Target Tuesday!!! (plus weekend update!)

Whether you are graduating from high school/college, having a bridal shower or baby shower or just plain having a BBQ, Target has the perfect dresses for every occasion!
We all know that summer is the perfect time to wear dresses and it is also the months of weddings and baby showers. Which I have been to one wedding already, I have my soon-to-be sister-in-laws shower in July, my best friends baby shower in September and the brother in law & sister in law's wedding in September too! Just call me busy! 
So, I have put together a few of the dresses that I really adore from Target, and let me tell you it was very difficult to choose just FIVE! I'm really liking the color yellow right now, its the color of the sun, makes everything more summery! 

one - two - three - four - five

These dresses are all flow-y! They are great for the summer heat! Perfect for the student who needs a simple dress that won't make her sweat under near her cap and gown or (like me) the yellow dress is perfect for a country themed bridal shower where I can wear my brown cowboy boots too! Or Maxi dresses are great for the momma's to be, giving enough length and showing off their cute belly bumps! Also, the last dress I love, am in love with it, as you know my hubby is in the coast guard and this would be ABSOLUTELY perfect for his homecoming this summer! 

Which occasion do you have to attend? 
Find your perfect dress at Target! 
I know I will!!

As, for my weekend update and talking about dresses!
My best friend had her wedding reception this past Saturday! 
And it was beautiful out, no rain could have stopped that party! 

blue dress- old navy (old); similar here. white dress- kohl's; here
 I was her matron of honor and I had to give a speech. Let me just tell you have much I am VERY afraid of public speaking! I HATE IT! Like, a lot. But anyway, I pushed through it and gave a ONE page speech! It was cute though and I started the water works. WIN!  :)
Not that it's that hard with her emotional pregnancy hormones!

Bride and Groom's first dance!
Oh how sweet love is! 
And how I wish them many years of love and happiness!!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!! 
I also received two free products when I got home so stay tuned to those post!

Target Tuesday!!

We all know that Father's Day is June 16th this year! Or at least we all have an idea of when it is! I've come up with a few of the cute gifts that Target has for father's this year. Whether your the "father" is a new daddy, a "tool" guy, a groomer (aka the military man), a business man, or the outdoorsy guy, you can find that special gift for your man at Target! 

one - two - three - four - five

Simple little gifts that let the "father" know you're thinking of them. The perfect little diaper bag that you can pack with wipes, diapers and anything the new daddy to be may need! A little gift set for the business man in your life! New ties, a bag and accessories for work! A little case that contains the right tools that will help your guy fix any problem you have! Great gift that is also for you! ;) Another gift that can be used for your guy that loves the out doors, or especially fishing! And lastly, a perfect gift for the guy that loves having a clean shave, or for you military wives that have hubby's who HAVE to have a clean shave all the time! 

Whether you have a strict budget for fathers day or a very generous one, you can find a perfect gift to match your perfect guy from Target. And no, these post are not sponsored by Target. 

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Target Tuesday!!

I missed last Tuesday, I have so much going on! I am trying to start a bow business. If you follow me on pinterest or on instagram you will see some of the bows I am making. I also have been going to the doctor a lot. Everything is okay, but just check ups! Anyway, I have been obsessed with baskets lately! And actually bought two recently (would have bought more but the hubby stopped me). 
Here are my favorite ones from Target:

one - two - three - four - five

I am in love with baskets! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I actually own basket number one! Its soo cute! These baskets are perfect for blankets, baby toys, paper work, etc! I mean who doesn't love being trying to be organized. Especially the women who have children, this is a way to give your house a little organization but along with something that's not an ugly plastic purple color!

I plan on getting another basket (number one) for my friends baby shower and just add blankets, and onesies, and write the baby's name on the chalkboard. And instead of just throwing the normal bag or basket away from the gift, this basket can grow with the child and with the family. Later it can be used to hold toys.

Maybe you will think about getting yourself a basket!?
Spring Summer cleaning will be in full effect once my hubby leaves!

Enjoy Your Tuesday Everyone!

Cara Box Reveal {My First Ever!}

I have been following Kaitlyn at Wifessionals for awhile now. I noticed the Cara Box on her blog in March and wanted to sign up right away! But my husband and I were planning our trip for our one year anniversary to Disney in April and I thought it wouldn't be fair to whoever I was emailing, being distracted and occupied since my husband also had recently came home from patrol! So anyway! I signed up for MAY and am very pleased. 

