thrifty: old and new

Today I wore those white shorts that I thrifted back in the beginning of July! I wore them and they fit- perfectly! Woo hoo! My health and fitness journey is really paying off when it comes to my closet. I mixed those shorts with things I've owned for 3+ years today. One of my favorite pairs of wedges, my favorite necklace, and a classic black t-shirt.

I think for most women, after having babies, one of your first personal goals is to be able to wear clothes that you wore before getting pregnant. The was definitely a personal goal of mine. I reached my pre-pregnancy weight this week so I got a little more brave about trying on clothes. These shorts I'm wearing today are nothing fancy. I bought them for $3.00 at the thrift store because they were a good basic but I could barely button them last July. It wasn't pretty. So today, after a great workout of strolling the girls through the neighborhood, I figured I'd give them a try. They fit! They fit with no muffin top. Woo hoo! Yay for thrifty finds that fit!

Julianna's Beat Box Boogie

Olivia- 3 months + video

Olivia is 3 months old today! Our sweet baby girl is growing so fast and developing such a sweet personality. She's still cooing and babbling all of the time but now she's added in happy squeals! It's adorable! She's still tries to roll over and gets stuck on her side. I think she'll get it soon though. I'm not sure of her exact weight but I'd say she weighs about 14 lbs. or so and is at least 24 inches. Here's a video of her "talking" and trying to roll over yesterday:
