WIW: Fresh Produce

What I Wore: Fresh Produce

I love a dress that is fancy enough for Church yet still casual enough for everyday wear.  Meet that dress:

Dress, Wrap Cardigan: c/o Fresh Produce,

Shoes: Soda, Necklace: Lisa Leonard

There's something about wearing a hood that makes me really happy.  Like Christmas morning happy. I know, weird.  It seems hoods make me feel younger and even a bit mysterious...two qualities I imagine are fleeting for most of us busy Mommas. 

What I'm getting at is...I wear hoods whenever I get the chance.

And then I turn up a favorite Jay Sean song, grab Baby W's little hands and dance around the living room like I'm 12 years old--which always sends Baby W into a fit of hysterical belly laughter. 

You would laugh too, if you saw me attempting to dance.

Be sure to check out the new ME line by Fresh Produce.

Daytime dresses, party dresses, cardigans, tanks and camis galore.

All made of some of the most divine fabric I have ever run my hands across.

Comfortable, versatile, and totally my style--I am loving my new outfit courtesy of Fresh Produce. 

And if you were my real life, in person BFF, then you would have been lucky enough to see me wear my new wrap cardigan three days in a row--yep, I'm cereal {that means "serious" in goofy kid talk}.

Happy Shopping!

On another note,

you know the burlap table runner from my Kitchen Sneak Peek post?

Well, I talked my Momma into spending the whole day sewing with me so I could put a handful of these fun pretties in my shop for y'all.  There are only 8 left.

Lisa Leonard Giveaway: TWO WINNERS

Lisa Leonard Designs Giveaway

{and a few anecdotes}

You know that dinner party I went to the other night?

I don't know if I told you, but I only knew a couple of the ladies that would be there. So I was a tiny bit nervous about the whole get to know you portion of the evening.  But...as it turns out, I had the perfect ice breaker. The first gal I met had on this SUPER adorable necklace that I recognized immediately--it was a Lisa Leonard design, of course.

Well, I didn't want to be that girl, who says, ya know, I'm kinda friends with Lisa, which sorta makes me a big deal. So I bit my tongue and just told her I adored her necklace and even showed her the LL beauties I was sportin that evening (my Rain or Shine necklace, and my Devoted bracelet}.

Yep, that's the whole story. Riveting, I know.

On another note...

The hubs and my five year anniversary is coming up on July 14th. Five going on fifty years--and I mean that in the best possible way.  You know when you love someone so much, you don't even remember what life was like before them? Well that's how the last five years have been with my Benny Boo-kins {no I don't really call him that, I just wanted to make you gag a little}.

Well, my new, precious, adorable, dainty Lisa Leonard bracelet is the perfect token to celebrate our devotion to each other.

This pewter heart beauty is also adorning a newly painted desk in my almost finished craft room {which I will show y'all very soon}.  Is that heart timeless, or what!

So, I'm sorta addicted to LL now. Like, I find myself scanning through her shop at random times each day, multiple times a day.  I even have a wish list.  And when the new summer line came out, my wish list got even longer.  Check out these new cuties:

And some of my long time favorites:

Mommy's Little Monster {giveaway and discount}

Mommy's Little Monster

 This Little Monster gives Mommy a kiss before he is about to do something bad.

This Little Monster regurgitates his food to let Mommy know he is done eating a meal.

This Little Monster thinks all of Mommy's cooking utensils are his toys,

rips books that have real pages,

points to Mommy's zits and says Ouchy {in public},

and dumps out all the toy buckets

just seconds after Mommy has finished picking them up.

But being a Little Monster means more than getting into trouble.

Little Monsters are curious and inquisitive,

interested and intrigued,

sensitive and compassionate,

love learning and creating

and they have a belly laugh that will make

even the grouchiest person smile from ear to ear.

Little Monsters have wild hair that Mommy's love to ruffle with their fingers,

they furrow their brows when they focus,

and if you are lucky enough to catch them just after a nap,

they will nestle their cheek into the warmest part of your neck

and sit still for nearly 15 minutes--and those will be the most sacred 15 minutes of your day.

Today, I want to give a big thank you to Megan and Gregg, of Mod Tots,

for the most adorable reminder of this "stage" in Baby W's life.

Gregg and Megan are the husband/wife owners of Modern Bird Studios, who gave me my very first and most favorite piece of real artwork. 

And they recently launched a second super fab business designed for kiddos--Mod Tots. 

Each of these designs is HAND PAINTED!

Animals, robots, monsters, dinosaurs, pastries and more.

These designs are Adorable with a capital A.

You pick the character and then pick

your favorite background color to match your decor.

You want a dozen of them don't you?

Yeah, me too.

Today, Mod Tot's will be giving away a whopping

$100 gift certificate

to one lucky LMM reader.

Rain or Shine. Lisa Leonard Giveaway

 Rain or Shine.

Through sickness and health.

Hubby's knee surgery last week.

Through good times and bad.

For better or worse.

Forever, and for always.

Rain or shine,

I'm so glad you're mine.

As hard as it was to narrow down my favorite necklace

from Lisa Leonard Designs, I knew this one was a perfect fit.

This necklace is honest.

It tells it like it is.

Life is about weathering the stormy days,

and embracing the sunny ones,

hand in hand with the ones you love.

And wearing this piece of beautiful truth around my neck makes me giddy.

If you don't already know her,

allow me to introduce you to the beautiful,

the inspiring, the talented

Lisa Leonard.

She's BIG TIME!

She took a dream, and she made it a reality.

She is a woman to be admired.

She is Lisa Leonard.

Today Lisa Leonard Designs

will be giving away

TWO $50 Gift Certificates

{two separate winners will each get $50}

Her designs are timeless, classic, original and stunning.

She is like the pioneer of all hand stamped accessories,

which makes her pretty famous {if you ask me}.

I love the message of this necklace.

To me, those are dreams in the jar.

I would love this for Mother's Day.

The Pleated Poppy has a zillion of her necklaces too.

She made this adorable button bracelet for Gussy.

Her new decor line makes my heart go pitter patter.

And I am pretty sure every little girl in the world needs this wand {and maybe big girls too}.

I also have the Together Necklace--and I love it {pictured above and below}.

It's like holding my family close to my heart, all day long.
