Moving Fashion Forward

One thing I have always wanted to do is to write a blog about fashion.  While I don't profess to be an expert, I have always had an interest in different styles, fits, and the more artistic sides of styling and designing.  When I became a mom I was more than a little confused about what kind of clothes I was supposed to wear being a mother and wife while still being young and hoping to look good.

Having figured out a bit of the retail side through outside and inside exposure I have been wanting to share tips on sales, different retailers pros and cons, and ultimately what kind of clothes are age-appropriate while still being functional for moms.  This new blog will be a bit of my fashion journal on what I am wearing, loving, and suggestions on how to look great without sacrificing all your money and comfort.  It is also a forum where anyone is welcome to ask for advice on certain topics, or how they could style and wear clothes they already have.  While it is aimed at moms it can also apply to women who are hoping to dress a bit more conservatively  for whatever reason, (and are over the mini skirt and tank top phenomenon!).

It a bit strange to announce a "launch", but I am looking forward to completing a bit more then opening the site up early next week!

Primary Program

Last Sunday was our ward's primary program, where the little kids sit on the stand and sing songs and have speaking parts.

I had been helping Nicholas with his line, "I can be together with my family forever" for the last few weeks and he has never had a problem with stage fright or remembering his parts.

When it came to his class' turn, his teacher had taken a microphone and was asking the kids the questions they were to answer.  Nicholas said his part without a hitch.  The girl next to him had clammed up, and the teacher waited patiently for her answer.  The second time, the teacher asked again, "Where do we come from?"  and Nicholas piped in, standing in front of the mic.

"I'm from L.A.!"

Total highlight of the program....

(p.s. L.A. friends who remember the "choo choo!" incident are probably not surprised :) )

If No News is Good News...

Here's the good news and the bad news. Which do you want first?

I'm a bad news first kind of person...

Bad news: Jared is going to be working and living somewhere without us :( . Big bummer is that the project lasts only 2 months so its not worth it to move with him until we're sure that it turns into a permanent position. Aaaand we have to figure out where in the heck the poor guy will live for 2 months!

Good news: Jared has another project lined up, and this time its in LA! Yay! We are looking forward to going to see him and visit all our favorite places. One perk of being away from Jared is that he will be super busy with work so he will have plenty of time to focus. Also, he is not too far, so we will be able to visit relatively easy on weekends. Its going to be a crazy time but the job is good and we're hoping the future prospects are even better. He starts at the beginning of next month so I will spent the next few weeks trying to get sick of him.

Did I mention I'm starting my Anthro job soon too?
