PURPLE AND MUSTARD
I am so glad you enjoyed meeting my daughter on yesterday’s post. But guess who came to work this morning and wanted to know when “he” was going to be featured? The baby of the family is wanting to have his day in the sun. Haha
Joseph is the youngest of my three children. He is the quietest in nature, blonde and blue eyed, in other words, the most like me. He went through a stage when he was young when he refused to get his picture taken. Some of my favorite pictures where during this phase. When he was in Pre-K, they let the children dress up for Halloween, and they took their pictures and placed them in an ornament to give their parents for Christmas. Joseph was Barney the big purple dinosaur. My ornament is on my tree every year. It is the picture of a dinosaur, from the back, and his snow white blonde hair. No face, just him from the back. He had refused to turn around.
We attended a wedding when he was around 6, and after the ceremony every one was gathered taking pictures. All of a sudden, Joseph is striking poses, and yelling take one of me, take one of me. I don’t know what snapped, but the shy phase had ended. Haha
Joseph later on became the class comedian. He would talk and talk in school, but he never got in too much trouble. He was a charmer, and that extend to his teachers. I went to school to talk to one teacher about him, just to see how he was doing. She told me that she had moved he in almost every seat in the classroom to try to keep him from talking to his neighbor. Out of desperation, she had moved he desk right beside hers, with his back to the rest of the class. Yep, all he did was talk to her then. Hahaha She said she couldn’t get mad, he was just so darn charming. Unfortunately that was in high school, not grade school. Lol!
I LIKE today’s outfit!!! It is an old as the hills purple GAP cardigan. It was so old that I had to remove a ton of “pills” from it before I could even put it on. I used a sweater stone, and in just a few minutes I had a pile of fluff, and a sweater that looked good as new. 
Here are some cardigans that are similar.
I am carrying old faithful. This Dooney & Bourke purse can be carried year round, it doesn’t matter what the season. Here is a similar one in several different colors. The ivory espadrilles are by Isaac Mizrahi, and I think I bought them last year.
Now for the jewelry. My necklace is by Premier Designs and it is called Kaleidoscope. I don’t know who sells Premier Jewelry, (you can buy it off Ebay), but if any of you sell this and want to comment your information please feel free. My bracelets are by Stella & Dot and Chloe & Isabel. I am also wearing one of my favorite bracelets. If you have read many of my post, you have seen me wearing a black bracelet with charms. These bracelets are called By The Book, and each one has a different scripture. I am wearing Jeremiah 29:11. Today is my 7 month anniversary!!! So, I am going to be giving away a Jeremiah 29:11 By The Book bracelet. I know in price this is not an expensive gift, but it is one that is near to my heart. I hope if you win this, you will cherish it as much as I have mine. To enter I am doing something a little different. My son has recently started a YouTube channel. He is hilarious, I told you he was a comedian. I want you to watch the video below and leave me a comment telling me what you thought was the funniest part of the video. I will announce the gift on Sunday.

I love the purple and mustard – never thought of those together. Wish I could find those pants!
So funny, loved the whisper part
So funny! The funniest part to me was the obsession with the cut off head! And how your son would just burst into song during the game! They seem like a very happy couple!
“Is this English?!” How funny!
Love these colors together!
The helium voices crack me up! So funny!
Your son is hilarious. I laughed through the whole thing. I guess the funniest part to me was him singing along with headphones on. He was really getting into the music only we couldn’t hear it. All we could hear was him.
Oh My Cow…that was funny. I think the funniest park to me was when he put on the headphones and started talking louder then looking in the camera to see how cool he looked. Love it!!! Thanks for sharing your family with all of us.
Hilarious! I love boy humor–the helium voices and the banter between the two was my favorite. Your son is a cutie!!
So cute! I thought the funniest part was Joseph’s bopping to the music.
I think the entire thing was funny and cute! I can see how he would easily charm his way out of any trouble!
