What To Wear?!

You may not have guessed trying to figure out what you should wear would be an issue as a young Mother. It was more of a stressful matter for myself when I was a young Mother around the age of 18. Even still is somewhat to this day at the age of 26. Though my style and taste is starting to mature a tad.

I did not dress...lets see, how can I put this without using judgmental sounding like words, without taste? I dressed like your typical eighteen year old in the summer with shorts and tanks that were sold in the juniors department. I did have modesty. In the winter months I wore what was in style for the seasons. I still do and am always doing my best to keep up with the times and my age. But I somewhat felt I had to dress older than what I am because I was/am a Mom at a younger age.

I  wasn't ready to step into the women's department just because I was a Mother now. Hello I was only eighteen at the time. I was judged back then when I would be out in public for many reasons. One, because I was a teenage mom I know. Two, because I didn't make-over my whole wardrobe to what others expected it should have been. That's when I started to realize what society expects of us as human beings and as Mothers. It amazed me and put me in shocked me. I knew I wasn't about to join to today's society and become what's the word, camouflage. I never would regardless if I were a young Mother or not, and those who know me know that also.

So I stuck to my fashion style for my age no matter what. And today I stick my tongue out at society like my two year old daughter. Sorry if you think that is childish.

Which brings me to yesterday at Target with my lovely Husband. I had my eye's on these Pants for some time now. He's not a fan. When I say not a fan, he thinks they are hideous looking. And when he thinks that I honestly start to second guess myself because he's actually great when it comes to fashion and loves to shop. I know I am a lucky lucky gal.

While I am hanging onto the pants he brings up how I have gotten rid of his old shirts. Typical guy right? By old in my offense, old is from high school shirts. Because the conversation about me be judged about what I wear vs. being a young mom came up. So again in my offense I am no longer wearing close I wore in high school. Do you agree it's time he lets go of his clothes from high school if he wants to buy new clothes?  <Enter chuckle here. >  Let me tell you he has no room for more clothes, ha ha.

Therefore our jokingly conversation continues and I mention how I can start dressing in the department way at the other end. Which I do find some clothes in misses sometimes. Needles to say, we walked out of Target with my pants I originally wanted. I can't wait to wear them on date night. Ha ha.

Though now I am starting to as I call it, blend in with the motherhood scene. My kids are just a tad but older than some kids. Or I am younger than most Mothers in my Daughter's grades.

Our Over-Night Escape

Maybe escape sounds to harsh, because I would never want to escape from my kids in all reality. Once we started having children I turned into one of those moms who never wants to leave her babies. Seriously; we haven't even had our honey moon yet because I couldn't face the fact of leaving our daughter more than one night. Then we had only one daughter compared to three now.

Finally after six years of being married and we decided to take an over night excursion. Nothing fabulous. The girls stayed the night at Grandma & Grandpa H's home while we went up to their cabin. We really enjoyed our alone time and brought us back to beginning. The beginning when It were just us two. We were able to have a full conversation without any interruptions, which was nice for a change.

We spent our time at a local vintage cafe, scouted out some antique shops in the little town, and rode the ruckuses around the dirt roads. We were able to enjoy a nice lunch over looking Croton lake followed by a lovely nature walk around Croton Dam. And of course we had to walk through the peaceful woods following deer tracks. We also did some target practice. Yes, I can shoot a gun. I may not hit the target, but Give me some credit. Ha ha ha.

I feel it is very important for married to get away over night even if its one time a year. Or maybe 1 time every six years, ha ha. It lets you recoup as a couple and bring you back on solid feet.
