Here is my Street Outfit:


Dress is from Old Navy last fall. I also
have it in royal blue. They were $40 each and I
swear I have worn each one at least 4 times. Such a
great purchase, and you can also wash it in the washer! No need
to dry clean! Boots are from a trip to Italy years ago.



Onto Sweat Style:


Tank: Lululemon
Capris: Groove Crops by Lululemon
Sneakers: Nike
Plus Bear jumping in the picture at the last second, lol

Have a great week and thanks for reading!!

DISNEYLAND!!!

Hey there! Sorry for the recent absence! The kids had a terrible stomach flu last week that seemed to last forever, and then we took a family trip to Disneyland! We had such a great time and the kids had a blast. This was Ava's second trip and Bear's first. We took Ava last October and she had been asking pretty much on a daily basis to go back since then, so we decided to go back for another visit. May is a perfect time to go, there were hardly any lines and overall the park was not that busy. Last trip we stayed at a Hyatt not close to the park so this time we wanted to try something else. This time we chose the Grand Californian Hotel and it was the best decision we made. Staying in the park was very convienient as we could go back to the room quickly if needed. Here are some highlights from the trip....

We made it! Waiting to check in to our room!

Bear was obsessed with the phones

Mama and Ava

Pool time! There was a big waterslide that Ava wanted
to go down, but she was just a bit too small.

Daddy and Ava pool time

My Mom and Eeyore

Fairy Godmother, Me and Bear

Ava and her idol, Minnie Mouse

Bear wasn't too sure about the characters at first

This was the best moment of the trip, Ava was in heaven

Minnie spent a lot of time at each table. We did the Minnie
and Friends breakfast in Disneyland, highly suggest doing this
if you plan to do a character meal.

Minnie, Mimi and Bear

He never wants to look at the camera, lol


Daddy and Bear going on It's a Small World

Ava

Waiting for the Parade to start





We had a great time and Ava is already asking to go back again!

Happy Anniversary!

Well, today marks our 4th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it has already been 4 years! Seems like time has just flown by! I guess having two kids in two years may have something to do with feeling like that! I could not imagine my life without my wonderful and very supportive husband :)

Just for fun, here is a small trip down memory lane...

The dress...

Trying on my dress for the first fitting.
I only tried on 4 dresses total...
dress shopping was not as fun as
I had imagined.

Every bride-to-be flexes in her
wedding gown, right?!?

The back was my favorite part
The location...
This is the Mural Room at the Courthouse in
Santa Barbara, CA.

The grounds of the Courthouse, such
a beautiful and historic building.
Prep...
Doing a trial run of my hair-do!
Bridal Shower...
My Mother, myself and my Grandmother at my Bridal Shower

Yummy cake at the shower!

mmmmmm.....cake!
The Big Day...
Saying our vows

Ring time!

Randomly we drank wine during the ceremony (didn't know that was part of it), guess
that is why people have a rehersal (we didn't). lol

Officially Mr. & Mrs. L_____

Yay! Time to relax, finally!!

Us!

My parents

My parents and little brother
After the wedding in Santa Barbara we headed back to our house, about an hour north, and had a catered dinner and dancing in our backyard with about 80 friends and family members. We had a great time and headed off to Costa Rica for a week long honeymoon the next day. We would love to go back again when the kids are older, it was beautiful!

Hope you enjoyed my little photo album of wedding memories! Thanks for reading :)

Workout Playlist


Remember when the IPod was that big?
I had that exact one!

I don't know about you, but when I workout I need to listen to music...like there will be no action happenin unless I have some good music to motivate me and keep me movin! Especially if it is a running day, then I can absolutely not run unless I have some really good high energy music playing. So here is what I am currently listening to during my workouts...I do like to mix it up quite often to keep things fresh, so I will make new playlists every two weeks or so.

(Oh and I should tell you that I have totally random taste in music, ha ha)

The lovely Britney
Guns 'N Roses...love them!

1. "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 (feat Christina Aguilera)
2. "Toxic" by Britney Spears - What can I say? I will love her always and forever ;)
3. "Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez & The Scene
4. "Good Feeling" by Flo Rida
5. "Pump It" by The Black Eyed Peas
6. "Part of Me" by Katy Perry
7. "Paradise City" by Guns 'N Roses
8. "International Love" by Pitbull and Chris Brown
9. "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO
10. "Keeps Gettin Better" by Christina Aguilera
11. "Domino" by Jessie J
12. "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO
13. "Fergalicious" by Fergie
14. "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns 'N Roses
15. "Low" by Flo Rida

They're sexy and they know it!


What do you listen to? I am always looking for some new music so share with me!
