</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again I didn't make any specific requests for this month's Fix and while it worked out wonderfully last time, this time was a little different. Even though I kept a few of the pics from my last fix and praised my stylists choices I, once again, got a brand new stylist. I guess this is a lessen learned... If I want a particular stylist, I need to ask for her by name in my note to my stylist. Sorry to Caroline for not requesting you by name.</div>

<i>"Hey Lili, Happy Fix Day! I loved styling this Fix for you with some pieces inspired by your Pinterest. I noticed you pinned a black lace blouse. We didn't have the exact blouse in inventory, but I sent the lace back top for a similar look that can be dressed up or down. Since you pinned a sweater with zipper detail, I thought the navy and black RD Style sweater for you to wear with jeans or leggings for a cozy look. I also sent the Market & Spruce cardigan that you pinned to layer over casual outfits. Let me know what you think of these picks in your feedback during checkout! - Tori"</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While reading her post I discovered she didn't care for the length of the waist and sleeves. Which goes to show that everyone's style is unique to them. That's what makes Stitch Fix so amazing . I have a note in my Style Profile that says I love tops with longer waists, so I was actually drawn to the cardigan because of the length of waist and sleeves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabric is so soft and the jersey is super forgiving and flattering. It also washes really well! With 3 little ones, that in itself is GOLD!</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">FINAL THOUGHTS</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm mildly happy with this fix the 2 pieces I kept I really LOVE. They are unlike anything else I haven my closet and overall, that was the reason I started getting Stitch Fix! The other three pieces were really disappointing. One was HUGE just like 3 other sweaters I received in previous fixes. One was almost EXACTLY like a top I received in a previous fix and the last piece was just not flattering on my petite frame!</div>

<b>What is Stitch Fix ?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>How Does It Work</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Buy All 5 Discount</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> - Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</div>

Welcome to my last fix of 2015! This has been an amazing year not just for my wardrobe, but also in general. Life's good! So lets jump right in...</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>MY NOTE TO MY STYLIST</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month I did't send a note to my stylist, mainly because things got super busy at my ouse as we hosted 14 for Thanksgiving. I'd been keeping my Pinterest "My Style Board" updated , and frankly, I just have a really good feeling about my newest stylist, Caroline, so I really just wasn't worried.</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">MY STYLIST'S NOTE TO ME</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Lili, Happy Fix Day! I'm so glad you lobed your last Fix and I had a wonderful time styling for you again today. I saw you had recently pinned a fitted navy dress, and I found a very similar Skies are Blue dress for you! This would look amazing with a denim jacket and the scarf you kept from your last Fix. I know you enjoy a good skirt and the MoVint skirt has the timeless style that you enjoy. Try the 41Hawthorn sweater with the skirt for a fun and preppy outfit! Throw on a pair of tights and ankle boots and you are set! You have both the Creative Commune Blouse and The Market & Spruce Cardigan pinned and I was able to find both of them for you today! Try the Creative Commune Blouse on with a pair of black pants and heels for a fun date night look. Have fun trying on all your new clothes! Take care, Caroline</div>

This sweater is so comfortable and soft and looks great with leggings, skinny jeans, and those amazing DEAR JOHN Marson Wide Leg Denim Trousers I received in <a href="http://wanderinglili.blogspot.com/2015/09/stitch-fix-16-review-knoxville-tn.html">my 16th Fix</a>. And just for the sake of "honesty", I just MIGHT have worn it with a pair of pajama pants... I know, I lips that totally defeats the purpose of stitch fix, but as always, I'm keeping it real!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anther thing I love about this sweater is that it's a little lighter color. I've noticed that in the darker days of winter the colors seam to get so dull and dark. Although i's gray, a neutral color, it somehow pulls off "bright".</div>

this fix was great because Caroline sent me pieces i pinned and is really paying attention to the looks i'm going for and what i'm asking for as well. just sometimes things look better in print than they do in person. thanks for a great fix!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What is Stitch Fix ?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>How Does It Work</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Buy All 5 Discount</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> - Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>MY NOTE TO MY STYLIST</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to request Layla as my stylist this fix. It's frustrating starting over each time with a new stylist. For this fix; knit tops and sweaters and white. I've pinned a ton. Also, "Shift" dresses I'm sort of obsessed, which brings me to a last request. My sister "borrowed" the Loveappella button neck Shift dress from my 12th Fix. It was one of my absolute favorites Stitch Fix pieces! is there another one out there!?</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>MY STYLIST'S NOTE TO ME</b></span></div>
<div>
Hi Lili, I hope you are well in Knoxville! I saw that you had requested Layla for today's Fix, but unfortunately she was unavailable. I want you to know that I spent a lot of time reviewing your feedback and history with us (love your blog!) and picked some pieces for you today that you will just love! You mentioned that you were obsessed with shift dresses so I thought the Ivy + Blu dress would be perfect! The orange gives you a fun, fall pop if color! This dress would look great with the Echo scarf and a denim jacket. Throw on some ankle boots and your look is complete! You have both the RO Style poncho and the 41 Hawthorn sweater pinned to your board and I was able to find them for you today! Try then both with the jeans you kept back in September for two great fall looks! I can't wait to hear what you think! xo, Caroline</div>

I want to start by saying, I'm not a shopper. I think for several reasons, but highest on the list is that I'm just not good at it. The only time I really do it successfully is when I'm shopping with my adorably dressed friends. Back in the day, when I was a newly wed and a working' girl my sweet friend Caroline and I use to spend our lunch hour sifting through the sale racks at Ann Taylor Loft. She would pull the most random pieces from the rack and tell me to "Just try it on". I would and almost always it looked amazing. Those are some of my fondest memories of shopping. So when I read my stylists note and got to the bottom and saw her name was Caroline, well I sort of got a warm fuzzy feeling. I know she's out in California somewhere and she isn't my real Caroline, but for just a moment It was like I was 26 again, spending an hour with my friend. I TRUELY hope I get to keep her!</div>

This isn't the first time I've pinned something from Stitch Fix and when it shows up at my door is looks COMPLETELY different in person than it looked in the pin. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But I think that's the beauty of Stitch Fix. You can get it home, try it on, model it for your husband, who will bring you back down to earth from your "Box Day High" and tell you that what you're wearing looks like a blanket with buttons. Then, you can neatly fold that sucker up, stick it in the prepaid envelope, and SHIP IT BACK!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the beginning I use to feel bad sending things back. Like I was going to hurt my stylist's feelings if I didn't keep what she sent me. The thing is, 18 fixes later I realize, if I keep something I'm not in love with, I'm not doing either of us any favors. Let that be a lessen to you! If you aren't going to wear it! SEND IT BACK because when you do, I can almost guarantee your next fix will be better because your stylist learns from what you send back and the feedback you give. Moving on...</div>

So you noticed it too, another poncho, I was a little surprised too, but hey I guess it's poncho season. and they were both REALLY different looks and styles. While the first felt a little on the edgy side, this Moon Collection poncho was really preppy.</div>

