Gasp!! Leggings!

Today was supposed to be "Nautical" day, however that did not happen. Hubby finally had a day off and since it's not raining it was the perfect day to get to work on our backyard. Man, does our yard need some love! Mowing, dog mess, weeding, gardening, building a second garden, sandbox, toy clean up, deck....the list goes on and on it seems. There is always more to do or something to fix. We have lots of plans for the backyard and it will be wonderful once its done.

Earlier, Lily and I got to enjoy a little picnic to ourselves while Grayson napped and we waited for daddy to come back from Home Depot. It was so fun to sit out back and watch our chickens and ducks roam around the yard. I'd love to have more animals. Maybe a pig and a goat or two! Unfortunately we don't have enough land for that and if I'm being realistic I don't have the time for more animals.

Back to leggings....what leggings again?! Yes, I wore leggings again today. I didn't give up and quit the challenge. I just needed to be able to move around, pull weeds, carry boards and chase chickens. No way was I going to ruin my white shorts (little hint on tomorrow's outfit)! Like I said the other day I know I'm making an effort now and am proud of myself. I'm not spending everyday in leggings and sweat pants but some days leggings and sweat pants are the reasonable and realistic choice for the day. If you were hoping for an amazing outfit though, don't be disappointed! If you look at the last picture, Lily is modeling her "I picked it out myself" ensemble! The shirt under the sweater ties everything together with fluorescent Hawaiian flowers.
What did you do today??

Day 13 and Get to Work Chickens!

Decided to go ahead and just do the "scarf as a belt" idea. I thought this was boring and plain and just looked like I didn't put any thought into this look. I surprisingly got not one, not two not three, but FOUR compliments! It just goes to show that adding an extra accessory really can change a whole look from boring to something after all. I really didn't think anyone would even notice the scarf. I think I've worn some cute outfits in the last two weeks and have gotten a couple of compliments. Never four though. If you are looking for a cute skinny belt scarf of your own, look no further! I found THIS gorgeous one at J.Jill! I'm loving the print and the fact that it's on sale!
In other news, I'm pretty excited to announce that my free loading chickens are about to earn their keep. On the way home from running errands this morning I stopped by the local farm to see what veggies and plants they had. I remembered that they usually sold fresh eggs so before I left I asked the owners about them since I didn't see any out . Turns out the person they usually got their eggs from is no longer selling so they were looking for someone new. Guess who that new person is going to be? ME! I'll be selling them around 5 to 6 dozen a week! I'm ridiculously too excited about this! Here's a picture of my beautiful eggs from yesterday and today 😆
