cardigan: american apparel (thanks nona!) lunch at brasa, cortado and mast brothers chocolate at dogwood, hair styling at chicky’s, dinner w bree at crave, feeling of accomplishment on words with friends. i also stopped by my old jr high to visit my very favorite, most influential teacher, mrs homans, whom i had in 5th and 6th grade. we chatted over coffee and all was affirmed as to why i keep going back to say hello and let her know how great she was in my young life. ***

(please notice empty wipes container [i actually went through two stashes]).
melinda: my dad is thoroughly wonderful and thoughtful. his example of love is how i ended up with a man like jp — i knew i wouldn’t settle for anything less. i am having a beautiful time here and would stay for much longer if i didn’t miss my dear old bubs back home so so so much (or have a job that resumed on monday).
flowered shirt/dress: thrifted baby gap
pantaloons: thrifted makie
mock turtleneck onesie: thrifted hanna andersson
facetime, nap time, dinner time, bed time.
oh, and in between nap time and dinner time was spa time: my dad had his massage therapist come to the house and give his ladies (me, erica, and my mama) the most healing massages we’ve ever received. thanks papa and joy!

kelsey: how fun we share the same tradition! the guys at my hubby’s coffee shop give me a hard time for drinking this frou-frou coffee but, like you said, there is just something wonderful and cozy about it.
melinda: i should have mentioned the swing! we don’t use it as much anymore but it is a perfect (and secure) place to set her down in while i rush around getting things done. and she seems to have learned how to soothe herself in there when she’s oh-so tired. she gives me just a couple of squawks and then usually finds her thumb and passes out. amazing! we got ours off craigslist for pennies.
vintage knit sweater: thrift store
onesie with flowers: target
tulle skirt: target
“she’s eating my arm!”
my first pumpkin spice latte of the season. every year i text my beautiful friend, jasmin, and tell her i got it and am thinking of her. i love this tradition.
super smiley and happy at yo yo doughnuts. after this we went to visit my father and his eighth-grade students in their earth science class. we are brave souls, i know.

onesie: salvagetti bike shop
pink cheetah sweatpants: thrifted zubaz for babies (not really, but they sorta look like them)
