daily ritual : vacation edition

i think i probably got this from my mom.
it just makes me feel more organized to layout all the stuff i want to take in one place.
and olivia and sam love it. they started asking weeks before...
“when can we set out stuff in the kitchen?!”

daily ritual

i love make up.
ever since i was in high school and wore ENTIRELY too much.
(mom, dad...hello? olivia, don’t get any ideas)
i don’t have much time (or money) anymore...
but wandering through sephora...browsing at nordstrom...
trying to collect all the products in instyle’s makeup issue...much girly fun.
and maybe now is the time to mention... nars...dolce vita lipstick?
i heart you.

(sorry for the blurry photo...but i just hate the flash.
and didn’t have enough patience for a tripod.)

daily ritual

by special request.
(sorry for the big old mommy voice. i’ll have to remember to be a bit more subtle next time!)

daily ritual

ok. so maybe i make this daily ritual THURSDAY.
one of my favorite times of the day is sitting in bed with brian in the morning drinking coffee. it’s after my shower...but before the rush of the morning starts. it’s nothing special...just watching tv, talking, sipping coffee from out of our tommy bahama mugs.
but i can’t tell you how bummed i am on the days we can’t do it!

daily ritual

thanks to leya at curious bird for this fun idea.
it is supposed to be every wednesday...and i’ve already fallen behind.

we flip a coin every monday morning to see who will start out the week
taking sammy to school. heads mommy, tails daddy. today was my day.
usually we talk more, but sam was busy filming.
we also have a special handshake with words to go with it...love you so, so much.
