This particular coat is from Anthropologie buy you can find them anywhere these days. Madewell, J Crew and Rag & Bone all have a version. There is something nice about the neutral color-blocking and wool together in a simple shape. I think that its funny that first I coveted lace up saddle shoes and now a type of varsity jacket. Am I subconsciously trying to re-create an old high school film where I am the modern female stay at home mom version of the football star? ^_^
Sunday we visited the natural history exhibit at the Oakland Museum. Emma was excited to see the big animals and exotic fish that they had on display. We like to listen to Ron Crotty play jazz, say hi to the fish and turtles in the ponds and see maybe see one exhibit so the free days on first sundays suit us well.
Dressing up is not just for Halloween. This picture could have been any day of the week because Clover loves to dress up!
Its too bad that she also gets a lot of unwanted attention about her clothes. I have never expected that she acknowledge strangers that speak to her and I wish that people would simply leave her alone. Sometimes I will chime in with a tidbit about how kids love dress up or something but more often than not I do not engage. There are a million reasons why it bothers me and I wish our society would stop commenting on girl’s and women’s clothing when they are out in public. Why is this a thing?!
I love this picture even more because Emma is six feet off the ground in the arms of a person who empower her most to be the person that she wants to be.
No more back problems, no more struggles with bowed out wheels, no more feet of my sleeping child dragging on the ground! This is the hew hotness.
I am enjoying the light lately and the warm glow through the tent. Totally blown away when I saw this tea party. So creative and funny.
I love spending time with these two. We went to the Oakland Museum together this week. They bought a gyroscope and it gets played with daily. ^_^
