I came across this blog post on the MCP Actions site. It rang true for me. As a stay at home mom, I’m interested in ways to make some extra money. I love photography so maybe I should study up & become a professional. I almost felt guilty for not really wanting to do that.
This blog post was really refreshing & encouraged me to keep working at getting better & enjoy myself as a hobbiest photographer!
It looks like Spring might actually be here! It’s almost 60F. And the sun is poking its head out from time to time.
I celebrated by wearing a dress with capri leggings and no socks! Sweet.

We spent a leisurely morning at the resort. We wandered around the gardens & had lots of fun taking pictures – I’ll probably do a post with some of the photos.
I wore shorts & tights again which is honestly one of my favourite looks. I love my shirt except for the fact that it’s just too big & isn’t doing me any favours. I hate it when that happens!
Outfit #24
I love my purple boots too. That is all.

So after being in Portland for OMSI, we drove back home to Bend, stayed the night, handed the kids off to my parents in the morning & drove back over another mountain for our anniversary get away.
We stayed at Oregon Garden Resort & got an amazing deal! I wore a dress that I’ve been waiting to wear for a while & decided that I don’t really like it. It’s comfortable & fairly cute, but it’s too long & because of the pattern on it, I don’t think I can shorten it. I just felt frumpy in it. The photos don’t do it much justice either.
Outfit #23
I Love Hotels!
Not pleased with the outfit, but very pleased with our time away. Great food & accommodation!

We headed up to Portland to go to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Technology). Stayed overnight in a hotel & headed out in the morning. Had a great day with my boys. I highly recommend OMSI – lots of fun.
My husband was my photographer – sadly he’s not the greatest, but at least he helped out!
Outfit #22
I’ve been seeing tiered skirts around & I really like them, but I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. I found this one at Old Navy & I actually really like it & how it looks on me.

Don’t let the sunshine fool you – we had more snow this morning, it was gone by the time I took my pictures though. We’ll probably skip Spring & go straight to Summer – the joys of Central Oregon!
I have to say that I love hats, I have a lot of hats. However, I don’t wear my hats very often – I just forget, or if I’m at home, they tend to get in the way. That being said, I’m going to try to wear them more often. Because I love them.
I realised after I put this outfit together that there are a couple of items that are repeated – the shrug & the jeggings. I think it’s ok though because they are helping me use another item of clothing that I don’t wear much which is the whole point of this!
Outfit #21
Dress: Ross – shortened by me
Shrug: Torrid
Jeggings: Pure Energy
Shoes: Target
While I was out taking my photos, my youngest son decided to lock the backdoor. That was fun. I pounded on the door for ages until my 3 year old finally came & let me in. Slightly scary, but pretty funny.

Headed out to do some errands today. It’s so not Springy here today – cold & overcast, but I thought I’d bring a bit of Spring to my outfit with flowers!
I looked everywhere for a long sleeved shrug for the winter. I wanted to be able to wear my strappy tops in the cold weather. It was surprisingly hard to find what I was looking for, but eventually I found this shrug at Torrid. So glad I found it.
Outfit #20
Butterfly Earrings!
Flower Power!
Shrug: Torrid
Dress: Old Navy
Leggings: Target
Shoes: Ross
I love these shoes. Great heel, comfortable. The only thing is that the bottom is a bit slick. I imagine I’ll be wearing them quite a lot this Spring & Summer.
