The Perfectly Imperfect Mama

A Little Bit of This & That

by Whitney Pegram - Thursday, October 06, 2016

Here's a little bit of this & that for you on your Thursday morning :) . . .

I love my days with this girl.

Wherever we go, baby goes too!

Last week we took our first trip to the library to get some books and my kiddos LOVED it!

I mean, we only took home 9 books :).

My sweet little first grader!

Millie Jo had dance Tuesday & while we were there Coop stayed at Grammy & Pop's house. But before her & I headed to dance, Grammy played football with them both. Funniest thing ever watching them chase each other!

Yesterday we had to be up at Coop's school for a few hours.

But why not take pictures before that!?!

That face. HA!

I could squeeze her!

And that's about it!

Nothing too crazy going on over here.

See you tomorrow for Friday Favorites ... & I have some great ones to share with you!

What I Wore . . .

by Whitney Pegram - Wednesday, October 05, 2016

Hey Hey Wednesday!

Every couple of months I try to do a post about what I'm wearing. This time of year is so hard because it's Fall but some days it still feels like Summer here. No worries though, I think the cooler weather is finally on it's way!

All of these outfits are from previous years/seasons ... because why not just dress them up differently each year ... but I have linked things that are super similar! :)

I shared these two dresses with you last Wednesday & I'm still getting tons of compliments on both. I wish I could give you girls a direct link but I can't find neither one online! The struggle!

Black denim one day ...

Denim shorts the next.

I told you this weather can't make up its mind!

Both of these plaid tops are from Old Navy last year & while I was online looking this morning I came across all of these. Oh my heart! Give me all the plaid!

I mean did you see these!?! I'm thinking I need them in my life!

Plaid & pjs? Yes, please.

Remember our fair picture from this weekend!?!

This may be one of my favorite Fall outfits!

I bought my military jacket on clearance at the end of last season but I did find this vest & I'm loving it too! I would pair it with maybe a white long sleeve top, denim, boots & a scarf. Super cute outfit!

My dark denim jeans are Dittos & I bought them from Macy's while on my girl's trip in New York. They are SO comfy! Here they are in black & had I of seen black at Macy's, I would have bought them!

My shirt is Gap. This one isn't my exact one but pretty close!

I love Gap shirts!

I've shared my boots with you before & I can't say enough good things about them.

Let's talk about my outfit yesterday ...

The weather was cool in the morning but got warmer by the afternoon so this was pretty much perfect. Not too hot, not too cool!

I've talked about my kimono before from Belk ... Amazon actually has lots to choose from! And who doesn't love Amazon!?!

I love a dress and boots in the Fall. Those t-shirt dresses are some of my favs!

If y'all haven't figured it out by now, I am a bargain shopper. Nine times out of ten the outfits you see me wearing are different pieces I pick up off the clearance rack! And I'll let you in on a ~~not so~~ little secret ... Black Friday, Belk has tons of their boots $19.99-$49.99 ... that's when I stock up! A bargain shoppers dream! And it's no different for my kiddos ... hello consignment sales & clearance racks. HA! If you pick up the right pieces you can make any outfit happen! There is no shame in my bargain shopping game ;).

Show & Tell Tuesday :: Share a Scary or Fun Halloween Story

by Whitney Pegram - Tuesday, October 04, 2016

It's Tuesday & you know what that means ... time for Show & Tell Tuesday with Andrea! Every other Tuesday we link up & talk about one specific topic. Today we are sharing a scary or fun Halloween story!

I technically don't have either so I decided it would be fun to share Halloween pictures from the past!

Oh! We can call it 'The Tale of Halloween Past'.

So I DO have a story :).

Well, there's that!

First up ...

Halloween 2009.

I was about 5 months pregnant with Cooper!

[And that picture is blurry because well, it wasn't taken with a fancy camera or iPhone. I mean, technology has come a long way just since then.]

2010.

Cooper's first Halloween.

He was Dumbo & oh my heart ... the cutest Dumbo ever, I might add!

And I just put this one on here because I could just pinch that little fella!

Halloween 2011 Coop was a smurf!

Y'all!!

The cutest cowboy ever!

Halloween 2012

Those blue eyes!

Oh & there's Millie Jo :).

Whoa belly!

Halloween 2013.

Millie Jo's first Halloween!

All the puffy red hearts!

Halloween 2014.

My race car driver & little clown!

One of my favorite pictures ever!

It describes my girl's personality perfectly!

And Halloween 2015.

My Redskin football player ... I can assure you he will NOT be that again this year. HA!! And little miss Shirley Temple!

To be continued ... :)

My kiddos have already decided what they are going to be this year & I can't wait to share it with you. BUT, I'll wait because we still have four weeks until Halloween & ~~there's a chance that~~ they will change their minds!

Here's a look at the upcoming topics . . .

Weekend Wrap Up

by Whitney Pegram - Monday, October 03, 2016

Oh October, you sure did sneak up on me.

If you've been reading my blog for anytime at all then you know that October was the month we thought we would welcome our sweet baby girl, Ruthie Belle, into the world. This has always been my favorite month & I can remember being so excited in February when we found out we were having an October baby. Even though she won't be here physically we are still going to celebrate her sweet little self.

And this month has already started out special!

Here's a look at what we were up to this weekend . . .

Friday & breakfast with your bestie.

Coop went home with his buddy, Brady, after school on Friday. That evening Millie Jo & I went & had homemade pizzas with them, his mom & sister.

Such a fun night with friends!

After dinner these two & I headed to a local high school football game.

Saturday morning we hit up a few yard sales & our favorite antique store!

And it wouldn't be a Saturday without a trip to Home Depot :).

Saturday night we went to the fair.

Eeeek!

This may just be my all time favorite Fall tradition!

I couldn't think of a better way to start off this month than with my little family!

They even won prizes!

Piggy back ride to the car :).

Love my girl so much!

I told you back in my favorite Fall traditions post that the fair was the very first place Dan & I ever went together. I was only 14 & he was 16! This year was our thirteenth year in a row going together! We love taking our kiddos with us every year! This is a tradition that I hope goes on ... & on ... & on!

After the fair Cooper & Millie Jo stayed with Mimi & Paw-Paw.

Sunday afternoon we went & picked them up then headed to Grammy & Pop's for dinner!

And that was our weekend.

It was a much needed family filled weekend & I enjoyed it so much!

See you tomorrow for Show & Tell Tuesday!
