Bloggy Blessings For A Bad Blogger

My son and I have matching dimples. Oh HELLO Friend! Here I am! I wanted to pop in just to test the waters and share a bit about what is going on with me as well as what you may be seeing on the blog in the very near future. I know that my posts have been sporadic. This is by design. I am unapologetic that my blog is at the back of a very long line on my list of priorities. My home life with my loved ones will always come before my blogging pursuits. I don't post as regularly as I  should.  I know that it makes me a bad blogger . I've said it before and I am still not ashamed to admit that my blog sucks, but my life doesn't!   I am OK with that. Long ago I gave up on trying to juggle family life, work life, and blogging.

Neiman Marcus Fall 2015 Fashion Trend Report

It's that time for the Neiman Marcus Fall Trend Event! The Fall 2015 Trend Event preview in San Diego was held on August 12 at Neiman Marcus Fashion Valley . While enjoying a nice lunch, bloggers had the opportunity to preview Fall Fashion as presented by Style Advisor Alex Yanez. Food and fashion with friends (old and new) is a great way to spend an afternoon!  The Fall 15 Trend Event runs from August 12-19 at Neiman Marcus, don't miss out on the GWP. Several bloggers and I arrived fashionably early . We all took advantage of a quick photo op prior to the start of the show. To be honest, I love fashion and style - but since becoming a Mommy, I don't really dress the part that much anymore! I wasn't sure WHAT to wear but will post very soon on what I decided on! Meanwhile, please take a peek at some of the pictures that I was able to snap from my vantage point and my thoughts on Fall 2015. All of my pictures were taken with my smartphone, I guess I don't