I thought the heater pump was so funny! That it wouldn’t turn off! What a fun game! I plan to try it with a group of 4 couples this weekend. Thanks for the idea!!
I can’t decide x-box or America! LAUGH for the day!
Hahahaha! I loved it when he told her to “give me some sugar”. She was all puckered up and ready to go and then he pulls away. “I am too much man for this chair.” Hahahaha! Tania, your kids are adorable. That daughter of yours is precious in every way…..I can tell. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree at your house.
I loved his dance moves. They were hilarious!
Loved the video and I watched the one where they did Chubby Bunny too. Loved where he was trying to adjust because it was cutting his head off – LOL. They are so cute together!
Congratulations on 7 months! I LOVE the blog!
All very cute. Loved the chair comment & “Is this English?” on Nickleback.
Love the outfit! I have the pants pattern in the dress version w/ the mustard sweater. I have the pants in my shopping cart. May purchase today. I think it’s time to use my Old Navy cash. Yay!!
I loved the Whisper Challenge and one of the funniest comments was the “too much man for one chair”. Loved their interaction. Just adorable. I’ve subscribed to their channel and look forward to more from them.
My favorite part is his dancing and singing. And not whispering during the whisper challenge! Funny!
What it not to love. Reminds me of my son…he always has us cracking up. But he doesn’t dance and sing…your son is a hoot. Yes love the dancing and singing!
I loved The Whisper Challenge part – but his overall southern inflection was so funny!!
The whisper Challenge is the best part! 🙂
They are too cute!!!!! Hard to pick a funniest part… loved his “I am too much man for one chair” :). Love your blog! Karen
He is so cute and funny. My favorite part is him dancing to the music. And of course when she said “nickelback” and he asked “is that english”?
I haven’t bought anything in the mustard color because I can’t figure out what colors to pair it with. The purple is perfect!
Really enjoying your blog!! Congrats!!
I loved the video. The funniest part to me is that he came by your work today and asked when HE was going to be a feature on your blog.
🙂

I adore this outfit…pixie pants for the win!!
I loved the whisper challenge. Fav part is whrn they changed their voices. Hilarious

My favorite part was the “English?” Too funny!!! What a charming young man.
Funny interactions, I loved his singing and reactions to the pink beats! When he tried guessing her words, hilarious!
During the 2nd & 3rd segments both of their voices sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks! Both seem to be enjoying each others company… It’s the simple things in life that are best! I love it when both of my adult “kids” get together and have moments like these. As far as today’s outfit, love the purple and mustard combo which is one of my favorites.
Toss up for me between 1) SHOUTING the words instead of whispering (especially Kayla!), Joseph’s frustration with “window” and the munchkin voices on the Bloopers!
Tania thanks for sharing video. I thought my favorite part was Video 1 when Joseph was singing and bopping along to the music, so funny! Then when I saw the second one their voices just cracked me up. It was so much fun to watch. They are hysterical together. Is the girl your son’s girlfriend?
Love that purple cardigan! You’re a gal after my own heart! Pills on my fav sweater? No problem! Shave them off! – Personally, I will wear something until it disintegrates! ha! No “clothes snob” here! – Love the colors, and those pants are so pretty! I have a flowered denim jacket very similar to the pattern of your pants. Maybe a purple tank is on my “I want/I need” list! – Joseph is ‘teddy bear’ of a young man! You can tell he takes his “happy” with him wherever he goes or whatever he does. That’s a treasure, and I’m sure he’ll be one to spread joy to others all his life! The video is so funny & adorable! What a cute couple! They look so happy, and having such fun. My fav part? -“POOP! i NAILED IT!” hahahaha!
Joseph is adorable and charming is right…I bet his teacher couldn’t keep a straight face. I love the “nickelback” but I loved when he danced and sang out very LOUD during the whisper challenge 😉
Frickin Hilarious!!!!! I may have to subscribe to them!! and also do that challenge with our friends at bonfire night & after a few drinks! thats awesome!!
