just how big are you?

Lots of friends and family have been asking me this question lately.  I try to answer by telling them how much weight I've gained or that I now proudly wear maternity pants.  However, I'm not sure these answers ever really get the point across.

They say that an image is worth a thousand words.  So, here are two thousand words of description:

jean jacket- loehmann's
pin- thrifted
dress- thrifted
tights- target
shoes- thrifted

if you grow tulips, they will come

Holland is prepping for one of the biggest events of the year.  Lawns are being mowed, food stands are popping up along the parade route, tulips are showing off their bright colors, stores are airing their wares, and school children are practicing their dance routines.

Put on your klompen! Tulip Time  is coming!

Soon the streets will be filled with throngs of tourists clamoring for small town nostalgia, Dutch culture, and bright flowers.  Hubby and I can't wait to see the hubbub.

Here comes the sun

The sun finally made an appearance! Hubby celebrated the sunny day with this outfit:

A snazzy hat

A combo of green and yellow

And some white dancing shoes
