I'm back

I'm sorry - time has gotten away from me recently.  I feel like my "to do" list is completely overwhelming and it's not stopping... it's just getting worse.  I'm so glad that I am done traveling for a while so I have time to get things done.

So, since the last time I was really able to write, I have been up to Madison to the World Dairy Expo and down to Dallas to finish the last fall conference for our clients.

Getting me through the trips were photos like this - sent from my mom or my sisters.

Kayla loves shoes just like the rest of us girls! :)

When I got home from Dallas, I had a busy weekend ahead.  First, we went up to Milwaukee to celebrate my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary.  I grabbed a bathroom photo of my outfit.

I finally got to see Lauren, Kevin and Liam again.  I enjoyed getting some time holding him.  Lauren grabbed a couple photos for me (I'm trying to do my best to equal the photos among all the niece/nephews).

The little guy made the funniest stretching faces.

Then, on Sunday morning, my mom, Melissa, Lauren and I got up early to do the Color Run.  If you haven't done one, I suggest you try one next year.  We walked and it was a blast!

Here's the before photo.

And the after.

When I got home, I finally saw what my face looked like - ew.

I rounded out my weekend of activities with a pumpkin carving party at Marie and Stephanie's place.

Here was my creation.

I'm not going to lie - I'm pretty tired today.  I could use a do-over weekend to just rest and get things done.

Hopefully, I will be back to regularly scheduled blogging this week.  I have to tell you about my online jewelry class and other stuff I have in the works.

And - rounding out this ridiculously all over the place post, today's outfit.  Happy Monday!