Everyone needs a good laugh to get their day going, your son completely did that
Soooo funny! Love that they do the opposite of whisper, they were both a hoot!! Thanks for sharing.
Oh how I needed a good laugh this morning! Your son is hilarious!!!! “I am too much man for this chair to handle.” That remark nearly killed me! LOL!!! Your beautiful outfit today looks like it came as a set, it matches so perfectly! You really know how to shop, girl!
Oh my Gosh! So funny!!! My favorite part is his dancing and singing through out the entire video. He’s hilarious!! Thanks for sharing….made my morning!
The video, including the bloopers, was hilarious, but I cracked up hearing him sing while wearing the “ear beats” as she was trying to talk! They are too cute!
Loved the purple and gold together, has to be one of my favorites so far!
Loved watching that…It was a hoot! I’d pay $ to see them in a comedy show! Their interaction with each other…nickelback….English? So many funny parts – I can’t pick JUST one….absolutely put a smile on my face & made my day! I needed this sooooo bad today (if you only knew!) THANKS for sharing! (Love your outfit, too!)
First let me say,l I Love your outfit!! Second, your son is an absolute charmer. I feel like when he is around, there is never a dull moment. What a fun-spirited man he is!! Have a beautiful day!!!
I love the purple and gold. You have inspired me to lose weight so I can wear cute, floral pants!
I loved the video! They are such an adorable couple. I laughed so hard when he realized the top of his head was cut off. Yes, he is a charmer! What a great way to start the day.
We’re supposed to choose the part we thought was the funniest? How can I chose ONE thing when I laughed through the entire video!!! Then, I had to watch the Chubby Bunny video too, and if I didn’t have to get ready for work right now (and take out the trash before I go), I would have found ALL of their videos to watch because they are adorable and hilarious!!! I totally cracked up when Joseph was singing and dancing to the music! Tania, what awesome kids you have!
Having been fortunate enough to have both these cuties in my classes, I can attest that they’re 200% charismatic! Funniest moment: when he thinks ‘window ‘is Tyler Berglowe
Oh how cute!! What a blessing he must be. One of my favorite things to do is laugh; I bet everyone he meets just falls in love with him. Love the voice change at the end, sounds like they sucked on balloons or decided to give their best Minnie Mouse interpretations. Also, his little dance moves and the little finger snaps, totally awesome. They seem so sweet, I know they just fill your heart. Love the game, can’t wait to play that with my grandkids. Thank you for sharing!!
~blessings,
Kelly
Such a cute couple! How does she not crack up? Funniest part, he was just funny and he enjoyed it so much! Are you sure he was EVER shy??
Thanks for a good laugh to start my day !your son is a ham !his expressions ,dance moves ,humor bahaaa!the whole thing was my favorite part !sorry couldn’t choose !
Pound the F$@N like button! ? Your son was a hoot and boy he looks just like you! I think he’s like me once you put on headphones! Singing and dancing. Thanks for sharing. You look great in this outfit. Love the colors on you. That’s my favorite necklace!!
Great post, as always. As for your son–he cracks me up! Loved the bloopers best!
So funny the whisper challenge was more like yell challenge! Just recently started following your blog and I love it and your style!
I thought his dance moves were pretty funny, and also when he was trying to guess the word apple. LOL
Haha. The funniest part was when Joseph had the headset on…just his funny personality made me laugh.
Absolutely love love love the video- your son is a nut! My favorite part is when he can’t help but sing and dance when the music is playing!!
Love ALL the outfits and your blog – you are so real—-and that makes you special! Keep it up!
very funny they were both cute, and yes it is hard to believe he was every shy. I love the Barney story, that’s kids for you. I am a teacher and I have defiantly known that kid! and I do mean in high school. One of my favorite classes last year had my biggest talkers, but they were such a good hearted bunch, and all boys. One day they sang most of the period. It was really funny, I had to stop it before it started the next day. You outfit is very cute I love the color combo. And it looks great on you
Well I thought the funniest part was his obsession over his head being cut off . But also I’m too much man for this chair cracked me up. Love this outfit!
