In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

Blue and White Off The Shoulder Top

blue and white

Top (Sold out), Similar, Similar, Similar| Jeans | Earrings | Shoes | Purse

Are you loving blue and white as much as I am right now? I just can’t get enough of the blue and white stripes. I wore a cute swingy blue and white top in Charleston last weekend. I just bought another blue and white dress, and, of course, I am in love with this top.

I love that it has a bit of high-low effect going on. I also love the “pirate sleeves” and the extra ruffle to add a little dimension to the overall look. I just think it is so flowy and fun. However, I will say on a windy day it blows straight up so wear appropriate undergarments.

I can’t keep with the weather in Atlanta. Last Friday it was 78, yesterday morning it was 39. It warmed up to mid-60s, but that’s how the day started. I literally have no idea what to wear, so I’m just sharing my outfit posts as planned. Whatever Atlanta, just whatever.

How was your weekend? Stephen tricked me yesterday into having the most productive Sunday ever by buying me pancakes first. We ventured to the Original Pancake House in Atlanta (by ventured I mean drove around the corner) and I had the most delicious coconut pancakes on the planet. Then while at brunch he broke out our ta-da list. Our apartment is spotless, all of our wall decor is finally hung, the fur babies have new toys, and (drumroll please) I finally have a vanity/desk area. It’s beautiful. Stay tuned for the reveal.

    I love how you styled this top – so girly and trendy chic! But I don’t think I can rock this top as well as you. It looks like I’d drowned in all the fabric, LOL!

      I was worried about it too, but it somehow gives a shape while still being fabric heavy.

My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!
