Love them!
Waist: Feels true to size

Pros: Flattering, Stylish, Comfortable, Great Color
Cons: A little tight in knee
Best Uses: Casual Wear
Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser
I love these jeans. With a coupon, I got them for $9.99. They are very flattering and fit really well. I did notice when I first put them on that they were a bit tight in the knees but after a few hours they stretched out and were more comfortable. If not for the tightness in the knees I would probably have gone with one size down from my normal size with how stretchy they are. Overall, I really like them and would buy them again.

A visit
Sorry for the grainy camera phone picture quality.
In other news, it's really beginning to look like fall around here. The corn is really high and things are turning from green to golden and red.

Zip-free™ wide-leg plus size trousers give you the comfort of your favorite knit pants with the polish of a twill.
- roomy legs
- modern fit, they sit at waist
- wide pull-on contoured waistband with elastic at top edge
- back shaping darts <...
Great Pants
Waist: Feels true to size
Inseam: Feels true to length
Pros: Great Color, Attractive Design, Flattering, Quality Material, Comfortable
Best Uses: Business Casual, Going Out
Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper
Love these pants. The only reason that I didn't give them a perfect rating is because the wide legs weren't as wide as I expected. Some reviewers said to order a size down, but I ordered the size I typically do from WW and it fit just great.

Keepin' Busy
Some snippets of our living room. This first picture is the most accurate of the color which is by KILZ. The color is called Carmelized.

Berry picking
Berries!
For some reason my children want to make goofy faces whenever I take their photo lately...
My handsome husband
Josh made friends with the bloodhound who lives at the farm.
More berries, yum!

Abby's room
Keep in mind that while this is Abby and Daddy's version of clean, it is Mommy's version of "looks-like-your-toy-box-exploded-in-here".
We let Abby help us paint a bit. We also wanted to let her leave her own special mark on the room, so she made these hand prints on one wall.
What's new in the room: paint, curtains, desk, chair, bookshelf, iMac.
Still to come: hopefully the cleaning fairy will visit, new lamp and wall decor. I like these from IKEA for near her bed.
