 As soon as I saw this link up for the first time I knew it was something I wanted to do, and will probably continue to do for a long time.

Kid clothes are so much more fun for me than dressing myself. Dressing my sons isn't that exciting, although I enjoy buying their clothing. Lilly is a different story. I love dressing her, and she loves clothes ( I know I am creating a monster, and I will really regret this in 10 years!).

For this week I thought I would go back through my pictures of her outfits from this winter. If you follow me on Instagram (which you can do here) I post her outfits a lot.

I am so excited to add this to my weekly list of things to share! I have weeks months worth of kid clothing insight and knowledge (something I am a little too proud of maybe!)

Midweek Confessions.

Today Tonight I am linking up with Elizabeth .... it's confession time!

1.  Today I got my hair completely chopped off.  I do this every time I have a child, and I am 3/3 on hating it.  I knew as soon as she made the first snip it was a bad idea, but it's just hair, right?  Short hair beats the time I spend in in the shower pulling clumps of hair from my scalp.  Post-Partum hair loss SUCKS!

2.  I am having major issues with getting the will power to work out.  I did so good for about 3 weeks (like at 6 weeks pp) but got side tracked, and have yet to find my way back.

 3.  Yesterday I got a little too excited about my latest purchases, and forced JD to try it all on, he was a champ about the whole thing.... can you tell I am ready for the beach?!?

4. I am obsessed with Dance Moms.  I could elaborate on this more, but there is no need....smh

5.  I always have so many more confessions that I think of as things are happening, but when I sit to write, I ALWAYS forget them....

Faith, Hope, Love and Luck.

Yesterday Lillian found this gem in our front yard. She was so excited.

Last night I sat and thought.

A clover with 4 leaves.

Such a rarity.

Many know the meaning behind it. Faith, hope, love and luck.

4 things that I think Are so important to have in life.

Faith. No matter what it is, you have to have faith in something. Trusting in something or someone. Whether it be faith within religion, faith in your spouse, faith in humanity. Trust is something that (to me) is so hard to gain, but so sacred.

Hope. Living without hope would be so horrible. Even with all the horrible events in the world (especially this past week) we must live with hope that the world will become a better place. Hope for our children's future. Hope for a wonderful fulfilling life.

Love. For me this one is simple. Without the love of my husband, children, and family my life would be nothing. Also giving that love right back to them. My goal every day is to remind Matt, Matthew, Lillian and Joshua how much they are loved by me.

Luck. You an have all the determination, will power, and hard work in life, but let's face it, sometimes a little luck is what you need.

So Miss Lilly, I hope this 4 leaf clover, that you have perfectly set inside your jewelry box, gives you all of these things. Because my sweet girl, you deserve faith, hope, love and luck everyday, no matter what.
