Can't Dress Myself

I'm 28 and I still have times where I'm in a complete panic about what to wear. Normally, I never post about my clothes or outfits, but I'm in the mood to make fun of myself.
I scheduled a Fall family photo session and I wanted it to be outside. I chose this weekend because I thought it wouldn't be too cold... Well it ended up being 45*, the coldest day of Fall yet.

I thought I knew what I was going to wear. Then this morning, I was texting pictures of myself to my best friend asking for her opinion. We are paying money for our photos and we are going to have them forever so I wanted to look cute.
The following pictures are my hysterical attempt at trying to find something that worked with the dress. I knew I wanted to wear the dress, brown tights, and my brown boots. Deciding on whether or not to wear the belt was an issue and also which cardigan to wear.

You should see my bedroom right now....complete devastation.

When Daddy Does Bedtime....

When Daddy does the evening ritual, what does Momma do?

She gets to paint her nails a fun way she saw on Pinterest but never has time to do because what mother has time to paint her nails with 4 coats and let it dry?

The only problem is staying up long enough ( after 2 glasses of vino) to let them dry without getting smudged)
P.S. I did my toes in a French!

Mommy Tip

I left Noah for five minutes in the living room alone. My husband called and he is out of town so I needed to just talk with him for a minute but my battery was about to die so I went to my bedroom to charge it.( mind you, we are a one floor condo so it was within sight and sound )

Then I hear a scraping sound on the hallway wall and look to see my son expressing his creativity with a ballpoint pen on my wall. Further inspection showed that he also explored his skin and my decorative couch pillow( seen in the picture)

Well, I called my aunt and she told me to blot with rubbing alcohol( I also googled searched this- even though you can't believe everything you read on the Internet) and.....IT WORKED like magic!!! Completely erased the marks from the pillow and wall! So Amazeballs, I had to share.

In conclusion: keep writing utensils far away from toddlers AND rubbing alcohol is a magic eraser.
