Wardrobe Wednesday

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

I am posting an outfit from last Sunday morning.

My hubby and I went to the Honda Classic http://www.thehondaclassic.com/. Although, I am not a golfer, my husband is a HUGE golf fan. Every Saturday morning he volunteers his time at the First Tee of the Palm Beaches http://www.thefirstteepalmbeaches.org/Club/Scripts/Home/home.asp. It is a 45 minute drive from our house and each week he drives up just to give free golf lessons to children. I couldn't be more proud of him.

So, this past weekend the Honda Classic took place in Palm Beach Gardens. Dave spent Saturday volunteering and then staying to watch the tournament. Sunday morning he took me up to check it out. I really do love going to golf tournaments with him. It is fun to be outside in the beautiful weather and also walking each hole to follow the players. It really is amazing to see how talented they are in person.

The outfit I picked was what I wore to the tournament. I wanted to be comfortable but stylish. Plus, I had a lunch with the girls at Neiman Marcus afterwards and I wanted my outfit to be versatile so that all I had to do was throw on a different purse and a cardigan after the golf outing.

Remember my style is add expensive things with a touch of cheaper items to balance it out and keep it affordable!

Top: Ralph Lauren Polo

Pants: Victoria's Secret Skinny Pencil Pant in Stretch Twil

Belt: H&M

Shoes: Tory Burch (Nordstrom)

Purse: Gift from my Mom years ago...it is great for theme parks, tourist excursions, etc.

Jewelry: Earrings- Francesca's, Watch-Michael Kors

* I really wanted my jewelry and sunglasses to match the gold tones with my purse and shoes

Wardrobe Wednesday

This week I picked the outfit that I wore Sunday night for my Supper Club/Oscar Dinner Party! Each month we go to a couple's house and that couple hosts the dinner for the evening. This month it happened to be at the Shutts' household. We decided to give it an Oscar theme since it was taking place during the Academy Awards. We had a red carpet "plastic table cloth" down the hall for everyone to walk. Each guest was seated at the dinner table, where a gold star displayed their name. They also had sunglasses in the shape of stars to wear throughout the evening. Before the show started everyone was handed a ballot to fill out and prizes were given to the winners. Finally, during dinner as the celebrities walked the red carpet on t.v. in the background, we went around the dinner table and spoke about which designer we were wearing that evening! It was a glamorous event!

Dinner Menu:
Appetizer-Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Main Course- Steak, Spinach and Bacon Pasta Toss, Parmesan Peas
Dessert- Strawberry Short Cake

KiDS KorNER

I thought I would update my KiDS korNER with a few little stories that I remember. The kids say stuff everyday that makes me laugh, but whether I remember it or not is the problem.

A little boy said that he was playing on the playground with his friends and they were, "Trying to get the debil."
Teacher translation, "Get the devil"
Another teacher nearby heard him say this and asked him, "how did you know the devil was around?" The little boy said that there was garbage on the playground so he knew the "debil" had left it.

One little girl told me that she was allergic to her Mom's car. When I asked her why or how she knew, she said "well I always throw up in it." I discovered that she must get car sick.

A little boy today told me that money grows on trees in Canada and Russia. This was news to me! I better take a vacation soon to visit these money trees.

One of my all time favorite laugh out loud stories is from about five years ago. I was teaching kindergarten and a little girl said, "My Daddy goes to the tibby bars on the weekend!" When another teacher asked what he did their she responded, "watches the cheerleaders". Now I will let you figure that one out!!!!



Wardrobe Wednesday

The outfit I chose is from Sunday night. We had a wonderful BBQ with friends. Dave and I made the side dishes and Katie and Billy made the ribs. I knew we were going to a BBQ so I wanted to wear something comfy that also had a lot of space for growing due to over eating. Our menu consisted of ribs, cornbread, Texas potatoes and green bean casserole. It was a great feast.

Ormond Beach

We spent the weekend with my in-laws up in Ormond Beach!

We love going up to Ormond because it is a change of pace. The life style up in Ormond is quiet, relaxing, less traffic, less people, golf, empty beaches, bike riding, and lots of nature! Dave and I love leaving our crazy stressful life to go visit family and just chill.

Saturday morning the boys golfed and the girls shopped and grabbed lunch-it was really nice. In the afternoon, I decided to take a two hour nap and a read my book that I can't put down, "The Help". The four of us then went out for happy hour and dinner. We came home early and enjoyed a chocolate birthday cake.

Sunday I got up and ran 4 miles while the boys played golf.  When we all gathered together again we went up to the Club house and grabbed brunch. Then Dave, Kathy and I went and got manis/pedis. We finished off the weekend with some more comfy couch time and then Dave and I hit the road for the 3.5 hour drive south.

Valentine's Day

I never got around to posting about Valentine's Day! It was our first Valentine's Day as a married couple and to be honest we had so much going on that we weren't in the mood to do anything crazy. We had celebrated my birthday the week before and just had come back from taking a romantic weekend trip to Plam Island Resort. The morning started off like any other usual work day. Dave left to go workout with Kevin. As they were gone I decided to surprise them with a Valentine's Day breakfast. I made heart shaped pancakes, scrambled eggs and juice. When Dave walked in from the gym at 7am I had the music playing and the breakfast scent filled the room. He loved my surprise and we sat down, with Kevin too and all of us had a wonderful meal. So, we both exchanged cards that night that we each wrote personal messages in to eachother. We carried out Outback and had a simple dinner. It was a fantastic Valentine's Day!

Wardrobe Wednesday

Sorry for the delay in Wardrobe Wednesday. Yesterday got away from me and I realized while I was in bed that I forgot to post an outfit. The outfit that I am posting is from this past weekend. It is a photo of me by the dock waiting for the water taxi to take us to dinner at a restaurant about 10 minutes away. I think this dress would look much better with wedges and although I brought a pair with me, I decided to skip wearing them because I was doing a lot of walking through sand, but I do think brown wedges would look much better to dress this up!

Navy Dress: H&M

Striped Scarf: Made by my best friend for my birthday, Miss Cara Price
