Casual July

Let's get real: as a stay-at-home mom, I'm not always in dress with my hair straightened.  Shocking, I know.  I'm usually in super comfortable yoga/lounge pants and flowy tops because hanging out with a 6-year old demands it of me.  Plus, why in the world would I wash dishes in my favorite orange dress?

This is me in a normal, every day get up.  Well, at least suitable to photograph in.  I'm sure I've looked much MUCH more haggard in the mornings!  I themed it with our upcoming holiday just for fun.  Oh, and look!  The bump just got bigger overnight!

Little known fact: I don't write every blog post the day of posting!  WHAT?!  I know, I've totally blown your mind.  See, usually I plan my posts on Mondays for the following week, not the current week.  I photograph and write most of the posts over the weekend or early in the week. These photos were taken before the Brodster and I decorated the house, so I am a little bummed I didn't wait.  Our mantle now has a 4th of July banner and it would have made a great backdrop. 

What is it about getting ready for a holiday that makes every day life so much more fun?  We'll be spending it with family, so thankfully, there's not a lot of stressful planning, like during Christmastime.

What are your plans for the holiday?  Post in the comments below!