Okay friends, Confession Time! I am a Stitch Fix "Peeker"!!! In fact as soon as I get my Stitch Fix shipment email I waste buckets of time combing the internet for the items in my box. The closest I could get prior to The Stitch Fix App was usually the basics; top, dress, etc. but no color or pattern specifics. BUT as I scoured the world wide web for this particular item I found NOTHING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I'm only keeping 3 pieces, I am so very happy with how Caroline styled me. I really think she did her homework noting my requests, my Pins, and my favorite colors and styles. I'd LOVE to have her style me again and again! This fix was really fun and one of my favorites so far! The IVY + BLU dress is probably one of my favorite pieces I've ever received in a fix and I've already worn the 41HAWTHORN sweater 2 times. Caroline you absolutely NAILED it and I can't wait to see what you come up with n my next fix!</div>

<b><i>What is Stitch Fix ?</i></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Stitch Fix Fans</b></span></div>
<div>
I think one of my favorite parts about Stitch Fix is the CRAZY loyal fan base it has. There are HUNDREDS of ladies out there that are recording their favorite Fix pieces on their blogs and You Tube channels. It's so much fun to see what everyone else is getting in their boxes and it helps me fill my Pinterest Style Board with clothes that I know Stitch Fix has in their inventory. On my "Stitch Fix Fun" tab above, I have a BUNCH of links to blogs I follow who post their recent Stitch Fix boxes but my all time favorite Stitch Fix blogger is Maria! She is completely adorable! She and her sweet husband Rob run the blog <a href="http://crazytogether.com/january-stitch-fix-review-giveaway-and-link-up/2/">"Crazy Together"</a>. Hop on over there and check out her 32nd Fix! I continue to be amazed at how cute she looks in everything her stylist sends.<br />

<div>
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>

<div>
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div>
<b></b></div>
<div>
<b><b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> </b>- Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</b></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Note To MyStylist</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month, for a couple of reasons I left my fix up to chance. I didn't make any specific requests. I'd seen so many adorable fall sweaters being posted on the StitchFix Facebook Page that I was sure this month would be a great month to just let things happen naturally...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said... This is the letter<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I WISH</span></b> I'd written to my Stitch Fix stylist!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Dear Stitch Fix Stylist, - Please send me some of the amazing sweaters, knit tops, and scarves and dresses I'm seeing up and down the Stitch Fix blog these days. Please look at my blog and Pinterest board for inspiration. And please oh please send me stuff I'm going to love and want to keep. With Love - Lili</span></b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But alas, I didn't send that note, so I have no one to blame but myself.</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Stylist's Note To Me</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear Lili, I really enjoyed styling this Fix for you! I spent a lot of time reading your feedback from your previous Fixes, and checking out your Pinterest -and I think you will love all of these pieces! Our Kamile dress from Gilli is a different silhouette than you've received before. Pair it with the Barboza jacket and add some long layered necklaces. I noticed you had our cold-shoulder trend pinned a few times- our grey and black version is great for date night with skinny jeans and boots. The pattern on our Ivy Blouse is fun, without being too young. Accessorize almost any outfit with this simple and beautiful silver bracelet. I'm looking forward to your feedback. Have fun trying everything on! -Kandida</div>

As you can see this is a super simple cuff bracelet. My first impression was that it was a definite keeper. I kept it on while trying everything on and taking photos and even with it pushed as small as it will go the cuff kept rolling around the wrong direction and getting caught on everything. So now I'm really rethinking keeping, even though the price is awesome!<br />

<b><i>What is Stitch Fix ?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>

One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> </b>- Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love some white as we move into fall, maybe a cable knit cozy sweater (<b>NOT ITCHY PLEASE</b>) I love the <a href="http://blog.stitchfix.com/10-fall-style-essentials/" target="_blank">SF Blog Post on the "10 Fall Style Essentials".</a> and am digging the White sweater, Suede dress, wide legged jeans, the print on the skirt would be perfect on pants and I pinned an amazing scarf! Getting excited about fall!</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Note From My Stylist</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Lili, Happy Fix Day! I had a great time styling you today and I hope that you like the Fall essentials that I was able to find for you The Dear John wide leg trouser is a great pant to wear with sweaters or blouses, pair with the RD Style white sweater and a heel for a fun look. The Fate Suede dress is great to wear with a legging and boot or pair with a heel and layer with a fun necklace for a great look, Wear the collective Concepts top with the jeans and layer with the Latte jacket which is another Fall must have. The cargo jacket is a great neutral and can be layered over anything or wear with a black jean and white shirt for a great layered look. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the scarf that you requested, but please ask for it again next fix. Let us know hoe things worked in this Fix and what you might light in your next Fix.<br />

When I pulled this jacket from the box I was a little confused. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's almost identical in color and style to the Market & Spruce Chaplin Hooded Anorak Cargo Jacket I received in Fix #10, just a little more structured, don't you think?</div>

SUPER WEIRD, RIGHT? Why would someone do this to such a beautiful sweater??!! I wish I knew how to sew r alter or something because there were so many things I liked about this sweater. For example. I LOVE the zipper detail on the sleeve and the length would have been perfect for leggings and riding boots.</div>

I love so much about this dress. The dropped waist line is so flattering. The material was amazing and somehow didn't wrinkle! Not sure how that works, but it's impressive! this dress was so incredibly soft! I couldn't stop "petting" the dress! The length was PERFECT! Unfortunately, the crew neck line is just too high!", like pioneer woman high.<br />

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">FINAL COMMENTS</span></b></div>
This Fix was a LOVE/HATE. The <b>HATE</b> was that she (or he) didn't appear to review my past fixes and sent something almost identical to a piece from fix 10. I wish I could have the same stylist each Fix. I wish that after 16 monthly fixes I was developing a "relationship" with my stylist <a href="http://kindercraze.com/">like this fellow Stitch Fixer</a> and that my fixes were getting better. That's not happening. My goal for each Fix is to keep all 5 pieces and take advantage of the discount. With a new stylist each fix it's just not possible because you're starting over every time. I <b>LOVE</b> that my stylist sent me a few of my requested items and I <b>LOVE</b> that some of the pieces are keepers!<br />
<br />
I just wanted to take a moment to say that I really do LOVE Stitch Fix. I definitely don't want my readers to get the wrong impression in my reviews. My goal in doing these reviews is to be completely honest about the process. I'd hate for someone to read this, sign up for Stitch Fix and think that every piece was a winner every time. That your stylist listened to and honored your every request. and the <b>inventory fairies</b> made it possible for the right size and colors to be available every time. That's just not the case, but that being said, it's still FUN! For a busy mama of 3 little ladies 5 and under it's awesome to be able to have beautiful clothes appear at my doorstep. Almost every time I wear a stitch Fix piece out someone comments on it and says how great it looks or asks where I got it. the styles and brands are so unique and are buys that I could only dream about purchasing "sans little ones" from a beautifully appointed boutique with a sign on the door reading <b>"NO STICKY CHILDREN ALLOWED!!!"</b><br />
<br />
I figured that the fact that I'm still receiving Fixes after almost a year and a half would speak for it's self, but just in case it doesn't, this is just <b>FOR THE RECORD</b>, I <b>LOVE</b> Stitch Fix and don't see myself slowing down any time soon. I<a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3752479">f you're thinking about it you should definitely give it a try,</a><br />

