what i wore wednesday

November 30th | what i wore wednesdays

it’s wednesday and i’m linking up with lindsey at the pleated poppy for some fashion inspiration!
after being home sick {and hanging out with two sick kiddos} for three days straight, i managed to get dressed yesterday. the butterfly dress is from target last year, and the cardi is from target too. boots, anthropologie. scarf, zara {purchased while we were in england}.

these boots are my go to boots. i wear them at least 3-4x a week. i wear them with jeans and skirts. i love them! but the heel is going and i’m starting to think they might need to be replaced before winter is through. don’t you hate it when a great wardrobe staple wears out?

November 22nd | thoughts

the other day i drew a tree on our big chalkboard and matthias and i filled in some things we are thankful for on each leaf.

He is thankful for captain underpants, God, art, treats and everything {his words}

I’m thankful for our little family, living in a place where we can get great healthcare, a job that allows us a lot of flexibility and you! Thank you for visiting here and sharing our journey. I am so grateful for this community.