The Chipmunk talk was funny, but funnier was not whispering for the whisper challenge. But the funniest to me was I am too much man for this chair, lol! ??? Cute springy outfit???
Hahaha – “Nickleback – Is that even English”
First, what an adorable couple and love the accent. I really liked the word game with headphones. Too funny???. Enjoying hearing about your family.
They are adorable! I want to come to come to a family dinner at your house…..I’m sure there’s lots of laughs and good times!
Lots of funny parts, but I think I liked “I got hella camel toe” best!
Love your outfit! I never thought of putting mustard and purple together but it looks wonderful. Joseph and Kayla are hilarious! I love his singing and dancing, so uninhibited. I’m sure together they keep your family in stitches.
I love that she yells her answers!
Where can I buy the By the Book bracelet? Love the way you write from your heart!
What a great complement of personalities with your son and DIL. He is definitely a charmer and when he asked her “Is this English?” thought I would croak. They are a great couple and the video was super cute! BTW, love the purple and mustard…Can I shop in your closet??
Very cute. I enjoyed the bloopers section.

The whisper round reminded me of Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was funny. They are cute together. Love your outfit and have a blessed day
I think that is about the funniest video I have ever seen. It was all great. What fun they were having. Loved every moment of it. Love the purple and mustard together. I would never have thought to put them together. Love your blog. First thing I read every morning.
OMygosh, chip off the old block as they say ; ) what a cute couple and your son is a hoot! What a cute idea and the fact they are having so much fun with it. I loved all the antics, but especially his sitting dance moves, ha!
Joseph dancing out of his seat, can’t contain that enthusiasm! Oh what a terrific give away! Would love to wear that bracelet!
I’ve enjoyed reading about your family. The kids sound wonderful.
I don’t wear much mustard or purple but may have to think about adding a bit. The way you styled them together with accessories looks very calming to me. Might not be bad for a crazy day at work!
“Hella cameltoe”! That’s the funniest line EVER!
I can see the charmer for sure! The entire video was funny but I really LOLed during the chipmunk part.
Singing and dancing
I thought the funniest part was when Joseph was singing and dancing to his music.
His facial expressions crack me up!
“I am too much man for this chair to handle” lol lol lol ???
I think your son liked listening to the music more than figuring out the words. “Is this English?” Was super funny. Hope I win!!!!
Funny video. Love the purple & mustard together.
oh that boy is a mess! ILove how he “dances in his pants” and declares ‘convict music’- I about spit my coffee out laughing! That was the funniest. Your DIL is precious-She reminds me looks wise of a young Loretta Lynn.
I Have to say regarding your outfit, purple is not usually a favorite, but once again, the way you style it wins me over ( to the purple side 😛 )
I think the best funniest part of the video is the way he dances and how surprised he is when your daughter guesses all the words. Always enjoy reading your blog. It’s part fashion and part life.
You son is so cute! And a good loser!
Joseph is a cutie! I can see why he is close to your heart. I think the funny thing is the interaction between he and Kayla. They are like a team with one being the funny guy and one being the straight person! Thanks for sharing your family with us! Cute outfit! Love your blog!
Joseph is a charmer, for sure! As far as the funniest part of the video, that’s a toughie – there were quite a few moments that were funny! I loved the mistakes in the Whisper Challenge:
Kayla: “Nickelback.”
Joseph: “Is this English?”
LOL!
Then there were the helium voices on part 2. Ha ha ha!
I guess I’m going to have to go with the Nickelback comment Joseph made. That was my favorite, funny part of the video.
Joseph must be a lot of fun at parties!
Thanks for the laughs.
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, I love today’s outfit! Those pants are the cutest, and the purple and mustard combo go really well with them.
Keep up the good work!
The funniest part, of many, was that neither of them Whispered the words in the Whisper Challenge. 🙂
