For the love of all things Chalkboard

I have become obsessed with chalkboards!!! I am not sure why and I think I may need to join a anonymous group for support for my obsessiveness. I even have a pinterest board dedicated to it!!!  Mondo has supported me in my love of chalkboards and is even willing to buy me one. Problem is I want to create a custom one and need to find the perfect picture frame. I have been scouring the thrift stores in hunt for it and have yet to find it. 

I do like the chalkboard prints although, I like the idea of changing a chalkboard on a whim. A blogger that I follow does do a few chalkboard prints, you can visit her etsy shop here. Currently she has a coupon code COUSINEDDIE for 30% off your order. Finding some inspiration from her I created my own. 

These are quotes from our amazing Pastor. Every week he has a quote that has inspired my own hashtag #joshbinglequotes and my designing of these chalk prints. I thought I would share them with you.


This one was from this last week. He has been teaching on the fruits of the spirit as of lately and this last week was on goodness. 
 From over the summer. Pastor Josh was talking on being confident in the goodness of our God and trusting Him to make a way when there seems to be none.
 Love this one! On his current series the fruits of the spirit, kindness. He talked about how kindness can make a bridge for people.
This one is my FAVORITE!! Again, on his current series he talked about finding peace in every situation.

Have you got on the chalkboard band wagon?

I promise later this week to continue with the regular blogging schedule. To bring in the festive spirit I will share with you my favorite holiday wear, for baby and mom!

My name is Dorinda and I love Chalkboards

Latest Fashion Trip

Since I reached my July 12th weight loss goal. I rewarded myself with some much needed shopping therapy.

Here is what I found.
(I had to take some pics by myself, sorry for the quality. I need to work on my photography skills)



Mommy shopping:
Statement Necklace:$10, Make any simple outfit amazing with this necklace
Hi-Lo T-shirt dress: $15, Probably one of my favorites!! Super comfy!
Skinny Jeans: $15, Everyone needs a hot pair of skinnies!!
Leggings: $8, I live in leggings, so therefore I'm always having to replace them.
Yoga pants: $15, I told myself after every goal met, I will buy myself new workout gear to encourage myself to keep working out.
White tennies: $5, these look super cute with skirts and dresses
Chambray top: $7.50.  I already have one in a tighter fit; this one is a looser fit.  Hey, you can never have too many. (similar,similar)



Mackenzie:
Tank top: $4, love the polka dots.
Jean shorts: $7 (similar,similar)

She was is in desperate need of shorts. I have figured out her height is in her legs and all of her pants look like flood waiters. 

I also found Mackenzie some great thrift store finds in her next size:

Top left: Carters long sleeve top (similar,similar)
Top right: Minnie Mouse top (similar, similar)
Bottom left: leopard pants (similar,similar)
Bottom right: Chambray top (similar,similar)



Hopefully, I will meet my labor day goal and I'll get to go shopping again!!

I am going to post a blog about a gym to lunch date outfit, and a shopping outfit. So, look for those and in a few days I will post a book review on the White Queen. 

I have been considering doing mommy and mini styles for both mom's and daughters and mom's and sons. Is this a good idea?

Shopping love,
Dorinda
