One trend I am fully embracing and have always loved, is the polka dot! I find the pattern to be classic and utterly adorable. Polka dots look great on just about anyone and at any age! Today on CCG, I have rounded up my favorite polka dot pieces to wear this season and beyond, details for this look, which, by the way, is on sale (#winning) and vent about being a mom of four!
Happy Polka Dots! Saturday, Neil and I had a blast at a San Jose Sharks game. We used to go ALL the time before kids and I figured it was the perfect V-day gift to give this year. It ended up being Warriors night and we ended up with free jerseys. My favorite part, however, was when SJ Sharkie, their team mascot, facetimed our kids at home from our seats. It was awesome! Today wasn’t so magical as the kids had the day off from school. Sure, that sounds wonderful in theory, however, doing any type of errand running or shopping with four kids is not exactly fun. After three stores, I was flustered, tired and ready to go home and hide in the closet eating my 3 lb box of See’s chocolates. True Story. My 6 year old currently makes this new sound that he finds hilarious. Have any of you seen Toy Story 3? Stay with me here…….remember the monkey that is in charge of “surveillance” at the daycare? Yes? Well…my son sounds like that monkey. I’m not sure that was what he was going for, but nevertheless, that’s how he sounds. It’s even more cringe worthy when he’s doing it through the frozen food section at Safeway and of course his younger brother eggs him on to continue. I just took my three minute shower and it was the best three minutes of my day.
In all seriousness, I love my kids and would do absolutely anything for them, but I don’t know why I put myself through shopping with them on a daily basis. My husband thinks I am crazy but if we need milk, we need milk. Where is that shrugging shoulders emoji when ya need it?
Anyhoo….If you have followed me for a while, I’m sure you have seen the various polka dot pieces that I wear, including this skirt recently worn in Solvang. I’m also a fan of mixing patterns together to complete a fun unique look. It doesn’t matter the season either! Polka dots don’t discriminate! Take a peek below at some of my picks! I currently have quite a few of these in my carts!

Ever feel like you are stuck in a rut; whether it be a relationship, work, …
I sure do love Christmas time. I love shopping and buying gifts for the ones …
Wishing my room actually looked like this right now. It’s currently filled will piles of laundry waiting to be folded after our trip....
Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣...
I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.
I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all. You can also make in batches and reheat for later! You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!

•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes
•leftover Holiday ham for the win
•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)

Make sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat...

I was wondering if you think polka dot print is a good pattern for the bigger girls like me? I personally don’t like the polka dot print on myself I’m a size 14… not a big fan of stripes either. What do you think? I’ve always been self conscious even when I was thinner, something I really need to work on!
