Have I lost enough

July 7, 2011 By Virginia 31 Comments

To pull off this dress?

Seriously looking for an outside opinion!

My husband says I look hot in it, but he says I look hot in everything I put on, so, ya’ know…

We have a dinner to attend on the 20th, and my plan was to wear this dress with silver-tone jewelry and maybe a little cap sleeve sweater.

But, now, I am having second thoughts. Thinking I am “not quite there yet.”

AND, if I do wear it, I am at a loss for shoes. I haven’t worn heels since before Mister was born, and honestly don’t own any. Strappy sandals? Dressy flip-flops? Peep toe heels?

UGH! I haven’t stressed over getting dressed in a long while, but I want to look smashing for this dinner!

What do you think? And I mean, be brutally honest. If you think I need to lose another ten pounds (or a coupla inches) before I step out the house in this, PUH-LEASE tell me. I don’t want to be the one everyone whispers about behind her back. At least, not for that reason.

Free Bowling is Back!

June 15, 2011 By Virginia 2 Comments

You may recall that last year I wrote about the free summer bowling program for kids. Well, it is BACK!

This summer, your children 16 and under can bowl for free at your local AMF. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! Just register your children to get weekly coupons via email for two free games per child per day all summer long. Children love bowling; it’s fun, active, social and local and – best of all – it’s FREE! That’s how AMF does summer!

Bowling is a great way to teach your toddlers about cause and effect and improves their coordination! I can’t wait to take my kids bowling this summer!

Do you take your kids bowling? Do they love it?

While I participated in this campaign as a member of One2One Network and am eligible for a prize drawing, I would have blogged it anyway, because I know how much fun it is! All opinions stated in the post are my own.