 You can find out about the Cara Box here!

cara (car-rah) noun   :   beloved friend

I was matched up with two very lovely ladies! Roxanne over at Dude, it's Roxy and Elizabeth over at My cup of Sparkle. It was very nice to meet these ladies because they live actually close. Roxy is from Pennsylvania (like me), but lives in Orlando now and Elizabeth is from Maryland. This months theme was Regional, and I must admit it was kinda difficult! I am not from Virginia and the only things I could think of was salt water taffy (which I've never tried). I sent Roxy a box, which I didn't get pictures of so I stole one from off her page! Since she already posted I will share the picture! (Go check out her post!) Shes very sweet! 
I then got a box from Elizabeth, what she sent was very sweet and she did a very wonderful job with matching the theme! 
The mugs were my favorite! She had one mug (her home, Maryland) and then to mine. She made it the WHOLE United States, since I am a Military Wife she wrote a note saying that every time I move somewhere just add a heart to the map. And I thought that, that was very thoughtful! I will always have a piece of her home with us. The strawberry is a reusable baggy, apparently in Maryland there is a bag tax! I never knew that! But now I do! The frame is so sweet, and has made a home on our book case. And lastly, the seasoning, she said that Maryland is basically famous for their seafood (which I am not a big fan off) so she sent me something I could use for a lot of things. I also LOVE the box she sent it in! I am currently using it to hold all the bows I am making! Its my favorite color and who doesn't love an adorable box like that!

I was very pleased with this experience and signed up for next month! I wish I could do it every month but after June I will have to stop, since I will be having a very very busy summer! So be prepared for a lot of post and a lot of time off too! Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Weekend! And don't forget to thank all military service members! I will be treating my hubby to some red white and blue french toast this morning after his 24 hr duty!

Starting a bow business!

So recently, I have had a hard time finding a job at our current station, it is so hard to find something that works with my husband's schedule. I decided I wanted to start my own "business." I will be selling bows with clips and on elastic head bands (for now), and also little men bow ties! 
 I probably won't officially open my business until JUNE. I want to make sure I have a few bows made in stock and a few customers lined up. I will be getting more fabric, and I have few other bows made that are not pictured in this! If you are interested let me know! 

I am so excited and I can't wait!
I hope it works out for me, wish me luck!

Target Tuesday!!

I decided that I need to post something that will keep my followers and more followers coming back to my blog. And since, everyone and there mother is ADDICTED to Target (along with myself). I decided to post my favorite things from Target every Tuesday! Well since summer is right around the corner for most of us, it's "snowing" in Pennsylvania where my parents live apparently, I decided to do my favorite Target bathing suits!

one - two - three - four - five

I chose these bathing suits as my favorite because I wanted to choose a bathing suit of each type.
 The first one is the only one that doesn't have purple in it (actually I don't really like the color purple but I love these bathing suits). I chose this one because the bottom band looks thicker than the normal halter bathing suits. 
The second one I am absolutely in LOVE with! I wanted to buy it but my Target doesn't sell it in store. I love that its like a bandeau but the straps are tank top style. Which means support!! Especially for the girls who are fuller in the chest! 
The third one I chose because it's very funky! Actually I had 4 or 5 bandeau tops I liked and couldn't choose which one I liked and asked my husband. This is the one he chose. 
The fourth one I choose because there are some girls out there that like to cover up more without wearing a one piece. I mean it's a lot easier to take off if you need to use the restroom! I like that it has the knot in the top it gives it more style without looking "Old Lady."
The fifth one I actually really like, I don't know the last time that I wore a one piece but I would totally rock this one! I love the flowers in it and the colors. I also really love the one strap!

All these bathing suits are very affordable, compared to bathing suits are Victoria Secrets. I have nothing against VS, I just can't justify buying a bathing suit for $60+! I am a huge fan of bandeau type bathing suits! They are the only type of bathing suits that completely cover me up. I feel that when I wear the Triangle type bathing suit I am popping out all over the place. Until recently, I found the perfect halter bathing suit from Marshall's. 

Which one is your favorite style??
