Cozy Valentine

What a difference a day makes.
 
I was sitting at my computer this morning staring at the screen for a good 15 minutes, and couldn't think of a single word to put down.

On the way to Sundy dinner at my in-laws there was a storm a brewin' outside. Naturally, when we left the roads were getting pretty bad. They weren't icy yet, just slushy and wet. I was driving in the middle lane on a four lane freeway when suddenly the car next to me in the left lane started to swerve over into me, because of a car in front of it that was drastically slowing down. I had to swerve right so I we wouldn't collide. I started sliding right and over corrected left and just went spinning out of control. I was yelling, "No, no, noooooo!" while K was screaming in the back. We spun three times across traffic all the way into the very left lane just centimeters from the cement median. We were faced against traffic with oncoming cars heading our way. I panicked and whipped the car around as fast as I could to get my ass out of there.

I was holding back tears on the way home, and K kept asking, "Mommy what happened?"
I said, "The roads are slippery, and our tires started sliding." then for some reason he said, "Mommy, was that a skeleton that was spinning our car around?" I started laughing so hard! Thanks for lightening the mood little buddy, I'll love you forever for that.

How we made it out alive is nothing short of a miracle, and I'm feeling so blessed having been watched over by my Heavenly Father. I'm still shaking hours later, and cant stop kissing my babies. You really never know what's going to happen in life, and I'm glad we're still here.

Now it just seems terribly silly to post an outfit, but we must carry on.

Stripes & Dots

Anyone else felt like they had to roll themselves out of bed this morning, still feeling the effects of their Thanksgiving feast from yesterday? My, what a splendid holiday. I hope yours was as fabulous as mine!

And now, Christmas is definitely upon us! Got your gift lists written? Online websites thoroughly browsed? Coupons organized and ready? Santa letters drafted? Ya, we don't either. There is so much to be done! 
And here's another outfit for the books...


Always on board with mixing patterns, even two bold patterns such as stripes and polka dots. Adding a solid coat and shoes neutralizes the look a little, but I can't say I wouldn't throw on a third pattern to kick it up a notch. Gotta take risks!


I always feel more than able to run around after my kids in rainboots. Super comfortable, and no-fuss.

Wellies & Umbrellies

You know when you're sporting a fantastic outfit, feelin' pretty good about yourself, and then it starts to pour, destroying the hopes of that outfit? Oh, we do! 

We headed out last week to photograph our fall-friendly ensembles, only to encounter a rainstorm within a few minutes. Luckily Meagan happens to plan ahead (and live close), so we hurriedly added trench coats, wellies and umbrellas to our outfits, and embraced the beautiful weather!

The fog against the mountain was unbelievable, what a beautiful place we live in!
