Simply Yvonne's Blog

Kaylee just turned 28 months over weekend, meaning it's time to start thinking about potty training! eek! (when do people stop saying months and go straight to 2  years and 4 months :) I have a feeling that this little sweet baby is not going to be so sweet when it comes to potty training.  She hasn't shown any signs that she is ready but  this momma is really hoping she will show it soon... no more diapers please! I have been really busy with work and photo shoots lately but excited to share some of my work on the blog. This July 4th,  Kaylee and I will be taking a trip back home to South Dakota and Minneapolis to visit friends and family so more photos of family to come. Have a great week and thanks so much for visiting! Congrats to J. ma Cao on winning the ipad app!

28 Months: Kaylee and coco just chilling. Kaylee new favorite game! Pan: The Fearless Beribolt My little baby is no longer little anymore! She's growing up way too fast and we love that she is talking a lot now. She's constantly learning new things each day and a curious little girl. She's can come across as very shy and quiet but once you get to know her,  she is definitely not shy. Recently she has been playing with Pandora "Pan" Beribolt App and she just love Pan, the fearless little purple panda. She made a connection with Pan right away. Beautiful graphics and creative interactive games with cute story telling. It didn't take Kaylee very long to figure out how to navigate through app and she is learning new words and phrases at the same time. The game is available on ipad and ipad mini only. I definitely recommend this game to anyone with little kids. If you like to win an app for your little one, please leave a comment below and I'll p

Blouse: American Eagle Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters pants: HM Loving my bright, orange blouse from American Eagle at the moment. Everything is 40% off in store and online right now. I am tempted to go back to the store to get the black chevron blouse that they have also.  I don't normally shop at AE but I just couldn't resist orange chevron. Life has been busy these days. I wish I have more time to photograph and share more on the blog. Since Kaylee is older and active, I am cherishing every minute with her when I get off from work. Less time on computer and more time laughing and dancing to NickJr.  Her giggles and laughter can cure a long stressful day at work. Thank you friends for sticking around and reading my little ol' blog :) have a great weekend!

From Mother's Day Weekend: I got to spend Mothers Day with my two favorite people. Just a simple Sunday afternoon playing in the sun and it was perfection. Love watching Kaylee being overly excited over boat watching and dancing around in her cowgirl boots. Such a privilege to be a mother and share it with so many awesome women. "Life is just a series of everyday moments.  Hug your kids.  Now.  Go breathe them in.  They will only love legos, and dress up in tutus for so long.   So be their tea party partner.  Wear a cape.  Tickle them until neither of you can laugh anymore." Karen Stott Have a beautiful week!

Blouse and Skirt: Express Necklace: The Limited  Favorite top and skirt at the moment. It's feminine, elegant and vibrant,  simply perfect for warm weather we are getting lately. Can't forget Kaylee's lookbook too! HM dress and Target boots!   Hello there Spring. I am so happy to see you again, so excited to reunite with my summer dresses, bright pants and those cute sandals that are hiding somewhere behind my messy closet. Have a blessed weekend. Until next time!

Quick shoot before we head to the store earlier this week! Spontaneous photoshoot are always the best! I can't believe it has been a month since I last updated! I simply do not know how mommy bloggers out there balance work, life, and keep up with their blog! I have been working lots, the house is a mess but I am enjoying the simple things in life and blessed with so many kissed from my little fashionista each day! Little update on Kaylee, still a little sweetheart at 25 months! She doesn't call me momma, mom nor mommy but simply just mum. I am raising an English baby! ha! Right now her favorite tunes are Baa Baa Black Sheep, The Wheels on the Bus and the alphabet! You can watch her sing here :D At 25 months, I am amazed at how calm she is! I am so lucky to say that I have only witnessed her throwing a tantrum about 3 times total in public! That's pretty good right?! She is a quick learner and has great memory! (she definitely did not get that from me nor her d

Wrapping paper as a backdrop Tissue paper #2, Fun and easy little diy I made the week before her bday while watching the Oscars :) Who doesn't love chocolate covered strawberry!! Delicious! Baked these yummy delicious cupcakes for the first time! Not to brag but it was a hit! lol Kaylee at 3M, 6M, 1Yr and 18M   I can cook too, is it good? You be the judge :) Come over anytime for dinner! We had so much fun this year planning Kaylee's 2nd birthday Party! I did not go extreme on the decor and we just wanted to keep it simple and minty. She had such a good time that day and did not go to bed until midnight! (Don't judge us, were good parents..promise) Kaylee is so lucky to have so many great people in her life and came for her special day!
