Camo shirt: {5} Ways

As I mentioned in my Five on Friday post last week, I recently purchased a camo t-shirt... a trend I did not think I would be keen on/nor see myself  jumping on board with! When I happened to stumble upon the perfect camo tee though, I found myself falling in love with something I once booted to the curb.
Here I have for you five ways that I decided to style this top!
Camo top shown in all these styles is from Target.

one || "Plain Jane"

Just the tee and a favorite pair of jeans with a comfy pair of flats!

Jeans: Old Navy || Flats: Old Navy || Earrings: (old) 

|| two || 

A leather jacket and some kick butt wedges make this look!

Leather jacket: Forever 21 || Jeans: Old Navy || Wedges: TJ Maxx

|| three ||

Staying comfy in this maxi skirt and tee!

Sweater vest: Aeropostale || Maxi skirt: Meijer stores || Sandals: K-Mart

|| four ||

Going glam with this touch of sparkle and some heels!

Necklace: Jane || Black skinnies: Express || Heels: Target

|| five ||

Sporty and relaxed with some distressed jeans and sneakers.

Cardigan: Old Navy || Jeans: American Eagle || Coach shoes: Tj Maxx

Oven Roasted Asparagus

What doesn't say Spring/Summer better than fresh fruits and vegetables??
I love vegetables grilled on the grill with some chicken or steak! I also really enjoy going to the farmer's market to get my produce.
Since Michigan is not quite cooperating with the Spring weather (it's been rainy and chilly here the last few days) I decided to make some asparagus in the oven last night and it was so yummy!!!

Oven Roasted Asparagus

What you need:

• Bunch of asparagus
• Olive oil
• Parmesan cheese
• Minced garlic
• Sea salt & pepper (to taste)

Make it:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• If needed, trim asparagus.
• Place the asparagus in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and garlic. Toss to coat.
• Place asparagus on a baking sheet and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until tender.

My husband and I enjoyed this with some grilled chicken! The heads on the asparagus were nice and crispy and it had so much yummy flavor.

Five on Friday: 5.25.14

Hellooooo Friday!!!
My husband and I have been putting in a lot of extra hours at the hospital and life has just been a rollin'.... sorry I have been slightly neglecting my bloggity blog!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you who have left some of the sweetest comments! I love hearing from each and every one of you! Totally makes my day! :)
Welp... on to my list for Five on Friday!

one |  So, I have a question for all of you.... when it comes to comments do you reply via email or reply on the comment on your blog? I have been struggling with this because I once read that you SHOULD reply by email but to me then that looks like I neglect my comments and do not acknowledge them. I have been torn lately on what to do. Any comments, suggestions, or preferences by anyone?


two |   I love funny animal pictures on Pinterest, especially cat ones! Here are a few of my recent favorites!

three |  Last week or so I won a gift card to Flourish Boutique from Steph @ White Coat Wardrobe's blog giveaway and I finally got a chance to pick some things out a couple nights ago! It was super hard as they have so many items! I love their shop! The other night I wore their Blushing Ballerina flats that are featured on my side bar and they are SO comfy! It was my first time taking them for a spin and normally flats give me a little bit of a blister the first time I wear them but not these.
Check out their awesome site!

four | One trend I never thought I would jump on board with was camo but I recently found a "nice camo pattern" comfy tee at Target and could not resist getting it. Maybe camo is already on the way out but I am excited to mix and match it in to my wardrobe! Check back next week for some ways I have styled this trend!


five |  Less than 20 days and my husband and I will be on a beach in the Dominican for one week with a drink in our hands and good friends by our side! I CAN NOT WAIT!!! WOOO!!

1. Mix everything together and enjoy!!

Weekend Recap: Easter 2014

Tyler and I hosted Easter at our house for the 3rd year in a row 

with my family and it was a blast! 

The weather turned out beautiful! 

We had an Easter egg hunt for my niece and she loved it.

It was a busy weekend but great spending quality family time!
