THE SALE EDIT + OTHER GOODIES

But really though. It’s happening. And even as I wipe my tears for the fact that I’m not seeing my family this holiday season, it’s still happening and the kids and I are already watching Elf once a day over here. So, yes, it’s been the weirdest and hardest year ever, and it continues to get weirder and harder. And the news sucks, people are crazy and it makes me want to get on a boat in the Gulf and never return. Dramatic much? Well, here’s the good news. Christmas is not canceled. We are still decorating the tree, stuffing the stockings and making pretty choices when thinking about gifts. And because Black Friday is already happening and you know I’m not a full price retail kinda girl, I’ve complied a list for the not so naughty. In this list, I’ve included a few things that won’t be fitting in my stocking this year because rugs and furniture for the beach bungalow are on my list instead of socks and underwear. But don’t worry, I’ve included a few of those too, because nobody wants cold feet this winter. :)

20 KIDS BETWEEN US AND THE BEAUTY OF KNOWING

This just in. Being real is the new black. Maybe it’s age that brings this wisdom. Maybe it’s experience. Maybe it’s both. But what it most certainly is for sure, is the truth. And whether it’s grainy or crystal clear, when it comes out, it feels like you’re born again. And for the record, that is not a joke. It’s the knowing. The real, beauty of knowing. And what that can do for your soul? Everything.


GIVE ME THE WHITE STRIPES

Some people hate stripes. White stripes. Any stripes. Not me. In fact for some reason I'm slightly obsessed with them. And although some say they are not the most flattering, I strongly disagree.  In fact I purchased this blouse because it was super flattering over my imperfect twin mom body. And it felt spring. And fresh. And "mom" enough to wear to the spring fair at my daughter's school. Add some cutoff's and this is my perma-uni all spring long transitioning into summer. And mom approved for mom style.
