End of Summer...

I have to apologize for my lack of posts as of late. I have been to Rhode Island, California, and Florida in less than one month, and a travel schedule like that on top of work is hectic to say the least! Doesn't leave much time for The Southern Eclectic, BUT I am never traveling again so problem solved.

I was in Florida shooting the lookbook for my clothing line which made that trip amazingly fun! It was extremely last minute as we moved the shoot from Bali to Miami a week before the shoot was supposed to take place, so arranging everything in four days was complete insanity. It turned out beautifully well though and I am so excited to finally be able to show you a little sneak peek....after I catch up up on the end of summer...

We played on the beach...and can we just talk about the matching bathing suits for a sec? Biz picked them out all by himself. Heartsies.

Got super dizzy...

{Baby belly is growing fast!}

Ate lots of sand...

Partially melted as we got off the airplane from CA back in TX... and this:

The 108 temp pic above was taken {on the way home from the airport} about point two seconds before we made a swift exit from the car. Let me explain. This is how it went:

Biz: How did Big Squish get a Larabar all over his arm?

S: Huh? I didn't give him a Larabar.

Biz: Well there's brown stuff all over him. What else could it be?

S and Biz lock eyes. Oh you know what.

S: Well do something!!! It's going to start to stink!

Biz: What do you want me to do?! It's rush hour traffic and everything is in the back of the car!

S: I don't know! Scoop it out!

Biz: With my magic scoop? What the heck?!

S: With a wipe! WIPE! Huggies supreme hefty heavy duty wipes! Stat!

Biz: *commences scooping*

Biz: There is so much it's falling everywhere. It's squishing out his shorts. Like, down to his knees.

S: GAGS x 1 million

Biz: *scooping*

S: *gagging* *trying not to crash*

Clearly this is not working, so we proceed to pull over on the side of the highway, rush hour traffic, 108 degrees outside, to quarantine Big Squish and the entire backseat of my car. A whole package of wipes later, child, car, mom, dad and car seat were sanitized enough to complete the drive home. I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest apologies to the half of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex that witnessed our doo incident on the side of the highway that day. Sorry! But at least you got a little laugh during an otherwise dull and boring commute home :)
