WPW Wednesday Halloween Edition

HEY! IT'S NOVEMBER ALREADY! Do you know what that means? THANKSGIVING! and then BLACK FRIDAY! and then...

CHRISTMAS!!!

I know I know. I'm jumping on the Christmas sleigh a little too early but seriously, this has been such a wonderful and yet challenging year and Christmas makes me so happy and gives me something to look forward to that I don't care.

And it's not the presents that I'm excited about.

It's the decorating, music, singing, hot chocolate, peppermint, candles, parties, family, crafting, wintery, coldness, celebration of Christ, and LOVE that I'm yearning for. I'm spreading the Christmas cheer and getting ready. Besides, I'm starting on gifts and spreading them out so I don't end up dropping a huge dime all at once (which will probably happen anyways).

Anyways, on to Wet Polish and Wardrobe Wednesday!

So even though it was Halloween, I have done so many Halloween nails that I decided to just go PINK! I saw this on Pinterest and had to try it out:



It makes me want to eat a cupcake and I don't even like cupcakes. :)

As for Wardrobe, here is a quick snap in front of my sister's house:



Cardi & Shorts: F21 Shirt & Leggings: Target Boots: Cathy Jean

Sorry I didn't get more photos. We were always on the go.

Mr. Harrison's Wardrobe is Halloween edition. This year for Halloween I didn't focus on my costume like I did last year because I was really excited about Mr. Harrison's costume.

He went as:


Nacho Libre!

I love it! :) It turned out better than I thought it would and was pretty cheap!

Cape: Made by me in 45 minutes (including cutting everything out)! super easy! $10
Bloomers: Borrowed from his cousin Margaret
Leggings: Nordstrom Rack $5; Patches sewn on by me
Socks: Already had them (Target $1.00)

I'm really glad I decided to go through with it even though things have been super crazy lately. So fun :)

What do you think?

My trip... and no WPW


Hey there friends.

I'm home from my trip to Utah to see my sister and help her family while her youngest is in the NICU. It was a great trip although we were hoping that she would still be on bed rest by this point. I really miss their family and always love spending time with them!

I was pretty nervous because Mr Harrison had his first flight on this trip. I mean, I had nightmares about this for weeks before the trip. Ironically, after a 3 HOUR delay {
yeah that sucked} he slept the whole way there... and cried the whole way back! haha oh well.

Here he is soaking up the beautiful 70 degree weather.


He's got his stunnah shades on. He left these on for like half an hour! He really likes to be trendy.

Here are my sister's boys at the park- probably the only place where they can actually get all of their limitless energy out! Kyler, Brayden, and Keaton.


Mr. Harrison of course had to have his photo op at the park as well :)

Shirt: Thrifted Sunglasses (above) and Pants (not pictured): Children's Place

I only have one picture of my sister and I. We were so busy with her kids and trips back and forth from the hospital that we didn't really stop to think about it. I'll have to show you that one later because she asked me to hold off on any NICU pictures for a little bit.

I do however, have a few {blurry} outfits from before my trip to show you...

Outfit 1- Top & Neckace: F21 Cardi: Wet Seal Skirt: Target Belt: Agaci Shoes: Payless
Outfit 2- Undershirt: DownEast Shirt: borrowed from my sister Jeans and shoes: Target

And sorry guys no Wet Polish and Wardrobe Wednesday for this week {at least the wet polish part}. I'm fighting off a cold along with my little guy being sick too. Did you know that sick days are not nearly as fun when you have to take care of sick babykins too? I do! Anyone have any remedies?

And then of course there's my secret project... did you forget? I will be posting about it tomorrow!! So excited. What do you think it is? We have some close guesses so far.

Quick WPW Wednesday

I only have a few seconds because I'm here in utah helping my sister with her baby Paxton who is in the NICU. He was born at only 25 weeks 6 days gestation and weighed 2lbs 5oz. so if you have prayers to spare, please include him and their family in them.

these were quickly done before I left and I think they turned out ok.



I tried to make them look like wallpaper-ish or decopaged. What do you think?

As for the outfit, also quickly put together, simple, blah.

Feeling a little like fall. Maybe if I wear warmer clothes it'll get colder outside?

Shirt: F21 Jeans: Target Chucks: kids journeys (yes I wear kid sized shoes)

And we can't forget my red MAC lipstick. The best.




This was Mr. Harrison's outfit for the plane ride. He was stylin' and comfy in his puma track suit.

Pants and jacket: Puma, gifted Onesie: Costco

Sorry it's quick. Hope your Wednesday is great!

Big Red

My Grandmother passed away this past Friday morning. It was a long time coming and she was very sick so it was a relief to know that she is no longer suffering or in pain.

I am so grateful that I was able to visit with her for the entire day on Tuesday. She even sat up, held the baby, and joked with me about being a mother. My last memories of her were of her smiling face and the love she had for me and Harrison.

Things I loved about her:

How she always made us tons of bacon and eggs when we would go to visit her in Prescott
How she always needed chocolate or some kind of candy bar
How every time we talked, she would surprise me with some crazy story about her teenage years
Her red hair (white in the past few years but red for a long time)
Her love of jewelery
Her clip-on earrings
How she always spoiled her dogs
How she would always take me to see a "show" at the movies

and many more...

Here we are at my Graduation from ASU:


This was her house back in Prescott. I miss that beautiful house:

Us at my wedding:


Her holding Harrison:


She was surrounded by family, just how she wanted to be. I'll miss you, Big Red!
