relax

what a great weekend! i always love going up north and visiting family, so relaxing and super mellow and who doesn't love getting to spend a bit of quality time with their cute little niece! I DO!!

we did a lot of laughing, playing of blocks, eating, drinking & reading books :D the little nugget is getting more human every time we see her and it is so exciting to see her grow up!!

we went to our favorite thrift store, aubergine and i scored a pair of pleated skirts, one cream and the other black. basic is always great!



i also scored some really cute earrings...these hand painted wooden giraffe earrings that will go perfectly with my wooden necklace and these awesome floral hoop earrings!

there are always treasures to be had there and they have such great vintage dresses but nothing caught my eye this time!


i hope you all have a great memorial day! i have to work and oddly i am totally okay with that! that's a great sign :)

  4. We had a backyard get together yesterday and it is weird to see the kids growing up so quickly and turning into little adult like version of their baby selfs. :) Hope you have a good time at work!
