I am currently perusing online, trying to find discount medical uniforms. I am not paying out the wazoo for a scrub uniform until I know just how well the brand is going to fit me. And I know there are several bloggers out there in the medical profession, so tell me, what is your favorite brand of scrub wear?

What I need to know from my readers is this- do any of you wear/order scrubs online?  I have about five sets from http://www.blueskyscrubs.com and while I love their scrubs, I want something different.  I want something with pattern.  And at the rate I have been dropping weight lately, I definitely need to invest in new scrubs sometime soon.  I can take wear a baggier top, but when I am constantly having to pull up my pants?  It’s time to go shopping!

First and foremost.. I need summer clothes and stat! All of those cute dresses/skirts I purchased last summer no longer fit. Somehow in the mix of everything, I have managed to lose weight. I also need some cute shoes/sandals, but for crying out loud… they hardly make any cute womens sandals for those us that wear a size twelve. Or am I imagining that?

Secondly.. the kids and I are getting ready to move into our own home. It needs some remodeling, but it’s livable in it’s current state. It’s all cosmetic and can be worked on as time and money allow. I am a little nervous to be taking on such a big investment by myself, but pretty excited at the same time.

And thirdly.. I am in the process of planning a Disney vacation for me and the kids. The plan is to leave the day after Christmas and come home January 2nd or 3rd. Planning has gone fabulously thus far, so we shall see how the end process turns out. My grandparents are renting one of their time shares for the children and I to use, as they want to be part of their first Disney vacation/experience.

So that is my life in a nutshell. There is a lot going on right now, hence the reason for all of these guest posts and lack of updates.

I have to say I was really impressed with their selection and the prices. The shoes womens section is extensive and as I said extremely impressive.

She has asked me to be part of the wedding party and has given us the option of wearing any style of floor length gown we wish, as long as they are in her colors. I need help deciding on which style to wear. It should also be noted that all of the bridesmaids are to wear a different style. Below are my two options (they are what is left):
