Summer Swimming

We found a local pool in this new town that we are staying in and have been going with the kids every chance we get. I thought Odessa and Big Spring were hot? JEEEEZ, the humidity in Corpus Christi is about to kill me! I would take Big Spring over Corpus Christi any day.Well, except for the fact that my nieces live here. :/

Anyway here are a handful of pool photos :) I am sure I will probably have more by the time the summer is over!

Fashion-ish Blogger?

I absolutely love fashion, and I follow a few fashion bloggers on Bloglovin. The other night as I was going through some of them, I told Keith that I wanted to be a fashion blogger, only problem is I actually suck at dressing myself. Then it dawned on me, I seem to do an alright job when getting ready for my boutique modeling assignments... (Que light bulb over my head) I will start blogging those!!! Plus it gives me the opportunity to blog the awesome goodies I get sent to model :) 

So to start, my most recent assignment was from Chic Shabby and Sweet Boutique. She sent me two beautiful made to match headbands. She asked me to send in some photos of two dresses and she created the pieces from the photos! I did use my niece as a prop for some of the photos to try and change things up a bit :)  The headbands are very high quality and truly stunning. I absolutely love them!

I SUCK.

First off, I have absolutely SUCKED at blogging lately. See those last few posts? I posted them yesterday. Yeah, I know. The date's are not 7-7.  Don't judge, I am not *completely* cheating. I did actually have those posts planned out, I just never got around to actually posting them. 

Any who, I have decided that, I really need to jump back on the blogging bandwagon. I am a faithful reader of the blogs I follow, that should make me better at actually blogging right? Okay, maybe not. But I am determined to try. I feel like my blog needs more...... something. I love that I am documenting life, but I pretty much do that on Facebook as well. Plus I have A LOT more going on than what I post. SO. I will be trying out several different things.. some will work out and some won't but, the point is I am trying to find MY "niche".  I have pretty much Instagram'd my entire life recently, so here are a few photos over the past month or so :)

Fourth of July!

I wish I would have planned out our festivities a little bit better & I did not get many pictures during the day. But we did have a good day. Starting with the parade in the morning, fun zone afterwards with a trip to the USS Lexington to get out of the heat and fireworks that night :)
