I found Lilly at TJMaxx!!

Okay first we had some homeschooling for my DS (dear son) and then we went to TJMaxx and looked for some Lilly as I had heard TJMaxx usually has Lilly There. Sure enough we found Lilly!!!! I was so excited to have found 3 different Shift dresses that were perfect and would fit me except that I am 6 months pregnant!! (That was disappointing to know I can not wear them right now). I did not buy them as I am not sure how long it will be before I could wear them but it is something to look forward to when I lose the weight. It is an incentive after I give birth! I have a goal: to fit into the Lilly shifts! I took a photo of all 3 with my cell phone but only one ended up getting saved to the phone so I will add the photo here. It was my fave of all three anyway. Sorry the lighting was so bad but cell pics don't always come out that great indoors. (My son broke my small camera recently. It was a nice one too. I am not into lugging the professional one into stores. lol) Maybe I will look for the dress on the Lilly site so you can see what it looks like in real life. :) ...Anyway, The dresses were at least 50% or more off the original! What a deal!! I love that!

 
Isn't this just the coziest outdoor furniture!? I love this. It is called Tropical by Frontgate The furniture and such that they have in this catalog are absolutely the best ever. I think everything in it is fabulous and I want it all. :)

 
I love this card!!! I had an inspiration the other day and I came up with this idea. I think it is just great and the perfect note card to send to anyone! You can look to the right and see a link to my Etsy store in my "fabulous links". It is called Preppy Place.

Enjoy!!

Lazy Saturday

Lazy days are arriving soon. The weather is getting much warmer. It is pretty mild here during the Winters here anyway but this Winter was brutal for our plants here in FL.

I walked out to the Lanai with my husband this morning and it was kinda humid and warm at 8am. That is a sign of the really hot times to come. In the summers here we have seen it get to 90 and severely humid by 8am. yuck! Don't bother with make-up or doing anything with your hair except a nice bun or ponytail.

I have a new card I made to put in my Etsy store. It is a gorgeous pink and green note card made with a toile design. It is just perfect to send to anyone. I love note cards. I think the old style of writing to each other and getting a fun handwritten note card in the mail is ultimately the best way to communicate with those that live far from us.

Anyway, my DH is out at a meeting and hoping to get a deal going for business. :)

Ciao for now!

work day

The kids and I worked in the yard today cutting down diseased branches off shrubs that were not looking so hot anymore. We also had a bad winter and there was a lot of frost that killed some plants that had to be dug up or cut out. Our front yard looks so bare right now. Our back also looks bare as I had to dig up the shrubs and the Gardinia. The shrubs will grow back but the Gardinia is toast. Luckily no one sees the back so I have to wrry about the front right now. We need to buy some mulch and remulch the areas and then replant waht we had to dig up. We have had no rain for months so we will have to be sparing on watering the plants as we are in a drought. That will make it hard for the plants to grow healthy but in time. :) We will make due with what we have now. Our rainy season starts in June so we are praying for a lot of it. Our hurricane season also starts in June so we are praying that those stay away. :)
