Back in Black... and White

We are back after spending the weekend in San Antonio. Today was spent getting Zoe back on schedule and running errands. Zoe woke up super early for her- 7:30! But that meant she took her morning nap earlier than usual. We went to Target to return some things and get a few random things. I planned on going to Sprout's but I could see Zoe rubbing her eyes in the backseat so we just went home. Sure enough, she went down for her second nap as soon as we got home. It was an extra long nap so I got a little one in too. I still wasn't in the mood to make dinner so we all had my mom's King Ranch Chicken and it was delicious.

The weather was very pleasant today at only the mid 90's. This dress is perfect for looking polishd while running errands. I love the bold stripes. There is a slit in front but I am not modeling it very well. Also, I wore these shoes for the first time this weekend and they are just as comfortable as the tan pair. I love them because they have just a little bit of sparkle.

After a nice, relaxing weekend Zoe and I were ready to get back to business today. Of course, we went to the grocery store. Sometimes I feel like I am there far too often but then I remember I cook every, single meal at home and it doesn't seem so bad. I must have gone at the wrong time because the checkout lanes were very crowded.

Since I took a break last night and ordered pizza I made salmon for dinner tonight. I also made fried green beans because, well I love those things. Also, I am typing my very first blog post from my new keyboard! Nick gave me my anniversary present early and he told me to use it! I felt bad because I didn't think we were giving each other presents this year but he told me his gift to himself was the Robert Plant concert. But I do have a card and special blog post for him. :)

Zoe kept putting the tiles from her alphabet mat on her head. She kept peeking through the number eight!

This dress is a fab find from Old Navy. I feel like their dresses are really a hit or miss. I have had this dress for quite some time but I just decided to wear it today. Great choice for running errands because it is light and not to short to chase after Zoe.

OOTD: Monday

Today I woke to hearing Zoe play in her crib. I was thankful that she slept great and woke up in a good mood. I called the pediatrician and they were able to fit me in at her nap time. My husband fed her breakfast and watched her while I got ready. The pediatrician said they appeared to be hives and recommended to keep using the hydrocortisone cream and to also give her some baby Benadryl. I stopped by CVS on the way home and, of course, she fell asleep in the car. Thankfully she fell back asleep after a while. After she woke up I fed her lunch and gave her a dose of Benadryl. We needed groceries for dinner so we went to Kroger after lunch. (Side note- I am really excited to try the Nature's Gate Glow Lotion I picked up!) I put Zoe down for her second nap while I got dinner started. I used this chicken recipe (Nick loved it) and had rice and green beans as sides. When I picked Zoe up from her nap all of her hives were gone! They haven't shown up again but I plan on keeping a close eye on her.

I have a new video of Zoe up on my YouTube channel for those of you that subscribe!

Poor little baby was so tired she fell asleep with her toy in her hand.

OOTD: Saturday

Despite what my posts from the last few days say Zoe and I really love getting out and about. After Zoe's morning nap we went to our local Sprint store. I had to get a replacement charger because Pixie chewed up mine (and Nick's!). Then we went to get lunch at one of our favorite places- Black Walnut Cafe. I love the food there and the service is always superb. I got the pot roast grilled cheese sandwich with a side salad and Zoe had chicken fingers with steamed broccoli. 

Since we were there we decided to check out the new Sprouts. I didn't do a full blown grocery shopping trip so I can't say how low their prices are but I liked what I saw. It's a much smaller store than any other grocery store I have been to and it was a bit crowded (although it could have been crowded because it was Saturday and I NEVER go on the weekends or after 3 pm during the week). Their organic produce selection wasn't as good as I was expecting but they had green beans. I got some of our basics like bananas, milk, orange juice, and eggs and the prices seemed reasonable. The best part was the beauty section. They had a huge selection of beauty products as well as my favorite- Pacifica! They had almost all of the lanes open and a cashier and bagger at each. All in all I liked it. I will be going back during the week so I will update with prices then!

I had to get a Sprouts reusable bag! I also got some facial spray, a Pacifica solid perfume (Tuscan Blood Orange), and Newman's Own wintergreen mints.

She's not looking at the camera but I can tell she is thrilled to be grabbing Pixie's tail.

Partner's in crime.

Silly girl!

Baby and me.

I'm pretty sure I was talking to Zoe or scolding Pixie here.

I don't know what's up with the belt on my dress. It must have gotten loose during the day. Anyways, this dress is really comfortable and perfect for running around on hot days. I own quite a few striped dresses but they are so darn cute and simple to wear. I've included four similar options!