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Note To My Stylist</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Catie! With all the summer travel over with, this month, let's think "staple tops". Solid colors and either butterfly, short, or 3/4 sleeve. I've pinned a few like the Skies Are Blue Gwen and Topanga Crochet detail and the Brixon Ivy lace detail tops. I want tops that can be every day classics to dress up with slacks or dress down with jeans or shorts.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Lili, Catie was unable to style you for your fix this month so she asked me to help out (I'm also Katy). I read through your feedback and previous Fixes to find pieces I think you're going to love. You mentioned you were interested in solid colored tops as we head out of summer and into fall. I started with the Collective Concepts Crochet detail top in white. This is a great top to pair with your favorite jeans dress it up with a chic pencil skirt and the Pixley layering necklace. I also noticed some gauchos on your Pinterest board and thought you'd love the silhouette of the RO Style Culotte in black. These would be great to pair with the Skies Are Blue button down blouse in turquoise and some sleek black heels. I hope you enjoy your fix and I can't wait to hear what you think! Best Katy</div>

I wanted to LOVE these gauchos and I think it was really cool that my stylist picked up on this from my Pinterest board but the high waist was AWFUL! NOT attractive! Looked and felt like MOM JEANS!!! You'll see what I mean in the pictures below.</div>

As my stylist suggested I paired the RD STYLE Payton Culotte Pant with this blouse and the only thing I liked about it was the color. The fabric was course AND SEE THROUGH and the arms were super gaping! And see what I mean about the high waist line! Seriously, "Mom Jeans"! There's even an elastic waist band in there!</div>

This necklace is nice. It's sort of random and the stone color is really similar to the last necklace I received in fix#13. It is what I'm requesting; silver, statement peaces with color, but I found a very similar piece at at target for $18.</div>

The suggestion of tucking it into a pencil skirt was AWFUL! I'm not really a "tuck in" kind of girl, and I don't own a pencil skirt and don't really know what I'd do with one, but as you can see this blouse was just too bunchy to tuck in.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
See www.wanderinglili.blogspot.com for full review. This was a disappointing fix! I think it's just "luck" when you're switched to a new stylists! I really wanted some staple tops like the ones I've pinned and requested but didn't really get anything like what I requested. I do like the dress and the necklace, but it's a little disappointing because what I needed was tops. Better luck next time I guess.</div>

<b><i>What is Stitch Fix ?</i></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b></b></div>
<div>
<b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Buy All 5 Discount</span></b></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b></b></div>
<div>
<b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div>
<b></b></div>
<div>
<b><b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> </b>- Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</b></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>My Note To My Stylist</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Fix #14 I added the Frye Shirley Artisin riding boots to my closet, my pinterest cover photo, so I never thought I'd say this but I might need a pair of skinny jeans. I've also pinned several shift dress/riding boot combos as well as other riding boot styles I think would look amazing. Also look out for that Ruby maxi or like summer dresses.</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Stylist's Note To Me</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Lili! Thanks for updating your Pinterest board! Those Frye boots you got are super cute and hopefully will work with the Level 99 jeans included here.These jeans are super comfortable and perfect for any time of year. I've added them in a petite size for you (hopefully no hemming!) I've also included a tunic top like you requested.the Pixley tie waste tunic comes in a really lovely green that will really pop with your complection. I can't wait to see how they look on you from your blog! I saw that your last fix missed an opportunity to style you for your upcoming trip. the pixels dress included is awesome and will be be great for a date night with your husband. I know you were looking forward to the Ruby maxi. We unfortunately don't have it in at this time, but Ill keep and eye out! With Love, Catie</div>

This dress is so soft and the uneven hem line is a fun change! AND a s you'll see below, the price was AMAZING!!! One of the other unique details of this dress that I like were the rolled or twisted shoulder straps. Just a fun little detail that made the dress different.</div>

I LOVE the CUT of the straps; SUPER flattering I think, but the cut outs in the straps were a little young and I can predict that the gray color will likely show sweat on these hot southern days.</div>

Maybe a solid or softer color stripe or a geo print pattern would have helped. These are the times I wish I were more fashionable because I know this dress had potential. It was so form flattering! I think the right accessories could have helped, but I just didn't know how to style it and make it work. Hmmmmmmmmm....?</div>

Once again these jeans were ULTRA soft and had a great amount of stretch to them. I do have to let you know that there was a time, when I first filled out my style profile when I told my stylist "NO SKINNY JEANS" This is how much Stitch fix has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I actually REQUESTED a pair of skinny jeans. I bet Catie's jaw dropped when she read those words in my noet to her. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix packages just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>

There's something I've been meaning to share for quite some time... So while The hub is downstairs banging around in the garage building shelves and our 3 little ladies are snoozing down the hall, there's no time like the present to share. I have several friends that have just had babies or are expecting, so I hope this post is helpful.</div>
<div>

Those of you that know me personally know that I have a few talents. I'm a decent singer, in the car and shower. when there is time, I write, occasionally I craft, I make one of the worlds best eggplant parmesans, but in my little circle of friends what I am known for is...</div>

Initially, we thought E's ability to sleep was our Lord's bizarre brand of humor. </div>

We just figured that since she screamed all day long, God took it upon himself to grant her that supernatural ability to give her parents a full nights rest in order for us to prepare for and survive the next day. She slept through the night at 8 weeks. And when I say slept through the night I mean SLEPT!!! Like 10-12 hours on a regular basis.</div>

