It fit


I had my measurements taken for a bridesmaid's dress yesterday and it got me thinking about the other formal gowns I've worn in my life. I pulled three of them out of the basement tonight to see if they'd fit. One of them was awful number:

My junior prom dress. 1994 was NOT a good year for prom dresses.
Not at all.


My date and I went to Chuck E Cheese before dinner and a little girl came up to me and asked me if I was Cinderella. I think if Prince Charming saw Cinderella show up with these puffy sleeves and pearls strung across her back (and did I mention a big bow?) he'd have RUN AWAY AS FAST AS HE COULD!!!!



What did your prom dress look like? Are you brave enough to share a picture of it?




Oh...and yes, the dresses all fit.

One from 1994, another from 1996, and the final one from 2000. Crazy because my weight has fluctuated 30 pounds over the past 15 years. Currently I sit at the same weight as I was in 8th grade. Sorry, no pictures of tight rolled pants are going to be shown on this blog anytime soon!

  1. Whoa! Them are some mighty fine shoulders. :) I've often wondered if I'd fit in my wedding dress, but I don't wanna take it back in to get cleaned. :) I have posted some prom pictures from 1994 on Facebook, but not on the blog yet. :) You are a bit braver than me. :)

  3. I am so jealous that yours fit! Mine arent terribly bad, circa 1999, but man, I was sunburned to all holy heck (blistered face even) for my prom... yowzers! The pictures arent pretty. Oh and my junior prom, circa 1998, I broke, no, shattered my leg 2 days before decorating for prom (fell off a balcony trying to put up the lights) so I had a purple cast to match my dress, and my date's mom insisted upon decorating my crutches with roses. Ouch.
    I'd probably fit into my senior prom dress, but it wouldnt be pretty. I almost have to hate you for fitting into yours...

  4. I have a few of mine still but I don't think I'd fit into any of them. I can still have baby weight 3.5 years after giving birth, right? my prom dresses are dates 1996-2000... might have to dig out some pictures...

  5. Ah the puffy sleeves. Which then reminds me of the Seinfield puffy sleeve episode. haha

    My prom dress was polka dots & it was strapless thank God, but I made it myself.

  6. Way funny that you went to Chuck E!!!!

    Awesome that all your dresses fit! It doesn't surprise me with all the x-country skiing you do!

    Pretty nice to say huh?!

  7. There's no way I could still fit in my prom dresses. I have no clue what I weighed in 8th grade, but I do know when I was a Senior, I tried to give blood, and didn't weigh enough! I weighed 109 lbs, which at 5'6" was way too thin!

    I should try to dig out some prom pics. I went to four, and actually wore a hoop skirt to one!

  8. Oh, prom. What a disaster. Not ready to post that online yet, though. :-P Kudos to you, though!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
