinny Jeans: a.n.a via JC Penney

Boots: "Jessii" - old (Madden Girl)

Vest: Three Hearts via Marshall's

On top of Stone Mountain.....you could see the downtown Atlanta skyline from here. It was beautiful (and slightly scary!)

Me and my precious baby girl getting some much needed time to stretch our legs in the "Play barn" at Stone Mountain. She loved to be out of her car seat for a few hours!

I did want to throw in a few photos from Stone Mountain.....it really was a very cool place.  We had never been as a family (although both my husband and I have been told that we went as very young children). It was definitely a great place for a young family and we all enjoyed it - even our 8 month old.

Yes, we had to take that to get to the top.....I was not excited about this part.

I took this from the Sky Lift ride....it was incredible!

My precious family! See the city in the distance? So cool!

Okay, back to planning more fun things to do on our trip!  We will be arriving at Disney in Orlando in a few hours :)

Mommy Style

So this morning was very busy!  All 3 boys were off school today and we had parent teacher conferences followed by our school's annual "skating party" at the local Rollerina.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am the Yearbook "person" so I have to attend events and take pictures to make sure I will have photos to put in the book! I actually really enjoy taking pictures and I usually have a partner in crime (my co-chair), but she was out of town today so I was on my own for this event. My husband did come with me so that made it a bit easier to wrangle 4 children (one of them 8 months old!) and all the activities.   To accomplish all of this I pulled together a very casual and comfortable outfit complete with my favorite ballet flats to navigate the wood skating floor so I could help my 6 year old on skates AND manage to get a few pictures of the other students as they skated by!

Cardigan(old): Target

Polka Dot Blouse: Forever 21

Skinny Jeans: a.n.a. (find here)

Flats: Coach (find here and here)

Scarf: hand made from Etsy store

Watch: Michael Kors (find here) & Bracelet (on left arm): super cheap turq bangle - can't remember where I got it!

Tiffany & Co. bracelet on right arm

Stella & Dot ring on right hand

Earrings: (can't even see them in pic so see above!) Stella & Dot (here)

Handbag: Michael Kors - found at TJ Maxx for almost half the price they are selling for on MK's website! It was the only one in that style and lonely so I had to take it home (plus I had been craving it for a while! Imagine how excited I was to see it hanging there before my eyes one glorious day this past week!! ;)

Find it here

Momma on the go! :) 
I am also toting my Oi Oi Diaper bag (find here) - LOVE! And check out this  Quinny stroller (the only full size stroller that will fit my daughter's car seat by Maxi Cosi and folds up small enough to fit behind the third row seat when it is in the fully upright position!) Super easy to push and operate - worth the investment! We bought this one at a discount at Buy Buy Baby as they had accidentally "assembled too many of them" and didn't have room to keep them all on the floor. It was my lucky day!  Saved us $150!!! :)

Okay, now typically I wouldn't have both bags at the same time. But for the sake of getting a shot of them both and the size comparison, I wanted you to see them together. The MK bag is big, bug fairly light weight compared to the diaper bag and MUCH more organized on it's interior. I HATE digging in my purse and this bag has a pocket and compartment for everything. In love..... 
No worries - I will NOT be using the MK for a diaper tote ;)

Thanks for visiting today!
