His smile post 10 stitches to the mouth. If you ever need a hug, he’s your guy.
His curl kills me.
There’s no looking back with the perfect nude pump, understated jewels, statement bag, and all black ensemble.

A real Christmas tree farm is the stuff of dreams around here. Alas, traditions can still be made and ours begins with 3 hot cocoas, a latte, and one coffee before our annual search for a skinny tall Fraser Fir from a tree lot in the city. You can bet your bottom branch we didn’t leave there without a couple spills. Speaking of searching, I was thankful my search for a perfect maxi skirt with equal parts stretch and silhouette had ended. Because its all about the silhouette. And the chase for my 3 year old in a maze of Christmas trees was about to begin. And as we left Starbucks, I realized that beyond the hot chocolate and inevitable spills, I am thankful for the more grown up conversations we’re having surrounding Advent and the meaning of Christmas. Back home, with the tree lit in the background, I snuggled #2 and #4 in the rocking chair while the oldest and her brother traced letters and thought, this is it. I don’t think I could trade these simple sweet moments for anything. Well maybe a one way ticket to 350 days of sunshine. Just kidding. A new tree, lots of snuggles, and way too many spills in one day is just how I like to start the Advent season. I just didn’t know it till now.

So sweet. It really is the simple tiny moments that matter. The moments that stop time and we are wise enough to embrace. You're such a ight in this crazy confused world. Thank you!!
Love your purse color! Goes perfect with your turquoise jewelry! That skirt, it's perfect, too! Eeek! I need! Is it double thickness or lined? I contacted the company, and have not heard back yet.
