This week Asher started school, which meant we had two boys out of the house and it went smoother than I expected. No more tears from Hudson and since Asher was already familiar with Hudson’s old school he was a pro! Asher only goes for 3 hours, but boy oh boy is it hard to let your kids go for even a little bit of time. It literally felt like my heart was out of my body and I couldn’t protect them and make sure all was right with them. I’m happy to report though that they are thriving and I held it together. We are still getting settled into my parent’s house, but I was even able to get back to a somewhat normal work routine.

Here are my favorite finds from the week!

-Family photos are on my mind. I’m lucky enough to have my super talented friend,Elizabeth Kristin photograph my family. She is family to me and my kids call her Aunt Liz, which means we are all super relaxed when she shoots us.

I’ve been trying to nail down my outfit and here are some contenders:

For a more glam look I’m really loving this dress or this pretty ruffled wrap dress.

I think this top is pretty adorable, but I’m not sure if it’s too trendy. Am I going to look back at the ruffles and one sleeve and cringe?

I also love the idea of this top. It’s a bit trendy, but classic black so more timeless.

This stripy and ruffled dress is right down my ally, but stripes are tough to photograph. So, I’m on the fence.

I really love everything about this dress. It’s such a pretty style and I love the colors and the flowers, but I don’t think it would be flattering on me. Had to share it anyway.

Do you have any favorites? How do you typically dress in family portraits? Dressed up or more casual?