However, when MJ cruised through her first full nights sleep at 4 and a half weeks we had a feeling we were on to something.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then when Baby A followed in her big sister's footsteps, sleeping through the night at 3 weeks I felt a little bit more confident sharing a few of our baby sleep tips.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Note To Reader: I must preface this entire post by saying I'm not a baby sleep expert, and we have had our share of sleepless nights so please take these for what they are worth one mama (or papa) to the next... This is how we survived!</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to a sweet email with scheduling instructions from my dear friend Cozy that I STILL read whenever I need encouragement, we owe much of our sleep success to the following 3 things:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Top off and GOOD Burp</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Swaddle</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>and Technology: The Video Monitor and The Ocean </b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, as the title suggests, I'm going to dig into the 2nd, The Swaddle. We have our lovely model, Baby A assisting us in today's tutorial. She was about 9 months old in this pictures and we'd just switched her from the swaddled to the sleep sack.<br />
<br />
<b>You will need:</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 Baby </b><i>(for best results, twins should be swaddled separately... Ha ha!)</i></div>
</div>
<b>1 Swaddler</b> - We use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-SwaddleMe-Adjustable-Count/dp/B006XHO7CG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1434400790&sr=8-3&keywords=Summer+Infant+SwaddleMe+Small">Summer Infant Swaddle Me</a><br />
<b>1 Large Lightweight Swaddling Blanket </b>- Ours was a hand made gift, but these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-SwaddleMe-Blanket-Bananas/dp/B00794BOIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434400984&sr=8-1&keywords=Summer+Infant+Swaddle+blanket">Summer Infant Swaddle Blankets</a> are REALLY similar.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Blanket size in relationship to the baby. You can see it's a large blanket, but it's a pretty thin single layer light weight fleece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This blanket was a gift we received from our dear friend Lanier back when I was pregnant with E and has been well used and LOVED!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1: Lay blanket in the floor and fold down the top corner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBAxEezN6176zaLctdAaUQJs5bPP14GBcN__6JxbWF-E4_J9Ll080kSdKBuAqDSDAr3pjNePfSoZozVtQ1EnXdgaS2nDyu4eqt2Ju-H3BBP6yoMmjJSHZSR1v6k_x25cA7tBN6EGIiauc/s1600/IMG_4533.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBAxEezN6176zaLctdAaUQJs5bPP14GBcN__6JxbWF-E4_J9Ll080kSdKBuAqDSDAr3pjNePfSoZozVtQ1EnXdgaS2nDyu4eqt2Ju-H3BBP6yoMmjJSHZSR1v6k_x25cA7tBN6EGIiauc/s400/IMG_4533.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2: Lay swaddler on top lining up the top of the fold to the top of the swaddler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_cgkFtKD4WBXfHyDeCHuAAiCudWD3Ah0CfRk_PWGWaejt_BHtSrBkSOPEKhUAOgcfgtwyG2COA-g7gQVXXH9HKoMSfK7jOLYipq5g_gbJRnaQljL_A92mLlABtaT8mbUV5K-ZRerKmDU/s1600/IMG_4535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_cgkFtKD4WBXfHyDeCHuAAiCudWD3Ah0CfRk_PWGWaejt_BHtSrBkSOPEKhUAOgcfgtwyG2COA-g7gQVXXH9HKoMSfK7jOLYipq5g_gbJRnaQljL_A92mLlABtaT8mbUV5K-ZRerKmDU/s400/IMG_4535.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3: Put baby on top of the swaddler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiloBLORU7ydl_RVhe4kLwecYv55w_i4p317F12lBYORe2Os1LvfC_gN7UXj8IM7nmspy3a9jNPIZNiLh0xyETi0Dm2_wDH9feAvTsuV_W-fF1-nNyQ91AiU576wsvwvojYfB9zaq5VrvY/s1600/IMG_4536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiloBLORU7ydl_RVhe4kLwecYv55w_i4p317F12lBYORe2Os1LvfC_gN7UXj8IM7nmspy3a9jNPIZNiLh0xyETi0Dm2_wDH9feAvTsuV_W-fF1-nNyQ91AiU576wsvwvojYfB9zaq5VrvY/s400/IMG_4536.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4: Tuck feet into swaddler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzM4Q18Xgz4BjY5iBrV7mPDYuExdoVRCn712T2ohZ_b5mQNqOjyJCR9NxG_3c8ZEbie7P0_yU4_Y0080M-2orzn8IKCcJFNL_D6rEMFm8Z34SH4yJ1DtaJpYJ60sZBfyQDtmtUnOW_5Y/s1600/IMG_4537.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzM4Q18Xgz4BjY5iBrV7mPDYuExdoVRCn712T2ohZ_b5mQNqOjyJCR9NxG_3c8ZEbie7P0_yU4_Y0080M-2orzn8IKCcJFNL_D6rEMFm8Z34SH4yJ1DtaJpYJ60sZBfyQDtmtUnOW_5Y/s400/IMG_4537.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5: Lay baby's arms at her side and TIGHTLY wrap swaddler from left to right around her and tuck extra behind her back, like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilMZ32dgFtSlXn8KYLBxGl3E54E2mSUuj6mMUGLmEdMHBMeSOlonR3-S9SymnLtO-U0NkivdUCO7l1c9T-7-LC2mN0iGbE-XZVQk9p9acvIqGzIIfEfmkgbnYR6i8WDg7JqP4nTaRX8w4/s1600/IMG_4538.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilMZ32dgFtSlXn8KYLBxGl3E54E2mSUuj6mMUGLmEdMHBMeSOlonR3-S9SymnLtO-U0NkivdUCO7l1c9T-7-LC2mN0iGbE-XZVQk9p9acvIqGzIIfEfmkgbnYR6i8WDg7JqP4nTaRX8w4/s400/IMG_4538.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See arms and hands are still by her side. This is one of the trickier parts because the more wiggly your baby is the harder it is to keep those crazy arms inside, but DON't be tempted to let them roam free. The reason this works is because those wild hands and arms have a tendency to explore while baby is sleeping, and the moment those chubby little kissable hands touch baby's face...<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>***POOF***</i></b></span><br />
The sleep spell is broken! <b>So WRAP 'EM UP TIGHT!!!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Bgn5Hu-V7fz6nxKvbVJFzVOQrUEKTfqZdxVypph0qGK6bsOVa3QL7Ws9ATLKX7xu9RnkRT_ND2dvyUtQyjkLZPpClPbXPSN54vnDCrYXS-tNYGxkjKKkpo9rN1mXY1cYK39SlSfOyWs/s1600/IMG_4539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Bgn5Hu-V7fz6nxKvbVJFzVOQrUEKTfqZdxVypph0qGK6bsOVa3QL7Ws9ATLKX7xu9RnkRT_ND2dvyUtQyjkLZPpClPbXPSN54vnDCrYXS-tNYGxkjKKkpo9rN1mXY1cYK39SlSfOyWs/s400/IMG_4539.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are velcro sections that will be close to touching. Don't worry if they don't line up exactly. Just be sure at lease a little bit is connected</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifv3H1yaz7wjTqdLHZ1QthVKWt9V3RjYlujG25e7hqrZD_OI99usXJPel8pl6n9XooAjWFvcdRctDZRHQDB5E4pRwA0lSUDAg8aQP6nDvUvb19_BeISMu03M_K8AJaxdCJVQ93yht1R_s/s1600/IMG_4540.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifv3H1yaz7wjTqdLHZ1QthVKWt9V3RjYlujG25e7hqrZD_OI99usXJPel8pl6n9XooAjWFvcdRctDZRHQDB5E4pRwA0lSUDAg8aQP6nDvUvb19_BeISMu03M_K8AJaxdCJVQ93yht1R_s/s400/IMG_4540.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 6: Pull the right side of the swaddler back around to the left and catch the velcro on this side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVSw2GIEjTs-t4sISgFB3gSUAcYB50TK0v2U5-MQWXp4a7OVcIcB4rbAJKQGWE9PdR9rFvAdCQdzFu8Z6fBmOo9Khu07rYHqsWyi4rw6GYVr3kjg-nYO5N9kghgzc9SImKtlX0r3V6y8/s1600/IMG_4541.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVSw2GIEjTs-t4sISgFB3gSUAcYB50TK0v2U5-MQWXp4a7OVcIcB4rbAJKQGWE9PdR9rFvAdCQdzFu8Z6fBmOo9Khu07rYHqsWyi4rw6GYVr3kjg-nYO5N9kghgzc9SImKtlX0r3V6y8/s400/IMG_4541.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's the inner swaddle. It should be super tight and it might take some practice. Now onto the "secret" outer swaddle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 7: Take the left corner of the lightweight blanket and wrap it around the baby from left to right, like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmXJ20G0GjTGoQz3p6R7aRBZomwxPJEI02N1LuJRTKoJV3sr8APFnv2fCbrMfl4JS5MJb_sazvYRgAOq_uLPRqu__7-F7BzDI1K0JpF5xpKzl0QV8hO4Lq-AHpIVzN8o_8cTADc8evCo/s1600/IMG_4542.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmXJ20G0GjTGoQz3p6R7aRBZomwxPJEI02N1LuJRTKoJV3sr8APFnv2fCbrMfl4JS5MJb_sazvYRgAOq_uLPRqu__7-F7BzDI1K0JpF5xpKzl0QV8hO4Lq-AHpIVzN8o_8cTADc8evCo/s400/IMG_4542.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuck the extra blanket flat around and behind baby, like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbwzfPgh8FCud1Lrq725wdcvThxzisUjrGtnEISLThxJwCkWT_oyMVD_4jOMESpqROQyfwgkeFIipAKb1fl7jomrwEUXK1Yq3NYN0j31_CuymmQNVp6EhHriIhEqr-EGn-rwO3tIIJPM/s1600/IMG_4543.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbwzfPgh8FCud1Lrq725wdcvThxzisUjrGtnEISLThxJwCkWT_oyMVD_4jOMESpqROQyfwgkeFIipAKb1fl7jomrwEUXK1Yq3NYN0j31_CuymmQNVp6EhHriIhEqr-EGn-rwO3tIIJPM/s400/IMG_4543.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It should look smooth and flat. The fewer wrinkles in the blanket the more secure the swaddle and the lower the chances of escape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV-rYgaPmW1EdXU4Zsaf8jSFG3fj7WQIqcLNP8nFPtZG7jYjXtotY0ycaCult8LSSBA9feDJc0wLhwadxHIat2f18xxuYCuW_W2USVxASB99-AL09Bhm95vMdXE6ZVK_GolfThEwk0JoI/s1600/IMG_4544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV-rYgaPmW1EdXU4Zsaf8jSFG3fj7WQIqcLNP8nFPtZG7jYjXtotY0ycaCult8LSSBA9feDJc0wLhwadxHIat2f18xxuYCuW_W2USVxASB99-AL09Bhm95vMdXE6ZVK_GolfThEwk0JoI/s400/IMG_4544.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'll close this post by letting you know that EVEN TODAY, although we no longer swaddle them, our children (ages 16 m/o, 3 y/o, and 5 y/o) STILL sleep through most nights and they nap. This may sound bizarre but sleep is SUPER important in our house for EVERYONE's sanity and well being. We don't do "quiet time" or "rest time". Between the hours of 2:00 and 4:30pm and you're under the age of 7 (and sometimes older, depending on your attitude) you're taking a nap!<br />
<br />
Do you have any great baby sleep tips? post them in the comments below.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><i>HAPPY SWADDLING!!!</i></span><br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />
Bon Voyage!</div>

