Sandy has a new place to sleep. She can watch TV, spy on us and receive treats and pets all from this chair next to the couch. Plus, I can take endless photos of her sleeping to prove that I am really a crazy cat lady mama.

OOTD: Thrifted Torrid Top
One of my proudest thrift store finds! I was unsure about it at first because it is sheer but I had the perfect tank top to fix that problem. I am also usually strongly opposed to tops that have the ruffle on the bottom. A lot of them have elastic too. Another one of the things that plus size clothing companies think is a great idea and puts it on everything! Do you know what I am talking about? But this one doesn't have elastic and it flairs out enough to change my mind on the ruffle.
top : thrifted
cardigan : torrid
jeggings : lane bryant
jellies : fred meyer
glasses : coastal
It was hot and I had just gotten ready quickly to head over to the parents. So that explains my exasperated look!
Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Library Books and Park Picnics
Last week brought us lots of sunshine, unlike this week. So I am glad that we took advantage of it and visited our new library and had a picnic in the park. It is just a couple blocks away from our house and something we should do more of! When I got off from work, we packed up our dinner and headed down the street. I was surprised to see how nice the library was and appreciated the artwork, architecture and design!
My stomach was growling so we went across the street to the park to eat dinner and lay in the grass. It was a beautiful evening! Our little adventure was very refreshing and good for the soul. Sometimes the best things are free.
Does your neighborhood have a library or park? I hope you take advantage of it!
