Easter Dresses & Swimsuits!

I just love Easter & have so many wonderful memories with my mother each year shopping for me an Easter dress. It was so special to finally be able to do that with my mother, & my daughter!

I spent the day looking for Avery an Easter dress. My mom & sister in law went back with me to Dillard's tonight & my mom purchased Avery's Easter dress for her. I thought it was so sweet! We just had so much fun trying all kinds of dresses on her in the dressing room! They all fit different so we took her into the dressing room & played dress up with her. She giggled her way through the entire thing & of course tried to crawl everywhere. She began crawling last week. It's been so exciting for us, but now I am a busy bee watching her EVERY move closely!

Here are 2 of the dresses that we got. First is the Easter Dress. I LOVED the pearls along with the sweet pearl cardigan. I plan to put tights & white shoes with this, but if it's warm she will wear the fancy ruffle socks. We got the ruffle bloomers too to add some more frill! I love lace!







While I was in Dillard's I decided to pop on over to the swimwear. I have now lost 25 lbs since January 1st & felt it was time to look at them! I still have a few more months but I couldn't wait! Im not ready for a "bikini" yet. I don't think you have to wear a bikini to feel cute in a swimsuit, although they are precious! It's not all about how much skin you show, but moreso what looks awesome on your figure! It's kind of like girls that think they are a 2 & squeeze into it when in all reality they are a size 6. It's not the size that matters but how it looks. So I found some really cute one's that I adore & tried on a few of these. My favorite so far is this first one. I plan to make a purchase really soon! It looked so sassy & fun, & I could see a good tan with this one!








Speaking of getting in shape, I am exhausted. I have been beating myself up at the gym for 2 hours a day. Im doing my certification for Body Pump next weekend & I hear that Im going to be beat up pretty bad. It's an all day training & lasts for 3 days from early in the morning until 8 in the evening. There is all kinds of things we have to be able to do, lift, run, memorize, etc... Im so nervous but have been at the gym everyday training! I have been on the tredmill & eliptical for an hour a day, & attending my training classes. Tomorrow I actually get to teach with my Body Pump instructor! Im so excited about it. Please keep me in your prayers over the next few weeks as I prepare for this new job I am taking on!