Hi Catie! I've updated my Pinterest board to help you. The lace Maxi dress that's my cover image really is my anniversary trip "inspiration picture". As we prepare for this trip, it's okay to get a little more "date night", and highlight my back and shoulders a little more than normal. Keep in mind I LOVE the clean and free spirit look of that lace maxi and The Hub's fav "date night" color is red.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQfZkMdRVdwhWNHUwm58vFQMQvlcrd4akm5h_QpNuN3XbdXB939iE0ti4K2OLxvzqJTwbwGlYbHTIlkRZLwjNOJlXoVhwn8VmmK_vFeT2YiGX3LICIUZDY1m62W1y97j8U5ACuLV93YU/s1600/FullSizeRender+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQfZkMdRVdwhWNHUwm58vFQMQvlcrd4akm5h_QpNuN3XbdXB939iE0ti4K2OLxvzqJTwbwGlYbHTIlkRZLwjNOJlXoVhwn8VmmK_vFeT2YiGX3LICIUZDY1m62W1y97j8U5ACuLV93YU/s400/FullSizeRender+2.jpg" /></a></div>

Hi Lili, I'm so excited to be styling you today! I'm sorry, your stylist, Catie is taking vacation, therefore I hope you enjoy your Fix #13! The Kut From The Kloth jeans have a great stretch and will look amazing with your 41 Hawthorn coral top. Another cute option is your Market & Spruce teal green wrap dress that is comfortable yet super flattering. Enjoy this beautiful Papermoom navy maxi dress. You can dress it up with your Zad necklace and you are ready for your day! Have fun trying on your pieces. I can't wait to read your feedback! Martina.</div>

This Necklace was perfect! The stones weren't too big and I really love the color! It isn't one I traditionally gravitate toward. I also love the layering look! it really will be a great way to add a little something special to any neutral outfit.</div>

Initially, I was on the fence with this top. I don't really care for the little flair in the sleeve but I LOVE the softness of the fabric and I think it's flattering and would be a good "staple" piece. </div>

I may kick myself later for sending these back but really want to LOVE my clothes and to be more specific, my jeans. The one disappointing thing about these jeans was the serious "gaping" at the back. I've heard the J Brand jeans don't gap. but if anyone else has suggestions for real "non-gapping" jeans. Please let me know!</div>

As with most jeans, they were a little too long and the waste was a little too high. And although the price was fantastic, the reason I decided to send these back is I just purchased a pair of jeans from Old Navy and I honestly think these jeans don't look any better than those jeans and I didn't have to have them altered.</div>

My other issue is the top was stretched out, sort of like it had been tried on or worn by a big chested girl. It just didn't feel new? This was the first time I've gotten something from Stitch Fix that felt USED! it's a MAJOR quality concern!</div>

I really thought it was coming my way! This dress doesn't even compare! This is sort of an across the boart frustration with Stitch Fix. I see all the cute Stitch Fix dresses on blogs and Pinterest; Ruby, Theodore, Alycia, Lyra, and Beatrix just to name a few beautiful ladies on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/wanderinglili/my-style/">my Pinterest Style board</a>) and not receive any of them. </div>

This fix was kind of disappointing. I know she wasn't my "normal stylist", but I'm not sure if she even read my "requests". There was nothing even remotely "date night"ish in this fix. These dresses were more for church or work. AND there wasn't a single stitch of red!</div>

<b><i>What is Stitch Fix ?</i></b></div>
</b><b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix package just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Buy All 5 Discount</span></b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> </b>- Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</div>

1st, I'd love to stick with Catie as my stylist please! This month I'd like some peaces for an Easter outfit (maybe pants or skirt, blouse, necklace, earrings, & cardigan or Dress, necklace/scarf, earrings, & cardigan). For each piece, think "spring" and "color", but at the same time keep them classic pieces that will function individually. I've pinned a picture of the dress my 3 daughters (4,3, & 1) will be wearing so you have an idea of color (pleated dress with blue and yellow butterflies). I've pinned a bunch of new items, but some of my faves are the Bellatrix Embroidered Detail Dress by Ark n Co, & the gray Martini Devin Lace Detail Maxi Dress<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2e2f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again, Lili! Thank you for posting the great pictures on your blog! I love seeing how the items work for you. I'm so glad you loved the utility jacket. I loved seeing how you styled it with skinny jeans and your Hunter boots! I also checked out all the new pins on Pinterest and scoped out the adorable dress for your daughters! I've added some amazing dresses for Easter. I can't wait to see how they look on you! The Mckinley dress is great for coordinating with your daughters. It has little birds on it, and the mix of blues are so beautiful. Try it with the necklace included for a pop of bright orange for a fun mix. The Kailani lace dress is so gorgeous. The light lilac soft and feminine. With Love Catie<br />

I LOVE that my stylist payed attention to my style profile when I said I LOVE orange! Thank you! That said, this piece although beautiful was just too big and busy for me.</div>
<div>
I'm pretty tiny so although I love the look of "chunky" jewelry and wish I could pull it off, it really has to be smaller so I'm not walking around looking and feeling like Cleopatra. </div>

Let me start by saying this dress is BEAUTIFUL and really fit PERFECTLY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
However, it is the second most expensive Stitch Fix piece I have received thus far the most expensive were those Level 99 Jeans pictured above and I wear them at least twice a week. This gorgeous, yet pricey dress I'd would probably only wear to weddings (which I RARELY go to) or somewhere far from dirty, sticky kid fingers. With 3 LITTLE ones I just don't know if I'd enjoy wearing it for fear those little hands would ruin it.</div>

From the moment I pulled this cutie out of the box I knew I'd LOVE IT!!! This skirt is GREAT! it's something I can dress up or down and will be great for summer and I love that it has more color! Now I just wish I had a top to go with it! But I found this old navy tank and flip flops, and paired it with this Marilyn Schiff Nanette Pave Circle Pendant Necklace.</div>

(My mail lady actually hand delivered one of my Stitch Fix package just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>

<b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience.

