when in the keys.

we love the keys. but then who doesn't?
this year my mom planned a trip during the week of my 30th bday - and it was perfect timing!
if there's one thing i have learned during these past thirty years of life (and it's endless ups and downs) is how family always has your back - they are my most prized possession.
grateful doesn't even begin to describe my feelings.
being with my dad, mom, sister, brother (his cutie GF), my amazing husband & perfect babe was the ultimate way to ring in my 30's.

in other news, when in Islamorada you MUST live in your bathing suit, wear white, and eat breakfast at Bitton Bistro Cafe. #justdoit

made me think.

the other day i was chatting with someone who brought up the fact that i have a blog. i immediately smiled and explained how it's not really a blog-blog... meaning i don't post as consistently as i should, i write only when i feel passionate about something, and every time i post images of an outfit i secretly hope no one thinks i'm conceited. after all this "blog" of mine is really just a creative outlet when i need one.

all that said -- the previously mentioned friend went on to say how she liked the blog and the outfits i put together. can i just say HOORAY! loved hearing that, especially b/c this girl and i aren't even that close, but getting a compliment from her was really neat and much appreciated!

so this made me think... i haven't posted in a while! honestly, there is not enough time in the day with a baby and other tasks that always require attention way before a silly little blog.

however, today we went to lunch and i got dressed while Lyla was taking a nap. this enabled me to get dressed and snap pics all without being bothered. below is the result. #goodtimes
