This is an extra special "What I Wore Sunday" because the lovely ladies of Fine Linen and Purple blog allowed me to host this week. Make sure to check out their blog, and see some other ladies' stylish looks for your Sunday wardrobe inspiration. 

Over the weekend my husband and I were busy taking on "Project Nursery" for our little bundle of joy. I am definitely in nesting mode as I clean and organize everything in sight. Attending Mass on Sunday was a good break away from the project, and allowed us to really focus our hearts on our Lenten preparation, which starts this Wednesday! I am so thankful for Lent; it makes me reflect on my faith walk and see where I have become complacent and what needs improvement. Lent is humbling, but it is just what my soul needs.

What are you guys giving up/doing extra for Lent?

And.... We are back! I know I have been MIA for over a month now, but I am up and running again. September was a crazy month that included a whirl wind of things. One of them being a trip to Europe, that I can not wait to share with all of you. Stay tuned! :)

I hope all has been well for each of you, and here is a little of What I Wore Sunday. During one of our plane rides to Europe, I watched the movie, "The Great Gatsby," which inspired my outfit today. The fashion during that era was so fun. 

Have a fabulous Monday! Thanks for reading! XO

Good morning and Happy Monday! This past weekend, the hubby and I had a fabulous time at home...Finally! We have been out of town the past 3 weekends. On Friday night, I surprised the hubby by showing up at the worship night he was playing at up in Orange County. The band he drums for, Love, Resonate, released their first live ablum on Friday. It is called, "Sparks." You should definitely check it out!

On Saturday and Sunday, we got things done around the house, went to the Farmers Market, ran errands, had impromptu dance parties, finally watched the last espisode of "The Office" :( (I definitely cried), and of course, went to Mass. This is what I wore :) I love statement necklaces! They add the perfect fun and feminine detail to any outfit.

God bless America, land that I love... Happy Monday! July is officially here! In honor of the 4th of July this week, I thought it was only fitting to rock some red and blue on Sunday. Check out Fresh Linen and Purple to see some other ladies' Sunday looks. 

Isn't the house behind me a dream? I wish I could say it was mine, but it is MY dream home :) It is so ironic to me that my southern husband has such modern taste, and myself, a California girl, has such southern taste. I love the Southern plantation look with front porches and rocking chairs, it just makes my heart happy. When I saw this house, I just had to take a picture in front of it! It is located in one of the cutest parts of San Diego, Coronado island. The husband and I spent the afternoon there after Mass, and it was just one of those days where everything seemed perfect. Definitely feeling blessed!

Sooo remember last week when I was talking about how my favorite things right now are black & white, well I guess you could say my favorite things inspired my outfit this Sunday :) I wore some red wedges with it to add a fun pop of color. 

How was your Divine Mercy Sunday? 

"For the sake of the sorrowful passion, 

have mercy on us and on the whole world"

This past Sunday I got to experience one of my favorite things- doing ministry with my husband. There is just something so awesome about serving with the one you love most. Almost like your vocation powers combine and the two of you could take on anything, putting Captain Planet to shame... Nothing against Captain Planet :), but back to the point, Casey and I were blessed with the opportunity to speak at Saint's Norbert's Confirmation II retreat. The retreat was held in Lake Arrowhead, so we got up bright and early and headed up the mountain. The teens were great and very receptive. Casey spoke to the guys and I spoke to the ladies. We discussed becoming men and women of God, and how to live that out in dating and chastity. Casey and I feel very humbled that God trusts us to share His message on these topics. 

After our talks, we drove just a couple more miles to the Lake Arrowhead Village for lunch before heading home to San Diego. We ended up getting to eat right out by the lake, and it was absolutely stunning! The marine layer in San Diego the past week had been becoming a drag, so being out in the clear blue skies and crisp air was extra refreshing. Overall, it was a wonderful way to start our Sunday :)

Ladies of Saint Norbert's Parish remember:

 you are loved, 

you are beautiful, 

you are enough!

Good morning everyone! This past Sunday we went to Mass in the morning, had breakfast with our friend, Kate, and then headed to a friend's wedding in the afternoon. The wedding took place right on the bay in San Diego, with a beautiful view of Downtown. We had a blast! The skirt that I wore is one of my favorites. I love the bow detail! 

Happy Tuesday! Thanks for reading! XO

Good morning & happy Monday! Sorry I was MIA last week, but it was just one of those jam packed/where does the time go, types of weeks. Actually now that I think about it, the whole month of July pretty much feels that way. It is definitely a crazy summer, but it is filled with a lot of awesome events. For instance, on Sunday I went to my best friends' daughter's 1st birthday party. The theme of her party was the "The Flower Shoppe," and it was A.Dor.Able! I mean pink tulle, fresh flowers, ombre pink cupcakes, etc. A little slice of Pink Heaven if you ask me ;)

Have a great day! Thanks for reading! XO

Happy Easter everyone! Christ is Risen! I LOVE Easter....so much hope....so much joy! Every Easter Sunday, I listen to "Christ is Risen" by Matt Maher. I feel like it is the perfect Easter pump-up song. It makes me want to go to the top of a mountain and shout, 

"Oh death! Where is your sting?

Oh hell! Where is your victory?

Oh Church! Come stand in the light!

Our God is not dead, he's alive! he's alive!"

I hope you all had a blessed day with family and friends!