"MORE dresses PLEASE!!! The Illina Crochet Detail Dress, the Bellatrix 3/4 Sleeve Chevron Print Shift Dress, & Martini Devin Lace Detail Maxi Dress are 3 favs I've pinned. A pair of Malin Bootcut Jeans, hope they look as good on me as they do on the girl in my pin! A unique everyday top, I pinned the Lydia keyhole blouse.

Hi again Lili! Wahooo I'm so glad you LOVED the items from the previous fix! Thank you for updating your Pinterest board and including some great new ideas. :) I saw you pinned our Market & Spruce Cargo Jacket and I've included it for you. This is a great layer for spring right around the corner. Let us know what you think of it. We don't have the Lydia keyhole blouse in but I will keep my eye open for you. We did have a similar style in a in a very sweet print. The Gilli Sina Maxi Dress is amazing and I instantly thought of you with your casual surffer girl look. It may be a little long. Let me know what you think. I've also added a classic striped dress (similar to the Bellatrix Dress you requested). That would look amazing with your new denim Jacket. Have a blast trying these on! With Love, Catie<br />

<b>NOTE TO READER<span style="color: #3d85c6;">: </span></b>First of all I must confess that I "peeked" at my fix. This is a little trick I figured out after Fix #4. As much as I say I love surprises, the reality is I don't much care for them in shopping. The build up is so great that my poor stylist doesn't have a chance. The problem is that I watch my Favorite Stitch Fix blog reviews and I see all the amazing things they are getting in their fixes and somehow, I felt mine weren't nearly as cute or flattering. It was a real let down, so I figured out that you can click the "check out" link after your package ships, but before it arrives and you'll get a text discription of whats in your box. If you Google the names of each item with the word "image" after it you'll get a good idea (with the exception of color) of what's in your box. And to be completely honest, this time around, even after taking a sneak peek, I was actually a little nervous that I wouldn't like anything in this month's Fix.</div>

So to start, this dress is SUPER light weight, like "you feel a little naked wearing it in the winter" light but that will be great for the spring and summer. My biggest concern about this dress is the fabric. Even though it's a wash cold, lay flat to dry laundry routine, it feels like it's going to pill.</div>

In theory this dress is great! The geometric pattern has a lot of color and it doesn't look like curtains. But what you can't tell from the picture is that while the top half of the dress is jersey cotton and really comfortable, the lower half of the dress is a stretchy, synthetic material feels like Lycra. I received a Gilli Maxi skirt in Fix #6 that was made of a really similar material and while it has a lot of stretch, it just doesn't have a lot of "flow" or "give" while walking.</div>

And second, the hearts... I think my 3 and 4 year old daughters have fleece hoodie versions of this shirt with EXACTLY the same print. While I think hearts may work on Valentines Day it really is a bit "young" for every day. Even if it were polka dots or a simple flower pattern, that would have been MILES better. I just can't justify spending $64 on a shirt I'll wear once a year. SIGH!!! I LOVE everything else about this blouse!<br />

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered my last Stitch Fix package just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to Stitch Fix.com and buy what you like and return the rest. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Buy All 5 Discount</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7653334-11713107">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake Stitch Fix founder and CEO </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like."</i> </b>- Q&;A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</div>

"Hi Lili! I hope you've been doing great! I had so much fun styling you again? Thanks for the amazing feedback and for updating your Pinterest board. I saw you added some awesome pins!I wasn't able to pull the Liverpool Jalie dinem jacket but I did pull a super similar style that is amazing. It is a great wash to pair with your favorites! Let me know what you think. I also added some awesome dresses like you requested. The Pixleydress is awesome. The sleeves are flattering and the print is classic. The C. Luce dress is so cute and will look amazing paired with the dinem jacket. Add the necklace included for the perfect touch of shine? Have so much fun trying these on at home? With love Catie"</div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1. Mavi Kalie Denim Jacket - </span></b>I was so excited to see this in my Fix. Since cutting the tags, I've pretty much worn it everywhere: church, the mall, to my daughter's school. It fits well over long or 3/4 sleeves without bunching which is the true test and its super easy to move around in. When I showed it to The Hub for the first time he said "you got a jean jacket?" Total 80s flashback, but in truth, even as a child of the 80s this cutie is my FIRST "jean" or denim jacket and I love it!</div>

I sort of feel like a Kennedy when I have it on. But I was surprised, although I really like this dress I expected others to like it more than they did. It was everyone's least favorite dress.</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold;">4. 41Hawthorn Renesne Geo Cube Print Faux Wrap Dress.</span> - I REALLY fell in love with this dress. I knew that with such a simple print it would be perfect for what I was looking for. also after wearing it to church and out to lunch it maintained it's shape. So often with wrap dresses they stretch and the tie loosens throughout the day. because this was a FAUX wrap dress I didn't have those problems.</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How Does It Work</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is FANTASTICALLY EASY! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/faq">The Stitch Fix Q&A page</a> does a GREAT job explaining everything but the basics are... Fill out your Style Profile. Pick the date you’d like to receive your shipment. you'll pay a $20 styling fee before each fix which is applied to anything you purchase. Your "Fix" will arrive on your doorstep. (My mail lady actually hand delivered my last <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3752479">Stitch Fix</a> package just so she could ask me what it was.) Once you have your package in hand, try everything on in the comfort of your home (you have 3 days). After you've had time to try everything on and see how each piece will work you log on to <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3752479">Stitch Fix.com</a> and buy what you like and return the rest in the prepaid USP soft pack bag included in your shipment box. You’re only charged for the items you keep when you let them know what you’re keeping and returning at Check Out. **DON'T FORGET*** The $20 styling fee will be applied toward any items you purchase. Also, ALL Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Buy All 5 Discount</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3752479">Stitch Fix</a> is that if you choose to purchase all of the clothes in your fix, your order is automatically discounted 25%. Since I bought all of the clothes in my fix, I saved $81.00! The fix cost me $243.00 instead of $344 (which would have been the price without a discount.) This is the third time I've kept my entire fix. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get "Pinning"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Katrina Lake <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3752479">Stitch Fix</a> founder and CEO </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Pinterest is by far the most helpful. It's super interesting, and there's a lot of overlap with our audience. Even if you have nothing about fashion on your Pinterest board, you can learn so much by what people are pinning on their decor boards or DIY boards. It gives you a peek into what someone's life is like." - Q&A interview by Dana Hull, with the San Jose Mercury News</div>

E's 3rd birthday celebration ended up going not quite according to plan. A stomach bug swept through our house the day before her planned birthday celebration at a local Baltimore indoor playground. We waited until the last possible moment hoping the sickness would pass quickly, but no such luck. the "official party was cancelled and we spend the Friday before her 3rd birthday at home in bed. BUT... 5 short days later on her actual birthday the celebrating began. We lined up our favorite babysitter for MJ. Then E and Mama and Daddy had a special day together.</div>

