Hooked on Crochet

This past weekend we finally went out to a semi-nice dinner with the kids!  Success!!  It was the type of restaurant that didn't have a kids menu but could make certain kid friendly foods for them. For those of you who are parents, you know what I'm talking about...yes, the restaurant we are all afraid to take our kids to (wink, wink).  Luckily, they were well behaved, loved their dinner, and had a great time!

Our trick when looking for a place to eat is finding a restaurant where we can easily walk to get dessert close by (like an ice cream shop) and/or a place that is close to a park or playground so they can run around a little after dinner.

I wore these cute crochet rimmed shorts for under $15.  Similar versions are here and here.

I love crochet!  It reminds me of my grandmother who did a lot of crocheting and knitting when I was growing up.  I talked about another crochet shirt in a previous link here.  It's also so feminine and pretty!

I was looking for a shirt that would go well with the shorts and wanted something more flowing and chiffon like material instead of cotton.  This tank is great, very light, and not too dressy.  Similar styles are here and here.

I blogged about  these shoes in a  previous post.  So comfy and I love the studs!

We absolutely love being by the water!  If you've seen my other posts you'll notice a water them...ha!  It's just so healing.  If you live in Westchester, NY Pierson Park in Tarrytown is one of our favs!

Overall, a beautiful weekend and an amazing night out with our kids!
