3 Ways To Clog With Ugglebo


My wonderful friends at Ugglebo have inspired me once again for a style post.  While spending hours on my feet styling hair, I began to develop chronic foot annoyances of various kinds.  Thus, it has been a continuos challenge finding stylish shoes that are comfortable and look cute as well.

I found that my lovely red Ugglebo clogs are my "go to" cute and comfy shoes.  These clogs are no one trick pony, so here are three ways I wear my Ugglebo's.  (You can view my pair here)

Family Thrift Trip

After making a house call to a client's house, I was ready to go on an adventure.  I asked my husband if we could go to a small town about twenty minuets away from us, exotic Clinton, Illinois, to check out the thrift stores. Next thing I knew we were loaded up in the car and off to find some treausures.  I love going thrifting in other towns seeing what knick knacks they have to offer. Here is what I brought home...

Work From Home

Every week I start out with the best intention of making some sort of little blog post everyday. Then the week starts rolling and time passes by.  For the most part I am thrifter, mum and wife.  But there are times when I need to help papa pay the bills. Working from home is wonderful, but there is definitely an adjustment period going on right now. As my little Wolfman grows up and becomes more vocal about likes and dislikes, the joys of multi-tasking become center stage. So this little post is a small thank you to my friends, family , and clients for being so helpful, loyal and supportive.

Cupcakes & Cocktails

I always feel like September is a pre-game for the Christmas season because all my family and a fair amount of my friends celebrate their birthday this month.  With all this in mind and my constant desire to bake and make decorations ala Martha Stewart, I told my dear friend Sally, who has an amazing Victorian home, that we need to have a cupcake party.  Being the kind gal that Sal is, she let me just run with it. Thus the baking and garland making began...
Simple tissue and notecard garland, love showing off my art skills.
Whoopie pies were something I was craving.  So since it was partially my party I did gladly oblige....myself.

Nutella butter cream on white cake is always a crowd pleaser.
This beautiful peanut butter frosting laid upon some devil's food cake, my husband's favorite.
My baking assistant needed a banana break. He's not used to being in the baking trenches like I am.

Packed up and ready to go!

Bow tie, Jon-jon,and slicked hair, Wolf was ready to party.

The evening was short for me.  Wolfgang needed to go to bed early that night , and I was crashing hard from my sugar high.

October First

Today was the picture perfect afternoon to ring in the new month, and start the count down to Wolfgang's first birthday.  One benefit to living in central Illinois is that we have plenty of farms and a wonderful local one with pumpkins. Raders Family Farm, will now be a part of our yearly family fall tradition.





 I felt like I was in Martha Stewart Magazine.

 Papa is stumped, sorry lame joke!
 Of course we took some home.

 Wolfgang loves his wheels.