The 2nd and equally wonderful part about E's 4th birthday was that Aunt Zana (My younger sister sister) was was visiting! This was actually the first birthday party we've gotten to share with family. She was so wonderful and an awesome help. Picking up food and the cake and keeping me level. She also took pictures and pretty much did anything I asked of her! Love her and miss her so so much!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a baby!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't express to you how much I loge this little girl. I think that's part of the reason it's taken me so long to post. (That and the logistics of having 3 children 3 and under.) There aren't words that can express to you how much I am in love with every tiny part of her, but my good friend <a href="http://sabbespot.blogspot.com/2013/05/i-love-him.html">Stephanie </a>came VERY close to saying it perfectly so I'll borrow a little from her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was pregnant, I was genuinely nervous about being able to love this 3rd baby, as much as I love her big sisters. In my mind I felt like I'd have to split my love for them and give this new baby his or her portion. I was terrified that there wouldn't enough love or me to go around. But it's a funny thing, Love. The moment this sweet little girl entered the world, my heart, and capacity to love grew. I feel as though the size of my heart has grown! "...Sometimes it feels like it might just explode"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So although there is so much to catch you up on on this neglected, wandering blog. I figured this really couldn't wait any longer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, once again the "turkey is fully cooked". I am 39 weeks pregnant and have done absolutely ZERO documentation of this pregnancy on the Blog. So, today I'll play a little bit of catch up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are my "STATS"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NOTE: I filled this out at 27 weeks (Blue) and 37 weeks (Pink) so I'll include both.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How far along? </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">27 Weeks</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> / </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">37 Weeks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Total weight gain/loss: </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9 lbs</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> / </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">18 lbs</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maternity clothes?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Yes for shirts and pants, although I'm seriously not liking the way ANY pants are fitting. I do have a few pairs of Gap size 4 Curvy jeans that are low enough to accommodate baby and are SUPER comfy but I think this baby is sitting lower and they aren't super comfortable when sitting. </span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-YES! I spend most days in PJs but when I go out I rotate between a few tops and for pants, I wear leggings and one specific pair of maternity jeans.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stretch marks? </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">/ </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sleep:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Not bad. I usually don't have any trouble falling asleep, but a few nights a week I wake up at 3am and for one reason or another, I can't get back to sleep. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-NOT so good. Usually get one good night a week</span></div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Working out:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-1 or 2 times a week I do a Perfect Pregnancy strength or Perfect Pregnancy yoga DVD and depending on the weather we walk 2 or 3 miles, once or twice on the weekend not as much much as I'd like. I am still toddler wrangling x2 and that could be considered "working out".</span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Pretty much nothing at this point unless you'd count reaching down to tie my shoes, walking up and down the stairs a few times a day and carrying children out to and in from the car so they don't get NASTY in the snow.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Smiles are FREE - Ann Arbor, MI. - January 2013<div style="text-align: center;">
As we approach her 2nd birthday in a little less than two months I find myself reflecting on something my Dad said over Christmas. "I just love MJ's smile and how freely she shares it".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpNejJ8ulB9k9CPnMGZW31yURAG38lfktYVbJJid0bkqRpuewJPvra8yhM7PYBX5t-IOP6EQHLqmX7vT8yerLQeYODTqiumnoTzqZrqe5QGte_362wMeh5Mgi8DYNKEPmCGhmWm1iBjg/s1600/IMG_5592.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpNejJ8ulB9k9CPnMGZW31yURAG38lfktYVbJJid0bkqRpuewJPvra8yhM7PYBX5t-IOP6EQHLqmX7vT8yerLQeYODTqiumnoTzqZrqe5QGte_362wMeh5Mgi8DYNKEPmCGhmWm1iBjg/s400/IMG_5592.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little lady and her absolutely adorable and unique little smile (which I fear will change when her last 8 teeth arrive) has been lighting our days since the moment she joined our family. She is sweet and fiery and about as sensitive as a person could be. Her big sister is her best friend and most favorite porson in the world. Regardless of how many times she is pushed or the toy she's playing with is taken, "shared", she seeks E's approval, affection, and attention. In the last few months she has been asking to sit on the Potty whenever E does and when she's successful she looks to E to tell her "good job MJ".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is fiery and has started fighting for what she wants, toys, the crusts off her grilled cheese, and the coveted spot on Daddy's lap after a long day of play</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
With both of our girls, this has been a super fun age where we are tickled at her words and funny phrases:</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I can't want that"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm the stinky one"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Look at my fat belly"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Look at YOUR fat belly"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think most of all we adore her "I love you's. They are unsolicited and sweet and usually either whispered softly or shouted in the the chorus of a made up song.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When MJ was just learning to crawl, and far before the thought of an actual "Mini Sticks" had been discussed, a good friend of mine told me that our littlest lady had the personality of a "middle child". I am a middle child and my prayer for this beautiful little one over the next year is that she never feels lost or left out as the middle child. I pray we cultivate these beautiful smiles that are so freely given </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
...and as with her big sister, I pray we give her grace as she learns so much over this next year. I pray we are able to keep her safe, and teach her to be obedient, respectful, and honest, and above all to love the Lord!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Till next time,</div>

Today, as I pack up the Christmas decorations, take down the tree, and vacuum the billion pine needles that are making my house smell delicious, my sweet and tough and challenging, and beautiful big girl found this "box of stars".</div>

So we're sitting, enjoying what I'd call one of the "quieter moments" in our house, listening to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Fairies-Faith-Trust-Pixie/dp/B008ZD4MWQ/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1">Fairy Songs</a> as she plays with "stars" and tells me all the reasons she is both a "Big girl" and a "little girl" all at the same time.</div>

Moments like this, with her, warm my heart, because over the last 6 months our relationship has been hard. I know that the driving force behind it is that we are so incredibly alike.</div>

One of my biggest prayers for this new year is that I am able to grow into my role as her mother, Help her to know that she is so incredibly LOVED even when she is in trouble, give her grace, keep her safe, teach her to be obedient, respectful, and honest, and above all to love the Lord!</div>

Welcome back. Almost 4 months without a post and I really don't have much of an excuse. I will say there has been time, but these days sleep overcomes me in the moments that are quiet. As it often does, life has taken us lots of places this fall and winter so I thought I'd share a little bit of what we are "currently" up to before I attempt to plat MASSIVE catch up before Mini Sticks arrives.</div>

So, let's pick up where we left off. After 6 days of eating out and primitively entertaining our little ladies, the Allied Van Lines truck arrived in front of our new house. After a quick McDonaldd breakfast they set to work Preparing the house.</div>

If you're interested in connecting with Allied van Lines to get your next move quoted we HIGHLY recommend them! We've worked with Mitzi Lyne, our move coordinator a few times and had several friends work with her as well. Her information is below. We don't get any credit or discounts for referals but having moved as much as we have a good moving company is a HUGE comfort when everything in your life is being relocated. Also if you have any questions about the process please ask me in the comments below.</div>

