I’m currently writing this after I just got home from a girl’s night out with some of my very best friends from college (just dinner and lots of lots of talking and laughing), so I’m going to make this short and sweet.
ONE.
Can we talk about how much I love this outfit? I would wear it if it came in my size. I would also let Charlotte wear it every day if she wouldn’t get it dirty with food and dirt. Oh, well. Side-note: why does she look like a grown-up? Be still my heart.
TWO.
You know, I never thought I would be one of those matching moms. It started with me just coordinating our outfits, “on accident” of course. But then I found this shop (did you read about it yesterday?), Camden and Kate, and I think matching my mini is now the coolest.
THREE.
I can’t even with this child sometimes. She kills me. First of all, she’s in a pajama top because she clearly didn’t want to change, and it was not a battle I was willing to fight. Second of all, this cup is the greatest invention ever (first seen in this post, Toddler Travel Necessities). It holds her “cereals” and her beloved juice (chocolate milk). She’ll probably kill me for this picture one day, but I think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
FOUR.
I got my second Rocksbox package yesterday, and I love it! You can read about my first box here. If you haven’t joined yet, go to their site, and try it out for a month for FREE! All you have to do is enter SEVENGRACESXOXO in the promo code, and you can wear Kendra Scott jewelry and plenty other fabulous things for zero dollars for an entire month. Best deal ever.
FIVE.
How in the world are we already through the middle of the year? I don’t know. What I do know is that next week, I’m co-hosting a spectacular link-up with some very cool blogger friends for the 4th of July. Next Wednesday, the link-up will go live, and you can enter here or on any of the blogs above. All you do is share some pictures of your #StarSpangledKids looking all Americana, because you know you were going to share anyway, and that’s it. Easy peasy. You’ll have an entire week to get it done, so there are no excuses. You can also use the hashtag on Instagram. Now go forth and be festive.
One more thing before I go…Next month I’ll be reviving my New Mama 101 series. Any thing you want to see added? So far, I’ll be adding what to take to your friend when she has a baby and the best unexpected gifts for your expectant friends. What else would you like to see?
And that’s all I have for today. There are no weekend plans for us, so can I get an amen? Maybe I’ll finally have time to read a book and watch TV. A mama can wish. What do you have going on this weekend?
Happy Friday, sister!
Let’s keep in touch, shall we?
You can see where I’m linking up on this page.
Josephine King says
i am so glad you shared about Camden and Kate! I am one of those moms who actually want to match my daughter and I LOVE kimonos so this is perfect! AND those flamingo pants & black sandals are perfect too! She’s too pretty!
Kristy says
Yay! Glad you liked them! You should see some of the kimonos she has. Unbelievably gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sweet compliment. She’s definitely my heart. :)
Jenna Griffin says
Oh my gosh, that is the cutest ever! I love that y’all have matching outfits. I will definitely do that one day with my future daughter…on accident of course. ;)
Kristy says
Thank you, Jenna! You most certainly will match your child; there is no doubt about it. I find that I’m always coordinating our outfits. My husband does not like to match us though. He thinks we looks silly. Lol. Boys!
Mandy Borrego says
I almost ordered some Camdenandkate kimonos but didn’t press the trigger button. So cute!
Kristy says
They are soo cute, Mandy! You would most definitely love them! You little miss model, you! ;)
Lauren English says
Your little girl is so cute! And she looks like she’s full of personality. So fun! Stopping by from 5 on Friday…have a great weekend!
Kristy says
Thanks so much, Lauren! She most certainly is full of personality. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Calee says
I am loving the Mommy & Me outfits, especially the kimonos! So adorable!
Your little girl is just precious (and I love the name Charlotte – future baby name ;))
Kristy says
Thanks, Calee! We love them, too. We were way ahead of the trend with Charlotte, huh? I love it and there is no other name that would fit my little princess quite like it does her. I’m sure it would make a wonderful future baby name for sure! Happy week, my dear!
Sara McCarty says
I’m totally obsessed with those flamingo pants! Dying. And love love love the matching mommy and me outfit! My daughter dresses so much better than me most days – maybe this is how I start stepping it up a notch! ;)
Kristy says
Thanks, Sara! And yeah, what is up with the daughters dressing better than us?! I was admiring C’s closet just yesterday when I finally took the time to hang up all of her clothes, and oh my! I was jealous. Lol. Time for us to step it up a notch for sure.

Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom says
Oh my goodness, you and Charlotte are all kinds of cute! Seriously!
I love the picture with the pineapples in the background. What a girl.
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the year. Woah! Slow down. I can’t cope. My youngest turns 4 in a couple of weeks. I just realized that today. It made me feel queasy.
Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
xoxo
Kristy says
Thanks, Jennifer! :)
She is quite the firecracker, that is for sure!
And what is the deal with time going by in warp speed? I don’t get it. It’s for the birds, and the birds can have it! Lol.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Leelee says
Those mother/ daughter matching outfits are just too cute.
Kristy says
Thanks so much, Leelee! It is too much fun. :)
Courtney Spena says
I'm so excited for the link up, Kristy! And all of your clothes are fantastic- as always!
Lauren Kauffman says
Those flamingos! Charlotte’s so trendy! Honestly I don’t know how you girl-moms have any money leftover. I’d spend them all on that cute loot! LK
Kristy says
Thanks, Lauren! And Charlotte has a very sweet aunt who loves to spoil her. ;) I do have to have the will power of a super human sometimes though. It ain’t easy! Lol.

Tawnya Faust says
Love those flamingo pants, I can never find them from our ON here. Charlottes outfit is to die for, and I’ve been wanting to get matcher kimono’s forever for S and I from that shop! Y’all look adorable in yours!! … and roxbox, I would absolutely LOVE to try roxbox. Canadian probs.
Kristy says
Thanks, my love! And that’s too bad about the Canadian Rocksbox issue. You would be perfect for them for sure. Maybe they’ll change the policy soon. ;) Xoxo
Alycia says
I love your matching outfits!! You two are just the cutest!!! And Chatlotte’s flamingo pants…amazing! If only Canadian stores didn’t suck so bad!!!
Kristy says
Thanks, Alycia! I probably need to find something flamingo patterned for myself, no? Lol. I’m sure you can find a Canadian store with some flamingos, don’t you think? I’ll be on the look out for y’all too. ;)

Charlotte is so a cutie, and she’d be adorable in anything, but those flamingo pants are the best! I would wear ’em too!
And ek you just reminded me I have a Rocksbox sitting in my dresser! Forgot all about it.
Kristy says
Thanks, Colleen! She is just the best little model.
I loved your Rocksbox! It’s such a fun concept. :) I’d say it’s money well spent, too.
