Also, my inaugural photo shoot in front of the garage door. First of many, I know. That's what everyone's wanting to hear.
I've often thought that "veteran motherhood" comes when your children are teenagers on the brink of adulthood, and you look back at the baby years with wistful yearning.
No. I think I achieved "veteran motherhood" TODAY because I remembered to take a group photo on Mother's Day BEFORE MASS--that means it was before the carnage of post-mass maple donuts. Before any diapers overflowed their absorbent dams. Before my shirt had wet chew marks from the teething baby.
I'm just now realizing that my outfit is entirely thrifted. The shirt is a super-nursing-friendly rayon fabric by Merona, the skirt is actually a skort (LOVE) from Kohl's, and the shoes are muy comfortable wedges. And I procured all of it for less than $10. As they say, boom.
Last thing: Gussie's bow lasted through the homily. World record.
You and your family look absolutely adorable!! I love wedges, and need to procure more, now that I am starting to wear some skirts conducive to wedges again... because you are correct - they are super comfortable!
ReplyDeleteAnd, no time is too early to celebrate "veteran motherhood." It the little moments which create the veterans amongst us...
Happy Mother's Day!!
Thank you so much! Happy mother's day to you too, and may many more wedges be in your future :)
DeleteOk I love your outfit, but I LOVE how adorably you're all coordinated!! I'm hopeful that this signifies a triumphant return to blogging 😉
ReplyDeleteHAHA, Rosie I didn't even notice that we were all basically coordinating until you mentioned it. I'm only hoping for the triumphant return of my brain, clicking back on!
DeleteYou have such a beautiful family! Now I need to read some more of your blog, because I've never been here before. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you the sweetest! :) welcome!