In many ways it was hard to watch someone handling your stuff because in your head you feel you'd take more time and be more careful and organized. The truth of it is you can put a lot of effort in on the front to make things more organized for them to pack which will make unpacking a lot easier on you.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be COMPLETELY honest I did NOTHING to prepare for the move except organize the girls toys, give a few things away and pack our "go bags", and when everything was unpacked, there were only 4 casualties. Our steam cleaner sustained very minor damage, and the glass in a picture frame was broken. 3 and 4 were actually my fault. I left the batteries in our 2 hands free soap dispensers. Needless to say, they emptied themselves throughout their journey. Oh well!!!<br />
<br />
All the packing information told us that things would be packed "as is" unless there were instructions given ahead of time. As you can see, I'm not torn up about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's taken a while to get this entire story up but I promise there is good reason. we've had a lot of d.i.y. projects going on that have kept us all very busy. Those stories and more are coming soon. Love you all and thanks so much for sticking with us and keeping us in your prayers throughout this transition. If you can believe it, we've already started planning the next move. We're like the Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade around here, in more ways than one!</div>

Till next time,</div>

Welcome back! If you're just joining the party you can check out:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of people think the hardest part about of moving is the heavy lifting. They're right! However, when traveling and moving with little ones there are lots of challenges. We've learned that how you frame the situation makes all the difference. All around, this move was stressful, but really a lot of fun and it was cool to see the creativity emerge when we took away the TV and noisy toys, both children and adult. Lots of time for family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The drive time between Baltimore and Ann Arbor is just over 8 hours for 2 adults that's nothing at all, but add 2 SUVs, 2 kids, 2 cats, and 2 fish and it gets a little more interesting. We gave a lot of thought to us all riding together and towing the smaller of our 2 vehicles, but when it we decided to buy walkie talkies and drive separately I mean how could I turn down the Hub's offer to give me 9 kid free hours of listening to music, uninterrupted audio books, and I did't have to share my snacks with ANYONE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was me, the cats and the fish in the little truck. Then the Hub and the girls in "Daddy's BIG truck". The decision to put the girls with the Hub was a few layers deep. First, in general, our girls behave WAY better for their daddy. THIS is a mystery to me that I'm sure I will NEVER completely understand. The second reason is that the Hub's truck has GIANT tires and the noise that they make on the road completely puts them to sleep. I have to admit, THAT was the Hub's idea and he was absolutely right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The most challenging part about using professional packers and movers is that you don't move with your stuff. The company we use gave us a 4-6 day window for delivery. and because of the geographic makeup of our moving teams load schedule it took the full 6 days to receive our belongings. That being said, we had a lot of time on our hands to keep our little ladies busy and with no furniture and a VERY limited supply of toys we had to get creative.</div>

I have to be completely honest, THe Hub and I have been married almost 8 years and very early on we discovered that as a couple, the act of physically moving our belongings across the country is NOT good for our marriage. After the first move, just 2 weeks after our wedding, it really bothered me that our first real "TEST" didn't go so well. What should have been an uneventful, 8 hour drive across the state of Tennessee turned into 12 hours of un-airconditioned hell for the Hub who was driving the largest U-haul known to man and towing his car, as I followed im in my 10 year old car with NO AC and a particularly disagreeable disposition when it cam to climbing the "Hills of Tennessee". I think the nice way to describe that trip was "character building". As we laid down that evening, exhausted by what we'd just endured and dreading the day of unloading that lay ahead of us, we promised each other we'd set aside $50 a month for the next four years and that money would pay for professional movers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Four years later we did just that. After being home for a month and packing all of our stuff into free moving boxes we sat back a and watched 3 men load every single one of our belongings (minus the cats, a television and clothes to last until our furniture arrived). Then, 3 days later, we watched 3 men carry every thing we owned up 3 flights of steps to where we would call home for the next four years. That evening we decided to up the ante What if we set aside $100 a month for the next four years? That would pay for people to pack our stuff AND carry it back down all those steps AND drive it across the country AND once again unload it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here we are four years later and you ask, "Lili, what's kept you away so long?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been moving a house... Well not ME technically, but A house has been moved under my supervision which can sometimes be more difficult than moving it yourself... Minus the packing, and lifting, and going up and down all those steps, and making everything fit into the truck... Hmmm... when you put it like thatI really haven't done much of anything over this last month!</div>

Well I think it's about time I get back to life as usual. I have a few posts in the works that will tell the story of the move, but today I just want to talk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our 3rd big move and there are at least 2 more in the next 3 years. With each move comes a better understanding of how we work as a couple. What we can take on and what we can give up or let someone else do. Moving with children has definitely impacted the decisions we make for our little family, and as a whole, each move has been a great improvement on the last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, that's not what I want to talk about today. For me , moving is a frightening thing. I hate it, but at the same time, I LOVE it! Moving forces me to be BRAVE, which is something I do not come by naturally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, as I loaded the girls into the car to find Sam's Club for the first time, E asked me it we were "going to Mrs. Katie's house?" I clicked her seat belt and swallowed hard. "Nope, we're not we're going to Mrs Katie's" . She was quiet for just a moment and said, "okay, well when will we go again?" "A while", I told her, it will be a while before we see them again. "Oh", she said, softly. I closed the car door and readied myself for the questions I knew were coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the short time it took us to drive there she asked about every one of her Baltimore friends, even ones that were only there for a short time, and each time I told her that I wasn't sure when we'd see them again, but I knew it would be a while. Each time she responded softly, "oh".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With each child she asked about I thought of that little one's mama, and then I thought about the wonderful friends we said goodbye to just 4 short years ago when we left Memphis. and then before that when we left Knoxville. I sometimes feel like our life has been a long series of hello"s and "goodbye's, but now we aren't the only ones saying "hello" and "goodbye".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8KehThh-klv4oY0QIzoBmvTknVA3lD5S2GqUeHNAogM_NFJNbYvl0WyaVpSrVyQqTXUY_MjFsmkni-IIs5mijTyKuH9V8YAE7MsViWg_ERiWff9Jy8NYfRKaBlULBhfhpd7GlxHM064/s1600/IMG_4967.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8KehThh-klv4oY0QIzoBmvTknVA3lD5S2GqUeHNAogM_NFJNbYvl0WyaVpSrVyQqTXUY_MjFsmkni-IIs5mijTyKuH9V8YAE7MsViWg_ERiWff9Jy8NYfRKaBlULBhfhpd7GlxHM064/s400/IMG_4967.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are starting to notice and feel the changes that are happening around them and they see when I am afraid and they know when I am brave. SO, now more than ever, I want to be BRAVE. I want to make friends, even though we will only be here a year. I want to find my favorite stores, even though we will only be here a year. I will show them it is okay to CRAZY LOVE people even if you may never see them again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have NEVER been the most popular kid. there is an awkward and rejected 14 year old girl just under the surface and making friends, even now, at 33 years old, is one of the most terrifying things in life. So, to all the friends I have said "hello" to and then "goodbye", Thank you for loving me and allowing me to love you in return. I truly hope to see you again soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Baltimore is home to the 2nd jewel of the Triple Crown horse races, The Preakness. Each year, in the 3 days preceding the Preakness, Pimlico Race Course hosts a free event called <a href="http://www.preakness.com/visitors-guide/events/5/Sunrise%20at%20Old%20Hilltop">Sunrise at Old Hilltop</a>. For the last couple of years the girls and I have enjoyed a morning of fun as we explore Pimlico and take part in this Baltimore tradition.</div>
