Modest Monday And A Link Up!

June 17, 2013 by · 11 Comments

Today’s Modest Monday is just a ordinary day. But ordinary days don’t have to be tiring, mundane days where we throw some clothes on and hope for the best. We need to live intentional and purposeful lives. Do we really want our children to remember us only taking care to dress nicely on Sunday? Can we throw a splash of lip gloss on during the week, do something to our hair other then the traditional “Mom on the go” ponytail?  Our children and husband are so important, let’s make the ordinary days count as well as the extra-special days. For more inspiration, read this post.

 

Modest Monday

 This day was an errand running day, and a clean the house day.

Modest Monday1

 This was a carefree at heart day…. I love summer type day.

Blouse – Maurices

Rowen Earrings – Deborah & Co.

It’s been a long and busy week. I came down with a sinus infection/head cold type illness on Tuesday and I’m still trying to get all the way over it. I spent two days in bed, and have been putting all sorts of essential oils on to help me get over it, which is helping.

Modest Monday and A Link up!

 

We have a fun little game we play every time we go outside to take pictures for Modest Monday. It’s called “let’s avoid the neighbors sitting in their yard across the street, because all they do is sit and stare and I don’t want to take pictures then.” It makes it quite interesting. :) With a small city yard we get creative about where we take pictures at. It never fails that these people (a huge crowd) are out in their yard when we go outside to do these pictures. :)

Shoes

 

I love my summery white sandals.

Earrings

Princess Tiara Earrings that Lilla Rose used to sell.

Backofhair

Earlier this week I treated my hair to a Beautiful Hair Treatment from The Bulk Herb Store. I used lemon juice to bring out lighter highlights, and used coconut oil instead of olive oil, and used eggs. Wow, the next day it was amazing the difference! Even my mother-in-law commented on it when she saw me, and she had no clue I had just applied the Beautiful Hair Mess Treatment. :) My family always love to tease me when I put it on, it is a slimy, green mess. But it really works and I love how it thickened up my hair and made it healthier looking for summer!

Modest Monday Pose

This dress is special because my husband gave it to me for my birthday. :)

What I Wore

Maxi Dress – Marshalls

Layering Cami – Halftee from Deborah & Co.

Sandals – Ross

Earrings – Lilla Rose

Makeup – Cowgirl Dirt

(I had on southern belle cream, blush, and tinted lip gloss)

Modest Monday is at the farm today! :) My husband’s grandpa owns a farm with cows, and chickens, tractors, gardens, fields, and ponds. It’s always a treat for my children to go down there (my mother-in-law has a house on the property as well) and play. For Memorial Day we went down with my sister and her husband (who is my husband’s brother!) for a fun picnic. We drove the RTV around the fields loaded full of children and adults, and the guys and children flew a kite. It was a wonderful day!

 

Modest Monday at the Farm! This time of year the flowers are beautiful around my mother-in-law’s house! Yes, that is her house, she lives in a pole barn style house. :)

Smelling the flowers

I love peony flowers!

lilla rose flexi clip braided hairstyle

This hairstyle was supposed to be my Dutch Braid hairstyle, but between doing it very quickly so we could leave, and being out in the wind it didn’t turn out quite perfect. Oh well. It was just family that saw it. And all my blog readers. ;)

Last week we went to a local park and met my mother in law there and had fun taking pictures of hairstyles using Lilla Rose flexi clips! I’m sharing a few of the hairstyles below. It’s a pretty park with a nice waterfall, so it was the perfect setting for pictures!

I carefully climbed up on the wet rocks with sandals on. :)

Stopping to fix my hair in a different style with a flexi clip. No mirror, no hairspray, in mere minutes. Love.

I loved the waterfall. The sound of water is so soothing, and brings back good memories of being in Florida visiting my grandparents, who thankfully always took us to the non-popular beaches. ;)

Abigail Skirt

Soft and comfortable maxi skirt.
