April is flying by and I can't say how much nicer life is when it's sunny outside. I'm loving dressing for Spring and enjoying these days when jeans and a tee shirt are just right.

This last month has been so busy with work and family that I haven't taken many professional photos for full blog posts. I'll have more of those to share soon, but today I have a big round up of outfits from Instagram.

Valentine's Day may be over, but I still think of February as the month of love. And I don't think it's just about being in love or having a valentine. A huge part of love is loving yourself. Loving yourself for who you are and who you know you can be is critical in being able to show love to others—and to receive it!

I hope you have had a great week so far! I'm excited it's Friday although it feels like there is a lot to do before I'm ready for Sunday. Soren and I are leaving for Italy on Sunday and even as I type it it doesn't seem real.

This past weekend every time I hopped onto Facebook, I felt like I was being overwhelmed with so many different opinions about right and wrong and what is important and what isn't. Rather than being informed or uplifted by things I was reading, I just felt stressed.

Overalls have been an emerging trend for the last few years, and only in the last six months did I decide to try them. I'm aware that I'm a mom who has four kids, and sometimes that means there are certain trends that aren't for me.

So it took me a long time to get on the overall trend. I liked them on other people and kept intending to try them out, but then I got pregnant. And sometimes pregnancy isn't the best time to try out a new trend. So I waited.

Happy Monday! It's a chilly Spring break here in Kansas City. Easton is out of school all week and things are always busier and messier with all four kids at home all week. I'm hoping to do at least one fun thing each day to try and make the most of the week.
